King of the North = KIm of North Korea.
Sounds more or less the same. I am running to the KH now for a Bible study and Baptism.
hi eveyone, my sis told me something like where will i be after that day.
i couldnt realize at first what she meant, but i found this on net donald-trump-kim-jong-un-meeting-singapore-june-12/.
i found her reaction so pathetic, but i think she is really sorry for me leaving.. so how to do you reply to jw family or generally when news about world peace comes out?.

in this midweek meeting the local needs was a booooring speech about the new brochure on donations.
the wt must think the jws are dying to know how to give their money.. well, it's not new this is disgusting but this time, after i ve been slightly hinting people here and there for a year about the 'abnormal request of money' and remind them that 'the faithful slave wasn't like that until some time ago', this time i saw their faces.
they did get bothered with that talk.
THat is really bad news for me. I work for living and my wife doesn't work and is an Active JW.
My hard earned money goes to these GB thugs through my Wife.
Would any one please advise how to deal with this. (How to make my wife stop or lessen the money she gives to WT)
a few years ago i attended the kingdom hall during "easter" as my mother in law asked me to come to a service.
i was hesitant at first, being a christian and a believer in jesus, she told me that jw believe in jesus and to come see for myself.
i finally agreed to go.
I was in that religion for 11 years and couldn't understand that.
I don't think anyone can provide a convincing explanation, even its Existing members (Including their priests and Popes called as elders and Governing Body ..)
umm how do you think islands are formed to begin with?
!.
Earth quakes - Bad design.
Cant the Almighty recirculate the soil (As Earthquakes does) without damage to life and Property. Should ask this to a JW next time.
i consider myself an atheist.
and right now i'm reading a lot on atheism in general (books written to answer creationists).. i'd be interested in knowing how you became an atheist after leaving the jws and how long did it take?
was it instant or did your belief in a deity gradually decline?.
607 BC - This triggered off my (REAL) research about WT
Bears maul 42 children in Bible. This triggered off my research on the ridiculousness of the Bible.
Turned out to be a Happy Atheist in a Year. Thanks to WT and Bible
4 zombies at the door.
i come out with the nwt and ask who wants to talk about the bible.
if you don't want to talk about the bible why the fuck did you knock and counting time.
JWs are captives to a concept and should be pitied but most are still good people.
How can they be "Good" people when they allow their own children to die based on some vague concepts ?
i often wonder about death.
no one has any idea, do they?
people have speculated since the beginning of time but each original concept of the hereafter as been absurd as the one before.
We humans are just as good as any other living species on the planet. Once gone, the chapter is closed. We cease to exist and are nothing thereafter.
Heaven, Hell, reincarnation, after Life, eternal Life, and resurrection are all Bogus, as far as the evidence until now.
i feel as is he himself wants me to find a life my lost life..affordability jobless almost homeless doe to rent cost..i trust jahova witness and respect their teachings cause to before i liked and understand their mind..but my heart didn't resolve cause my brain not very helpfully i understand i have a important future roll i trust for the first time in jahova..i respect and my person addiction brothers please pray for me, please brothers and sisters please i don't want become a homeless or b more lost in wonder i one jobless truly if am here is because of jahova..the fact of loving a somebody not approved by god or nature i feel as if i like to serve jav as becoming a bomb to kill bugs that harm the good really.
With all respect, but if you trust your God to be your rock, why do you ask others?
Because Rocks are lifeless
perhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.
it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.
jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.
Canadian Sunshine, Have you read the Bible Fully, especially the violence filled Old Testament.
You say so much about "Holy" Bible and Love.
Also, we can very well Justify shunning from the Bible. The Bible advises to slaughter the Unbelievers and Jesus himself says the same point figuratively. As well as Paul who says not to invite anyone into your home, who does not accept Christ.
i have recently read in the news that an attack on iran is planned sometime after the olympics in beijing.
here's a bit of background to it:.
when irans fledgling democracy was overthrown with support of cia the shah of iran was giving israel free oil thru a pipeline that still runs thru saudi arabia to a refinery in the israeli city of haifa.
