    The congregation my spouse goes to have banned the use of facebook accounts.  They said that they will be actively searching for publishers who are not following their directions.

    This may sound stupid, but I've just heard the song and my heart was touched by it (It probably had a very different effect on most of you). Those beautiful memories are still too recent, I suppose... And I held that  hope for so long... How I loved and trusted Jehovah! How much His friendship meant to me!...

    I agree, watson.  Notice they are only concerned for the "brothers".  I guess everyone else was gonna die at the the big A, anyways, so who cares about them.....

    This was pulled off a JW Facebook site , you'll notice that they person first talks about the worldly government buildings collapsing

    and the worldly bishop dieing, then she insinuates that all JWS are safe and haven't perished in the event like she knows everything that has happened there.

    Its interesting how a statement such as this , carries so much apathetic bullshit but to the eyes and ears of a JWS their words of spiritual

    strength and righteousness for the organization. 

     Bible prophecy has been fulfilled by events like these...........praise Jah everyone.   

     

    The Palace, the hospital, the UN mission,the Parliamentary bldg destroyed, the roman catholic bishop destroyed or dead.......and read below......our Bethel brothers are safe. Lets pray the rest of the brothers and sisters were also under Jehovah...s protective wing..tucked into the breast pocket. If these messages get thru to Haiti or the D.R. and Cuba please know all of us around the world love you and are praying for your safe keeping. May Jehovah be with you. Weather in your home or in the protection of the rock crag. We truly love you all. FYI California and Hawaii are suiting up rescue workers to fly immediately into the area.

    The host quoted a couple of scriptures and applied them to "earthquakes," and the Russian situation.  OH boy, destruction is near!!

    Interesting in the quotation from the facebook page (above in highlighted yellow) where the JW who wrote it credits Jehovah with protecting the "brothers and sisters" when so many non-JWs died......

      S/he says that help for the earthquake victims is on the way via rescue workers from Hawaii and California.  But what is the chance that many or any of those rescue workers are JW's?  The rescue workers, furthermore, will not be selecting who receives their protection and aid based on religious affiliation as Jehovah apparently does.

      They don't want to be questioned or criticized because the true answers would make the skeletons fall out of the closet with all the dirty laundry wrapped around them. LOL!  Yes indeed WT society  is a cult . Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    Somehow I don't think the WT would appreciate its adherents referring to themselves as "fans."

    goldensky, seeing sincere fellowship is always moving. But to say that you'll only find it in the WT is a joke of (pardon the pun) Biblical proportions.

    I don't think that's so strange, I can still feel that way.

    There's nothing strange about trusting, loving, and being friends with God (whether you call him Jehovah, Yahweh, Jesus, just plain "God" or something else entirely). I still do, even though I'm a little pissed off at Him at the moment. It's like any other relationship.

    Maybe they are another class?

    1. Governing Body
    2. Annointed
    3. Elders
    4. Other Sheep
    5. Fans of Jehovah's Witnesses

     

    who knows what may follow.. "pets of fans' of Jehovah's Witnesses"?
