Love it….typing on this site during a meeting….if anyone is ready to take hold of the truth it is you and your hubby sunshower!BagdadBill and Nomex, thank you. I just had a conversation about this with my husband again and he said the following (him being the brains and I’m being the heart in this marriage, just like Jehovah made us 😉):
He says that the core, the basics, of the teachings of this org have taught us what we know today. And the basics are good; God is Almighty, his name is Jehovah, Jesus is His son who He sent to earth to die for our sins and Jesus will rule as king over Jehovah’s kingdom for 1000, together with the 144.000.
But as Br. King states the Jewish priest became corrupt, so did the Christians after Jesus’ death and so has the org in this time. Hubby says we need to wait for what is said in 1 Peter 4:17 “For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God. Now if it starts first with us, what will the outcome be for those who are not obedient to the good news of God?” And my head gets this! When judgement starts the org will be cleansed, he says. And that makes sense to me.
Like Nomex we watch the meetings using Zoom as we refuse to wear masks. I haven’t wore one since this nonsense and I’m not about to start as the fibers get stuck in your lungs and will make millions ill. Also the oxygen levels in masks are 17,4% and anything under 19% is considered dangerous. But besides that, I feel like a hypocrite just logging in (I am typing this during our meeting, it’s 6PM here now). As I said, no one can make this decision for me and I respect my husband as head of the family so I’m not leaving without him. But my heart’s not in it.
A brother and sister told us that the GB is indeed going along but reveal their true nature later. How? When most brothers and sister are seriously ill or have died from the jab?It was a shock to me when I found that the GB were going along with the well documented covid SCAM. (anyone who would do a small amount of research would know better) Most people of all walks of life are walking right along with the lies. (and a large portion of those knowing it to be wrong, but believing the lie that it is "for the greater good".
Hi Barnaby, yes that is what brought me here 😊 I am well aware we must make our own decision “But there is accomplishment through many advisers.”Have you visited e-watchman.com.?
Hi Sunshower, I see you are a “truth teller“. What you are describing as being hypocritical “preaching” when in fact it is more of a gab fest among the friends than anything else is how I experienced the telephone witnessing too. In fact, I couldn’t do it and at first, I just did the letter writing and telephone calling with my husband and I didn’t join in a group because I don’t do hypocrisy. If it was truly to get the preaching done, then it would only be in groups of 2 people max. Why do the rest of the friends just sit around listening? It makes no sense and does not contribute to preaching. Think about how Jehovah feels about it. We all need to just tell the truth and have a honest appraisal of what we are doing and why we are doing it. I still preach but informally and when I get a chance on this forum. I also feel that building up the friends is preaching. I no longer turn in my time and I am now inactive as far as the congregation is concerned. What helps me is to look at the pattern of the first century christians. They did not have elaborate time keeping and training.Sorry but in the beginning 5 of us took 2 hours to write a card to a sister’s cousin (she was very precise about what she didn’t want in there). That is 10 hours reported as field ministry, I felt like a total hypocrite.
Also our circle overseer told our elders that efficiency isn’t one of the fruitige of the spirit so half of the ministry is just “reconnecting” with brs and srs who we haven’t seen face to face in over a year.
We all have different circumstances and you'll find some of our stories and points of view here. To me personally, my conscience wouldn't allow me to turn a blind eye to the complicity of the organization with Satan's political system and the covidian lies, no matter the doctrine truth still there. Galatians 5:8, 9: 8 This sort of persuasion does not come from the One calling you. 9 A little leaven ferments the whole batch of dough.I know we have to make the decision for ourselves but I’d like to know which one you choose and your motivation to do so. As the song says: Should I stay or should I go. I’d love to hear your comments.
Leave it Nomex to post the 3M respirator operating instructions. You gotta love it!!
Yep, my husband calls me passionate 😂 It has brought me in a dire position many times, I can tell you that.Hi Sunshower, I see you are a “truth teller“.
Wow! You captured the essence of one of the most glaring points of frustration for me in these two simple sentences David1982! Nicely put!Wasn't the whole point of being "in the truth", to always speak the truth, and defend it with zeal? Now defending the truth with zeal has become "having strong opinions that threaten our precious unity"
Howdy Sunshower. Nice to see some Euro Blood on board. The Forum is mainly made up of Americans, America B ( Canadians) POMS (Brits) Random Australians (New Jerusalem) and Australia Lite ( New Zealanders). One or two from Cocaine Country (South America) . ......and last but not least a few stray hippies from Hawaii 😉Hi all,
This is my very first post here. I’m from The Netherlands and still a JW. But doctrines of The Watchtower organisation have been gnawing at me for a couple of years now (since child abuse came to light here, followed by the Covid madness). My husband and I are the only two people not vaxed in our congregation of over a hundred people as far as we’ve been able to determine. But the covidiocracy from the GB really pushed the limits of how far we can still trust them.
Not wanting to disobey Jehovah we find ourselves coming back to two verses in the Bible: Hebrews 10:25: “not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near.” And Revelation 18:4: “And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.”
I know we have to make the decision for ourselves but I’d like to know which one you choose and your motivation to do so. As the song says: Should I stay or should I go. I’d love to hear your comments.
Welcome to this forum Sister Sunshower!! Hope you have a great weekend!!As for influencing me, I need to make my own decision (and listen to my hubby 😉) plus I asked for everyone’s input. So no worries there.
This is brilliant and is kind of what my husband is telling me. Thank you for this, it’s very useful ❤️🥰
Thank you 🙏 All the people have been so friendly and their advise is so useful. I look forward to keep on interacting with you all and learning more deeper Bible truths.Welcome to this forum Sister Sunshower!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
You're most welcome. I actually wrote it for both those who stay and also those who leave. If the decision is to leave we still must find a way to prove Satan a liar and continue to serve Jehovah in whatever circumstance we find ourselves. There is so much opposition to Jehovah by many of our Brothers that have fallen away. This Forum is a unique place as everyone is still firmly on the side of Jehovah regardless of what irrationality springs out of JW.ORG . Hard to find Brothers like that online but they are definitely here and they have a tremendous amount of insight and experience.This is brilliant and is kind of what my husband is telling me. Thank you for this, it’s very useful ❤️🥰
Thank you, Robert. I’ve only just discovered your e-watchman sites (both the English and Dutch versions). I am trying to take it all in but wow, talk about an abundance of spiritual food (compared to the new Bible study “thing” - I can’t call it a book - we are now “studying“ at the Congregation Bible Study).Hello Sunshower. Welcome to the forum. Here is a link to an article posted about 10 years ago before the pandemic, but I think it is still relevant.
You're dang right. If these people refuse to read, I'm going to post their shame! The government was fining huge fines of tens of thousands of dollars to companies who didn't read and know this law, and they will jail you if you continue to ignore, that is they were doing this up until a month before Covid and had been enforcing this for 4 decades.Leave it Nomex to post the 3M respirator operating instructions.
Also, any confined space that is to be worked in requires continuous monitoring of the oxygen level. The metering instrument is required to be equipped with an alarm that sounds any time the oxygen level is measured less than 19%.You're dang right. If these people refuse to read, I'm going to post their shame! The government was fining huge fines of tens of thousands of dollars to companies who didn't read and know this law, and they will jail you if you continue to ignore, that is they were doing this up until a month before Covid and had been enforcing this for 4 decades.
I use a respirator every day at work....and if I had done this to any "employee" they would fine me out of business.
My experience was the exact same thing, @Driven.when in fact it is more of a gab fest among the friends than anything else
