Update on meeting with the Elders 12/28/21

Not open for further replies.
I rather agree with Jah-son’s comment in that by visiting the depths of this world, he maintains the contrast in his thinking with the hope of the kingdom. We all do that to a degree as such, though I have to say I have come to end of my endurance in doing so, though I know exactly what he is saying. I woke up this morning to find biblestudent is following me so I know I’m in for a pasting in the near future because she resents anything I write. But I don’t know how to put it a different way that will please her. Maybe monosyllabic might help even though monosyllabic is contradictory in itself. Strange that.
It is strange. I often have replies typed but then I rethink and just delete them with the hope that these spats will die from lack of oxygen. But I have to say that I love the statement that she makes that she has some on ignore and isn’t going to read their comments any longer and then she replies to them! So strange.
 
My mistake, needed to update my profile as been away, those are very old settings. No longer "following" you, in fact had you on ignore, so your mistake as well, and certainly not stalking you, as I have been by you and others for your lengthy tongue lashings. No interest in what you have to say to me really, as I'm interested only in truth and accuracy, and don't find much of either in what you say to me, but I know its because you are ex-jw and I'm not, and you draw conclusions and make assumptions based upon your narrow and prejudice viewpoints, but thanks anyway. I know where you're coming from, that's all I need to know, and I'm not interested in going there, or in following you, but thanks anyway.

So, Bye Bye. I actually have a very happy life outside of whatever this is.🏰

God bless you all. I'll pray for you.

Seek Jehovah all you meek ones of the earth.

I noticed that too. It is the price on has to pay if one seeks attention. They need to address whatever that is, but the more one‘s life has become one of anger, the convoluted way out becomes so difficult to find. Back in the days of my youth, just starting out in my career, I met a psychiatrist and we had a long discussion about recovery from social issues of deprivation both mental and physical. One of his remedies for the peace of mind, was/is one that is often discussed here - that of natural remedies found in nature. He pointed to a magnificent Beech tree and suggested I sit under it, lean against it and feel it’s strength. I have been “hugging” trees now for decades. As ‘they’ say, it’s funny but true. A tree is actually a miracle in design. The strength and process of respiration can draw water up hundreds of feet upwards through the phloem. If one were to try sucking up water through a pipe from a bucket under their bedroom window, the strength needed to do so would be phenomenal - yet a tree can draw up water hundreds of feet. The logistics in creation are a wonder to behold and so are their hidden strengths that we can benefit from - yet as we see, we are often our own worst enemy.
 
You have a great imagination to think that I seek, or somehow need, your attention. I do not. I'd much prefer that you use your ignore button. Is it broken?

I actually have a wonderful happy spiritual life outside of this often negative-energy "hotel" and don't need ones here as a crutch or support for my faith.

I just checked back to see if anything had changed here, and saw another new JW member being treated poorly for no good or obvious reason. A member for less that one day. They went "running for the door". Was another scapegoat needed since I left? (rhetorical, no response required)

I had to put her? on ignore. She is the only one I have done this to. I enjoy the association with 99% of everyone here and am blessed with the spiritual content. She comes along with that attitude and it makes me sick. As Kim stated, I don't want to associate with her. She is not upbuilding. Hope not to offend anyone.
 
Actually, I do feel I am doing what is right. They cannot hurt me even if they do slander me. We will all render an account to God and I just hope they consider how they will render their account to him. They did not dispute a single thing in the letter but a general, “we just don’t agree with your letter.”. Yes, we are both prepared to be df’d. You must realize that when I became one of Jehovah‘s Witnesses I lost my entire family, even my children who have all accused me of being in a cult. I honestly argued with them and I still don’t feel that I was in a cult but now it has become a cult. There were some signals during the last few years but nothing is perfect and so I made excuses. This is so blatant that I can no longer participate and support and I cannot remain silent. I do think it is now a cult, meaning following the direction of imperfect men who say they have divine direction but they do not.

If they df us it will cause a stir in the congregation because I was very active at the meetings probably until Lett’s video update. And, I have talked honestly with enough of the friends that they will know why we were df’d. So, I am resigned to letting Jehovah’s will be done.

I can tell you I am so happy now and my zeal is the same as when I first learned the truth. I am learning Robert’s explanation of prophecies and they have the “ring of truth.”. So, this is an exciting time for me. I treasure truth, good, bad or indifferent.
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
Jude 1:11‭-‬13‭
 
"Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep."
Luke 6:25

Like I said, that is the kind of cheap cheezy c...p you find everywhere on worldly forums. Sadly, though one might think this one would be different, this one sadly is no exception.
I personally know several members on this forum personally who can attest to my character. I've requested they not defend me, lest they also be attacked, which one already was, more than once. Many just no longer participate at all here, understandably.

But, no matter, mockers will mock, ridiculers will ridicule, until the meek inherit the earth and those bound for the abodes above go home. Ps. 37:9-11 It's not far off now, not far off at all.

The earth is ripe for the harvest, you can see it, you can feel it in the air, you can smell it, like the newly sprouted grass. Psalm 92:7 KJV
Even Satan quoted from the scriptures to try and tempt Jesus, although he misapplied them….he knew the scriptures well.
 
What kind of sick person continues to come back to a forum just to complain about how terrible the forum is? If I don’t like a forum, and I have experienced that with JWTalk, I quit the forum and don’t return. This is called ”nursing” a grudge. Quite a word picture. Please find a forum you’re comfortable with, for all of our sakes.
@Driven

I don’t believe she wants to. Maybe she’d rather go around and “taunt” people on different forums, or just this one.
 
Nothing new under the sun. People still twist words and their intent.
People accused Jesus of every falsehood they could think of, made false assumptions, false baseless accusations, imputed bad motives, and blasphemed him. That is what unrighteous judgement is. There is nothing new under the sun as far as people are concerned. They are exactly the same, if not far worse, than they were some 2,000 years ago. It's the same old song and dance, just on instant replay, now on a far grander scale of some 8 billion.

I think one big problem people have is that don't actually read. You can clearly see he didn't actually read what I wrote in his reply, because his reply did not reflect in any way, what I actually wrote.
A lot of people read without comprehending, only doing so they can reply. I always re-read comments that trigger me and also re-read my own comments so I can pull out anything I may say that triggers them. It's very difficult, as I've unintentionally had an attacking writing style in the past.
 
Just in case anyone was wondering its Que Sera Sera. Just felt the need to clear that up. The teacher in me 🤓
Correction made, thank you.

As far as peace of mind, rather than looking to this world's philosophies of men, psychiatry, psycoanalyisis, etc, which I used to study prior to learning the truth, the Bible tells us how to truly have the peace of God. Phil. 4:6, 7. It's the method that I've found to work, but that's just simple-minded me.

@BibleStudent

And your point is??? As if we didn’t know what you’re trying to imply. 😏
