to quit smoking after the doctrine was changed?

2007-12-03 14:38:41 · 11 answers · asked by Nina, BaC 7 in Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality

How many times I have to say that I have never been a JW...and I never will. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. That is wonderful. I do not have to talk to you JWs about Him, but i want to for the gratitude of His great mercy and love for me. He loves you guys.

I love Christmas. It is one of my favorite holidays. Sorry if we took it from pagans, but I know why I celebrate Christmas. And I like my Christmas tree vry much. So pretty, the star on the top on it.

Unsilenced lamb, they do not like to answer my questions. They just like to follow me to tell me that I should stop questioning them. But I am not going to, they must be livid because they cannot disfellowship me for my questions!! LOL My questions are not bad. They think they are, but I am just talking about their doctrines. I did not make them up if they sound silly.

I do not smoke.Never inhaled the first handsmoke into my lungs,am I a lung virgin ?
; P
However,I enjoy class of a good wine time to time

Lavender: I do not know if Unsilenced Lamb smokes, but I know she is saved. So what about concentrating saving yourself, no one else can make that decision for you.

Six months.

To say we don't answer your questions is not true. It's just that you don't choose to accept the truth. That's why you and others direct many of your questions at Jehovah's Witnesses, knowing all along that you are going to give Best Answers to those who know as little about us as you do.

You openly admit to celebrating Christmas. You also worship a trinity. Sorry but you are only fooling yourself by saying you are saved. Christmas and other holidays and beliefs are spiritually unclean. They have been borrowed from pagan sources and "Christianized" by the Catholic Church. And you say you don't follow any religion. Yeah, right. Concerning God-defiling customs and beliefs, 2 Cor. 6:17 says: "Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves," says Jehovah, ‘"and quit touching the unclean thing; “‘and I will take you in.’"

Face it, Nina. Your beliefs are so far out of line that it's almost comical. In one posting, you said: "You can give Him honor in any church that they worship and honor Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, who is also Father God."

Maybe one day you can explain how Jesus is also the Father, even though Jesus said at Matt. 24:36: "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father."

You say you don't smoke? Can the same be said about all the members of your denomination? I doubt it. Unsilenced Lamb says she does not smoke. But what is certain is that the filthy habit of smoking is NOT forbidden in the Baptist Church. So, by association, she is just as bad as they are. Yet, she calls herself saved. Do you think you will be attacking her religion in the near future?

By the way, you might want to read of what others say about the fixation of attacking a particular religion.

Many like your self have tried to discover fault with Jehovah's human beings going some time previous to the first century and failed. Gamaliel suggested that it change into unwise to intervene with the paintings of the apostles. He concluded by ability of declaring: “do no longer meddle with those adult men, yet enable them on my own; . . . in the different case, you would possibly want to perhaps be got here across combatants genuinely antagonistic to God.”—Acts 5:34-39. Hitler tried in the course of the 2d international conflict and got here off a loser. You interior a similar boat and also you too will lose, you may not win regardless of the advice of devil. * enable me spell it out for you because you suggested " blindness" the final public of those who're transforming into witnesses immediately have LEFT the church homes and denominations of that you're area of.The question is why?- because they don't forget that what they have been fed all those years isn't fact. So like l have instructed you back and back: you'll declare to adhere to Jesus or maybe say he's their personal savior- although this is Jehovah who attracts one to Jesus. If Jehovah is nonexistent on your existence- your perception is hollow from God's perspective. My evidence is got here across the following. ( (John 6:40 4) No guy can come to me except the daddy, who despatched me, attracts him; and that i will resurrect him contained in the perfect day. communicate about blindness...

Well..........if they are forced to quit a filthy, bad habit, and they do quit; good for them and most good for the quitter. That gives them guaranteed salvation. First, they helped the sinner clean their temple for the Holy Spirit to enter and also saving their life by how many more years. Maybe they can live to see Armageddon. Second, they (JW's) led the ex-smoker (now cleaner) to draw closer to JHVH God, Christ Jesus, & the Holy Spirit now can dwell in its temple. For it is written that if "YOU save one person and draw them to God Almighty, you have your eternal reward."
Hmmmmm, I don't think I did that yet; I better start concentrating on saving someone. I just thought of something. "Unsilenced Lamb, can I work on saving you?"

6 months, think about this if smoking is defiling the temple of God and a disfellowshipping offense, then why don't they put out fat people also, being obese causes more health effects than smoking, do they need me to send them some new light.

6 months before action to disfellowship is started.

has Moises actually directly answered a question? to date.

I Like this forum as well..It is too tough to be silenced in all of my personal relationships that I had with witnesses...they think that you are or were a witness, because most Christians have no clue as to what they really teach...It is not hard to find out,a nd you are a shining example of someone who educated herself to know what to say when they come to the door...I would love to be a fly on that wall!


I don't smoke, and I am already saved, best focus on your own salvation. Thanx anyway.

Six months is the right answer. It must have sucked to be baptized and then to learn that you cannot qualify to be one of saved if you smoked. That is why it is dangerous to believe in salvation by works religions.

im ashamed....I smoke and I know in my heart God told me not to. I believe in John 16...but i also believe if you dont obey His commandments you will not be saved because why would He want another satan in heaven who wants to live their own life... Greatest commandment to love your neighbor AS YOURSELF..Smoking is bad

Watchtower who? The only one that matters is Jesus Christ. No matter what. It matters not what or how anyone one else does whatever.

Your Fascination & Obsession with The Watchtower Society leads me to think that you were either Disfellowshipped because of some Immoral behavior, be it Smoking or other. Let it go. Move On. Stop being a Pawn of Him who keeps transforming himself into an Angel of Light... Nina.

Nina...... why do you still celebrate Christmas? all people know is a pagan custom but you still do it. Why JWs can increase in knowledge and apllied what they learn is incorrect while you are stuck in the same pagan custom?

Unsilenced: several people here saw when you make the mistake and we realize that you were LYING....... ha ha ha ha I was so happy to see that comment...ha ha ha ha
