Karen look
Rom 1:18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry. Luke 3:7 (NIV) John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?" Zeph 1:14-15,18 (NIV) "The great day of the Lord is near--near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the Lord will be bitter... That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish... In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth." John 3:36 (NIV) "Whoever puts his faith in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see that life, for God's wrath remains on him." Eph 5:6 (Jer) Do not let anyone deceive you with empty arguments: it is for this loose living that God's wrath comes down on those who rebel against him. Make sure you are not included with them. There is more on God's wrath lots more and it should serve as a warning God punishes sin and those who reject His son . |

And Gods wrath comes down on them not because of God, but because of themselves. They blame God for being an angry God but in reality he is a loving God giving them every chance in the world to live according to his will. |

Judged: 2 1 1 Be honest for a change EE! The only reason you brought it up was because you were trying to make Baptists look bad! Nobody deserves to be beat, not even you! |
God corrects those he loves but that is very different from the day he pours out his wrath .God's day of wrath is not to correct to try and save it is to punish sin and his enemies . God sent His son to die for us so that by accepting that we can avoid His wrath I mean he did all he could for us out of love , yet , if we reject that we then line ourselves up for God's wrath it will not be pretty and it will contain no mercy it will be strictly to punish sin and those who have rejected God's son .God showed his love and mercy at Calvery when JESUS DIED FOR US , we can accept that gift of love or reject it , our choice , with our choices comes consequences and those God has spelled out eternal life with God in his new heaven and new earth or eternal damnation in a place called the lake of fire or the second death we pick God doesn't pick it is our choice where we end up not God's .God desires no man to suffer damnation that is why he sent Jesus and why Jesus came . |

Karen has cheapened that expression so much that it is meaningless when she says it. She even stated that she says it because she thinks we don't like for her to say it. As you and I well know, the fact is that Jesus loved the world of mankind in general so much that he gave his life so that everyone actually exercising faith in him could be saved. Salvation does not come to individuals of mankind automatically through Jesus' sacrifice. Many of mankind will exercise genuine faith in Jesus, not just lip service. It will be manifest in their obedience to him and his commands. Jesus loves those who obey his commands, all of them. *** (John 15:8-10) 8 My Father is glorified in this, that YOU keep bearing much fruit and prove yourselves my disciples. 9 Just as the Father has loved me and I have loved YOU, remain in my love. 10 If YOU observe my commandments, YOU will remain in my love, just as I have observed the commandments of the Father and remain in his love. . . *** (John 15:12-14) 12 This is my commandment, that YOU love one another just as I have loved YOU. 13 No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul in behalf of his friends. 14 YOU are my friends if YOU do what I am commanding YOU. |

Judged: 1 1 1 Then will you explain to me why you will never hear a witness say those words to anyone? All my many years as a witness, never once did I ever hear a witness tell someone that, and we should remind people of it every chance we get. He loved us so much that he took on OUR sins and died for US. ALL OF US, all of us sinners. And yes, although you don't like it, he died for me, Pat, Michelle, RHW, Pam, dee, unlisted, and all the others here you all constantly call names. We are included in that all of us, as are all of you. The difference is what we do with that information, do we give credit to him for saving us, or do we give credit to a religion or organization? I do believe the bible says to give it to Jesus Christ. I will continue to tell her that Jesus loves her rather than respond to her comments, hopefully one day it will hit her that Jesus does really love her and wants her to come to him for salvation. Before anyone says anything, I did leave, I came back to see what was going on while waiting for a phone call from the Pastor .:) |

There's nothing wrong in what I said. Karen blamed the elders for her Mom for staying in an abusive marriage and involving her kids. We don't know if Topsy's wife's situation is like Karen and her mother. Since Topsy's wife has no elders to blame then I'm sure she will protect her kids if need be. Karen, by her own words, Mom didn't. |

Yes, she has cheapened it. She thinks if she says it enough it will score her some points. Jesus never did that and he wouldn't want her to cheapen his name or his love for mankind. |
Carolyn/EE I would much rather hear Karens "Jesus Loves You" ANYDAY over you MOCKING GOD and his SON by the EVIL lies you speak out of your ABUSIVE Wrinkled LIPS... You make a MOCKERY out of God and his SON on a daily basis and you spew out such evilness its sickening and pathetic.. Karen and Pat are wonderful Christian women with MORALS unlike you evil one.. |

I never said she didn't protect us and it was so wrong of you to even say those words to make my mother look bad. These things usually happened behind closed doors when we were young. As we got older they usually happened when we were gone, but the one time I did try to step in and got hit myself, my mother did tell me to back out of it. For you to say my mother would not have protected us was wrong of you. She loved us more than life itself and would have died for us. I know Topsys wife loves her children that way as well. A wife abuse situation is horrible no matter who is involved in it, but to have MEN tell you to remain and be the "good little wife" for a religion is so WRONG. I hope you are never in a situation like this to find out how it is really handled if you go to an Elder. Yes I blame the Elders and always will, if it had been a Priest or Pastor who had told her to stay, I would blame them as well. There is no reason a woman should remain in a abusive relationship, as they often lead to death. The Elders should have told her to get out of that abusive relationship and never look back. |

I cannot believe you actually said that, how in the world does it cheapen anyone to tell them that Jesus loves them. That is the saddest thing I have ever heard in my life. Yes, I know it upsets witnesses to hear those words, and you know thats true, but it will not stop me from telling her and praying that one day it sinks in and she will realize what he did for her with that love. It is never cheapening his name to tell anyone that Jesus loves them. You yourself should realize how wrong that is of you to say. It does show his love for mankind when we tell o9thers that, he is not here right now so we must tell people. Some people do not even realize what he did for them. Its also a good way to start a conversation about what he did for all of us. I don't think it is going to score me anything, but I do know that Jesus loves me and you and everyone else on this earth. Instead of telling people that I must come to an organization or religion to be saved, I will tell them that Jesus loves them so much, that he died so that they could have eternal life. Which one do you find in the bible?:) Jesus loves you. |

It is certainly sad that they would not want to hear that Jesus loves them. The thing Jesus expressed most while on this earth was how we are to love one another. I feel very sorry for them. |

Judged: 1 1 My way of dealing with it was to shut it out. I remember nothing of my younger years..only what my siblings have filled in, so their memories have become mine..so to say. My father is still alive and has never left the JW religion...I really don't know him. I have visited him a few times over the years but my step dad is the one who walked me down the aisle and is grandpa to my children. I personally think a child can never grow up to respect a father who beat their mother...I think down deep inside the father knows he lost all rights to expect anything from the children who lived through such hell. |

Judged: 1 1 1 The elders would not encourage an abused spouse to stay with their mate. Separation for a time, however long or short? Yes. They do discourage divorce if no adultery is involved. |
|
Back in the day they did TPMP. I have no idea how they handle spousal abuse now but they certainly use to blame the abuse on the women back when it was happening to my mother. |
