    Matthew9969 got a reaction from Queen Esther in Why does Jehovah God forbid tattoos?   
    I have a tattoo of Michael the arc angel. I got to cover up a demon tattoo I got way back in the day b4 coming to Christ. I believe God is happier with me having a tattoo that honors Him rather than disrespects Him.

    Matthew9969 reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Do Demons Live in Vases, Books and other Articles?   
    Ever notice that demon possessed objects are always discovered by Sisters from stuff at a yard sale?
    They are NEVER discovered by men buying a used car at a car auction sale.
    I mean ... if you buy a used car and it has no demons, just stop making the payments ... and it will get  ... *coff* .... repossessed!

    Matthew9969 got a reaction from JW Insider in  Do you think it is ok to discipline children at the Kingdom Hall?   
    I myself was taken into the back hall a few times and was given a swipe or 10 on the rear end for not sitting still. I have witnessed children as young as 2 years old being spanked right there in front of everyone to sit still. Spanking is not child abuse, but there are reasons to spank, and spanking a child to sit still through a 2 hour boring meeting geared towards adults is not one of them for sure. Parents who are willing to do this are more than likely dishing out more sever punishment at home where no one can see.

    The Jehovah's Witnesses have their own unique writing style and verbiage, this article does seem to have been written by a Jehovah's witness, and I have seen dozens of misrepresentations and out of proportion articles in the past several years to take this article seriously.

    Matthew9969 got a reaction from Gnosis Pithos in Is it ok to boast?   
    The WTBTS on a regular basis boast of how many of them there are, how many hours they work, how they are the only ones to do this or that. They really really like to boast of themselves, even speak more of themselves and their governing body than Jehovah or Jesus. Is this ok according to the bible?
    James 4:16 - But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

    Jeremiah 9:23 - Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:

    Proverbs 27:2 - Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

    2 Timothy 3:1-5 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.   (Read More...)

    Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

    1 Corinthians 4:7 - For who maketh thee to differ [from another]? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive [it], why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received [it]?

    2 Corinthians 11:30 - If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

    Psalms 94:4 - [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

    2 Corinthians 10:12-18 - For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.   (Read More...)

    Ephesians 2:9 - Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:   (Read More...)

    James 3:5 - Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

    James 4:13-16 - Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:   (Read More...)

    Proverbs 25:14 - Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind without rain.

    I have seen that as well, some parents use Sunday school as a babysitter, they probably also use the television set as a babysitter as well, and that is wrong, it's very obvious the parents are not interested in teaching their children about Jesus. The word 'Sunday School' is such an antiquated word, I and the church I am associated with prefer the term 'children's ministry'. and this is why....here is an example...why do schools have different learning levels? why don't they just send a 5 or 6 year old to college right away to learn?
