.

does god have a true church on the earth today?yes,and i will reveal it.it is the free will baptist church,which is true in every sense.they preach jesus,they study god's word correctly and rightly divide the word of truth.they are not led by a distant leader,they are led by their local leader chosen by god.if the sign out front doesn't say free will baptist then you are in the wrong church.look for that sign,and then you've found the right church.

Do U Drive @ 55?

1. jw
2. friends
who among us here, when on the freeway does the standard speed of 55mph.

i'd like to say that i'm a law abiding citizen, however......

it's a wonderful thing that many folks wish to follow the rules of the road but you people who don't keep it rolling with the rest of the crowd at 65-70mph are risking a catastrophe.

1. watchtower
2. bible
in your time as jws did you ever meet any of the annointed?

did they have good christian personalities and what did they think of the wts and its governing body ?

i met one and he was very unhappy with the way the gb treated him and generally the way they run this society, he told me he wrote them two letters containing a long list of complaints with full scriptural support but he was ignored, first letter got a reply amounting to "no need to write to us" the second one no reply at all.
