District Assembly talks about apostates............
by integ indistrict assembly 5/24/03 3:40 pm "beware of the voice of strangers".. 1) counterfeit words: beware of those using "counterfeit words".
2) flirting: young ones need to avoid being lured into relationships with un-believers.. 3) you trust your christian parents...listen to them.
you also trust those taking the lead among you..such as elders.

Bible Student's C.T Russell gave 'organisation' the thumbs down!
by be wise inc. t. russell was against organizing his own religion, or at least he said so (see the watchtower, 1895 p.216; also 1894 p.384 & 1893 p.266).
"the endeavor to compel all men to think alike on all subjects, culminated in the great apostasy and the development of the great papal system, and thereby the gospel, the one faith that paul and the other apostles set forth, was lost - buried under the mass of uninspired decrees of popes and councils.
the unity of the early church, based upon the simple gospel and bound only by love, gave place to the bondage of the church of rome...each new reform movement (like protestantism) has made the failure of attempting to make a creed just large enough for its prime movers.

What is the 'hidden wisdom', the 'deep things of God' mentioned in 1 Cor 2
by WalkTall inwhile sitting at the meeting today i was thinking about how the wt simplistically compartmentalizes the bible.
everything is tied up in neat little packages.
it made me think that this is the way you would teach a kindergartner about the bible.
