Thank you all for the welcome.
You know, maybe have a round-table discussion with us on this forum, or something like that.
I think the GB does have discussions winthin the body and also they take into consideration letters from the field, that is from District and Circuit Overseers. I doubt they will ever come to discuss Witness issues in this forum Six.
Are you sure you can handle coming here or are you going to use your spider sense to ward off apostate reasoning?
sleepy, that's a funny one.
You say that people "were stumbled by man", when at the same time these men are part of "god's visible organization on earth". You can't have it both ways - God's visible organization on earth composed of men, and people being hurt, not by god's organization, but a man.
Well, let's put it this way. According to the Bible, Satan was once an angel and part of Jehovah's invisible organization in heaven. Yet, he did stumble Adam and Eve. Although Jehovah can control everything and everyone, he chooses not to. In today's organization here on earth, men inside the religion cause others to stumble. Jesus gave warning about this happening in the last days.
How could I conscientiously remain associated with an organization that is dishonest?
Alan thanks for your welcome and I understand your decision. Is it not true that sometimes as human beings we look too much into human error and attribute that error to God? Do you still believe in the Bible and that Jehovah is the one true God Almighty?
Is your signature from "As Good As it Gets" with Jack Nicholson?
You got it right, Francois. That is a beautiful movie. I enjoyed it very much, one of my favorites.
When I was a kid, I loved Spiderman, and I am looking forward to the new flick. I hope it's as good as the actual comic and the cartoons that used to air.
I do too, DB. From the previews it's going to be very good. According to their website, it comes out May 3rd, but I think only in the USA.
TS, thanks for your comments and I will keep your thoughts in mind as I post in this forum.
Why don't you tell the elders in you congregation that you are visiting this board and see what they say.
I think I would get some serious counseling LOL. I do know the dangers of the internet, being spritual and even physically. Unfortunately the internet is also being used to distribute filthy material such as porn and hatred.
if you are truly looking for honest discourse you may be in for a rude awakening.
I think I can handle rude awakenings. I used to be a devout Catholic and then I got a "rude awakening" from a friend that was Pentecostal. They tought me many things that was wrong with the Catholic faith. I handled that one o.k. and abandoned the church. Then I received the visit of two regular pioneers at my door. I received a "rude awakening" on many false doctrines that are taught by Pentecostals. I was able to handle that one also. Now I am a Witness and have always enjoyed the study of God's word.
