    Thanks Steve2,

    As I've said before, there is a reason Simon has you as one of the wardens. You do an excellent job. I am somewhat of a challenge, and I know my toes are routinely across the line. It's kinda sorta amazing you all haven't given me the boot already.

    I've tried to change. Really, I have. I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way.

    fink, thats hilarious .lmao

    but seriously, how on earth is the members of any cong supposed to interpret such talk going on about people who think they are 'anointed' partaking , as being mentally unstable? everyone doing that will be suspect.

    that , [fortunately] undermines anyone's claim of being a chosen one.

    this can also make some Jws question where elders get off assuming such things. is it for them to judge?

    and naturally, those ones who 'think' [suddenly] they are above everyone else, are going to have less and less friends, as I for one would avoid them like a plague.

    now, in that particular cong mentioned , with the several 'women' claiming that, there will of course be quite a stir, and after all, there are no scriptures to back up that women are of the 144,000.

    a hinge comeeth loose, lol

    Hey DJS, you flatter me. I am not a warden. I think you're also a tad harsh in the way you characterize yourself. I find myself in agreement with you more often than not.

    Oh I agree with diogen, they will set up an official criteria and vet those claiming to be annointed.

    The Borg is really going to have to do something here the way the number of partakers keeps ever increasing.

    Hmmm...so those that partake in the average cong are classed as "possibly mentally unstable"...

    So what about those in Brooklyn that partake?

    Have you missed the monthly videos?

    If you watch them, it will be obvious that at least some of those in Brooklyn are "mentally unstable".
