has it ever troubled you when you read a scripture that tells you something about jesus that the borg doesn't?.
care to make a list?.
i'll start:.
Being able to worship Jesus.
Rev 5:12,13,14b; saying with a loud voice "the lamb that is slaughtered is worthy to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing"13 'to the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory" 14 "and the elders fell down and worshipped" NWT
i think i posted the fact that i suddenly stopped attending all the meetings, field service and all, very suddenly.
not a single meeting this year.
i guess i would describe myself now as a sort of little toe guy, a liberal christian.. of course, i have had all the elder visits asking me how i am doing etc.

by forsaking being an angel and becoming a perfect man (as allegedly the angels did in Noah's day),
Its interesting that the angels could do what Jw doctrine prohibits Jesus to do. Michael/Jesus/Michael.

Yes, the Society claims that Jesus has been installed as heavenly king since 1914.
Eyeslice, with the above stated and the fact that youve attended for 50 years, did it ever occur that Jesus installed as king in 1914 is in direct conflict with Ephesians 1:20-22?
20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and everyname named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come 22 He also subjected all things inder his feet, and made him head over all things to the congregation. NWT
I took my elder study here, his response " well thats very interesting"

Gopher,
Thanks for the correct link.
sister self-rightous busy body-- always has her nose in everyone else's business.
makes a point to ask questions without really asking them like "oh we havent seen you here in a looong tiiiime" and "we miss hearing you comment at the meetings" .
brother womenizer--known for dating all the "available" sisters and dumping them .
Brother I wanna hold the crying baby. This guy would jump at the chance to hold a crying baby. I thought this was strange until I realized the motive..... get away from the stale kingdumb message.

I have to be careful of mentioning Jesus at my moms. She said of few times " you know you talk alot about Jesus, like the born agains"
Its like it hurts them to hear the title 'Lord Jesus'

"A lot of intimate letters going back and forth," Vaccaro said. "I mean, you know, there's a letter from Joe Jackson to the producers of the Victory Tour book, where he approved the photographs of his children, but he wanted their skin tones to be 20 to 30 percent lighter in the finished product. That surprised me.
"There's also a letter from Mrs. Jackson complaining to the Jehovah's Witness Fellowship, because evidently they must have expelled Michael, and you know, she's really giving them hell," Vaccaro said.
The New Jersey businessman says Michael Jackson's legal problems only increased the value of the collection. http://http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/Entertainment/Michael_Jackson_Memorabilia_040304-

i had a very interesting phone call today.
a sister (fader) called me, and told me how she and her husband (ex elder) have been thinking about me, and talking late into the night about what they could do for me.
they knew i was disfellowshipped now, and remembered the kindnesses i extended to them for many years while i was an elder.
Puter,
The org stinks from the top all the way down. " white washed tombs filled with dead bones"
i have never quite been able to put my finger on it.
there was always something in the way the watchtower presented the "passion" (although they have never called it that (?))..
if you look in the "live forever book..." you may remember the picture of the old fashioned scale in which a naked adam is on one end and christ, or a watchtower depiction of him, is on the other.
I like your style,
Its funny how "Mikey" in Watchtower-ism cannot know what we as humans are tempted in because it wasnt "Mikey" on earth it was just good ole houseboy Jesus.
Basically the Jw doesnt need Jesus' blood. Thier doctrine evades the need.
Work, work, work, work , work. All the way to paradise.
