  Also, he doesn't actually say he was offered a scholarship. He just asks the question, "Would I accept a scholarship?" and then blah blah blah I left school and started pioneering.

  WTS is a master of asking a question (so that years later, it is proved as BS, and they can say "We never said that.) as a means of manipulation.

  A few samples are:

  Did Elijah also feel a bit hesitant about delegating some of his responsibilities, sharing his privileges, or someday being replaced? We cannot say;
  
  How far east did early Christian evangelizers go? We cannot say for sure, since the Bible does not comment on this. However,
  
  Was God referring to the faithful angels? We cannot say definitely. However,

  Hey kids!

  Want to play a fun game?
  

  Who can find where my pants are the tightest?

  You are so damn lucky.

  Take a deep breath - every day.

  Keep this special bond going with your son.

  Have you read any of Hassan's books?

  Well, I asked a question and his answer blew me away

  by Lost his mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first time, been lurking for years, but i asked my husband who has been studying for 20 plus years if he has ever questioned those that were "teaching" him.

  blew my mind.

  i ask him all the questions that you have asked yourself, but he will not ask them.

  I agree with you. It is a lie for the Watchtower Society to claim that "Jesus Christ is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind." 1 Timothy 2:5, 6 makes it clear: Jesus is our mediator.....Brother Jeramy

  Yes, it is a lie.

  But, this is done to test our loyalty to Jehovah "whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

  @rebelfighter: Your ex-BF JW Elder was a totally deceitful hypocrite. Here he is an Elder, and secretly dating a "Worldly" woman? He could have been disfellowshipped (excommunicated) by the other Elders just for that!!!

  You may have missed her other posts that, said elder, somehow, over 5 years, forgot to mention that, oh, BTW, I AM F***ING MARRIED!

  Why I remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Brother Jeramy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  allow me to begin with a clarification: when i say i am one of jehovah's witnesses, i don't mean that i am an advocate of the watchtower society or a devotee of some of its more controversial false teachings.

  i mean that i am a christian, a disciple of jesus christ dedicated to jehovah god, and who remains in union with my brothers and sisters who make up the family of faith that globally refers to itself as jehovah's witnesses.

  some totally understand the distinction between the family of brothers and sisters and the corporate organization known as the watchtower society (wts).

  17 Events on the world scene clearly indicate
  that Bible prophecy is now being
  fulfilled and that the end of this wicked
  system of things is imminent.
  

  .
  

  Imminent. Probably the most overused work in the WT lexicon.

  Yup, not just soon, but imminent.

  Oh, and WT Dec 1, 1952

  . But now, by occurrence of every detail of the great sign Jesus gave, we know that we face the imminent end of the present world system.

  Any Letterman Fans

  not many shows left.. was a fan from his nbc days when he had a lot of innovation.. no question, he has a quick mind, which to me, is a key to comedy.. a distinct memory was awakening my poor pre-teen daughter when dave was back on the air after his heart surgery.. no matter what, is a changing of the guard (if only the wt could do the same)..

  Julia's comments also reflect my feelings.

  The old coinage is also, of all things, (King James) biblical, that is, not suffer fools gladly.

  When Dave hosted a moron, he never pretended that they were anything but.
