God's People
by Frenchy ingods people.
this is in response to a question asked by martini on the thread reflections, page 4. for those who have not read it, the question is: is it true that the israelites were historically jehovah's chosen people...the israelites make the wts with all it's "warts" look like saints... or are we to deduce from this that jehovah is the kind of god that could accept and work with such wayward people today as he did in the past?
my response was, in a nutshell: yes, the israelites were gods chosen people.

by TR init seems that most on this forum are deep thinkers.
there is much agonizing over the experiences each one has had.
there was trauma, crisis' of conscience, terrible things seen and done.

Df-ing dilemmas
by Pathofthorns ini have often wondered if the society would ever actively seek out ones who were disfellowshipped for a past policy that was reversed.
obviously the line probably is the individual wasn't submissive, or was "running ahead of the slave" so it doesn't matter.. but if a teaching is reversed, it clearly is an admission that the prior one was a "command of men" not one of god.
to have disfellowshipped someone over something beyond what is stated in scripture appears to be clearly wrong, and would seem to carry a heavy responsibility upon those who basically handed a god-fearing person over to satan.. i find it particularly disturbing in matters such as organ transplants and certain blood fractions, where individual's only choices were disfellowshipping or death.

Just want to get past it........
by notsureofmyself ini appreciate so much of what is being said here, but frankly i just want it done with.
i don't even care if their doctrines are right or not, their conduct, their conditional love and their hypocrisy is definitely wrong.. i have given up looking for a church that has the answers, there is none.
there are no perfect churches, doctrines or people.

Who's decision is it to want 'heaven'
by Simon injust a thought.... the 144,000 with the heavenly hope were sealed in 1935 (ok, they don't push the idea openly but it's still the party line).. everyone else has an earthly hope.. just because you have a heavenly hope doesn't mean that you can't 'fall away'.
why, look at that 'no good' ray franz.... so, someone has to take their place.. now, does god make someone want a heavenly hope or does he pick someone who wanted to have a heavenly hope but was going to be disappointed.. who's choice is it...do individuals have free will over what they want.
