Just found a wonderful "non denomenational" church where I felt the prescence of GOD, truly. I went there by accident and have not been able to turn away, since. Nice to see you all, Mrs Jones, Sylvia. No internet access, at the library, now. Good to see a familliar face or two.

Interesting Local Needs Talk: Don't Invite Studies To "Our" Get Togethers

by minimus in

i heard that the most recent local needs talk was regarding the evils of having non witnesses at "our" gatherings.

since there's nothing really for "us" to talk to "them" about, and since "their" conversation will not involve anything to do with "the truth", we should guard against "worldly" association.

it appears that the cult wants their members totally removed from anyone not a witness.

...not to mention the break dancing and rap music, oyvey!!!

Let's Answer Brother Wallen

by metatron in

brother wallen condemns "apostates" and says they have nothing to offer, no message at all.

what can we say in reply to his comments?.

first, brother wallen, you don't seem to understand why we are angry at the watchtower society.. for most of us, the reason is simple: we have been cheated, conned, deceived, lied to.

prophecor

It's a painful thing when an organisation refuses to own up when it's wrong.

Herbert W. Armstrong - memories

by Jim_TX in

an ad that appears when viewing certain pages on the jwd web site refer to herbert w. armstrong - and his religion.. i remember this fella... not personally - but through the radio - and his preaching that he used to do on the air.. i remember tuning in a radio station - far far away (when i was a kid) - in del rio, tx (or perhaps across the border in mexico - xerf?).

he would get air time, and then preach - for what seemed like hours - although, i'm sure that it was only a 30 minute spot - or perhaps an hour-long spot of air-time.. i even seem to remember telling my mom at the time how much he sounded like jehovah's witnesses - in what he was preaching about.. i also remember my mom defending the jws - saying - essentially - that herbert armstrong was a kook.

armstrong had his own set of literature... i really think that he was a 'subscriber' to jw literature... and probably stole many ideas from the watchtowers... or other publications that he could get his hands on.. or... perhaps it's the other way... perhaps the jws 'borrowed' from his literature.. in any case... it brings back memories.. regards,.

Hi Jim Tex. I am a subscriber to much of his literature, magazines, books and pamphlets. His ideas are slightly to the absolute right of Jehovah's Witness, though I've been impressed with the teachings. He was branded an apostate by leaders within his own Church. They dismissed much of his teachings as heresy, after he died, and did everything in thier power possible to erase all thoughts, speech from the past and make him a non entity, in church theology and doctrine. Reminds me of what Franz went thru, only the other way around. I at least credit thier organisation for trying to console thier congregants, when they found themselves to wrong. Not like ours, who won't admit to anything. We're a bunch of Cover Artist.

Time went about to prove that he might not have been the Looney Tune that leaders within the church tried to brand him as being. His teaching have been resurfaced, seemingly without being edited, as is so often done in our organisation. There appears to be a resugence of belief in the things he was trying to preach to the congregations. The attempt to silence him has been stopped, even though, posthumously.

The information he presented, and the way in which he does, is quite remarkable. There are books of his; the greatest one, Mystery of the Ages, can be requested at no charge, or you can download a copy of it directly to your computer. Most of the literature is available for immediate reading, or, you can request whatever information to be sent, without cost, to your home. His ideas may seem a little radical at first, but he has a keen insight into the solving of the worlds problems, political ills, that are just not for the ordinary thinker. You may find yourself, a little more than just amazed. I was.
