.
to all christians, or others, is there any proof of the promised messiah being jesus of nazareth and if so, how can you be sure if he existed?
.
YEP, I READ ALL OF THE COMMENTS AND CHALLENGES AND THE WELL RESEARCHED REPLIES.NOW I FIND MYSELF JUST AS CONFUSED AND CONFLICTED ABOUT ALL THIS, AS I WAS AT THE START.
THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT ALL THESE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND TEACHINGS ARE ALL ABOUT.
I KEEP HOPING THAT GOD/JESUS WILL DO A REVALATION ON ME.
SOME SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE THAT WILL GIVE ME THE ANSWERS AND ALL I GET IS ANOTHER GOD DAMNED HEADACHE.

have you ever been called before one?
were you ever on one?
what happened???
Sword:
In extreme and unusual cases as such, I turned over control to Jesus, for he is the head of the congregations.
Just how exactly did you do this Sword? Secondly is not the prayers that are prayed b4 the meeting supposed to invite Jesus presence into the meeting? Thirdly, why would the holy spirit point the elders to a scripture instead of telling them the right decision to make. If the spirits can vulcan mind meld a scripture into the elders head to give them a correct decision from why not simply lead them to an understanding of to df or not to df.

What!!!! Is there another Farkel in the house?
One of them is enough Devils.
does anyone know who did the research and wrote the "appendix to chapter 14" in the book, let your kingdom come?.
this is the only place where the wts tried to refute the research coj published in his book, the gentile times reconsidered.. coj's book is not mentioned directly in the appendix!
obvioiusly, as the wt would prefer that people not even know coj's book exists!.
I tend to agree with Leolaia. Thanks for posting your work and conclusions.

Very interesting Steve!
Thanks for posting and letting us in on what goes on behind closed doors. It is truly amazing what these elders will do in the name of the Org/God. I admire you for still saying they are people you still like after how they treated you guys. You have a truly admirable attitude. If it comes to this same end for me and mine I hope I will find it in me to have the same disposition as you and hold no grudges.

Interesting articles!
i'd vote for revelation since every nutcase who ever came down the pike has tackled it verse for verse and applied it to the time in which he was living.
ever notice that?
no matter what decade or century, people reading the bible always think that it applies to their time.
Scholar,You must be entertaining at parties!
Pretty blonde: "Hi, my name's Erica, what's yours?"
Scholar: "I'm Scholar, BA, MA, Studies in Religion. What do you think about the seventy years of Jeremiah?"
Pretty blonde: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
And God says to himself " What the heck was I thinking when I inspired Jeremiah to write that crap, I shoulda known them stupid humans I made woulda messed it and up and never figured out what the heck I meant by that shit. Oh well, its been fun watching them idiots argue about it and getting their panties all in a bunch over it."
