THE APOSTACY GAME anyone can play
by Terry inif you change religions by changing your mind and moving on to something "better", then, technically you are an apostate.. consequently, unless you are born a jw you have to abandon another religion to become a jw.
so, being an apostate is a good thing if you abandon some other religion; but, if you abandon the jw's you are bad.. martin luther abandoned catholicism.
he was an apostate.

MOSES AND THE COPPER SERPENT......mysterious!
by Terry inisn't it odd; even mysterious that christians think jesus could be represented by a serpent?
numbers 21:8 and the lord said unto moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
21:9 and moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

LIGHTNING BOLT from Gawd! Paul's turnaround?
by Terry inlast night in bed listening to the terrible electric storm that raged outside i was thinking of a local football player who had been struck by lightning while jogging on the school track.
i then had what they call an epiphany.. it became clear to me that, perhaps, paul had been struck by lightning on the road to damascus and partially blinded and perhaps sustained a permanent infirmity.. further, being struck by lightning would be taken as a sign from god that he needed to reassess his course in life.
he was a thug doing enforcement for the high priest against the upstart christian sect.

by Terry inmy weekly conversations with my old friend, johnny, who was responsible for bringing me into the watchtower society, have proved to be a herculean task.

i've learned to identify his evasions as such and prepare myself mentally to deal with them.. what evasions have you encountered?.
