o timothy, guard what is laid up in trust with you, turning away from the empty speeches that violate what is holy and from the contradictions of the falsely called knowledge.
21 for making a show of such [knowledge] some have deviated from the faith.
2 timothy 3:1-13 .
With one pieve of wood they warm themselves, with the other they print an abundance of literature which they worship as god.
Good one ! Don't throw any of that literature away! Let it pile up in your basements and closets, let it pile up to the heavens.
i have just written the following (long) article.
i would appreciate comments and suggestions on things i can add or subtract.. .
baptism as one of jehovahs witnesses is a significant step as it is a life time commitment to the watchtower society.
I like it,
but then I think these questions could cause independent thinking and that's not good so this is bad.
I thought I remembered that the JW,s believed that when the nation of Israel was being set up after WWII it was the start of Gods kingdom on earth, but then because of the way the Jewish nation acted with regard to the military and other things JW,s realized it wasn't?????????
For some reason I remember sitting at a book study and hearing it was in the 1900's, and the reason that they stopped believing this was because Israel was using a military and not just trusting in Jehovah.
??
i never recieved any answers from the mighty ones regarding why they were called the faithful and dscret slaves.
and if their mission was to give out food to the naive mindless flock , then why was i starving for answers?
soon i gave up when mom continually said to keep to my lessons in the wt and stop questioning jehopes orderly organization..
Discreet - careful about what one says or does: prudent. cautious with ones judgement.
This they are not. one example that they even admit to is the whole 1914 thing how they were over anxious and expecting the wrong thing at the right time and all that.
My opinion is that if you don't know something, be discreet and keep your mouth shut. Don't influence thousands of people to follow your whims.
It always amazes me how everything in the bible relates to the WTS and FDS.
Who would have known that recorded history over thousands of years in the bible would all be linked to brooklyn in the 20 century.
AMAZING!!!
two nights ago i got fed up and decided to e-mail my mother with some concerns.
it was nice to see you as well mother, and i love you too!
i like your car, please be safe when you drive it.
Gary,
I haven't read any of those books, but am now thinking about it.
Kind of a misnomer to call them lost books though.
The "lost books" were never lost. They were known by the Jews in Old Testament times and the Christians of the New Testament times and were never considered scripture. They weren't lost nor were they removed. They were never in the Bible in the first place.

Once someone has changed your messy diaper you can never be their teacher. At least that's been my personal experience.
Hey Gary,
I wonder if Mary ever used this line on Jesus .
I wonder if jesus ever had a messy diaper ?
