ok guys and gals, i (being the assistant to the magazine counter) have acquired the newest okm.. i have uploaded it to imagevenue.com: here.
hopefully that works!.
by the way drew, your translation was very close.
Here is my answer to refute all of this:
another one:
Think of their recent articles on the fds and the rf regarding Holy Spirit, they state the non-annointed can have the same amount or more Holy Spirit operating on them.
watchtower says you have it but you can't use it.
Gotta say, they got balls for telling that Holy Spirit how to operate.LOL
does your conscience torment you knowing that you are misleading the flock of god as you continue teaching them the heresies of the watchtower society?.
why are you staying in the organization and posting here at the same time?.
do you really believe that you can help your families to reject the watchtower society while remaining an elder and visibly appearing to support their lies and false teachings?.
Active Elders who post on JWD
As long as they do not produce any new converts,
I say more power to them.
changeling another thought;
fading is similar to staying in (in whatever capacity),
fading gives hope to family and friends that
you are just weak right now and you'll be back.
Makes the dub think Satan sure is strong we better try harder.
Look how he almost got changeling !!!!!
ps I am also faded, 10 years now.
i knew several that got df'd for drunkenness but never anyone for gluttony.
as far as i can remember, in the bible there weren't categories or various levels of sin; and both these are mentioned as sinful.
last i looked, there were an awful lot of very obese witnesses in the congs.
I say disfellowship em all, those who do not treat their body as God's temple.
The only way out of getting disfellowshipped is with a doctors excuse!
Anybody know the going rate to bribe a doctor?
it seems to me that one thing jws have got wrong is their view on christs resurrection, resurrection of humans,and the whole soul/spirit debate.
consider 1st the resurrection of christ:.
1. jesus said he would raise up the temple of his body...not spirit, after 3 days.
I never liked their explanation for Matthew 22:31,32 either,
As regards the ressurection of the dead,did you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying I am the God of Abraham and the God of Issac and the God of Jacob? He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living.
I think "christendoms" explanation of this is much easier to swallow.
JW elder on stage giving talk " brothers and sisters there is no life after death, there is NO life after death.
It is all double talk and pisses me off.
maybe i'm making more of this that i should but i just "stumbled" .

I can' wait to see the 2014 armageddon centenial edition.
Oh wait, I meant the 2014 end of the gentile times centenial edition.
Of course that light could change by then to.
yesterday, thursday, july 26, 2007, a conversation with a street witnessor (isn't that what you would call someone involved in street witnessing?
) got joined by a walk-up elder turned into a great opportunity to witness to several bystanders (who even joined in the conversation).. i began by declining to accept the offer from the elderly woman who held up a "what does god require of us?
i said, "but, verne, you aren't going to the bible.
Thanks for sharing the experience.
Encourages me to speak up when oppurtunity knocks.
No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Way to follow da main man.
i've never seen this discussed on this site but in cases where a witness is encouraged to die rather.
than accept blood, what does their will say?.
what i'm getting at is the thought that , if a person intends to leave property to the watchtower,.
Interesting point, also what about life insurance could refusing blood to save your life be thought of as suicide, thereby voiding your life insurance policy?
actually, i didn't see any member of the gb on the way to work, either dead or alive.. what i do see on the way to work is this: if i look over to my left, i see the big, beautiful, pacific ocean.
on my way home, when i look over to my right, i see the big, beautiful, pacific ocean.
so while the rest of you are dodging deer, and gagging on diesel exhaust, i'm breathing-in the fine salt-air.. just thought you might like to know.
I thought u seen Dan Akroyd.
One of the Ghost Busters.
especially about the bible??
why would jws rather argue and argue instead of admitting defeat and wrongdoing?
If you can get a jayw to admit an error,
there's is always the excuse of well, the gb and elders are imperfect they just didn't fully understand at that time.
Jehovah's signal to the one channel of communication on earth was scrammbled by the devil.
I say, the gb should get rid of direct tv and use cable tv.
i know several dubs who are contractors doing various jobs.. what irritates me is i think half of these contractors stay dubs for the sole reason that they get tons of work.
plus if your an elder or have some other bs title, the 'friends' will actually be happy to pay a little .
extra because they know they are helping (brown nosing) an elder.. that just pisses me off.. how many dubs do you know who stay dubs just to network jobs for themselves?.
