May 7, 06 WT Study - Invalid Baptism
by Gander inas the study went on i began to think about the baptism annulment letters i have seen people composing on this board.
what if you just told everyone you never dedicated yourself to jehovah?.
of course they would call you a liar for having said yes to the two questions during the baptism talk.

We don't pass the plate, we just demand the $$
by lost_light06 inthe other night during the announcements between the ministry school and service meeting there was a letter read.
i pretty much tuned out the whole thing but what did catch my ear was the request that $4.50 per publisher be contributed by each cong.
for whatever bogus committee the letter was dealing with (sorry i cant be more specific, i honestly dont remember what it was for).

God Or Satan?
by Lloyd Braun inhere's an interesting question about "satan" and "god".
recently, i have been studying some material that suggests that "satan" in the hebrew is never defined as a rebellious angel, that only comes in revelation (greek) later.
in the ot, satan and yhwh are the same being in certain circumstances.

Desperately seeking fade
by 5thGeneration in.
i really want out but keep going for personal reasons.. my question: has anyone else during their fade period gone off the school, quit do-t-do and just gone to the sunday meeting?.
that's where i'm at right now but it's a living hell still 'being' a publisher but being a lump at the same time..

Athiest Elders?
by AK - Jeff inthis thought is inspired by hopie's thread about going undercover to rescue her daughter.. i have often wondered if any others have done the same, but for differing reasons?
before i left, and when i had become aware that something was wrong with the 'men appointed by holy spirit' doctrine that elevates elders to the full rank of pharisee, i considered the possibility of moving to an area in which i was unknown and beginning the correct politics needed to 'make elder'.
i wanted to see if i could go from disgruntled, unsure this was even god's organization, to 'elder in shekinah light standing' in less than two years.

The Current Sitatuation - The Society
by KW13 injust when you think the society couldn't get more oppressive, they prove you wrong.
there are lots of threads about the recent changes - the thing that really is a slap in the face for any witness who is considering their view of the organization, is the kingdom ministry which not only speaks against witnesses having sites (can't see those disappearing anytime soon) and they also want people to stop meeting together independently.. since when was this bible based?.
the bible says when two or three are gathered together that god will be among them, and many other scriptures speak against this teaching.. share your opinion on how this might help others wake up but please for me and others wanting to use this opportunity to have a discussion try and provide some scriptures along the way, they will be a great help!.
