The Resurrection and Exaltation of Christ
by drew sagan inthe doctrine of 1914 states jesus was 'enthroned' at that time, stating that his power was limited up untill then (he only had been made king over the congregation).
two scriptures that contradict this belief are ephesians 1:20, and matthew 28:18. in the latter jesus states before he is resurrected that: .
all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth" .

by kid-A ininquiring minds want to know: how did respond to oath # 7 which all jws were required to take at the latest dc?
"we will resist with all our strength the spirit of the world manifested in such things as materialism, unwholesome entertainment, overindulgence in food and alcoholic beverages, the plague of pornographic material and the curiosity or temptation that lures one into association with outsiders through internet chat rooms.
our resolve is to be no part of world as we carry on worship that is clean from the standpoint of our god.

Just for the sake of the record....
by james_woods init has recently come to my attention that the widow of old ed dunlap (of the ray franz scandal days) is now moving from oklahoma city to be with her family members (non-jw mostly) in australia.. she is a quite private person, and most may not even remember her (maybe except for people like barbara anderson, and some of the other old stalwarts...).
she has never made much contact with us of the "apostate" situation, but she has always been my good friend.. i hope that we all share the wishes that she spend her later days in happiness and comfort.. goodbye from oklahoma, betty, and i hope you are well back down under,,,.

Will You React With Prejudice?
by Jamaican JW inwill you react with prejudice when faced with "absolute truth?
sometimes, an irrefutable "truth" can be spoken.
and yet, this statement or fact of "truth" can be glossed over or dismissed or not recognized by the community at large, because of preconceived ideas taught us and engrained in us, from our previous upbringing or training.
