Bible Students, JW posters, and lurkers, please respond
by AuldSoul ini wrote this to someone else, but i think this demonstrates perfectly why i was outraged when i first found out that jehovah's witnesses do not teach that jesus is the mediator for all mankind.
it is true that they possess a different doctrine entirely, but to me the outrageous thing was that they do not actively teach any doctrine regarding jesus mediatorship.
this thread presents indisputable proof of that fact.. in my opinion, it is very important to remember that religions do not tell you the harshest doctrines or the most difficult doctrines to accept during the initial indoctrination phase.. do you have a copy of reasoning from the scriptures?

jw, a thread for you and I...
by AuldSoul injw,.
i realize it is impossible to expect that no one will post to this thread, and most threads don't survive more than a page or two before becoming sidetracked, but perhaps you and i can discuss whatever is on your mind in an "intelligent" manner in this thread.
maybe we could begin by requesting that this area be fairly undisturbed and at least that any additional posts to this thread outside of our discussion be of a statement nature and not distracting from the point by asking side-questions or hurling ad hominem.. first though, i would like some sense of what you consider to be an intelligent way to discuss issues.. can we agree to try and avoid logical fallacies and argue only points we each feel competent to address independently?

Current GB—None of the 1975 GB left
by AuldSoul init just dawned on me that not one single person from the governing body of 1975 is on the governing body today.. here are a few other facts about the current gb:.
geoffrey jackson was 20 years old in 1975, he was not at risk of being drafted for viet nam because he was too young at the time.. sam herd and guy pierce were 21 the year sputnik was launched.. gerrit losch was 20 at the dawn of flower power and the free love era in the united states.
of course, his circumstances were very different in the country in which he was located.. david splane, stephen lett, and anthony morris were all of an age to be at risk for the viet nam draft.. a brief rundown of historical context for 7 of the 10 current gb members.

Just finished Crisis of Conscience (first time), now I understand why...
by AuldSoul ini have just completed crisis of conscience.
now i understand why my father, the co, the wts and every other elder who came to my home asked if i had read the book.. i had not.
however, the argumentation stylesup to and including the focus in my letters on the paired issues of candor and humilityas well as the bulk of the scriptures used by brother franz and others were present in my letters.. this shows their hubris to an even greater degree.

Why did they join the UN/DPI? Who gives a flying sh-ugar coated waffle?
by AuldSoul inmuch has been made over possible motives behind the watchtower society joining the un/dpi.
my response is currently the same as it was in my first letter to them, "who cares why [they] did it?
" really, this matter is so simple it can be summed up by answering two teensy little questions:.

IF Jehovah's Witnesses are right...
by AuldSoul in...then jesus lied about how to identify the false prophets.. ...then jesus lied about the sign of his presence and of the conclusion of the system of things.. ...then the watchtower bible and tract society disassociated itself from true christianity through a repeated lack of neutrality.. ...then i will happily die at armageddon knowing i stood up against a god who supported a deceitful earthly corporation as his own.. but, i am not afraid they are right.
respectfully,.

Were the Nephilim sterile? Did they have offspring?
by AuldSoul in*** it-2 p. 492 nephilim *** .
increased wickedness.
the mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame that were produced by these marriages, were not men of fame with god, for they did not survive the flood, as did noah and his family.

The KKK and NAACP are NGOs!
by AuldSoul indid i get your attention?
i hope so.
an error in statement regarding ngos is being used to discredit those who have legitimate grievances with the blatant hypocrisy of the leadership of jehovah's witnesses.
