I'm only apostate from the cult.
But I'm definately not an apostate from God and Jesus...
i picked up the bible while the site was down and this is the first thing i read:.
"for what is the hope of an apostate in case he cuts [him] off, in case god carries off his soul from him?
job 27:8 .
I'm only apostate from the cult.

orthodoxy) the gentile times began when jerusalem was destroyed and sacrifices to jehovah ceased because there was no way to observe the ritual temple sacrifices.
hence, true religion ceased and gentile domination began.
the importance of israel as a people was the pure religion and its correct observance through the priesthood for forgiveness of national and individual sins.
Dear Terry,
Since I left the witnesses in Aug., I've come to have a different idea of the gentile times... I think it is the period of time when God opened the door to the gentiles...starting with Cornelius, the Roman Centurian.. And it will end, probably when Jesus takes the rule of the Earth... This idea makes alot more sense to me. What do you think?

i have just posted the following article at http://jwfacts.com/index_files/greatcrowd.htm about the great crowd and the other sheep.
i would appreciate any comments in regards to the accuracy of statements and also checking grammar.
i have reposted it again further down because this insert is too annoying with the scrolling.
Hello,
Just wanted to say, well, it's too long for me to read right now... but I do think that the great crowd and the other sheep are different, now that I'm out.
I think the great crowd..are the good people who will survive the great trib..but the 144,000 are the very devoted brothers of Christ.
I think the other sheep were the gentiles..
ok one of the things that my husband kept asking as i was trying desperately to do my fade thing was.... .
indeed when he told his coworkers what was going on with me they would ask... .
the freedom that they tell you you have is conditional.
Hello Meagie,
Still don't like this holiday. 'the bomb's bursting in air'. I like to think of the whole world as a brotherhood..

the jw's have some teaching about the spirit that it is the kind of unknow life force/engerie that was given to adam and all of us.. i think that they teach that if this life force is taken away, we die instantly.. of course we die when we have no more energie, but energie does come from food, not from something unknown.. what exactly is the society teaching about this, i never fully understood it.. ad what does the bible really mean, whenit uses these words?.
danny
VM44... Liked your idea, that if the life force is without personality, then where would the personality, the memories be? Could they be in the Soul...? And God takes the soul to himselft until the ressurection? And the lifeforce still be an impersonality life force?
could the reason why the wtbs leave out jesus in the watchtower study articles is maybe they think they have replaced him in word?
or since they are the "spokesman" that jehovah has by passed him for them?
does that make sense?
To me, that's the main 'sin' of the WT. Pretending to be Jesus...by being our mediator.. Dream on, WT.......You could never take the place of our Lord...
1. we are determined to intensify our preaching activity.
2. to live up to our dedication to jehovah and give him exclusive devotion.
3. to follow jesus' example closely and be no part of the world.
Do you think all of them are real? Could you find out? The other thread came from someone who wasn't sure. Enjoyed all the comments..
The political one...and entertainment one..are really horse manure...along with most of the others

Bl Swan: I did get the resolution from the thread you sent me to, and he got it from another source and wasn't sure if it was true.
vm44: Yes, we are treated exactly like children
Gill and damselfly: Entertainment, HUH??? priceless comment
We are determined:8) To continue kissing the old wrinkly asses of the GB no matter how much BS pours out of them!!
itsallgood: Yes, they are REALLY playing big brother to the hilt
Elsewhere: Ha! They can only go interfaith when trying to convert...phonies.
Still I wish truthseeker or someone who went the D>C. could confirm this... or maybe Drew Sagan??
