12.06 KM and the "spirtual banquet" served by Jehovah
by rassillon inin concert with the previous post about the revelation book changes (and changes in general) i would like to add a few comments and reasoning points from the december 2006 our kingdom ministry.. (first) on page 1 under the heading "do not lose the love you had at first" paragraph 2 states: personal study and meeting attendance: what caused us to develop love for god and neighbor when we first learned the truth?
was it not all that we learned about jehovah from our study of the scriptures?
(1 john 4:16, 19) therefore, so that our love "may abound yet more and more," we must continue taking in accurate knowledge, digging into "the deep things of god.

JW dress fads
by rassillon ini was just looking at the revelation book and some of the illustrations reminded me of some of the dress fads which i have seen growing up as a jw.
what fads did you see at the halls?.
the one that got me to thinking was the sun dress on page 51. .

A question for Jehovah's Witnesses. Please answer.
by rassillon ini am still in good standing so you must be truthful with me no spiritual warfare with me.. it is almost an automatic response that it is not fair to bring up old literature and old teachings when questioning the wt authority and stand.. i present that since the wt still uses references to early years and bases their authority and choseness on events that happend in those early years and the justification is the differences in what they taught and what nominal christianity taught.
based on these facts and the fact that if you disprove their claims to be chosen at that time they have no basis for authority or claiming a chosen status.. do you still agree that it is not fair to discuss this old literature?.
if you answer yes, when were they chosen by god and what proof do you have for that.

Words and Meanings
by rassillon ini was just reading jwfacts topic about the change in the teaching about "worshiping" jesus, and i wanted to get this off my chest so to speak.. i started a new thread because these comments are not really inline with his thread, nor is this a rebuttal.... .
for some time even since before i got to the point which i did not agree with the wts teachings i have been researching things and this whole thing about people and having their battle about words and meanings seems a little short sighted to me.. i will take the "worship jesus" example (i am not arguing a point either side here).
we have to accept that the english bible was translated from another language (latin, greek, aramaic, etc.. depending on the translation).

My day out if service - halirity insues
by rassillon ini am a fader for those of you who don't know.. i have been avoiding field service as much as possible, less than once a month for the past 3mos.. anyway, last saturday i did not have any way of not going out with my wife (she is unaware).
so i go out.. these days i only read scriptures to people, encouraging ones.. well, wouldn't you believe i got the only person pissed at witnesses that day.
when i asked if i could read a scripture, he said he didn't mind the scripture but did mind people comming onto his property and telling him that their faith was better than his.

September 2006 KM Quote 1893 Zion's Watch Tower
by rassillon inthe article "witnessing from house to house", on page 8, in the first paragraph it quotes the july 1, 1893 zions watch tower as follows.
"those experienced in the various ways of spreading the truth will agree that the house to house canvass with millenial dawn is, in the present time, by far the most effective way of preaching the truth.".
i have bought the cds of reprint scans.

Revelation 20 Question - Nark, Leolaia, Alan, Blondie, Drew, Others
by rassillon ini have been reading the bible with a new perspective for some time, i guess i identify with drew s from a lot of his comments sound like what i think.
i have been thinking about what i read without the wt influence and i would like to get ya'll's input on this scripture.. .
revelation 20 1-6. to me it seems to indicate that satan will be bound "first" then the ressurection of those to rule with christ for a thousand years.. also.
