Jesus as a Mediator
by I-follow-the-narrow-path ini know that jesus is a mediator... it is written in the bible.
i have never heard the jws tell me that he wasn't.
it is written in my bible (in the jw bible), so if they do deny that jesus is a mediator-- .

looking for letter to Circuit Overseers about blood
by lost_sheep ini was looking at ajwrb's timeline of the history of the blood doctrine, & noticed this : 2000 - in the spring, circuit overseers in the united states receive a letter instructing them to inform local bodies of elders not to disfellowship anyone who accepts blood transfusions.
if their conduct becomes known and they are deemed unrepentant, they will be considered to have disassociated themselves.
does anyone have a scan of this letter?

just curious about Hebrew verb tense in Isaiah...
by lost_sheep ini was comparing the nwt & the niv the other day & noticed there's a discrepancy at isaiah 48:18 & 19... the niv reads: .
18 if only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

The Seven Thunders of Millennial Dawn!
by Atlantis indr. shadduck 1928 edition.
i retyped out a couple of pages that were weak, however, if you still need a page or section retyped, then just send me a pm.
any copyrights on this booklet would have been discontinued many years ago.

What songs got you through good or tough times?
by jojochan ini've been in an upbeat mood lately.
i don't know if it's all the exercise that i'm doing or what but i've not been moody all 3 weeks.one thing that i've noticed, is that i've listened to certain songs that made me forget about "her" and move on with bigger and better things.
when i was depressed i listened to some songs from tool, some from the cure, barbra manning, the old babyface songs,some from sade, sweetback, and maxwell and everything but the girl.

old light on mediating...
by lost_sheep inblow the dust off your ancient watchtower tomes & delve into the annals (or should that be anals?
) of the wts's past... i'm trying to find out if they have ever taught that christ is the mediator for all people.
recently finding out (after being raised a witness) that they teach that christ is not the mediator for everyone was disturbing to say the least.

Holidays
by I-follow-the-narrow-path injw's don't celebrate holidays, because they are pagan and would offend jehovah god to partake in them.
what about the memorial though?
i mean, why is it okay to celebrate that?

Is the WT currently associated with the UN?
by lost_sheep ini know this topic has been beaten to death, i apologize for flogging the proverbial horse again... but someone mentioned a few days ago (can't find that comment now) that the wt still has ties to the un.
what evidence do we have for this?
if one of its corporations is still affiliated with the un, seems like that would be quite the scandal.

greetings from another newbie
by lost_sheep inwell... i've finally worked up the courage to get an account & start posting on this site.
i've been lurking for a couple of months now, voraciously reading all the, mmm, "delightful words of truth" i've found here.
i'm currently deep in dubdom, so i have to be pretty ambiguous about some personal details, (i'm really paranoid, hopefully that will pass :-/) but my story in a nutshell is: i was born into this religion, baptised in my mid teens, happily married to a wonderful (& thankfully, somewhat open-minded) jw lady, & now, several years later, i'm starting to seriously question some of what i believe.
