to all who are still active...& those who are not...... is everyone ready for wt for sunday....1914....is everyone ready to see the friends faces, that will pretend all is well.
but their minds will be racing.
i started the article...talk about confusing...but maybe on purpose only a few in the hall will be able to break it down.
Glad i won't be there to listen to all those fine comments how GB is being used by Jehovah.

how many of us have had to deal with a version of that retort?!
it's hurtful and i suspect - for some - that's partly because of the nagging feeling that our families may have a point.. but do they?.
i was 15 when i got baptised, is it reasonable that as the 50 year old man i'll be on my next birthday i continue to be held to a decision i made as a schoolboy?.
The GB can change their mind on doctrines over and over again with no consequences but a 14 year old that gets baptized but eventually loses faith in the watchtower and does not believe anymore will be punished for the rest of his life.
Very sad indeed !
the only reference to living forever, (or indefinitely long) in the genesis 2&3 account, is in reference to the "tree of life".
gen 3:22 "--eat and live to time indefinite--".
this tree must have been hard to find because wt writers opined that eventually, in their faithful course, a&e would be led to that allowed tree to gain everlasting life's symbolic confirmation.. therefore as the ancients accidentally & correctly wrote, humans did not have inherent everlasting life, but it was gained through diet.
Nothing lives forever around us. It's a dream that men has come up with.

5 ---- was she out of the reach of the elders, because she was an unbaptized subject?--- were ladies of less important to paul's thinking?
, like the primary blame on adam for "sin" rather than eve's?-- for those that still find the talking snake saga worthy of discussion for one reason or another.
It's just like 2013....the men usually gets screwed. Have seen many, many cases that the wife gets off with a slap on her wrist when she commits adultery.
A few tears on the part of the sister go a long way with the elders on JC.
earlier some poster asked the question: what if the watchtower organizaiton was a country.
here is my view, illustrated .
picture 1: loving counsel from the state:.
North Korea would be a good example!! Praise and worship the leader and keep your mouth shut!!!
what do ya think of that?
?.
Remind her that going door to door preaching is a good way for her to be attacked by demons.
Worldly people are all under Satan and demonized.
She should stay home and be safe.
hahaa, ive gotta do a demo this week about responding to the question 'are jw's false prophets'?
.
shall i throw in a couple more arguments than the o es i'm given?......
Make sure that by the time you're done with it that you have convinced at dozen or so JW's to walk away from the watchtower because it is a cult.
i'm not, even a little bit and i don't understand what the outrage is all about..
I've seen her growing up on her 500 acre Thompson Station,Tn farm.
Lived right by her..very nice family and a sister in the congregation used to clean for them.
Right now, looking at her, sticking her tongue out she makes me sick.
Her career is over and she's just trying to be noticed with her trashy behavior .
what was your wake-up call(s) before you left the jw s organization?
.
144k go to heaven. I always had a hard time accepting that and trying to prove that from the book of revelation.
A book written in signs and symbols.
Internet research of the watchtower opened my eyes about this religion being a cult.
a friend just emailed me this interesting video last night... just hought i'd share.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa8pqnrprms.
so, in summary, the faithful & discreet slave are:.
1881: the body of christ1896: a yet to be determined "individual"1916: 20 years later, that "individual" turned out to be russell1926: (10 years later) no wait!
It's not their fault......Jehovah trying to figure out who to give the job to
