Older Man??
by avidbiblereader inthe scriptures uses the term "older man" as a position of authority in the congregation to help and shepherd the flock.
in the jw they will typically use a man of the age of 30 and use as a reference jesus getting baptized and the beginning of his work on earth.. how many here feel the "older man" should in deed be an older man because of the seriousness of the responsibility, because of experience and did any of you feel as an elder or because of an younger elder you were not treated properly because of youth and a lack of experience or they lacked the example of an older man?.

Could you REALLY be an apostate unless
by avidbiblereader inyou are of the anointed class?.
hebrews 6:4-6 4for it is impossible as regards those who have once for all been enlightened, and who have tasted the heavenly free gift, and who have become partakers of holy spirit,5and who have tasted the fine word of god and powers of the coming system of things,6but who have fallen away, to revive them again to repentance, because they impale the son of god afresh for themselves and expose him to public shame.. nothing mentioned according to the scriptures of the gc or other sheep doing this,.

Signs what are they?
by avidbiblereader ini have been posting here for a little over a month.
i understand several abbrev and so forth but perhaps for the ones like me who are a little slow behind the wheel, we could have a follow up on what the abbrev and different signs that are used in the posts.
it would really help me understand some of the lingo on the threads, thanks for all the help you can give me.. just trying to understand more from my fellow friends and posters.

The need for a GB or FD slave?
by avidbiblereader inthe whole teaching of needing a fd slave hangs on one scripture that really isn't that clear; however in looking at the scriptures how would you/they explain the texts below from the bible, whether they would classify you as a domestic or fellow anointed or other sheep?
hebrews 8:10-12 .
10for this is the covenant that i shall covenant with the house of israel after those days, says jehovah.

A completely different view of DFing from the scriptures and Greek
by avidbiblereader in'" (nrsv) "when they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples," (niv) clearly, being satisfied or having eaten all that one desired could not be said of eating a small fragment of an unleavened loaf.
the common view is that this means they had finished eating the meal and the pieces of the one loaf.
1 corinthians 5: 3 3 even though i am not with you in person, i am with you in the spirit.
