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.

Did being an elder jepordize your own family?
by avidbiblereader indo you think being an elder jepordized your own family or do you know of elders who burnt themselves out at the expense of the congregation and let their own families go to the way side?
do you have experiences that this laboring for the congregation has ruined families?.
i tried to be balanced but to do it all, i remember getting up at 2:30 am before work to work on parts so to have time with my daughter but i feel that i took time that was and should have been devoted to my family that had to be put into the congregation for any reason.

Why do you post?
by avidbiblereader ini am not talking about questions or inquirying about what to do with a problem.. when you post what are some of the reasons you give your thoughts on matters?.
for me, i enjoy talking to others who can understand my experience but more importantly for me, i know there are lurkers or people right on the fringes who are sick of all of it.
i try to give a biblical explanation on matters that shows the error of going beyond the things written.

Christ Brothers?
by avidbiblereader inwho are christ's brothers?
the society has made the claim that only those of the 144,000 are christ's brothers and that by doing good to "them", others would be judged as fit for life.
who really is christ's brothers according to the words of jesus himself?

Who should partake of the blood and flesh?
by avidbiblereader inthis is another point i have always considered where the jw are doing what jesus said where they dont go in to the kingdom and neither do those that they teach.. john 6:53-56 53accordingly jesus said to them: most truly i say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.54he that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and i shall resurrect him at the last day;55for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.56he that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and i in union with him.
could it be that all of should be partaking of jesus blood and flesh at the lord supper, i now do but wonder about all those who are taught not to.
i am listening to the bible and not a man.

How often should the Lord's Supper be celebrated per year
by avidbiblereader ini have always had a problem with this from the scriptures, i understand the old law and replacing the passover but those laws did not apply to the new covenant and my question centers around pauls words to the 1 cor 11.
1 cor 11:17-20 .
17but, while giving these instructions, i do not commend you because it is, not for the better, but for the worse that you meet together.18for first of all, when you come together in a congregation, i hear divisions exist among you; and in some measure i believe it.19for there must also be sects among you, that the persons approved may also become manifest among you.
