I just came from my elder's meeting
by BonaFide injust to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

The Governing Body is stealing Ray Franz's ideas
by JimmyPage inon page 267 of "crisis of conscience" ray franz made the observation that the '95 new light on "generation" came shortly after he described what the governing body needed to make the doctrine continue to work.
my copy of his book came out before this year's "new light" on "the generation".
however, on page 265 of ray's book another possible "out" for the society is given.

The drama was about me!
by Kosonen ini was today at the assembly and the drama was inspired by my story.
i was pictured as the former elder who influences badly on the congregation by saing "now when it has been so widely preached in our territory it is time to concentrate on helping poor people.
then back to sweden to the russian group where i was about 7 years.

Reflections on the assembly - please help!!!!
by insearchoftruth ingood morning,.
one of the two district assemblies was this past weekend in hampton va and my wife was very excited to attend, but she only attended about 1.5 hours on friday and then i attended the morning session with her on saturday.
not sure how these number compare with past years, but about 5200 folks were in attendance (by their count) and it appeared that about 20 folks were going to be baptized.. here are couple of my thoughts on what i heard, i kept notes, but they were in my wife's binder, so was unable to grab them this morning.. most of the speakers i heard slammed higher education....and they tried to tie that back to the bible, that was sort of a reach if you ask me...wasn't luke involved with medicine in some way??.

How do you now interpret the LordÂ’s Prayer?
by still wondering infor those of you that have survived and come through the great tribulation of having been a member of the wts and still have a faith in god, how do you now interpret the lords prayer?.
just what do you think jesus meant when he said "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"?.

Are we living in the Last Days?
by Kosonen inhave you ever thought why apostle paul do not mention wars, pestilence, earthquackes, famine when he talks about the last days?
or why apostle peter only says, that in the last days ridiculers will come, asking were is his promised presence, and that from the beginning all remains exactly the same?
and why does peter not say: look at the wars, but says: all has not been the same, because a flood occured.
