Leaving the Organization but not the teachings
by donny inwhen i left the witnesses in 1992 after ten years in the orgainzation, i got as far away from the teachings and mindest as i could.
however some, like my former brother-in-law, also left, but are intent on finding ways to reform the society from within since he believes in the society as being of god, but that it has become misguided and is slowly drifting to "christendom" status.
one of the things he cites as evidence is the wtbts become aligned with the united nations.

WT term "should be avoided" how do you understand it?
by ?me? inreading a recent posting from blondie on gambling, i saw a phrase that i have seen often in the magazines, and more notably in the flock book.
that is the phrase " (whatever activity or thought......... ) should be avoided" .
now if you ask me this leaves room for doing such activity, but clearly, well, kind of clearly discourages said activity.

The Reasoning Book is Inspired
by Thirdson inthat is what 2 jw ladies who came to my door recently told me..
to start at the beginning, periodically, these ladies have called and spoken to mrs thirdson but always on a week day.
mrs thirdson is always very polite and has accepted the mags saying that i might be interested in reading them but making it clear that we are christians and not interested in joining their religion.

Are the Great Crowd back out in the Court of the Gentiles?
by passwordprotected inin 2002 the wts acknowledged that naos as per revelation 7 does not in fact refer to the courtyard of the gentiles, but in reality - and correctly - is a much more divine place.. quote;.
but as the heavenly elder said to john, the great crowd really is in the temple, not outside the temple area in a kind of spiritual court of the gentiles.
what a privilege that is!
