Is the Soul Immortal...Biblically Speaking?
by Vanderhoven7 ini wonder if someone would care to produce a list (full quotes) of all the proof texts in scripture they are aware of that establish that the human soul is innately immortal?.
just the scriptures...without comment please...so everyone will see just how clear the bible alone (sola scriptura) is on this issue.

Random thoughts about Garden of Eden and Big Bang theory
by ballistic ini was reading about the garden of eden as follows.... knowledge and eternal life separate the gods from humanity.
the garden of eden story indicates that divinity consists of two primary elements: knowledge and immortality.
through an act of disobedience, human beings acquired the former, but they could not be allowed to attain the latter, lest they become like god.

What's The Watchtower So Paranoid About Anyway?
by minimus inso, you see a hidden book (in this internet age), so you view a "confidential" letter, so you record a meeting?.
the watchtower thinks they are entrusted with special communication that ultimately comes from god.
only special ones can be privy to the inner most holy of the watchtower society.. they obviously feel they have been enlightened by god & his governing body to demand whatever allegiance they feel is deserved.. yet, quite simply, they are full of shit.

No one is going to Heaven (and my introduction to the forum)
by sobrino1 ini'm new to the forum, though i had been a lurker for quite some time now.
i studied w/ the witnesses for a number of years, to be specific, for 10 years (since i was a child) but never actually became one; though, i was counted as one in the yearbooks as a "publisher.
" so, as far as i got was as an unbaptized publisher.

Sept 29: The Day of the Lord: Michael, the Archangel
by cameo-d inoriginally held in 1310, the red mass marked the beginning of the michaelmas (fall term) of the kings bench during the reign of edward of england.
it was an occasion of great pageantry and solemnity as judges, barristers and members of parliament gathered to invoke gods blessing and guidance on themselves and their profession.. .
all members of the legal profession and their families are invited to attend this occasion of prayerful petition and thanksgiving, regardless of religious affiliation.. at the conclusion of the liturgy, the 2010 distinguished judicial award will be presented to the hon.

Why do some expect the WTS to one day end? It's simply not going to happen folks........
by jambon1 inin my anger as an ex witness about 4 years ago i really wished that this would happen.
although the glaring errors, hypocrisy & downright badness of the wts was finally evident to me personally, others whom i had expeced to eventually leave the org have not.. i think it dawned on me around 1 or 2 years ago that my wife will never leave the witnesses.
having presented in both heated & reasonable debate every kind of logical argument against the religions teachings the conversations would get to the point where she would simply refuse to answer my questions.

The elders of the '80s are retiring
by truthseeker ini was catching up on news with a friend of mine from my old hall - a few of the elders have stepped down and some have retired.. these are men who were in their 30's during the 1980's when i was very young - now they are retiring or facing retirement.. i sometimes wonder how they feel after working all those years only to wake up and realize that their working lives are over.. do they ask themselves: what's happened?
where's armaggedon?
the day of reckoning has come - the elders who were 30 in 1980 are now 60 years old.
