Be your own person ... and you will be called into the back room and 'shepherded'. If you persist, you will be disfellowshipped.

by mikeypants ini'm sure this has been brought up before but.... i was talking a lil bit with the wife today about things as she brought it up.
she's baptized and all that, i'm not.
after the zone meeting i said enough.. anyway, she mentioned there's about 6000 anointed left and that armageddon would come before they all croaked.

CAN WE BE BETTER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE?
by Terry inbe careful what you say god is and what he wants; you may be saying more about yourself than you realize.. it may well be our personal taste in religion is revelatory of our basic character.. _____.
look at the devout islamist whose worship consists of blowing people up or cutting off heads.. contrast that to those hindi who sit with legs folded in their own lap contemplating bliss.. now contrast both the above to somebody who believes service to god is visiting the sick in hospitals.. _____.
instead of there being 3 different gods served--there might only be an extraordinary unveiling of each person's heart and mind!.

Jesus Said - "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you." (John 6:53)
Therefore, you must be a cannibal in order to receive 'eternal life'. Geez... and here I was taught that going door to door with Awake! and Watchtower magazines would get me that. Man, was I mislead.
About becoming a cannibal... no thanks. I'd rather be a vegetarian.

In many parts of the world, humans have abolished slavery... something God has been unable to do.
The discovery of penicillin/anti-biotics has saved countless lives from death due to infections -- another human endeavour that God was unable to do.
The development of modern dentistry has saved many from death due to diseased teeth/gums, etc. Once again, NOT God's accomplishment but mankind's.
I am sure I could go on and on.

A powerful JC recording from 1984!
by Island Man inthis jc from 1984 features a brother and his wife, who were evidently about to be df'd for apostasy.
but the brother knew his ttatt well.
the elders really couldn't muster any half-way convincing arguments to refute the damning facts on 607 and 1914. even 1975 was touched on.

This couple tried to go and get all spiritual, and guess what happens, they find out that thier religion is full of lies when the cults teachings they ponder don't add up.
Yeah... this is what happens when you read the Bible too.

NewYork44M... actually, Paganism is still very much in existence today. There are solitary witches as well as covens that exist too.
They are just quietly going about their lives due to past indiscretions by the Christians and other holier-than-thou, judgmental groups who felt the Pagans were heretics/infidels etc.

*Heaven, with hands on hips * Vidiot, I was a rural dweller... and I ain't no hillbilly!
Bruja... you are welcome. I like that picture as well. I think if I was to accept any 'religion' kindness and the divinity in all things makes far more sense to me than the violent, angry, spiteful, male spirit/Sky Daddy of the 3 main faiths.

You can put the WT in your will...
by Raton inthis is probably all old news to most but i found it interesting.
i was trying to find the website that has all the boes and in my yahoo search these showed up and i checked them out.
there are probably better lines than the ones i picked out but if interested check them out.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202012206#h=0:0-3:583 "a trustee or executor should be aware that whether the estate is large or small, liberties should not be taken with the assets.
