Soooo.... let me get this straight now.
The Bible says it's okay to seek the counsel of a spirit medium but Botchtower says it's evil.
1sa 28:3-25 (nwt - not revised version).
7 finally saul said to his servants: seek for me a woman who is a mistress of spirit mediumship, and i will go to her and consult her.
then his servants said to him: look!

when i understood, jws are wrong in some vital areas [eg.
woman being viewed secondary, refusal to greet those differing with them ....], but right in other vital areas [such as their teaching that human rule is doomed, and will be replaced by gods rule], i began a diligent search for the right organization.
my search ended with brahmakumaris.

Outlaw, that pic you posted on the left is very Watchtower-esque.
check this out.
got this bound volume from my dad.. .
i've been thinking and here's what i've come up with.
correct me if i'm wrong, but in the bible does it not state that the word would have to be preached throughout the entire inhabited earth for a witness to all people and then the end would come?.
with the world being as vast as it is today, it would be practically impossible for the witnesses to speak to everyone in the world.
you have the opportunity to sit and discuss what's on your mind.. what would you tell them??.
my question, do you men have a heart, how do you sleep at nights??.
why do you think jehovah pick you to feed the sheep??.
they're baaaack!!!
jws "tabling" at my student center again, first time in over six months.
i wonder if the fact it's been 15 degrees out had anything to do with it?
BoC, this is excellent. Glad you sent it. Definitely share with us any results.
As time passes, my embarrassment for anyone who belongs to this organization grows.
How self-righteous of them to camp out at an institution of higher learning to peddle their BS on how evil it is when this is the farthest from the real truth.
a message brought to you by the people who have the unique true knowledge that jesus wasn't born on 12/25:.
hearts aren't even really "heart shaped"--it's just a pagan symbol and everyone wrongly believes they're shaped that way.any questions?
(this forum gets totally buggy when you use emoticons!).
rebel8 said: The doctrine in the thread title was a jw teaching back in the 1970s and 1980s.
Yep, that was around the time I was waking up.
though many sages have tried to describe god and his purpose, the best they could do was to declare neti, neti (not this, not this).
to the question of god, even buddha responded with silence!
jesus declared: truth will set you free but did not say what that truth is!
Ethers are a class of organic compounds that contain an ether
group — an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups — of
general formula R–O–R. A typical example is the solvent and anesthetic
diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether"
(CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3). Ethers are common in organic chemistry and
pervasive in biochemistry, as they are common linkages in carbohydrates
and lignin.
abiather, I am not sure why you would mention ether though without mentioning the essential organic compounds required for life such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Ooooh wait ... that's right. You're taking the Biblical ether here and not the actual organic chemistry one. Sheesh!
Never mind.
