MY APOLOGIES TO ALL
by Mary inlooking back over the last few weeks, i think i've been unnessarily rude to some posters and i just want to apologize to anyone who has been on the receiving end of my anger recently.. i believe that i'm so angry, dismayed, devastated and heartbroken over what's happening to my brother in law, that i've been taking it out on others and that's not right.
it makes absolutely no difference what i think of the wts as a whole, or whether or not americans have a universal healthcare system......none of that makes any difference whatsoever when someone you love and has been like your brother for 35 years is dying and there's not a fucking thing we can do about it.. my sister just called me and there's more bad news, and that's that his disease has now progressed into the acute myeloid leukemia which means he cannot start the therapy they were going to give him, as this is far more serious now.
they want to start chemo right away, but his blood counts aren't up high enough for him to survive.

Are you a Binitarian?
by reniaa ini have had loads of discussion on here with so-called trinitarians that constantly refer to john 1:1 as proof of trinity!
but it only talks about the word (jesus) and the god so what happened to the holy ghost?.
if you only use proof that jesus is divine in your texts doesn't that make you a binitarian?.

GOVERNING BODY- JEHOVAH'S ANOINTED?
by believingxjw ineach member of the governing body claims to be of the anointed.
this claim of anointing along with the appointment to a virtual apostleship position in the organization gives them the power to rule over jehovah's witnesses.
they control every aspect of worship, nothing is outside of their control even the shunning of family members is within their ability to allow or disallow along with all other matters jw.

Jesus - My Exemplar?
by AK - Jeff ini do not put much credence these days to the idea of a 'savior' for man, in the sense believed by christianity.
it is not of that which i speak.. i refer to the person, either literal or literary, who is credited with leaving bad religion behind, taking an unpopular stance against it's leadership, and willingly suffering the consequences that follow such course of action.
it matters not if this person can be supported as historically accurate.

Not having a paradise earth in the future makes me sad - What about you?
by BonaFide inyes, i am enjoying realizing the truth about the truth.. but there is another side to it.
the world as we know it didn't seem to me to be the way that god intended it to be.
i know i was brainwashed, but it felt good believing that all the bad things would be changed.

What is the Organization Trying to Acheive?
by The-Borg ini don't understand their mode of operation.. if they want lots of growth, why don't they just lighten up a bit and dispense with the whole charade of harshness and disfellowshipping.
encourage charitable works, social gatherings, education, freedom of speech, having a family etc etc etc.
this would greatly increase their numbers and their bottom line $$.. they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot at the moment.
