Understanding who, what, or how...when a elder, oc, or ms is appointed
by Butterflyleia85 ini thought this page was interesting when they decussed developing church leaders.... http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/references/nt/pauline/titus/titus1/titus1_5_leadership.html.
can someone share scriptures or insite along the idea that.
even though an organization was always necessary god only used the organization, it was not an itegral part of his plan.

Wow Found out one of my Elders was DFed
by Butterflyleia85 inmy mom called and i found out one of my elders just got dfed.. i started out with three elders at the west hall and moved to a new congregation, the south hall (really an old one from when i was 16 and younger) while i was publicly reproved for the first time.
my mom decided it would be best for me and my sister to have friends our age locally to hang out with.
well we did the move and i hated the hall even more because i thought the friends their were cool and would be supportive but found it to be even more stuck up then the other hall.

Trinity, 144,000, Earthly Paradise, and 1914 ...hmmm
by Butterflyleia85 inhttp://144000.110mb.com/index.html.
ok i read this for 2 hours now, rereading it at least 6 times... still don't get it.. i still don't believe in the trinity as god jesus and holy spirit being one.
i am starting to see how the number 144,000 can be symbolic sence the rest of revelation is symbolic.

Used JW reasoning to find the 'truth' about them...
by Butterflyleia85 inremember that article the jehovah's witnesses had on the website... well i copied it into my word document as keep sake to remind me to be careful!
it was called "do not be a victim of propaganda!".
i felt it was very important and so true regardless who you were.

My Hyprocrite friend just got reinstated I found out on my facebook.
by Butterflyleia85 inthis seriously cracks me up.. i made a bold move and posted this.
(because i know there are some on my facebook that are jehovah witnesses, but i support the exjehovah witnesses now, i honestly hate hyprocrites but i also understand the struggle it is to be on one side by force and still be attached to the other side because of family, i respect honest people and it's not my place to expose people, that what the jw elders do, i keep to my own business).. remember that july 2009 awake!
well notice these words on page 29:no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.

I'm 'Apostate' now....
by Butterflyleia85 ina new 'apostate'.. according to dictionary.... one who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause.
toward the jehovah's witnesses.. shewww... it feels good.
weird i never thought i'd say that.. as far as my belief system... i realize they are still going to be based on my up bringing as a jehovah's witness (morals included) so i call myself a chirstian.. {gees it feels like i just hopped over the fence or something in the movie "village" haha}.

Very Interesting- about JW's (prob already been posted)
by Butterflyleia85 in"did you know that jws are encouraged to report on other jws who break a medical doctrine such as the ban on blood?
jws will do this to attain status with both jehovah and with peers.
they will tattle-tail even if it breaks medical or legal confidentiality laws.".....
