recently, my mother, who had stopped talking to me because i was 'apostate,' started speaking to me again.. (note that i successfully faded as opposed to ever being disfellowshipped due to dodging every elder question with "i'm not sure, i'm still searching and trying to find the answers.").
the reason why?
at the international convention this year, they receieved a new video called something or other.
3) When younger son brings up to his parents that the bible may not be correct, the basement dwelling elder shows him a model of Noah's ark that he built. The son loves it! The family later gets together in a park to show the scale of Noah's ark! Yay! What does this have to do with validty and evidence?! Who cares!
Oh, I am sure that child would've gotten a kick out of the creation museum in Kentucky. But wait, Jehovah's Witnesses cannot go there as it was built by Christendom's churches.
so my sister is in a nursing home with dibilitating disease.
i forwarded her mail to my home when she went in.
otwo: you don't need to know anything about me.
Too funny.
I recall telling my wife about the mormon website and how they view their former members as apostates and how one of our mormon posters got angry with me when I questioned him about his religion. She actually defended that mormon saying that I was probably misinformed. Classic.
fusion with god natural .
in the cosmos universe or whatever.
all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.
Science proves there is a God
I saw no evidence to support such a claim.
i cant stop the nagging thoughts in relation to the hype about "100 years of kingdom rule" !.
what is the significance?
why make such a big deal about something like that?.
the true church is one not made by human hands it cannot be seen or touched nor is it made with bricks and mortar.
it is a living breathing entity made up of believers in messiah.
all earthly representations of it are counterfeit and a delusion to stop you from entering into the new spiritual covenant started after the destruction of jerusalem and the temple in 70ad.
Okay, you're wierding me out.
just a comment about shunning.
true love is about forgiveness, overlooking faults, putting up with one anothers faults etc etc.
walking in love means being merciful to others.
This is worthy of the WTWizard and ProdigalSon.
humankind has for centuries sought truth outside of themselves.
the soupmix of teaching ,ideas,philosophies and religious dogma had failed to see that the truth is within and if we seek ,knock and ask we find it within us.
the truth is that we are all light and pure love and that is buried deep within alll the layers upon layers which are being stripped away to reveal the true inner self .
SO instead of looking outward look inward and see for yourselves if you have the bottle
Would it be okay if a native american who never heard of Christ performed a vision quest and found truth that way?

That is why there is no more fear of dying because of what Messiah did. He made the way open ofr al of us to be fused back to God Our inner self is eternal
So what happened at death before the Messiah?
the truth is within you and god himself teaches us all the truth.we cannot find it in a building or religion.
the fusion between humankind and god was sealed by messiah in the 1st century.
until many recognise the kingdom within there will always be divsions,confusion, etc etc.
While I agree with what you are saying, cassuk, I know that I can no more prove that than prove that we are minds operating our avatars in some kind of virtual reality simulation called life. In the end, just live as best as you can.
Now where is ProdigalSon? I'd love to see his response.
one of my co workers mother made my 4 year old a blanket with the disney character tinkerbell on it.
as soon as i got it i knew trouble lay ahead.
i wanted to reason with her before my daughter saw it so as not to cause a disruption, but it didn't work out that way.
Oh dear God in Heaven.
I remember similar drivel coming out the mouth of an Independent Fundamental Baptist pastor many years ago against tthe smurfs , telletubbies, captain planet, you name it. My wife's kingdom hall sits right beside an IFB church. I can only imagine the kind of bile they preach about their next door neighbor.
