  i have been reading the posts on who is and or had been an elder.

  it amazes me at what many have said.

  perhaps i have misunderstood what they were saying.

  Ben57, I congratulate you on being bold enough to examine the truth no matter where it leads. It is a challenging journey that many others fear to attempt.

  You will get to make your own mind up, and are welcome to ask any questions when they arise.

  What opened my eyes was the elders' hostility to the full "Good News" as outlined in their own publications.

  My prayers are with you and yours.

  Greetings

  Understand: Our salvation is not Jesus' primary concern

  by pixel in

  2. bible

  ...at least that's what the sunday study said:.

  "at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.

  his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".

  This is the sleight of hand used by the apostate Watchtower organisation to remove the ingredient called "salvation" from the medicine called the "Good News".

  Just ask any Watchtower follower to explain what the "Good News" is.

  Salvation is missing.

  (Yet, searching the 2012 Watchtower library for the phrase “good news of salvation“ produces 114 hits)

  i usually post about witness history.

  i read the other posts, sometimes with considerable interest.

  but my interest is in witness history and social structure.. .

  " practice of shunning even for questioning unsettled doctrines"

  Now there is a true phrase worth remembering and using.

  Thank you, Old Goat.

  Hey Brother Mike!

  Losing your belief in religion is one of the greatest opportunities that will ever come your way.

  It opens the door to the highest level of consciousness and intelligence, described in scripture as "faith" which is granted as a "free gift".

  Hidden in plain sight in scripture is a free map to this priceless treasure.

  The map has at least 30 key markers.

  At least 29 of these markers are removed from the Watchtower version of this map.

  That is why deceived Watchtower followers call themselves "publishers of the Good News" but are unfamiliar with the "Good News" according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms.

  Best wishes on your journey away from deception and darkness to enlightenment.

  Greetings

  Fernando

  PS - I'm sure you will follow the great advice by others above and make wise use of your powerful (God given) necktop computer.

  Belief is not a fruit of the Holy Spirit.

  Faith is.

  They are not the same.

  All persons have belief.

  Not all have faith (2 Thess 3:2).

  Faith is a "free gift".

  It is granted to those who explicitly pursue the liberating "unabridged gospel" message to its zenith (Rom 10:16,17).

  Religion is designed to obstruct or erode faith.

  Religion is backed by the god of religion - Satan the Devil. Religion divides and afflicts.

  Faith, spirituality and the full true "Good News" is backed by the God of Abraham. Faith unites and heals.

  "Religion is a bureaucracy between man and God".

  Wouldn't it be awesome if a few rounds of priceless satire was all it required to fell the walls of the evil apostate Watchtower organisation (Jericho).

  Sure, the irony is ridiculous.

  We see it, and pray that maybe your wife will one day also...
