Why is there a need for Ministry School presentations?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwe were told that the preaching work was lead and guided by ''angels'' and the holy spirit.. if that is so,why the need for magazine presentations week after week?
why is a half hour spent showing each member what to say and how to respond to certain questions?
why practice presentations when the angels and holy spirit are there to help?.

I got reinstated, cont.
by maryacclaim inthanks blondie for the comment, i have to say you are one of the famous here on j-w.net so its an honor.. to answer some of those who think i did this and now i live a lie or a life of regret, i say this.. i did live a lie most of my life, i had so many questions that never got answered.
i didn't want to do bad by no means but i also didn't feel it was an organizations right to strip someone of their rights due to a difference of opinion.
it was actually a great deed they did for me when they df'd me.

Accidentally Got an Email from a JW. . .
by leavingwt ina few minutes ago, a former jw friend of mine (ex-bethelite) sent me a bulk email.
this happened once before, a few months back, i just deleted it, but found it curious that he hadn't removed all "known apostates" from his address book.. .
this time, i couldn't let it pass.

Scary stuff.... I've just realized that I could be disfellowshipped at any time
by Quillsky ini like to think that i have escaped the cult completely, since i, and members of my close family, faded away years ago.
however, i have recently realized that my "elder" uncle, my father's older brother, could technically have me disfellowshipped, such as if he figures out that i post on an "apostate" message board (i've tried to direct my cousin here), or sees me smoking in a restaurant in the small town we all live in, or hears from my father that my boyfriend and i have been away for a weekend together.. so i've recently discovered this fear.
although i believe i'm "out" i'm still trapped in a way.

Jesus is Not Michael
by JosephMalik inyou all know that i argued this the other way and could not get good answers to daniel chapter 12. but if you see michael as performing a function much like john the baptist did and how the jews believed that elijah must come first then michael's function of standing in advance of the return of our lord for a short time prior to the resurrection of the dead makes perfect sense.
and it also gives a slightly different meaning to the words: " and what shall be the sign of thy coming, (events that take place after the standing up of michael) and of the end of the world?
" (christs return or presence.

ARMAGEDDON IS A TRICK
by cameo-d in(originally posted on tsunami thread, but felt it deserved a discussion on its own.).
it is my contention that this physically destructive "armageddon" will be a contrived event.
the bible never says anything about any battle of armageddon where god kills off all non-church members.

Did the Governing Body pull a "Moses" and not get reprimanded?
by sabastious inas most of us know, the story of why moses did not get to enter the promise land is as follows:.
the iraelites were b*itching again about not having enough water so moses took them to a seemingly dry place and cracked a large rock like thing and water started to come out; he took 100% credit for the miracle.
because of this deceit moses was severely punished.
