  Thus my reasoning. Many lives have been affected (died or df'd or been left by spouses and family) due to the blood doctine. Now after many years, it's been changed. So now what? What about the thousands, upon thousands who have been negatively affected by this? I do not see this as accecptable to God.

  What about telling people the 1914 doctrine? Really? Telling millions of people on earth Christ took his place at that date? After all other of their p rophecies have failed. This is not acceptable to God?

  What about the many who have been cast out for literally stupid reasons? And to make is so hard to come back? I also don't think this is acceptable to God.

  I don't think it's acceptable to God, once they see the three witness rule is working regarding Child Sexual Abuse to continue, instead of reform.

  N.drew made a very interesting statement.... "an apostate would want them to fail, a Christian would want them to repent". I had always hoped they would repent and reform, simple tweeking....as they would expect us to do, however, it has not happened.

  The WTS is correct when qouting from the bible, saying gods word does not change. Read: 2 Thess 2:1-17/ 1 Timothy 1:1-20 / Ephesians 5:9-12 / 2 Corinth 11: 12-15 / LUKE 11:46

  In my personal opinion, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. I personally feel things are worse. When Jesus said he's coming again, maybe it's going to straighten out the whole bs, where religion has gotten it wrong.....I don't know.......all I know is the WTS has serioulsy fucked up. They are more worried about being sued and their money, instead of doing what's wise and right.

  With everything I now know about the WTS, I couldn't go door to door asking thousands of people to change their lives for a lie.......

  does the gb really believe or is this a game ?

  im assuming we all realise the gb may be many things but the individuals are not fools.

  given the changes in ideas, formulation of new light and so on, do they buy the fascade they are presenting ?

  if theres anyone in there, surely they as men, know how very man made it has always been.

  @designs Hard to jump off a train going 60mph.

  They've dug themselves into a hole. I'm sure at this very momnet they're deliberating with attornys, how they're going to spin the next menopoly get out of jail card to the masses via new light

  If you seriously disect current WT material, you WILL clearly see pyschological manipulation at it's best. The april 15th WT is a perfect example. Look at key words and phrases. One sentence that really cracks me up is "Jahovah is watching" if someone is talking to a Df'd person or not. Really? Using this childish tactic to grown adults?! Of cours he is watching.....

  Plus who is going to be the successors of current GB members, when these die out. It would be awesome to have a chart of some kind to see just how the borg is runned.

  I don't believe it's the doctrine. Jesus and his apostles layed out things clearly and easly. It's really not that hard. I personally believe these men are not as wise as they'd like themselves to be, and it's now staring them in the face.

  My 8 year old gets it

  my 8 year old has recently discovered star trek and loves it.

  the other night we watched an episode "return of the archons".

  whenever someone spoke differently or questioned, it was recognized that they were not one of them or "of the body".

  Memorial Partakers guesses?

  the last four years:.

  with all the changes in the 'generation', 'sealing', doctines, etc.

  - there have been unexpected [i imagine] jumps in this number.

  Even if it is fake letter, someone on this site already tried using those same exact words/points, when trying to defend the WTS attorny in Steven Unthank's case, noting the Faithful and Descreet was a "Theocratic Arrangement" and "Not A Real Group Of People".

  I personally think in time, they are going to send out their new light stating that the number is not a literal number and is symbolic number which was obvious to many (other then the GB) years ago.....

  These are NOT wise men. They are blindly leading many and forcing their own interpetations on Millions of people.

  We pretty much had a feeling they were going to stop printing the numbers for obvious reasons, however, for them now to actually do it...embarrasing

  The latest scripture based research evidently points to the fact that when Jesus spoke about the "faithful and discreet slave" appearing in our twentieth century, we had ( more new light spinning ) in mind a 'theological concept' of worldwide proportions. We, therefore, as the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, do not keep a list of all partakers, for we do not maintain a global network of anointed ones. Thus, meticulously counting all emblem partakers is not necessary as this does not represent the number of anointed ones on earth. Our upcoming 2013 Yearbook will reflect these changes in understanding and cease publishing the number of partakers.

  What we do know is that there will be some of the anointed “slaves of our God” on earth when the destructive winds of the great tribulation are released. (Rev. 7:1-3) Until then, the anointed will take the lead in something that is well-documented by our annual service report—the greatest preaching and teaching work in human history. As part of the King’s belongings, they are happy to cooperate fully with the arrangements made by the Governing Body, which represents “the faithful and discreet slave.”

  The Two Trees - My Genesis Ponderings

  by cedars in

  2. beliefs

  i've just posted a new blog article to jwstruggle.com on the link below:.

  http://www.jwstruggle.com/2012/03/the-two-trees-my-genesis-ponderings/.

  the purpose behind the article is to explore my own doubts and long-standing confusion over the genesis narrative - particularly the events surrounding adam and eve's expulsion from eden, and the "two trees" (namely the "tree of life" and the "tree of the knowledge of good and bad").. in my article i discuss my confusion over what the exact properties of the "tree of the knowledge of good and bad" may have been, and the fact that evidently by eating of the fruit adam and eve did not become sinful but more godlike.

  What about this? The universe is HUGE and from what I understand nothing stays the same. Stars die as well as planets. From what I hear, our sun will eventually die too. Did Adam and Eve's choice effect the entire universe too?

  Not sure if you've heard yet, but a new earth like planet, is forming as we speak. They're calling it a Super Earth or Waterworld. Crazy huh?!

  http://news.yahoo.com/type-alien-planet-steamy-waterworld-162802250.html

  I'm not sure if humans were supposed to live forever. But on the other hand, with new stem cell research, I'm finding it could actually be possible.

  Adam and Eve had to eat in order to live, that's why they had all the other trees to eat to their satisfaction. If they hadn't, might they have died anyway? But then again maybe not, maybe they ate to fuel themselves into immortality?

  I think story maybe legend of human origin which was highly distorted by the writer, or an allegory.

  They shouldn't have ate from the naughty tree....
