Billy; Let me know if they end the funeral service with the line " some here today may live forever." Yeah, I heard that line at a service last year. Obviously, the dead sister didn't make the cut.

I'm waiting for the "Mr. Fusion" device that was on the Delorean in "Back to the Future". Where is that cold fusion when we need it? Sure would like to watch the Middle East turn back into camel country.

unless yahweh intervenes quite soon, we're gonna have the technological essence of the purpose of the tower of babel..... and as you may recall, "nothing that they may have in mind to do will be unattainable for them".. godspeed to that.
no, it won't be skynet - but it might be the internet apotheosized!

As one of my teachers said years ago " Nothing is impossible. The impossible just takes a little longer." Thanks Mr. Cook.

Thanks all. I'm the grand dad. My youngest argues that I would never have listened when I was in, which is true. But lives change. Mine did. I'm hoping her's will too. She posted my granddaughter's first school assignment on her Facebook page. The thought of one more life damaged by this cult is almost too much to bear. My son-in-law is a great guy, but I doubt he would ever cross my daughter.

Hello all. I left several years ago & have one daughter still in. She's 32 & married to a nonbeliever. After I got labeled as an APOSTATE, she cut off all communication. Recently, they moved back into the area & I was considering sending at least one letter explaining my position. I mainly wanted to direct her to Paul's site as I couldn't argue any points better. I asked my youngest daughter who's inactive what she thought. She didn't think it was a good idea. I would hate to look back twenty years from now after my grandchildren have grown, wishing I had done something. Any advice or experiences?

As disciples of Jesus, JW's recognize the authority of Jesus Christ as exercised through "the faithful and discreet slave." - Our Kingdom Ministry
by wannabefree inyep, that was in the may 1986 okm.. i was sitting on the floor, going through my binder of old km's looking at the ones from the year i came into the truth cult ... it's funny (in a pathetic way) how nothing has really changed (well, except for new or brighter light stuff).
twenty-six years ago it was just as much a cult as it is today .. and i couldn't see it.. the article goes on to say .... "keep in mind that we are helping bible students to become disciples of jesus christ and not disciples of ourselves".
... since jesus' exercises his authority through "the faithful and discreet slave", i guess it would also be accurate to say "keep in mind that we are helping bible students to become disciples of the faithful and discreet slave and not disciples of ourselves".

You never get a straight answer about who's to blame for the mistakes. If they are indeed "authorized" by Christ, then Jesus has to take the fall. Yet blaming Jesus for changed doctrine that ruined lives violates the "the law of love." So they are left on the horns of a dilemma. If Jesus is not responsible, then the JW's are following men. They might do just as well following Ronald McDonald. (Might get a free hamburger.)

Who did Jesus command to preach, the anointed or the great crowd?
by matt2414 inwhen one becomes filled with the knowledge of the promised earthly paradise under christ's kingdom, one wants to share it with others.
it is good news!acts 5:41, 42.. doing this is an important way of showing that you are a disciple of jesus christ.
in the bible, jesus is called "the faithful and true witness.

Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?
by FaithfulBrother ini know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.
and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).
but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?
