Why the bible does'nt make sense to me
by Leander infor some odd reason this morning when i woke up the first thing that came into my mind was the suffering and pain that humans deal with on a daily basis.
again i'm not really sure what made me think about that so early in the morning.
(maybe it was a dream i had).

Control Tactics
by joelbear ini posted in another thread that the control tactics are probably ones of the things we look back on with a range of sadness to anger.
here are a short list of control tactics i found harmful as one of jehovah's witnesses and whose wounds i still need healing from.. 1. shunning.
clearly the most destructive control tactic.

Does anyone remember a scrip "masters over...
by Leander ini'm not certain but it seems like there was a scripture that went something like we are not masters over your faith.
it might have been paul or maybe one of the other disciples talking to a congregation.
i can't quite remember exactly where its at.. does anyone know what i'm talking about?

Does the light of truth really get brighter?
by sleepy inheres a way that i think shows that the witness idea that the "light is getter brighter " is flawed.. the reason often given for it being the case that jehovahs only reveals things graduly is that if he revealed things all at once it would be too much for a person to take.they would be "blinded" by the knowledge.. so on this reasoning then we must concluded that before 1995 people were not able to cope with the idea that "this generation" was not talking about poeple born in 1914, the light would have blinded them.. in that case why does this new light not blind people who come into the religon today?.
they have gone straight from the "darkness" into the most resently revealed light surely they must be blinded and would need first to learn all the past knowledge that is now considered wrong before they could cope with this new light.. this idea is so stupid.. children who are born today will learn straight away about the way the world works they will learn of gravity , spelling and maths in school.things that people living hundreds or thousands of years ago did not know.
since when has accurate knowledge "blinded" someone?.

Since I'm on my soapbox today - Sex vs The WTS
by Leander ini'm still trying to make sense out of sex and the so called bibical view by the wts.
i guess to be fair to a certain extent the wts is only trying to follow the bible's view about sex, but i often wonder if maybe the current understanding is incorrect.. lets examine homosexuality for a moment.
for a long time i've always beleived what the society has taught in that homosexuality is wrong.

Some things that annoy me about the WTS
by Leander ini'm still currently a jw myself and i'm serving as a minsterial servant in a limited capacity.
(a few weeks ago i was vocal about the doubts i've had and the elders made the decision to allow me to stay on as a ms but without giving talks) .
1. recently as in the last few years i've been paying more attention to the various members in the congregation and i've observed some interesting things.

What kind of angel was Satan?
by Leander inthe bible mentions several different types of angels.
seraphim, cherubs and the archangel who is referred to as jesus.. my question is what type of angel was satan?
i could be wrong but it seems that satan may have been a bit more powerful than many of the other angels.

Did the entire first century congregation preach?
by Leander ini've been wondering about that question for the past few weeks.
in my recollection it seems that the disciples were the primary ones engaged in the preaching work.
where the other members of the 1st congregation involved in that preaching work as well?
