Satan's world--how is it possible for a jw to think that Satan is the "god of this system of things" yet it doesn't mean that all non-jws are worshipping Satan?
So strange this teaching of theirs! It seems to go contrary to their teaching that Jehovah is the Almighty God. Their literature seems to indicate that Satan has equal power - no wonder that dubs are running scared of Satan!
They take the text about Satan being ruler of the world way out of context - but that's nothing new, eh?
You've got West Ham coming in a few weeks!
About time they won something. In the past it's been, "Always the bridesmaid, never the bride!"
i have heard from my father (who is an elder about 50 years old) that there is a great seperating work going on within the org.
he said that almost all of the people my age 25 to 35 have quit going to our hall (about 20 people).
i have not been to a meeting in about 1 year.
G'day thebigdebate and Welcome Aboard!
It's great to have yet another poster from downunder.
Your report of meeting attendance is very interesting (encouraging!) ~ my impression is that mid-week meetings of all kinds (book study included) are becoming a wasteland as far as attendances go and your report seems to confirm it. reminds me of the saying, "Suppose someone called a war, and no-one came!"
Service overseers putting in dummy reports is not an isolated occurrence - many do that, not just for their relatives either!

i just received this email.
i don't see this flying for this election, but if obama wins, it might open the door for changing laws in the future concerning who can be eligible for the presidency and who cannot.
old, at the time of barack obama's birth for him to have been a. natural-born citizen.
The forum is not going to be turned into a republican propaganda machine as the election approaches.
Any propaganda posted will be locked or deleted.
i can't believe 6 years have gone by.
geeze, i figured i'd be in the new cistern of tings by now.......
well done, Mary! We're glad you're here.
are there any beliefs that you learned from the witnesses that you still believe in?
A good question, min !
It got me thinking. Let's see:
God? Yes, certainly, but not the same Jehovah God they teach.
Jesus? certainly, but not the same Jesus they teach.
Holy spirit? certainly, but not the "active force™" they teach
Erm, what else?......
Oh, yes, Armageddon? don't be silly!
New system? Huh?
"Faithful & discreet slave™" ? No, I don't believe in that cult.
Blood transfusions? Nope, don't agree with their prohibitions on that one.
I think I'm coming to the same conclusion that Jeff did.....NO!!!!
pardon my ignorance - but does anyone know where abaddon is - he has not posted for nearly 8 months.

i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.
i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.
i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.
Time out, people.
restrangled: watch it!
