Has anyone ever been to a Christadelphian meeting?
by twinkletoes insince i have been out of the jws, i have found the freedom to look into other beliefs.
i remember when i was in the org.
how they used to say that the christadelphians are so similar in beliefs to the jws that they must be controlled by satan, especially as they do not beleive in satan as a person/individual.

Tax Loophole and Donations to be changed ?
by twinkletoes inaccording to the guardian newspaper february 9th there is an article re: "museums fight to keep tax loopholes".
"the piece of tidying up by the treasury, barely noticed in the chancellor's pre-budget statement in december, is estimated to lose the museum sector 10 million pounds per year.. this appears to work by visitors, agreeing to make a donation equal to the admisssion fee, and in return they were nominally admitted free...thus enabling the museums to recover the tax on the "gifts i.e.
donations, ".

Kaytee & Twink's "Resignation" letter
by twinkletoes inthis was the second letter given to elders that turned out to be a "resignation" letter.
this was, as you will see, because they chose not to answer any of our questions.
the reason we are posting our letter, is because it is now obvious (by personal experiences) that ones who we thought were our friends are now choosing to shun us.

memorial tomb or grave ?
by twinkletoes inthe jw bible states at john 5:28.
...all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..... this scripture was used (by jws) to show that only those in god's memory would be due a resurrection.. in our recent independant research, using 4 other bibles, this is how that same scripture was translated -.
...all those in the grave will hear his voice and come out.... why did they (the society) have to add to this scripture, giving a totally different meaning to the original understanding.. bibles used were.

Presiding Overseer - is this a permanent position ?
by twinkletoes incan anyone tell me if the "position" of presiding overseer is one which changes every few years or is it now a "life time position".
my old congregation has recently had a visit from the co and the po appears to have been removed - could be very interesting :).

Help - what is the very latest on blood transfusions?
by twinkletoes inwe are in the process of writing our final letter to the elders, which will no doubt end in our disfellowshipping or disassociation, and require some up to date info on the blood issue.. due to the wbts policy on blood over the years and my acceptance of it, i almost lost two of my sons at birth.
i am amazed at the u-turn on this blood policy by the org.
and feel very bitter about all that they have taught us for the last thirty years.

Born Again - what do they believe ?
by twinkletoes inwe have neighbours who have been very sincere "born again" christians, for about ten years.
i know that quite a number of you on this forum are also born again, but my question is, just what do you believe?, i understand that you don't have any particular denomination and appear to join any church service as you wish.
when i used to go out on "field service", i seemed to get different understandings of the scriptures, from born again christians, some seemed to be of the opinion that they would be taken up into heaven and armageddon would wipe the earth clean and then they would be put back on the earth, others seemed to think that they would go to heaven and stay there ?
