The Governing Body

.

do you think the top men (the governing body) of the wts really believe they are proclaiming the truth??

or do you think some of them know the wts is a bunch of bunk.....and just don't care??.

I feel that they do know they're wrong, but somehow someway maybe this sytem will end soon and in that way no one willl ever find out that they were wrong, wrong about 607bce and them not being the FDS. They can't just go and admit it to everyone, they have too much to loose. I think they are playing a waiting game, to see how far they can stretch their theology and keep it going till the end does come, but has time ticks on and the world is still here it will get harder and harder.

Once you start to pay more then $25 for a bottle of Red or White, then you start paying for the Name.

tricky, eh?

questions from readers: november 15, 1974 .

do lewd practices on the part of a married person toward that one?s own mate constitute a scriptural basis for the offended mate to get a divorce?

Rick Aust

Englishman! Your problem is that your trying to be logical and reasonable! You silly man.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

george santayanna, a noted philosopher, coined the phrase: "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

" how many of us on this board believe this is true?

the jews certainly have made an extensive effort to keep the world abreast of their holocaust.

I think your right realist. 6 million Jews died, and we never stop hearing about it, 7 million Polish died but we never hear a word about it.

I am an aussie, and I love the wines here, red or white. price is a good guide, but they're all good. I'm not sure what brands are available in the USA. "Brown Brothers" is a good brand, "Taylors" is another good brand. "Penfolds". None are bad, so I'm sure none will disappoint. I've treid the french & italian wines (i'm Italian too ) and i wasn't impressed, I like the full flavored dry Cab Sav, and the ones here are great.

I was batized at 25yo. I was a catholic before. What make me change? well... the WT does have its good points, firstly it does expose the lies of the other religions, e.g. Trinity, Hell fire, Eternal Soul, but then only replaces them with other lies, which by the way the WTS does a better job of hiding them from the R&F then the catholics have done. The lies of the WTS are things like. Jesus coming in 1914, and them being the FDS, and of course all the mind control that they claim is Bible based.

I beleive that most people like me get batized because they are happy to hear the truths that the WTS tell you about the bible at the begining, but they push batiztism. They convince you that all others are telling you lies and not to listen to those who disagree with them. Of course once your batized its all done under the threat of disfellowshipping, you've being 'encouraged' to change your friends because they don't love Jehovah and are therefore under Satans' control, thereby giving Disfellowshiping maximum effects. I could go on but i'll leave it up to others now.
