Did anyone notice on the Panorama programme that 'our Ted' and the minders that rushed to 'protect' him from the tv camera, were wearing very expensive tailored suits.
I wonder where the money for those came from?

apostasy
apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of god, actually a rebellion against jehovah god.
Apologies to all for my stupid spelling mistake.
Please change 'cry' to 'say'

if...... you had to choose just one to have for the rest of your life, which would it be?
affection or sex?
by affection here i mean snuggling, kissing, hand holding, all the little things.
Affection it lasts longer.
Sexual relese you can do on your own.
Self affection means you have to become a member of the GB.
(Strange how the GB are refered to as 'MEMBERS' is this FREUDIAN?)

the nwt is a trnslation of the bible.(jw).
the jw's believe that something is only true if there are two witnesses.. the question is... why do the jw's belive that the nwt is a 'true translation' when there is only one witness to it.

Thanks for the link.
The trouble with the divine name is that no-one now knows the vowels that were originaly used so this leaves the problem of re-inserting, eg.
JEHOVAH
YEHOVAH
YAHWEH
JAHWEH etc.
Out of all the possible combinations possible, (about 14 i think), how can anyone say that they have the right one? The 'research dept.' must have used a ouija board or something.
Does'nt make any kind of sense to me.

the awake for 22.8.02 has the picture of a man being buried in garbage and the headline is...'garbage...will it bury us?.
well the math shows how true this is.. page of awake mag is 18cm x 23cm or 414 sq.
cm or 0.0414 sq m.. 32 pages per issue = 1.3248 sq.
I cannot see why they are worried.
The end is comming 'SOON' so the big clear-up after armagedon will sort out the problem.

it's been said many times that bethel monitors this board.
if they do, what do you think they're thinking?
do you think this board could cause a staunch bethelite to question things?
It seems to me that checking out such places as this board is the way that the gb gets 'new light'.
Seems like every flash of new light has come directly after a wrong policy, or whatever is discussed on boards like this one.
Seems like God uses opposers to 'brighten the truth'.

charles russell the first president of the watchtower believed and taught that the anointed ones, which are the 144,000 who go heaven, began to be chosen just as soon as the church began, and by the end of the first century most of them were chosen.
the watchtower of february 1, 1975, page 84 reiterated that jehovah god started selecting the 144,000 nineteen hundred years ago.
history tells us that this persecuted church continued for several centuries, so there were many years during which the true church existed and expanded.
Good post.
Unfortunatley you posted it, now they will read it, recieve new light, and have an answer on the doors.
It never fails to amaze me that most (if not all) of the new light is in response to what 'opposers' have pointed out in relation to WT teachings.
Perhaps Jehovah has a use for 'opposers' after all?

here is a written 'view' of the video - if you listen carefully, you will hear all the holes in it.. fyi - rodney starks few comments are in caps.
my comments are in [brackets].
(wts) 'dfing is a procedure which is laid down in the bible, whereby a person who sins very seriously against god and against the congregation and who refuses to repent, refuses to change, abandon the wrong way is informed that they're no longer a part of the christian congregation'..
