The Best Fade Ever
by Farkel ini noticed there are current topics on fading so i thought i would re-share my own fade.
i will be brief.. my straw that broke the camel's back was from an arrogant asshole circuit overseer while i was a ministerial servant and pioneer.
i will save you the details.

If you believe God exists, what are your thoughts on what pleases him most?
by Fernando inour family has come to believe that god really wants each individual to personally and independently seek, find and walk with him - quite apart from what other humans say, think, believe or do.. we believe we were created as semi-autonomous beings.
when our inner compass is recalibrated, and we then self-direct, the outcomes seem best.. when we are instead led by humans, their hierarchies, organisations and ideas, the outcomes on the whole seem unfavourable.
legalism (rules), moralism (a moral code), ethnocentrism (doctrine), and gnosticism (knowledge) may seem meritorious.. yet these do not seem to lead to the deep inner transformation needed.

Christ's 'silence' on slavery.
by tec inone of the accusations against christ that some people make to me from time to time is that christ never spoke out against slavery, and so he must condone it.. i would submit that slavery (the forcible enslaving of your fellow man)... is not the root problem.
it is merely a symptom of the root problem.
christ came to deal with the root.

Abraham is not a son of God? So says the elder
by biometrics infollowing from my other thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/240360/1/nebuchadnezzars-accession-year-in-625-b-c-e. the elder made a statement that i knew was wrong, but wasn't sure where to look in the bible.. he said 'abraham was a friend of god, not a son of god' and he used this point to show that 'brothers' mentioned in matthew 25:31-46 (least of my brothers) can only mean the anointed (144,000).
and we will be judged eternally by our attitude toward the gb/watchtower.. this morning i found in luke 3:33 that abraham is listed as a 'son of god' by his lineage from adam.. the son of isaac, the son of abraham,.
the son of terah, the son of nahor,.

What about the bible?
by Strawberryfieldsforever ini was remembering a conversation i had recently with my mom when she was still talking to me.
i asked her why the jw's keep getting new light on different teachings.
she told me that man is imperfect and needs to be corrected by jehovah time to time to get the teachings right.. well, i started thinking......man was imperfect when he wrote the bible, right?

What is the New Light?
by JustHuman14 inhi everyone.
i haven't visited the forum for quite a long time, and specially when it has changed before 2 years(my previous avatar was justhuman, since 2001), but i couldn't retrieve my account after the change of the forum, so i create a similar avatar.. so i didn't had time to look what's going on in the wt world, for at least 2 years( i was busy building my carreer to the titanic) and i just pop in to ask what are the new developments in wt world.
any new lights that the gb came across with, or god directed them to present to the flock at the apropriate time?.
