  And furthermore, trying to insult me on my large size says more about you than about me.

  I think that comment made about you was uncalled for and a hit below the belt ,you have every right to be offended by such a comment .

  I would hope you are big enough to ignore such comments and not tar all of us with the same brush.

  Nobody believed or had more faith in the JW organization than I did MissMary in my 32 years as a convert bringing up my 2 boys in the religion ,please do yourself a favour and at least look at the reasons why those who left and see for yourself whether they are justifiable reasons.

  And not just label them as Apostates and dismiss them.

  take care.

  Always Obey

  the life story in the latest wt has a running theme that keeps popping up: if the organization tells you to do something, you do it.

  this culminates in the following anecdote:.

  we were staying in abrother’s home right next to a kingdom hall.. .

  Your kidding me ,seriously?

  ‘The brothers are too busy to

  notice that I am taking a bath.

  Pull the other leg!! ???

  As you say it certainly is a strange example to use ,I bet there are still workers at that KH getting their jollies just picturing that bath memory in their heads.

  Once seen you cannot unsee it.

  LoveNinja,

  road to nowhere4 hours ago

  Some of us are active but recognize flaws in the teaching and, administration. Even some elders in addition to us hangers on for family reasons

  Of course there are some active JW`s here ,that`s why we are so up to date with what is going on in the JW religion for the reasons given to you above.

  So welcome, LoveNinja ,I hope you stick around as you will learn far more about the Jehovah`s Witness religion than what you would by going to a kingdom Hall or having a Bible study with a practicing JW.

  "Great Crowd" important detail glossed over

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest study wt gives another glowing report from rutherford's time:.

  in his talk, brother rutherford identified those whowould make up the “great multitude” (king james ver-sion), or “great crowd,” mentioned at revelation 7:9. un-til then, this group was thought to be a secondary heav-enly class that was less faithful.

  brother rutherford usedthe scriptures to explain that the great crowd are notchosen to live in heaven, but they are christ’s othersheep who will survive “the great tribulation”.

  Either for or against signing this petition

  Nobody interested in signing this type of petition ?

  It doesn`t only apply to residents of the UK does it ? Anybody can sign it ?

  Re the up-coming American election, a pretty interesting video ...

  "The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and an absolute majority of electoral votes, 270 or more, is required to win the election. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution requires each state legislature to determine how electors for that state are to be chosen, and it disqualifies any person holding a federal office,

  So what`s the bloody point of giving the American citizens the right / privilege to vote if the Electoral college can overide the majority opinion of voters ?

  "A democracy is a vote by the people for the people"

  If the majority of American citizens took the time,energy, and effort to vote for candidate "A" and the rest of American citizens for one reason or another refuse to vote ,then the Electoral college chooses candidate "B" that`s a travesty of justice and un democratic , a farce , a gerrymander.

  But on further investigation ,I find that both the Republican party and the Democrat party are both happy to leave that situation as it is , and as far as I can tell so do the majority of the American people,all I can say then is ,

  You Deserve the president You Get. Whoever that may be.

  2. beliefs

  here is one of the many commandments jesus instructed his twelve apostles to keep, follow, and obey!.

  here is anthony morris ( supposedly selected by jehovah to keep, follow and obey the sayings of jesus ) name-calling and condemning enemies!

  the pharisees used to label people as well.

  oppostate ,

  Several YouTube activists have made videos of their denouncing Tony's video by filing official complaints according with their respective national laws.

  I wish someone could download those u-tube videos ,that`s something I would like to see.
