My Walmart encounter with the dubs today

yup, there were 3 of them camped out in front of the store with their display of materials - first time i've seen them there.

he said he converted 5 years ago from the presbyterians, and that he had learned more in 1 year with the jws than all his time with the presbyterians (the usual stuff, jesus died on a stake, paradise earth, etc).

he claimed he didn't know about the invisible return of jesus, he was dismissive of the impact of disfellowshipping and that people can leave with little consequence, he claimed that the romans didn't use a cross until 200 years after jesus died on the stake.

Is "Old Light" really called independent thinking?
by I_love_Jeff in
1. jw
2. friends
when "old light" becomes "new light" sometime down the line the "new light" will eventually become old.

i do realize the superiors use passages (aka word magic) to explain such a big change.

what would be the difference between holy spirit revelation vs. man's opinion in this particular situation?

the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".

my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.
