just watching a show with gerald flurry on it and i thought his talk was appropriate.
it was regarding the prophecies of jeremiah re: rejection of ancient israel.. question i asked myself "could jehovah ever reject modern day spiritual israel?".
jeremiah 31:37. hosea 9:15-17 (all their badness was in bethel...)(princes = elders)(ephraim = governing body, fds, the borg).. from theapostleak
Excellent question. Back when I still believed it was the truth, I started wondering the same thing. The last time we studied "The Greatest Man" book this thought crossed my mind and fueled my lingering doubts. Fast forward a couple of years and I have to agree with Hippikon, "I think the question is did he ever accept them?"
The organization is always talking about how you have to have a solid foundation. What is now considered to be "the Truth" was founded on lies and anything but the truth.
i knew a presiding overseer in the congregation i attened who was possibly the strangest person i ever met.
he took a rigorous position toward the society's view on everything!!!
he was against many things ....including....science fiction, fantasy, the x-files, disneyland, cartoons and football.
There are just WAY too many to list.
I thought being weird was a requirement for baptism.
... and in any way you'd care to describe.
My mum-in-law...she eats, sleeps, breathes, and craps "the truth"
She has no vices, would never be disloyal to the organization/Jehovah (in her mind they are one in the same). She will disown any of her children that turn away from "the truth." I think you get the picture.
just put a full stop before the links and they will become active
how the hell do you do that, or rather what do you mean put a full stop.

i just saw this show on the scifi channel for the first time on monday night.
how entertaining!
if this guy is for real, i'm amazed.
I've seen him a couple of times myself. I think if you watch him he can narrow things down. He will start of with something like, "I'm picking up someone who's name is John, Joe, Joey," then the person will say "I have an uncle Joe that passed away recently." Pure bunk!
Reagan, I feel exactly like you though when you said, "I still haven't come to terms with my beliefs on existence after death, I'm working through too many other things right now to concentrate on this yet. I'm still of the "dead=asleep" class."
Someday, maybe someone will teach me how they can transfer what someone wrote previously in the small form. Right now I just copy and paste.
we had a minor breakthrough in the family this week.
my eldest son's wife is the only one of my little family still attending anything to do with jw's.
last weekend she attended friday at the district convention, with her sister, her sister's 12 year old daughter, and my two grandsons, 6 years and 8 months.. two things happened there:.
Mulan, didn't mean to leave you out. I'm so glad for you that someday maybe your whole family will be free.

I think you look 12 too. Better was out for the pedophiles, oh, I forgot, you don't go to the KH anymore. You're safe!
i only use this expression when something big is forth coming.
within the next four days another major news story will hit the papers regarding the pedophile issue and jw's.
as soon as i have the go ahead we will release the details here, so stay tuned and you can hear it first here.
Now I can go to work with a smile on my face.
Thanks for the laugh.
