last night...someone dear to my heart passed away.
Dolphin,
IMHO you should go pay your respects, If anyone tries to interogate you or your hubby, just say, I m to devestated to talk about anything right now say sorry, and walk away or look away don't give them a chance to make an appointment with you to talk or anything, just be firm and say NO. It's your life!

says that if you think you're going to heaven, think again!
you're probably either emotional because a mate or close friend died, or on medication, or are looking for special recognition, because of bible knowledge.so don't even think about it!!
Elsewhere,
I posted a question in this thread
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=44139&site=3
which I typed in WORD first, the paragraphing was perfect, but when I pasted it in the forum, it all goes haywire...why?
What can i do to stop that, without typing directly into the forum.

I thought that the memorials are to stop after their Royal Hinnyses were all gone. at least that's what I heard.
the watchtower society teaches that jesus christ is the mediator only for the "anointed" jw's and that the "anointed" jw's are the "mediators" for all of the "other sheep".. the bible says jesus is the one mediator for all men:.
1st timothy 2:5: for there is one god, and one mediator between god and men, the man christ jesus
Ok I have a questionbased on the following
*** The Watchtower, Issue, Pages 15-20 ***
"You Were Bought With a Price"
8 Hence, the ransom sacrifice is fundamental to the new covenant, of which Jesus is the Mediator. Paul wrote: "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all - this is what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times." (1 Timothy 2:5, 6) Those words especially apply to the 144,000, with whom the new covenant is made.
This is purely a logistics question.
After the New Covenant was brought in, in the first century, every person becoming a follower of Christ, and accepting Him as The son of God would have in affect been made part of the New Covenant, therefore being a member of the FDS (144,000).
How many Christians would have amassed, lets say until the apostle John died? Even better lets say the first 300 years after the covenant was born?
Surely there would have to have been at least 144,000 faithful Christians partaking of the emblems!
If the above statement is true, all those early Christians are now in heaven, well at least 144,000 of them. As established Kings and Priests in heaven next to Christ, so are we to understand that some of those 144,000 are dropping away now, that they are in heaven with Christ, and therefore need topping up every now and then?
I dont know if I worded this correctly so that you can understand what Im getting at, but in short, wouldnt have all the 144,000 positions next to Christ been filled LONG before the (b)org came into existence? Or did Christ have to wait till the 19 th century?
Ok I throw this question open to all ye wise ones :)

bee gee fans gather at hospital.
fans of the bee gees gathered outside the hospital where singer maurice gibb is being treated after suffering a heart attack.
i have been da'd for almost 20 years from a congregation in wa i was 18 at the time.
i wanted to leave but the elders would not let me drift away because i knew to many people who were jw's, they told me to either come to every meeting for a month, or they would da me, so i missed the next meeting and they anounced that i was da'd.
the sad thing is that no jw ever knew what happened they all thought that i da'd myself even my sister, but oh well!!!!
and I asked them if they knew that being a glutten was a SIN.
LMAO from that I gather they were fat slobs...LOL...did they answer?
However your first mistake was, you went to their Home Ground, you always make then come to you, or tell them NO deal dudes....lol
After 20 years, just let it go...they're not worth it...bunch of Hippo Hypocrites...lol
