Thoughts After Saturday Morning Service
by lambsbottom inwent out with a good friend in service this morning.
my spouse and kiddos joined us.
me and my spouse are awake jws, have gotten over the initial shock and disgust with some of the lame wt doctrine, and are determined to let god direct us wherever he may (even to another church - i'm going to a baptist service tommorow).. we have fun doing a little bit of service with the kiddos, letting them watch deer, play with sticks, and write not-at-homes down.

Should I meet with the elders?
by winnie12 inso i posted my story somewhere on this board but long story short i have been expressing my doubts to my mom who is a jw.
i have been fading since december 2013 and went to a sunday meeting for the first time maybe two weeks ago.
i went only because i wanted to use the library that my hall has which had books published by the society from the early 1900's.

Why would Adam or Eve choose the tree of knowledge instead of the tree of life.
by smiddy inplease help me out here .. in genesis 2:16 it says " and jehovah god also laid this command upon the man: from every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.
17 but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it , for in the day you eat from it ,you will positively die.. ok we get that , but what about this ?.
wouldnt it make more sense to forbid the eating of the tree of life first ?

talked to wt. conductor about sundays study
by nowwhat? ini said i was concerned that they painted hezekiah as this champion of righteousness and how the article omitted when he paid tribute to assaria by looting the temple when he got scared.
and apparently he had an alliance with egypt, a pagan nation.
he said i was getting boged down with other references and missing the point.

SODOM AND GOMORRAH Matthew 11:24 Great Conversation Starter
by objectivetruth inmatthew 11:24 is a great scripture to use, when speaking with friends & family, that are still "blinded".
"24?consequently i say to you people, it will be more endurable for the land of sodom on judgment day than for you.".
the current understanding is that jesus was using hyperbole.

Collective Guilt, how dangerous is it?
by Momma-Tossed-Me ini will be writing a more comprehensive report on this topic but please give your thoughts on it.
i think that it has been used by some of the most ruthless dictators in history to control the public dialog within their countries.
it is a powerful tool that is very effective when paired with fear.
