well phizzy, thats what I am finding.
After being in the world and getting the tee shirt, I've started thinking about spirituality and or purpose apart from dollars.
At this stage dollars don't tempt but fulfillment of some type does ( for a confirmed batchelor) ha ha.
I am enjoying searching and researching what I never did earlier. The proof never was there as I see it now, but I will prove
this for myself without the influence of family or new found friends. Kind of sad when you see the facts are not there.

I have a question thats pertinent to where I attend.
Why is every body moving to other congregations but remaining in the old
congregation's territory?

Absolutely searcher,
the "missionary" levy should pick up at least a cool 12 million, conservatively speaking.
I have this feeling that the last couple of wt articles will lead to some aspect of tithing
given that it wasn't mentioned. Conspicuous by absence I reckon

Gotta share this experience.
Had a shepherding call from a lone sanctimonious elder.
He started banging on about the new light in john 17:3. Know Jehovah. This weeks wt study.
I let him roll on for a while then pulled out an old catholic douay version dated 1962.
Made sure he saw the cross on the front cover, he didn't want me to open it up ha ha
I insisted he would appreciate the comparison with Christendom's bible which of course renders
the translation "they shall k now you" . Classic, he wouldn't have it and said I should stop wasting my
time doing so much research and concentrate on the preaching work. So I asked him what scripture I
could use to prove the apparent overlapping generation teaching to a householder, given it had been a core teaching..
After some unrelated small talk and an attempt to offer a prayer on my behalf (that I declined) he left.
Just heard back from a dear friend that it has been suggested among the body of elders and minows that I need
to be watched for possible apostate leanings!!!!!!!
Geez, I'm trying to give this a fair go but it seems that there are serious flaws in 1 doctrine and 2 attitudes.
And now this weeks brochure study bangs on about the library in the kh.... mate its all out of date the way they are going.
I haven't shared my story here yet but suffice to say that in everything in life I believe in finding basis for faith or belief.
I've been out for 30 yrs and reckon it's worth proving for myself what is worth ascribing to. I was a born in and "walked"
when it got too hard to please people. As I told the elder, if I can't prove it to myself away from the percieved requirement
this time around then how can I prove it to someone else???

Caroline, the jw position is: one faith, one baptism, one lord as decreed by eight men in brooklyn.
In other words, there is no way to salvation outside of jw's. Don't matter what creed or faith you
have. In their view the jews were a bunch of mongrels. as are all who don't accept jw doctrine,
as I'm learning at an ever increasing pace.
