COC WHO DECIDED THAT IT IS AN APOSTATE BOOK !
by Blueblades ini know the society did.but on what basis?
have they given evidence of any apostate material from crises of conscience,that stands up?ray was disfellowedshipped for eating a meal with peter and that is not apostascy.
so,on what basis is the book declared apostate material.i have not found any evidence from the society that points to apostate material from the book itself.surely they must of read it to make such an announcement to the rank and file not to read it.

DOES " NON-- ANOINTED mean NON--CHRISTIAN ?"
by Blueblades infrom the february 15, 2003 watchtower magazine,the following implications are shown about the non-"born again" ( 144,000 ) jehovah's witnesses,which comprise over 99% of the organization.. ( 1) they are not anointed -- they are "...others in addition to christ's anointed followers..." (p.19, # 9 ).
( 2 ) they are not sons of god--"...anointed christians that they...'are god's children'...god's spirit gives them a sense of sonship towards him..."( p.21, # 18 ).
( 3 ) they are not led by the spirit--"...spirit-anointed and should partake of the memorial emblems...'all who are led by the spirit are sons of god'...( romans 8:14 ) " ( p.19, # 7 ).

Concluding--Imprisoned Ideas.
by Blueblades inwhat is the moral to be drawn from all of this?.
one moral,it would not be wholly facetious to suggest,might be that the first rule for an organization should be a rule providing for its dissolution within a limited period of time.
"this oganization shall be dissolved not later than...".

Continuing --Imprisoned Ideas # 7
by Blueblades in.
among the rank and file many things combine to keep them in the organization,even when they become uneasily conscious that there is a dawning,and even a yawning gap between organization and idea.first there is the force of inertia.it is easier not to resign than resign.drift is easier than decision.next there is the factor of sentiment.. all of us tend to project onto the organization of which we are members,the virtue we would like it to have,and to be blind to its defects.and ,finally,men are gregarious creatures and dislike falling out of the ranks away from the comrades of years.. gradually the organization changes.as it changes it attracts new elements which approve the change.not because of conscious calculations,which comes much later,when the idea has been deserted,but because the organization developes its own logic,its own "raison d'etre",and because men tend to become the prisoners of the organization,the organization can finish up by standing for the precise opposite of the idea which called it into being.

Continuing--IMPRISONED iDEAS # 6

another element is this:prophets always stand a good chance of being bumped off.this chance is increased if they come down from the hills into the marketplace,and still further increased if they come down unarmed.prophets should only go unarmed into the marketplace if they think that their work is done,and are prepared to depart hence.. some prophets take to arms.even where the orginal prophet does not,his disciples may do so.the devil must be fought with the devil's weapons.this argumentatively sound but practically disastrous.for it means that the servants of god,the disciples of the idea,tend to descend to the devil's level.as the organization grows,it deteriorates.its leaders are not the men they were.
