    Just a word to the wise. Let's not go mixing up this clown with another poster on this board whose username is "Scotsman".

    I find it hard to believe this is one of my fellow countrymen... unless he's a Glasgie ned...

    We bring up the past, so what? The Society deny some of the things that they said/did.

    We moan, and? So do you...

    Definitely "a wake up call to those spiritually asleep"Thanks for getting the ball rolling...

    Another great tactic is what I call the “half quote”. This is when someone quotes part of a sentence, out of context so as to change its meaning. For misleading partial quotes in the Society's publications please refer to Alan F's extensive research @ http://corior.blogspot.com/ and Dr. Mantey's letter of complaint and cease and desist to the Society @ http://www.macgregorministries.org/jehovahs_witnesses/dr_mantey_lt.html and evolution misquotes @ http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2437/misquote.htm and Trinity booklet misquotes @ http://home.comcast.net/~neirr/believeintrinity.htm

    It appears to happen here every day!!!

    Tell me this -

    Are the faithful and discreet slave wrong about –

    70 weeks of years. see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/55372/1.ashx

    Gentile times.

    The image of Nebuchadnezzar dream.

    The king of the North and South.

    That these are the last days.

    Jesus died on a “Stake”. see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/92381/1.ashx

    The trinity is pagan in origin.

    Gods Kingdom set up in 1914. see some 1914 stuff @ http://www.pfo.org/notsonew.htm

    Armageddon is Gods war.

    Paradise awaits the righteous.

    144000 go to heaven. see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/96705/1.ashx

    Resurrection to Earth for most.

    Everlasting life for faithful humans.

    The fall of Babylon the Great.

    Those are all the references I have handy at the moment. Hope they might be useful...to someone reading...

    This was a funny post by someone who deeply hangs on every letter of the Society's Doctrines. I remember how zealous I used to be for the Org until my eyes were opened and the light became brighter for me to see the truth. How funny it is that the teachings and wordsmithing of the society can be used against them as well. You know, that is the common mistake that almost all witnesses make when they hear some disturbing truth about the society, they all ask, "Where will we go?" It is a safety blanket for them so that they don't feel responsible for their own actions or be held accountable to GOD for their own minds. It is sad though, because they don't have to go anywhere, they only need to open up their hearts and allow the love of The Christ to enter them and be filled with a wonderful, lightly yoked, spirit. But they allow their eyes to be made dim and when someone comes along and wipes away the grime, the bright light of truth hurts their eyes and they go back to the darkness, because they feel more comfortable there.
    We will all have to answer for our actions or lack thereof when the time comes.

    The Watchtower has it wrong.......stop reading those books they give you and read the scriptures. Ask God's Holy Spirit to bring the light to you with understanding.

    Scotty when you start to think for yourself you will find that the doomsday cult that has molded your thinking is wrong. I can tell you how my beliefs differ, I can tell you how many mainstream scholar's Bible interpretations differ from the WTBTS, but will you care? No.

    You have decided that the good old boys of the WTBTS are somehow higher beings than you or I and all Bible scholars that ever were. That they alone can know how to understand the bible, when the truth is; they are just mere men like you. Nothing special or annointed except in their own minds. They are victims of victims and followers of followers. New Light only happens when they get in trouble like erroneously setting dates.

    We go into the past because if you do not know history, you are doomed to make the same mistakes. Had I known the TRUE history of the WTBTS, I would have found FREEDOM much much sooner.

    In Christian love~Kate

    This site is full of moaners!!!!

    While this site is not 100 percent completely devoid of moaning, this was indeed the first bit of moaning I read today. Kind of ironic.
