Posted on my wall above my desk - and a firm reminder of how far afield the WTS was in theological thinking;
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus John 14:6

There was a time line (table of nations I think----son of * son of * son of *) I don't remember where it was exactly in Genesis but one time my friend and I were sitting together at the hall and he pointed out one of the names and it was Peleg. So we thought of Pee Leg and started crying laughing.
Needless to say, we gotta beatin' that night.

I John 2:27 And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you, but one to be teaching you; but, as the anointing from him is teaching you about all things, and is true and is no lie ....

This was a text I shared with my elderly Mother in 2002. She asked me "what are you saying? That we don't need the Watchtower?"
I said, "Mom, I never wrote this, but it was John, the Apostle". Then I read her 1 Tim 3:16,17 "All Scripture..." and said if it is inspired and beneficial and completely equips us yadyada, then what place is there for the WT?
Anyway after that futile conversation I got a call from a local JW elder who wanted me to come to a JC. I agreed to come (beard and jeans) to see who my accusers were. Guess who my lone accuser was?
So they Df'd me on my own mothers testimony and yet victims of molestation are made to produce two witnesses!
Good to be out though isn't it?

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
I have so many favorites.

Isaiah I:18- It goes something like " Come and let us make matters straight, say's Jehovah. Although your sins are scarlet they will become white like snow, though crimson they shall be like wool - something like that. That's a favorite of mines. Everytime I felt down and out about meeting up to all the WTS rules, I'd read that.

[From Revelation 21:1-8]
Then, I saw a new heaven and a new earth
And I heard a great voice from the throne saying:
"Behold the dwelling of God is with men
He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people
And God himself will be with them
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes
And death shall be no more
Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore
For these things will have passed away
To the thirsty I will give water without price
From the fountain of the water of life
He who conquers shall have this heritage
And I will be his God and he shall be my son
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted
As for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars
Their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone."
[from Revelation 22:10-13]
"Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near
Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy
And the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy
Behold, I am coming soon
