Hey passwordprotected......
I have a few questions for you..... re costing you..... have you ever made stock market investments?..... accepted a job offer out of several?...... bet on a horse?.... taken an alternate road that looked shorter on a map?....etc......
You make the wrong choice...... you lose money...... the great sounding job turns into a horror show...... you lose the bet on the horse..... you lose time on a road trip...... like I say.... it'll cost yuh.....
and that is ALL I said...... followed by....... I GUESS ........ now, if I only guess what do you think the answer might be to your guestion about my having Biblical answers to whether or not following the governing body will cost yuh?.......
You know, what I see is a LOT of opinionating on this site....... opinions are just that...... they are NOT fact...... and well...... any opinionating that I do is generally in the form of a question or followed or prefaced with something like I guess..... and a guess is just that...... a guess..... definitely NOT NECESSARILY (although a correct one could later prove to be) fact
Seems to me like ...... I am DARING to disagree with several of you here..... hmmm......... but isn't that what this is all about?..... several of you disagree with the WTBTS and its official teachings..... and I disagree with you..... does that make several of you right?...... and then by extension, me wrong?........ is it all about only one of me and several of you so the majority is deemed to be correct?...... if so, I got news for you.... if any of us are correct and it has any value at all, I would say being correct plus a buck and a half will almost get you a large coffee somewhere....
I stand by what I say tho'...... being wrong costs yuh...... exactly what it costs ou tho'...... I am not in a position speculate on......
And to Am...... I am in the position I am due to my "invoking the Borean Clause"........ I question alot ........ I examine the scriptures daily to make sure the things I am being taught are in fact so........ apparently making me, in a sense, a noble minded person........ and to my way of looking at it, opinionating goes on at the highest levels in the WTBTS as well as at all other levels..... it is what I have railed about for years..... but, I also stand by something I alluded to in an earlier post....... In a figurative sense, I have, at times been told that I will have to drink human blood and eat human flesh.... shocking sounding?....... yes !!!!!!........ I protest and disagree....... yet I await clarification
anyway, take care all
