The GB have over 7 million witness under their control, with the streamlining, cost reduction and property sales, they really care less about a million or so leaving the org within the next 2 years.

"I realized they were not worthy of my trust"
Hey, show some respect, you. They're worthy of our trust because Jehovah and Jesus trust them. I know because they said so themselves. Plus they insist on our trust. That makes them trustworthy. Also the fact that they constantly remind us that they're trustworthy.

Yes, this is as blatant a lie as any I have seen coming from the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger. Where in the Bible is the "evidence" that Jesus meant that "a generation" means those whose lives intersect with those who saw 1914? They fail to produce even a shred of evidence, let alone proof, that Jesus even said anything like that. Show me in this account (not another account about a different incident in the Old Testament, which may or may not even be relatedd). Show me in this Gospel or one of the other parallel gospels. Show me in one of the Gnostic texts that are accepted as probable Bible book candidates that were thrown out by the early Catholic church. But, if all you are going to do is say "evidently" without providing even a shred of evidence, I am not going to stake my life on it.

Greetings, Dear AGuest! So good to see you.
A dear friend of mine left the organization during the 1995 generation change. We'd better be sure to leave the porch light on...
Love,

The fulfillment of the various features of the sign clearly indicate that the tribulation must be near. By maintaining your sense of urgency and keeping on the watch, you show that you are keeping up with advancing light and following the leadings of holy spirit.—Mark 13:37.
That dam invisible holy spirit nobody can see it but its hawkers are everywhere, telling people how to receive it, follow it, and chase it. Well when you accept some one's claim to be a channel for God's word, will, or holy spirit you set yourselves to be manipulated. God the invisible boogieman, wants you to do this or God the invisible boogieman wants you to do that. How do they know? God's invisible holy spirit whispered it in their ear or it says so in the bible(God's holy spirit in solid form).
Who's dumber? Those who believe they got a channel to God and feel compelled tell people what God wants them to do? or Those who believe them and do it? I say it's a coin toss that depends on if the supposed channel really believes what that claim.

May you have peace!
I totally understand your skepticism: many have come on the basis of my Lord's name and made many, many claims... the lion's share of which were/are false. But that there is holy spirit... and a Holy Spirit... is not false, but true. Very true.
And while it is also true that God's holy spirit... and the Holy Spirit... are both invisible... they are not non-existent. It is simply because they are of spirit matter... (celestial)... not flesh or physical matter (terrestrial).
There are many things in this world (the physical realm) that are invisible. Yet, they are manifest. They "reveal" themselves in some form. It is the same holy spirit and the Holy Spirit. For these, however, holy spirit and the Holy Spirit... one only needs to use one's own spirit... which all have/are. Because God IS a spirit... and all who worship Him, indeed who wish to see/hear/feel Him... but do so IN spirit... THROUGH the Truth, His Son.
It really is that simple. Really. Unfortunately, most do not require the FAITH it takes to even make the effort, let alone be successful.
I bid you (and all here, particularly those who sent me kind greetings!)... the greatest of love and peace!
Your servant and a slave of Christ,

Yeah, yeah, I heard that type of arguement before: you can't see the wind, or gravity but they exist because you can feel the effect or as you say they ""reveal" themselves in some form". That's a tired old wives' tale arguement disigned for the extremely gulible.

"That's a tired old wives' tale arguement disigned for the extremely gulible."
Okay, well, yeah, I am a wife... and I guess you could say I'm "old,"... and yes, I am a bit tired (it's Friday and I have an 1.5 hour commute).
BUT... I did not offer it as an argument... OR on the basis that someone "gullible" might believe me and... and... well, what? Believe? It? Me?
Okay. Okay. I admit it: it would be a good thing if someone believed me. NOT because they're gullible, though, but because it is the truth. And a wonderful one at that... one of a plethora of other wonderful things I have come to learn and know by the Holy Spirit. I do not deny it.
I do deny, however, that I am partial to the gullible. I am not. Indeed, ANYONE can believe what I posted, if they choose... from the gullible to the superintellectual... to the regular old "I got some common sense"-er... and I would be quite alright with that. However, NO ONE has to take MY word for it. They can, as I've always stated, ask for themselves. You can, too!
I bid you the greatest of peace and love, dear Frankie... and a GREAT weekend!
Your servant and a slave of Christ,
