    Hi,

    New here. I walked away from "The Organization" in October of 1996. I was neither Df-ed nor even reproved. I just walked away. The belief in this earth being restored by Christ someday always appealed to me. I still DOES....it's just I don;t believe you have to be JW or IN "The Organization", to get there. The Divine Name? Sure. Thought I personally perfer Jah-weh rather than Jah-hov-ah. Belief that Jesus is divine in nature but NOT God? Yeah, but if others are trinatarian I don;t mind. But I positively do NOt believe in some board of old white men called the "Governing Body" or "The Organization"/"The Society," nor that they act as the channel and meditor to Jah. I believe only Jesus is that and i believe anyone can be a "faithful servant," whether your belief is heavenly or earthly and you don;t have to be in denomination of church group. I guess you can kinda say that I am a moderate in my social justice views. i believe in the full equality of women and that they WERE elders/pastors/spiritual leaders in Paul's Day and I believe "The Organization" is sexist. I believe in helping the animals and animals. Did NOT like the WT's article on "Pet's How Do You View them?" I DISSAGREE that animals won;t live forever in paradise. They were all like, "Well the Bible says to get eternal life you have to accept Christ and animals can't do that." Dah, they don;t have to. Humans sinned not animals. Well, this is a good start. Anyone else share these views?

    Welcome to the forum, Paradise Beach; I don't have solid religious beliefs just yet, but I don't have any argument with what you have presented.

    Hey Sam Herd is Black!

    But I agree with you. So does the GB for some reason the org is on autopilot. If you read the literature and press releases they have no "authority" they deny every thing that gives them "power" oddly they say we should listen to them anyway. I can't wrap my brain around that one. I just go to the hall cuz its a church. As for pets just resurrect them. If you can bring people back to life that don?t deserve it why not waive your hand and bring back your dog.

    something funny about animals...i wonder if they have their own language and god or something, because if they held up to the same rules we did, they'd be kinda screwed as well. lions kill lion cubs if they aren't theirs etc etc.

    If animals didn't eat each other it would make a helluva mess of the food chain
