    LT,

    Whilst it's obvious he makes no such claim, you place him in the perilous position of either capitulating or asserting himself wildly.

    Yes, its true he doesnt post the words "sealing himself" However I carefully read his dispensation of scripture re. choice, Its very clear to me that he enables himself to reject Grace.

    If he feels he has a hand in his salvation, is fine by me. But dont assert that is Doctrine! (name of thrread)

    So what claim would you say he is asserting?

    Once You Start Getting Embarrassed That People Know You're A JW It's 2 Late

    for many new witnesses, there was a certain pride associated with being "a jehovah's witness".

    they loved telling people they couldn't salute the flag, vote, take blood, have a hangover, have oral sex....you get the idea.

    once it dawns on jws how dumb and ridicouolus they sound, it's the beginning of the end.

    Great thread Min.

    Its amazing we (former ones) seem to have a common feeling to shred the control of the Tower, and try to regain our identity, and it seeems even while we were in, we really were'nt "in" The Towers reach in ones life, touches every aspect, its unbelievable.

    The reason that I say this is because the blood is efficacious, even in his explanation, it's just that he places far more onus on man to perform and work in sympathy with that..

    By his(ud) works is how he comes to the desired effect of the blood.

    If presented correctly(from this thread) Uds position is clear, he is the one who seals himself.

    Telling people you were once in a "cult" makes them feel bad for you. I t really does.

    Thats my response. Gotta call a spade a spade. I can remember the end of dub-dom life for me. "Mole" in this thread reminded me of a assembly we were at Vet stadium I was 16 or 17 we would get high in the parking lot almost a tail gate, and go back in, an just lay back and check all the freak dubs doin their thing. Oh the memories. LOL. E.

    Embarrassed?

    How bout going in sales er' field service and meeting someone from grade school. That was the biggest fear of eminent embarrassement to the enth degree!!!!!! Because I felt I was a undercover Dub while in public. I absolutely loathed the Jw persona. I just wanted to fit in.
