what do you think would happen if someone where to have a bible study with the sole purpose of asking lots of awkward questions just to get the reaction of the witnesses?

Im having my second "fake study" whats sad is the glaring inability for them to think. They are very very afraid of any free thinking. Any answers that come forth are none of the members own, its all from the Tower. There in lies the proof of mind-control.
the young man replied, "in fact sir, cold does not exist.
"professor, does darkness exist?".
"sir, does evil exist?".
LOL, yeah every scientist that has lived on earth has always in every instance been truthful and ethically without spot.You missed my sarcasism.

funny how christians (well, that's the box you put yourself in, littletoe, that's not our fault ;-)) just like to misquote, misinterpret or even make up stories bout einstein or other scientists...

hi guys.
wondering if you have any input on this one.. now that you are no longer a jw what is your interpratation of the lords prayer where it says 'let your will take place in heaven also upon earth'.. i would love to hear your opinions on this matter.
as a christian the belief is that you are going to heaven right?

found this on e-watchman.... http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2911.
i just answered a question "off the top of my head" to a question which brought to my mind something that i heard at a talk at our assembly that has "bothered" me and i am hoping for some clarification as i would never want to be accused of what this topic is about .... .
it was a talk at our recent assembly that brought out a 'new one' for me ...or perhaps i just haven't heard of it as yet ... .
Well said Garybuss,
They've got a sort of delicate balancing act to pull off. They have to preach love while being really mean . . . and still avoid a revolt.
I betcha WT cringes at your posts'
well the verdict is in and is going to be read in about 20 min.
the scene on the tv is pretty ugly, cops are pulling out riot gear.
if found guilty it doesn't look good as far as "keeping the peace.
If anyone 'riots' over MJ they should be shot in the scrotum.

Smells like a duck, looks like a duck.....C'mon this dude is a freak, and needs to get "stomped"
i am a rather newly minted christian.
i have been exposed to many different beliefs besides the jw, but i tend to take more of a "mere christianity" view of salvation.. here is a summary of that view.. i believe there is a god, evidenced by an innate natural law that most understand, aspire to, and expect from others.
laws require a lawgiver.
But what I am really trying to get at is what is required for a person to cross that threshold from not worthy of salvation to being worthy of salvation? Are there certain actions required, or is it simply a change in the state of the mind?
Neither,

at the portland maine district convention that was held this past weekend, brother buck from brooklyn bethel gave the last talk on sunday.
in this talk he mentioned the "millions of people that have left" in the recent past.
he also mentioned them in the concluding prayer.
instead of getting an education and getting a job with benefits because armageddon can come any day? or how about getting sick and tired getting ready for a meeting, study for FS every time you turn around???
Ive been out for 20+ To me its not so much the job thing but Im married two teens and a seven yo. we both work full time, with the gym, yard work, JWD and everything else. I laugh at times and wonder how could anyone fit that cult into their lives????
Whew Im tired just thinkin about it.
hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.
Wow this thread is still going,
Hey Scholar ever get around to that "neo-kings" list. Then you can silence all these poztates.
