  WHY has the Governing Body become what it has become? History shows the way . . .

  if a human being has the desire to worship god, what could possibly stand in the way?.

  thousands of years ago tribes and nations used imagination to figure this out.. early humans made humble offers to the gods to curry favor and (perhaps) to bribe them.. offerings of food, prayers, and even blood were used to convince the supernatural realm of a sincere desire to negotiate favor and protection.. we all know this already, don't we?.

  step one: wooing a deity : offer something to god in return for a benefit.. _______________________________.

  Seriously good post, Terry.

  You introduce, though, that worship is individual.

  As a father, I do not want to be worshiped - I simply want my children to be happy and successful - and hopefully love me.

  I did not have children so that someone would worship me.

  Enabling the gift of life to another, and caring for, and trying my hardest, that that new life will thrive and prosper, is incomprehensible.

  Why would a heavenly Father be different if he instilled those feelings of love and fatherhood in me? (As per my other posts - worship me or die is horsesh**.)

  October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!

  on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.

  tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?

  still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

  Leo Greenlees here:

  I don't have much money left, as I only receive a Special (very) Pioneer allowance now. (I miss the old days.)

  However, I've made a few young friends here in New Orleans that are becoming a tad boring.

  I would be interested in a trade of young friends, as opposed to filthy lucre.

  PLEASE!

  Candace Conti did more good than anyone could have imagined that she would have.

  It shows that not only can you see justice actually done, you do not need to succumb to the insane pressure to coverup and/or settle for peanuts.

  Re: Selection made in heaven first.

  Same with pedos.

  God knows, but sometimes holy spirit is like Billy coming home in Family Circus.

  Not always the direct route.

  Thus the victim and their family are being allowed the privilege of showing their loyalty to God's organization even under difficult circumstances.

  Heard it directly from the platform by an experienced elder.

  "It is obvious that God destroyed them by means of the flood."
