My thoughts exactly! Birthday celebrations are about letting someone know you love them and you're happy to have had them around for another year. Glad you enjoyed yourself- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Can it work both ways?

by inquirer in

am i allowed to discuss to people why i belief in most of their doctrines still?

because i have noticed people always want me to believe in their stuff, can it work the other way around?

because you should be able to be on a "level playing field.

You can discuss anything you want here, that is why it is so great. You will not be kicked out for apostasy if noone agrees with you

But some are nice - come on admit it.

but you have to admit that some are nice caring people.

my wife missed the meeting to night due to flu and a sister who has far more health problems than us phoned to ask after her.

she even asked after me, brother 'long time no see'!

My mom has some really nice people in her congregation too. One is an elder's wife, too. She checks on my mom when she's sick, even brings her soup. You get so mad about the organization itself, that you forget that there are some really nice people.

i got one of the packages today.

My mom is funny like that too! Won't be in the same room with my DFd father-in-law, but will buy my son a whole box of adorable Christmas ornaments. I just don't get it.

.

what if we all printed up some flyers advertising ..........seek the truth about the truth.go to jw.com for the answers to questions youv'e had or may have.read articles from the watchtower that the society hopes you will never find.. could we legaly put those on their windshields during a meeting?im sure we could do it at least once,and then if asked to leave comply with their wishes.its a well nown fact that out of 100 or 1000 or 100,000 that some will take the bait and check it out just due to human curiousity.. if we all started using the same informal preaching as them such as dropping flyers at laundry mats and phone booths and grociery stores etc you would think it would catch on.i havent counted all the members of this board and how many countries are represented but it sure looks like a lot to me.. what do you guys and gals think?..............ken

Watchtower/83/3/1/p.25-Says Opposers Believe God's Spirit Can Direct!

says-quote: under the heading of (opposers):.

16 consider some of the other "twisted things" used to mislead god?s people today.

on occasion opposers will question the various teachings that jehovah?s people hold in common.

kj

To hold to the headship of Christ, it is therefore necessary to obey the organization that he is personally directing. Doing what the organization says is to do what he says. Resisting the organization is to resist him.

Damn, that is just CREEPY.

that comment has been made a number of times.

since jehovah loves those he disciplines, short of stoning one, this is god's way of saying, i love you"......stupid, huh?

My cousin is about to get a dose of that "love" tonight.
