some may say gb , other may say popes , jesus he qualified as one and started his own religion.
terry on the forum he is up there.
it's that religious zeal against a former life.
Capernicus, Galileo, da Vinci, Martin Luther, Henry VIII, John Calvin, Sir Isaac Newton, William Miller, Joseph Smith, Ellen G White, CT Russell, FJ Rutherford, (I feel uncomfortable putting Ray Franz with some of the people I've listed so I won't)
And since we have such a great cloud of apostates before us...
:0)
hello there.. as some of you might remember i am keeping my facade up by "studying" with an elder.
this study however is more of a session where i put hard questions about the org, doctrine and so on, on the table.
the time has come for the next session in a couple of days, and i have quite frankly lost the will to keep digging up things that just shouldn't be happening.
Hi, if you're interested in how Science disproves the Bible I suggest Aron Ra's Youtube videos He has several on the Flood alone :0)

Astronomy! Carl Sagan wrote reams about evidential reasoning, on a bit of a tangent is all the evidence against a 4000 year old flood and 6000 year old man, complete skeletons of early man etc but you will have to read up somewhere, find a ready source of information hmm :) (there's this magic google button I've heard about)
anything i should be aware of?
i am not sure i will go, since i just moved away from home a month ago.
it is not cheap to travel 250km and pay for hotel here in denmark, and i am not exactly rich.
I see your choice as: listen to DY and go to the convention or go to jwfacts.com and get an education,
:0)
so i went to visit my jw aging mother this week (i've been df'd for 40 years) and she told me she needs to give the people who are taking her to the convention $10 each day of the convention to cover gas?
my uber elder cousin told her she needs to do this!!!
wtf?
Has anybody heard of Comp(limentary) hotel rooms at conventions, these are free rooms given to Watch Tower as a form of commission, remember BOOK ONLY THE ROOMS ON THE LISTS PROVIDED BROTHERS So, because of some mix-up we were assigned to one of these rooms and I was required to pay about $300 to WT, Huh? Why were empty comp rooms not assigned to hard up folks like single moms?
due to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.
nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.
don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.
The Good Samaritan didn't try to ascertain the motives of the victim before giving assistance,
“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.
(matt.
4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

thought i'd share this article i was sent today.
it's getting to where you can't go and take a leisurely stroll or hike without being bombarded with the stufff we want to get away from.http://www.citizen-times.com/story/sports/outdoors/girls-gone-outdoors/2017/07/06/proselytizing-blue-ridge-parkway/452390001/.
Two additional thoughts after reading the article (after the immense sense of relief that I'm out!) It seems that jws are on an "annoying" campaign to hasten the onset of Armageddon, and, Hey! Good News! Sisters can now wear slacks in the Ministry,
This is acceptable service attire now?
But beards reflect poorly?
:(
