Strange video.

If the creator of all we can see from earth, including all of the wonderful beauty here on earth.... was using 1 organization to inform modern man all the thing yet to come...

Well I do not beleive anything would need to be up dated. Teachings like 144K then add Great Crowd.. This Generation.. No blood at all...wait some blood in certain parts.. Governing body not the Faithful Slave...wait , yes it is.. well now it is.

Expand, build more branch offices.. wait, close them now.

Come work at Bethal for life.. wait, your getting older with no medical coverage... leave now.. go back out ther and figure life out at 50. Oh.. we are in need of help now in Bethal, replace with 20 year olds.

Governing body appoints Elders and Sevvants... wait, no the C.O can do it.

CT Russel and JF Ruthaferd were founders of this organization...wait, no they were not. Lets distance ourselves from their false prophsies.

Do not use electronic devices at meetings... oh wait.. use them..

I could go on and on... you get the point.. I no longer beleive God speaks through the WBTS.

I was too an Elder for many years with Convention speaking assignments. But I was living a double life.

I was DFed and rightly so. I still beived in the WBTS and came back.

It was after my reinstatment that I atarted to look at the organization differantly.

Once my thinking about the truth in the teaching abd control of members it was still hard to make the leap to leave.

I could have never imagined how well all would turn out.

If any are wondering.. just ask some of us. Sent a message if any need help.

In or out.. best to all!

Good thought.

Shame many who are in but minds are out can not experiance the joy and freedom when we leave.

I do miss my family. However the many friends I thought I had were CONDITIONAL friends.

The friends I now have are TRUE friends that have no judgement or alternative motives.

One can still beleive in God and Christ without the WBTS telling them what to think.

Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"

the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.

the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?

" this friend does not know how to answer this question.
ducatijoe

None of the 144k idea is true. When I stand back and look it does not make sence.

I will be interested how they change the understanding of the 144k as more time clicks br

10 years, 20 years.

More "New light" no doubt.

If God was behind this organization all info He gives them would be perfect. It's not, is it...

How on earth would you consder Automotive Marketing as being gambling! Many auto companies give out Visa gift cards at malls and auto shows for people to test drive their cars.

An Invitation and a Question

if you live in the twin cities in minnesota, come to the uu church in bloomington on sunday, july 27th.

i'm giving a presentation there about jws and about leaving, shunning, things like that.

one hour, 10:30, free on-site childcare available.. here's a link with more info.
ducatijoe

Think the WBTS monitors this site. Playing copy write music in a public place without concent may be illegal.

Just a thought.
