by joelbear in

2. beliefs
so 1/3 of the angels followed satan, the majority stuck with god.

doesn't the existence of faithful angels prove god's right to universal sovereignty much more so than the actions of one human pair?

THIS USED TO BE THE SOCIETY- HOW SAD TODAY

"we would not refuse to treat one as a brother because he did not believe the society is the lord's channel... there should be full liberty of conscience.

-- wt april 1, 1920, p. 100, 101

it is interesting to think that at one time the wt viewed itself merely as students of the word sharing and printing thier understanding or interpetation or their take on a biblical point and as a result they felt that if they printed something that someone didn;t agree with well all is well, we just got a different personal view on a matter.

Interesting phenomena regarding Witnesses
by JamesThomas in

first, and most important: thanks to all those who read my introduction-post last saturday, and especial thanks to those who replied.

like many who have been disfellowshipped (and especially those raised in the org) i've been dragged through icy waves of agonizing hurt and anger; often followed by times of peace and letting go; only to be hit by another turbulent and bitter bout of animosity and grief.

the tides do run deep, don't they.

Can psychic energy heal?
by kenpodragon in
1. jw

recently i was watching a documentary on this woman who claimed that she could heal people with the power of her mind.

the documentary went into interviewing people about their experiences, and many of them actually had medical signs of improvement that could be documented and shown.

while watching this, i was seeing it as a example of psychic energy healing someone?
