  At the Kingdom Hall

  i was thinking of starting a topic on thoughts that go through your mind while attending meetings.... right now i am at the meeting and thinking ... we study about jesus's courage to stand by rightness and truth, about him getting in conflict with religious leaders who thought of themselves as experts of the law, jesus understood truth and god differently of them and he had the courage to speak out!.

  so we study this, but after that we draw the concluzion that courage is to go preaching and identify yourself as a witness .... well, this in not what i understand from jesus's courage!.

  I realize that self expression in this religion is forbidden. It is the first time I clearly see this.

  It is paintful and don't know if I should continue, fading and not telling people what I understand from the Bible

  or just leaving ...

  New Apostate: Tempest in a Teacup

  first post on here.

  i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.

  i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".

  If you stopped preaching, have you thought about finding the courage to not report anything?

  Today's WT Study based on a theme that adds words not found in the original Greek.

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's wt study, from the december 15, 2014, is based on mark 7:14, which says:.

  so calling the crowd to him again, he said to them: listen to me, all of you, and understand the meaning.

  the two words at the end, "the meaning", are not found in the greek.

  I also do dot agree with the explanations. 

  I believe the growth of the leaven in three parts, means that Christianity grew through different christian religions and organisations. 

  I also don't believe in the explanation in next week's article about the fish-men who catch good and bad fish. I think the real separation will be at Armageddon and the judgement will be individual. 

  I believe the illustrations discussed in the 2 articles show that the message on the kingdom of god grows through different christian religions and organisations and in the end the judgement and the salvation will be individual. 

  I also believe the explanations are "forced" just to fit into our general believe that the JW's are the only religious organisation approved by God. 

  They are doing what they say in the beginning of the first article we should not do if we want to understand the meaning. 

  PS: English is not my fist language, please excuse my mistakes, if they exist.

  it looks like the movies about end of the days and the fantasy movies are very much in fashion.

  do you think a movie about the end of the system and the life in the new system could captivate the audiences?.

  after all more than 90 % of americans are christians and say they believe in the bible.
