i know the pat answer is "grieving the holy spirit" but how does one do that?
i asked some elders who were attempting to meet with me but they seemed unsure... .
publicly!
I'm not convinced humans at this point in time can commit the unforgivable sin. I think we may have to be perfect first and then choose lawlessness over God's law. I think that constitues the Unforgivable Sin.
Only the anointed can do that since they have Gods spirit with them.I think this may be the only exception to my theory.

Would you people please read the site before arguing the same old tired arguments.
What part of "quit touching the unclean thing" is hard to undestand? Or didn't you read the scriptures??
2 Corinthians 6: 14~18, Mark 7: 7~9, 13 also Matthew 7: 22, 23, 27, 28

Well, flash, that would matter only if you bought in to the whole "UN is the harlot" thingy. I don't see any indications that the UN is hostile towards religion. It's neutral at worst.If you don't accept the UN as the Wild Beast now please keep it in mind for later. Although it may not be anti-religion at this point what it will become in the future is another thing. Remember, God is going to put it in their heart to carry out His plan toward the religious harlot.
just got a message from a relative attending the dc.
this seems to be the big announcement from the convention:
the end is nigh!
Yes, they have been saying things like this from Day One. Even so, I believe their doctrine of God using the worlds governments to destroy all religion is correct. IMO, we should watch for the United States and Briton to hand leadership of the War On Terror over to the UN, who will then be Divinely lead to determine that "religion" is the real problem and has to go...IMO.

I am convinced the WTBTS registered as an NGO in order to better represent their interests (freedom of speech, freedom of religion) in some of the more oppresive parts of the world.

This has, and will always be(to me at least), the most logical conclusion I have yet to hear. Mind you, this wasn't my idea at all -- it was my old PO's opinion! When he told me this, I was at a loss for words.
No offense to either of you...The end doesn't justify the means AND wont be accepted by Christ. Matthew 7: 22, 23, and 23: 27, 28 ............................................................................. DannyHaszard That picture says it ALL. That is EXACTLY how it is!

I'm sure your intention is to be loyal to God thirdwitness. Do not deceive yourself and rationalize the Governing Body's gross error into acceptable behavior.

Have You Left Jehovah?
No, just His santimonious organization with its obsession with rules and control.
what exactly are the "core beliefs" of the wtbs?
i was raised in it and don't even know what "they" are.
is it me or has these core beliefs been extremely fluid?
What exactly are the "Core Beliefs" of the WTBS? I was raised in it and don't even know what "they" are. Is it me or has these core beliefs been extremely fluid? I find Christianity outside of the bOrg to be so much easier to understand. What do you think? Josie
Hi Josie!
I believe these are the 'Core Beliefs' of the Witnesses. On a personal level I still hold to these because I think they are correct. I stopped attending a KH over four years ago because of the abuse of authority at ALL levels and because of the endless flow of "man made" rules the GB invents.
the wts is fond of associating itself with great men of the bible claiming to be of this or that class (john class, isaiah class and so on).
they claim god given authority to keep his people clean and to make rules to cover situations not found in the bible.. pharisee rule not found in the law.. *** w96 9/1 12 the law before christ ***.
pharisee rule not found in the law.. *** w96 9/1 12 the law before christ ***.
I agree with you completly.
I'm also convinced that in these scriptures Jesus was talking about those 'leading' His congregation NOT those who left it. Matthew 24: 45 ~ 51 and Luke 12: 42 ~ 48.
yesterday, my mother, sister, son (3 year old) and i were shunned for the first time by someone that it actually hurt to be shunned by.
my little brother, who is still a very active jw, told us that he will never see us again.
he won't speak to us, write us, or communicate with us again.
This made me think back to the person that I was as a witness and the stands I would take as one and I just want to make a public apology to anyone an everyone. "I'm so very sorry."
Lo-ro-hamah ~ We all trusted and followed "humans" more than we should, but we are not the first. John 16: 1- 4 Remember, Jesus was talking about the abuses "God's People" would inflict on His True followers.
