  Q. 1 in Hebrews 10:25 bible says . . .not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near. . .

  ...so If we are not with society with whom we have to gather?

  Or when some JW show this verse what we can say.

  The purpose of gathering is for encouragement, what if 'the meetings' were not encouraging or even worse, discouraging...why go???

  Hebrews 10:25 is an exhortation NOT a command!

  Q. 2 who is faithful and discreet slave?

  Faithful and discreet? As defined how, in comparison to whom? Have the members of the Governing Body been used by God's Son? The answer I believe is yes, the important question is 'by how much?' Totaly in everything? Is nothing out of their own minds and hearts? Matthew 19: 7and 8, Proverbs 22: 6

  Q. 3 when they said we have anointed ones with society what we can say to them?

  The ancient Israelites knew they were God's Chosen yet it did not mean they were free of error or guilt for that error. Jeremiah 8:1-6, John 8:39

  The Governing Body is guilty of Pride, Presumptuousness and Oppressing God's people.

  Sorry for your 3rd class treatment Flower...it's their programing.

  T he GB has got the congregations so conditioned to, without question or scrutiny, accept everything that comes from them as coming from God they're afraid to do anything else but follow their marching orders!

  Although my husband had been a faithful Witness for almost 60 years, many of those in the full time work, nobody has visited or even called in the two years since we stopped attending meetings.

  Your only as good as your last meeting and Field Service report...Now you and your husband are deemed as undesirably weak or even as 'bad association.' " What a loving Organization we belong to "

  IMO, stay strong in prayer and in bible reading.

  Three Questions

  if you were guaranteed honest responses to any three questions, who would you question and what would you ask?

  1. Why am I so angry all the time ?

  2. Where do these ideas come from; or, what is the source of inspiration, creative and otherwise?

  3. What the hell do I really want?

  CZAR

  CZAR,

  When I had major anger issues a technique called Sentence Completion helped me a lot, maybe your familar with it. Write at the top of a sheet of paper something like - "I am angry all the time because..." or "I am angry because..." and complete the sentence with WHATEVER pops into your head. Write quickly, do not censor anything. Don't worry if it makes sense or not just keep completing the sentence and let the answers flow freely. It REALLY helped me release a lot of my anger and I was better able to work on the rest. I'm sure it would work well with # 2 and # 3 also.

  Best Wishes ~ Flash

  To the GB:

  1. How 'Spirit Directed' do you believe you are?
  2. How 'Spirit Directed' do you want everyone to treat you as?
  3. How is your leadership not like the leadership of the religious leaders of ancient Israel?

  To my children:

  1. Is unquestioning obediance and surrender to the will of the GB really what God requires?
  2. Does thinking for ones self always equate to pride and becoming a follower of Satan?
  3. Is there ANYTHING in which you disagree with the GB/WTS/Organization on?

  To my fellow posters here:

  1. In spite of all we know that is wrong with the WTS does that mean there is no chance of them being used by God today as His Christian witnesses?
  2. Because of their error/s should we act as if everything we learned and accepted from them is untrue or invalid?
  3. What do you believe the history of the errant ancient Israelites means for the Witnesses today?

  "HAVE TENDER AFFECTION FOR ONE ANOTHER"

  "In brotherly love have tender affection for one another."?Roman 12:10 NWT

  The constant flow of mixed messages from the GB is, in my mind, the major problem. The GB talks about love all the time, yet they don't act loving. They act in an un-loving way to all the congregations by imposing their narrow 'human' standards on them, their condesension, their manipulation along with their new expanded view of shunning, to name a few things. So why would they think the individual members of the congregations wouldn't follow their example and emulate their actions and judgemental attitude? Their next WT study article should be, 'Do As We Say, Not As We Do'

  "people take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.

  just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

  That quote is definately true. The frustrating thing is only balanced thinking people will accept it!

  A comical favorite of mine is, "I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken!"
