Angels directing the preaching?

i had an interesting experience the other day.. i have been inactive for a long time and have recently begun to look closer at what i had come to believe was the "truth".

i have been busy reading and researching various related topics (some of my reading has included the interesting posts at this excellent site) and was starting to think that i have been misled by the wtbts.

friday night i earnestly prayed to jehovah to help me to have an open mind and to be objective in my analysis.

not often have i regretted being an inactive jw.

today though, i heard a true story i would have loved to use as an "effective introduction" in a talk.

it seems two southern gentlemen were out frog gigging in a very remote area.

i'm wondering if you still attend meetings?

do you hold out hope for the watchtower organization?

if you've left entirely, have you found another form of worship?

Who really is the FDS?!?!?!?!?
by LDH in

hey all, hope you're having a great year so far.. before witnet was closed down, there was an interesting discussion regarding the fds and their failed prophecies.

i asked a question, but unfortunately there wasn't enought time to get everyone's view.. so i'll rephrase my posts, and wait to hear from y'all.. if we are so quick to say that the fds is a false prophet because of some failed prophecies (even tho they say they don't prophecy, we all know better) then how would you explain the bible book of jonah?.

a faithful prophet, jonah, followed (after much trial and tribulation to himself) jehovah's command to declare destruction on the city of nineveh.

i've really enjoyed the conversations about music, poetry, movies, books and short storys.

i thought it would be interesting to read about little known news from around the world, so i'll start with some from the tiny dot where i live on this ball of mud we call earth.. i just read in the paper this morning that the people of port clinton, ohio are celebrating new years by dropping a 500 pound fiberglass walleye fish into lake erie.

we people here in ohio have a certain panache.. the tornado in xenia, ohio this summer missed my daughter's house by a block and a half.
