a jw cousin of mine called my jw wife today and asked if i saw my new nephew from my jw sister.
my wife said "no, his family would never allow him to see the baby!
" (i'm da'd).
It taught me a lesion never dump all your friends who are not of your persuasion just because some stupid religion and its old leaders tell you too, if you do then you deserve to be feeling badly dealt with. Shane

many times i have asked my jw relatives questions that they've been unable to answer with anything other than, "good question, i'll get back to you on that.
" for some reason, they never actually do get back to me on them.
so, now here's the opportunity for the jehovah's witnesses and their supporters on this forum to either answer some of these questions or concede that they have no answer.
Blondie its weird huh, how they become lord and masters of us.
in the past, god spoke to humans through angels, prophets, and jesus.
today, there are no prophets, angels don't show up anymore, and jesus isn't there to speak to us.. we can talk to god through prayer, but how does god talk to us?.
so, other than the bible which is pretty outdated, how can god communicate with humans?
(Scootergirl") so aptly said, that is where I am concerning spirituality. Sometimes its like making an inspired book from the renderings of Mark Twain. If its something you want to do and feel good doing it, then by all means do it, the Book of Mormon is a good example of this. Shane
blondie i cant help but think how long it must take you to do all your posts.
are you a full time messenger on here!
i dont think i knew as much as an elder with all the pre-study and preparation for all my items.. how do you put together all the references.
Blondie first of all do you look like the Blondie picture you use? Cause she is a major fox, the picture reminds me of a women whom I used to date for about seven years, she was hotter than kitten on a hot ten roof.

All it is punishment plain and simple, who wants to take orders from a bunch of Pin Heads who think they are glorious ones? Shane
i got an interesting reply from an elder friend when i admitted that i had issues with the wts.
i had listed the failed predictions, the changing doctrines and the mistakes made by the wts.. he came back with the examples of the israelites in the wilderness and under the various kings.
the nation of israel was still god's people despite their hardheadedness and sins.
This argument is presumptuous at the very lest: "Today, if we see something that doesn't make sense in the congregation, or a doctrine can't be explained to our satisfaction are we going to forsake Jehovah because the WTS can't answer every question to everyone's satisfaction? We have to be willing to wait on Jehovah as those in the wilderness waited and those under bad kings waited. To leave shows disrespect for Jehovah's arrangement and selfishness." Why must this elder assume the organization is Jehovah and Jehovah is the organization? This is the major reason Jehovah is not behind the Watch Tower society besides many other reasons encompassing false hoods, and behaving with a cult mentality. Why the members do not comprehend this point goes beyond all reason.
in the proclaimers book it mentions that from 1944 no credits were given any longer to authors or composers of kingdom melodies.
compare this though to examples in the bible.
david is credited with many songs in the psalms.
This is what I always hated is being treated like a number nothing more than a number being a Witness:
I AM NOT A NUMBER I AM A FREE MAN
