I have no memory of NOT praying to Jehovah through Christ Jesus, so, (YES) I feel there IS a god who made all things.

This is intereting information about her father:
Charles Taze Russell?
Claims have been made that "Pastor" Russell (1852/02/16 -1916/10/31), founder of the International Bible Students Association — forerunner of the Jehovah ’ s Witnesses — was a freemason; that the banner on the front of early issues of the Watchtower contained masonic symbols; and that Russell ’ s gravestone bears a masonic cross and crown symbol.Russell was not a freemason. Neither the symbols found in the Watchtower nor the cross and crown symbol are exclusively masonic. And the cross and crown symbol does not appear on his gravestone in the Rosemont United Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — it appears on a memorial erected some years later.
In an address delivered in a San Francisco masonic hall in 1913, Russell made positive use of masonic imagery by saying, "Now, I am a free and accepted mason. I trust we all are. But not just after the style of our masonic brethren." He further develops this idea: "true Bible believers may or may not belong to the masonic fraternity, but they are all masons of the highest order, since they are being fashioned, chiselled and polished by the Almighty to be used as living stones in the Temple Built Without Hands. They are free from sin, and therefore accepted by the God of Heaven as fit stones for the heavenly Temple." Later in this address, Russell stated quite clearly that "I have never been a mason." Those who claim Russell was a freemason quote this address out of context without noting the rhetorical imagery.
Although Russell wrote about the pyramids and the Knights Templar, the pyramids are not a part of Freemasonry and Russell ’ s understanding of the relationship between the modern Knights Templar and Freemasonry displays an outsider ’ s ignorance of both organizations.

What's wrong with JW's in a nutshell.
by JeffT ini was pondering this after an aa meeting the other day.
a couple of the 12 steps involve working constantly to improve our conscious contact with god.
they do not seek him out, go into a guide place to seek his guidence.

It consist of one big word "organization" you basically worship organizatioin" more than god, they say they have to be organized well no kidding Sherlock, but you don't have to inject it into the baptism talk along with the Holly Spirit and Jehovah God. And of couse add to that all of Ruthorford's delightful rules that he taught was from god him self. Take away these two things and you got basicly the modern day Bible Students".

I can speak for myself, that I am EXIT only and will always be EXIT only, and I think that if anything was to go IN through the OUT door would be very "unnatural for me and would cause me much grief!
And I conceder myself a great specimen of a man.

That is so weird. What ever happend to aproching Jehovah through Christ our lord and asking forgivness through the power of his shed blood in our behalf, its not baptism under water that washes away sins its through Christ.
What Mallet Heads.

If, Jehovah is really doing things his way, the way as you discribe, and he really is a big powerful god, I don't think you have to much to say if truth be known; because compared to Jehovah you are not much more than a Protozone in the full scheme of things.

Witness Divorce= How do you "prove" to Elders you can re-marry?
by Witness 007 inwell if you divorce there's no re-marrying unless you can show your ex has commited adultery.
do they expect video footage, or pictures like the"cheaters" style t.v show.
do you need "2 witnesses" as the bible states.

Never! go into that back room and have them close that door, the cards are stacked and not in your favor, no matter what do not suject your self to their stupid rules, basicly I am saying just back out the door of the hall with your bird finger up in the air, or they will wreck your life with their BS.

Died faithful so she has a chance for a resurrection --- Huh?
by mimimimi inyesterday at the grocery store, i ran into a sister from the hall.
i have not attended meetings now for 15 to 16 months, but most people there think my health has been really bad and that is why i don't go any more.
anyway, i asked her how her mother was and she told me her mother passed away in july at the age of 95. she then said that her mother died faithful, so she would have a chance for a resurrection.

If that women realy does belive that I pity her, what she needs to do is get away from the Witness's teachings and go back to the Bible Students they have never taught selective resurrection, and its much nicer to worship Jehovah in that respect.
