  Question about letters to society.

  by laurelin in

  2. scandals

  hi.. i was reading another post about asking for your personal files.

  i was wondering if anyone knew if the society send copies of letters you have sent to them to your congregation.. i recently sent them a letter asking about the old information about the 1914 generation on their website.. i received a letter back from them that didn't answer the question (what's new) but was more a slap on the wrist for even deigning to ask.

  i was directed to a couple of articles about the apreciation and good use of older publications and told that older light had to be taken into regard with newer light and that older books still have their worth as long as we use newer ones as well.... talk about confusing.. anyway, i was wondering if they would send the elders in my congregation a copy of my letter to them?.

  607bce. An idiots guide needed please.

  i have read a lot of threads on here about 607 b.c.e.

  and i find a lot of them confusing.. i'm not an idiot but neither am i that well versed in star charts and archeological finds and some of the threads here (that i've found) have left me even more confused as they often make reference to things i know nothing about.. does anyone out there know where i can find an easy to read and understand explanation of 607.. am i to understand that it's the bible that comes to the date 607 and no other secular evidence can be found?.

  i'm not having a go at any of the threads here as i'm sure they are excellent threads, they just go right over the top of my head.. i can't get any access to books or anything like that due to home circumstances so anything online would be perfect.. i would be grateful for any help anyone can give me.. thanks.

  Visit From Elders

  2. experiences

  it's been awhile since i've been on here.

  due to death in the family, chicken pox in children and other nasty things.. i posted here awhile ago about things i had found the unsettled me.

  i was due to have a visit from two elders and a lot of you gave me lots of help and encouragement.. well, the two elders visited and i have to admit that it was nothing like i expected.. they sat down, and told me straight away that there was nothing i could say or ask that would hurt me.

  i can't help but discover things that make me have serious doubts about jehovah's witnesses as a whole.

  but... and this is a big but.... what if they are god's organisation?

  i feel as if i'm being blackmailed... if i don't make a go of this religion i'm effectivly killing my young daughter if it is jehovah's organisation.. my mum ( a pioneer and a lovely woman!

  Where did evil come from?

  by laurelin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm new here, i only just found this site the other day so i don't know if i'm repeating something that has already been covered.

  i'm sorry if i am.. can anyone help me on the scripture in genesis 2v9.. it says that god created two trees, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and bad.

  these were put into the garden before adam and obviously before adam and eve sinned.. if this is the case, does that mean god created bad?
