  Isn't God missing the devil?

  by Narkissos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some time ago i started a (short) thread entitled ?how important is the devil to god?

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/63454/1.ashx

  i?d like to address the same question from a slightly different angle.

  We can thank the early Christina church and its power hungery leaders for using the fear and guilt approach of a "evil incarnate" to control the masses.

  I have heard this as well. Satan the intity was created by the church.

  Elders and Servants

  by Bryan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i believe the body of elders was created in the early 70's, as opposed to the one elder running the show.

  please correct me if i am wrong.

  my question is... 1963, where there servants under the presiding elder?.

  codeblue,

  Thanks for the warm greeting. I live in Plano and hope to go to the Apastafest (sp). I don't mean to repeat http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/67127/2.ashx

  ..but, I left for the last time a little over 10 years ago. The last two years, I was literally yelled at, and raked by elders, and had a brain injury in the middle of it all. Years later one of those elders called me and said, "they had new information about head injuries." (Isn't that sweet!) I told him all he did was kick me while I was already down, and to never call me again... "click". So, needless to say I didn't want to hear, see or smell anything of a witness. Because of the fear these men instilled in me, it has only been the last year that have begun to research the ex-witness info out there, and I must say I am very pleased.

  I am working on a project at the moment and wil be asking many questions this year.

  Thanks, Bryan

  P.S. How many of the borg do you suppose lurk in here? ;-)

  Organ donation?

  by xenawarrior in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i read that at one time organ donation was something forbidden and then after a while it became a conscience matter for jw's.

  (someone correct me if i'm wrong please).

  i was watching a television show last week about a very interesting triple liver transplantation involving "live donors".

  Xenawarrior,

  I suppose I'm a little late, but I think I have a very special point of view. Last July I gave my left kidney to a young man from Russia. The doctors told me I was a "Good Sameritan" donor. Wish I had another one to give. I plan on giving bone marrow in about a year and a half.

  My daughter unfortunately is still in, she doesn't like to talk about what I did. I don't know if it's her age (18) or her brainwashing?

  I was foretunate that Oleg was a good kid of 21. He's back home now and doing great other than feeling like he's in a dead-end country.

  I left twice... you know that guilt, the second time was years ago. I never searched much for ex-witness info. As of late I have been absolutely floored with the UN news, this generation manuver, hypophyliacs (sp) can have blood but no to others (is that correct?).

  Anyway, I believe 56,000 people a year die waiting for only a kidney!

  Okay, sorry to everyone. I just read all the lower posts. I understand.

  I welcome any input concerning my daughter though. I don't want to "push" her. I don't want to be like "them." Any suggestions or experiences?

  Thanks,

  Bryan

  Hello,

  My name is Bryan . I was raised a witness, was a min. servant, bla, bla, bla.

  I just learned about the UN scandal with the witnesses. My daughter is still in with her mother and is visiting. I just showed her the news story about the JW/UN connection and your letter. I was concerned that the letter you posted may be your own, saying what the Borg should. Is this correct, or is it copied by you from a real letter. I want to make my daughter understand, but I can't send her home with inacurate info. She would just assume it's all propaganda, desgined by dad, who mom and the elders say is evil.

  Thank you,

  Bryan

  P.S. I will also post this on the board to get help from others on this issue.
