i just read in the live forever book, 1990 edition: "there will be only one organizationgod's visible organization that will survive the fast-approaching "great tribulation.

" it is simply not true that all religions lead to the same goal... you must be part of jehovah's organization, doing god's will, in order to receive his blessing of everlasting life...".

in print!

I'd love to have the page number so I can quote it.

i'm not a big fan of surgery.

i always exhaust all non-surgical options before doing it.

i know enough about medicine to know that surgery is effectively a controlled injury... and that makes me nervous.

Thinking about you Else.

Oh, yeah... and don't sneeze!

grateful to my Elders..No talks, no FS time, no privledges....no problem!

so one year of lots of questions and showing doubts, and missing quite a few meetings but still going out in service, doing mics, reading, hall projects...then i get the new light from society regarding the letter i sent them (wow, stunned me, blew me away) and i let them know how i felt about it and i quit the ministry after 40 active years.

nobody says anything about this, no counsel, no will you go out with us on saturday.

not a single "were is your time for the month" phone call.

Bryan

oompa,

Have you posted the Watchtower letter issue you talk about in this thread. I can't seen to find anything about it in your topics.

Thanks,

Bryan

A horrible scary thing happened to my daughter. You won't believe this

my daughter was on her way to work last week and stopped for a milkshake at a fast food restaurant.

they were caught on tape using the slop bucket they used for cleaning bathrooms etc.

to empty out the milkshake machine while they cleaned it, and then pour the milkshake mix (in the contaminated slop bucket) back into the machine.. apparently there was also a group of kids from an after school program that had a party there that same day.

I'm glad she's doing better, and yes, things do happen for a reason.

take care,

post the OT scripture that you find most disturbing.

by oompa in

i am too tired to find mine right now, but it involves men laying in wait to attack and rape sisters going to dance at a circuit assembly.

i think the purpose was to find even more wives for the tribe of benjamin.

great plan god.. ot stuff always weirded me out more than nt stuff, until i found out we have a totally fraudulant nt version, compete with the name jehovah spuriously inserted 237 times, along with many other spurious verses.

Bryan

Gotcha'

I knew it sounded like Lot, but I thought it was a different one with virgins being taken.

Thanks,

Hello everyone, first post.

hello, i just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here - as i will be posting here.. i grew up a jw and pioneered, was a ministerial servant, ect, i was in the organization for 17 years.

i left and naturally my family did as they were told and cut off all communication with me.

this left a horrible taste in my mouth for not just jw's, but any religion for that matter.

Bryan

Welcome, and I'm glad you have found your own loving, fulfilling path.

Congrats.

Actually, I don't think this is it.

I remember it as two angels came in to the man's house (a man oh Jah). The man said "take my daughters, they are virgins".

Does this sound familiar?

Thanks,

Bryan

Praise Jah!
