I appreciate your letter very much. The WTBTS is just like all the other religions in the world because they preach one thing and do another. Once the door has been opened into their bedroom they are exposed for the harlot they are. Thank you for your thoughts.

This Just Burns Me UP! [:(!]
by Aintthatcute ini have read a great deal from the silentlamb's web site, not to mention other sites that are following this atrocity!
it would seem to me, and you can probibly bet, when something like this comes to the attention of the elders; that all of thier children are warned to stay clear of "publisher alleged child abuser"!
even though they are supposed to be "hush-hush" about it.

You Know,
You seem like an intelligent person. Why do you stay on a ship where, you admit, the captain is taking the ship in the wrong direction? If you believe there are people at the top leading the WTBTS in the wrong direction why don't you jump ship! Why would you support what their doing by continuing to attend meetings and supporting their organization. You are being shown that truth does lie within this organization. You are trying to save a dying rotted out corpse. -

Remember Moses was raised for 40 years in the house of Pharaoh. He knew he was Hebrew but he was not familiar with their customs. Had he been familiar with the Hebrew customs he would have had his sons circumcised 8 days after they were born, but they weren't circumcised. Moses lagged on learning about his heritage. He was a Levite and needed to know the customs to understand the people he was about to lead out of Egypt. He needed to become Hebrew again. His wife cutoff the foreskin of their child to show Moses that he needed to start obeying Jehovah and become part of the covenant of Abraham. It was due to Moses disobedience that caused his life to be in jeopardy. Zapporah did understand the Hebrew culture.

Hi, Sleepy,
Excellent list of questions. Be aware that if they cannot show you proof in the Bible to answer your questions they WILL tell you to believe whatever the WTBTS says to believe. I had that experience long ago before I left and have friends and family experience the same today. Another question might be why do they restrict the taking of communion unless you claim to be annointed? Read John 6:42-59. It says anyone eating this Bread shall live forever. ANYONE!!!!!!!! Aren't they restricting everlasting life to their members????? Doesn't that make them blood guilty? I also like the UN association question. How can they possibly explain that one away. -

The Bible advances women's rights
by Rex B13 inour forum's now chapter likes to slander christian believers over alleged poor treatment of women.
in truth, the bible advanced women's rights in the ancient world, even in a paternalistic society.
here are the results of research into this topic.. num 5.12--the trial of bitter waters (sotah) is a an amazing provision by god for a woman to publicly clear her name (and indict a dysfunctional husband in the process).

Hey, All
Eve was not in subjection to Adam until after they had sinned. It was then Jehovah put that condition on their relationship. Women have been mentioned in the Bible several times for bravery (Rahab), loyalty (Ruth), or having the privilege of being the first human to see Christ after his resurrection (Mary Magdalene). Many women were left out because the men who wrote or translated the Bible felt it was not socially acceptable to include them in their writings. Who knows--------Adam and Eve could have had a 50-50 relationship before they sinned. -

I don't know if they have this where you live, but look in the yellow pages of the phonebook for an org called "Center For Living With Dying". They have been around a long time and can help you cope with your Father's death.

I am puzzled as to your thinking. Why do you believe because you left the JW religion there is no ressurrection? Do you think only JW's are ressurrected and if you are not one you don't get ressurrected? Please reply.
