  just finished a walk today i came onto a happy family group of all the generations celebrating a tiny ones birthday.

  they all sang ..happy birthday and i sang with my bass baritone the chorus, .."why was she born so beautiful why was she born at all.." silly words but they are happy words.

  the family cheered their pleasure at this outsider joining in.

  2. experiences

  i gave a several talks in gadsden alabama usa during the 90's.

  got to eat and chat with several elders who were in the know such as : felix parnell, willie anderson, bobby rogers, earl parnell, theotis french, and rob dibble.

  all said they struggled with the decision of his dfing.

  "...you can't set your own rules, and go against the Faithful Slave!"

  That is ironic in view of the fact that Raymond Franz was part of the "Faithful Slave" and got in trouble simply because he abstained from - not went against - votes on doctrinal matters.

  Help - I'm going to be conducting the watchtower study

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks like i'm going to have to take the watchtower study for a while so i thought i'd seek help.. i wont be outing myself or stating anything too controversial, but so far i have come up with the following tactics : 1) ask questions which will get people thinking even if it is about something insignificant - developing a questioning mind is the key to discovering ttat as far as i am concerned.

  2) highlight any extreme points so that some might realise they are extreme.

  3) highlight any good points - helping others in need for example - just because it is the right thing to do.. if anyone has any general comments which could help, please post them here.

  Tell them something like "Jesus came to save the world". Don't tell them he came to save them; that's a tip off to apostasy. If you use the word "world" your audience will know indirectly that it applies to them as well.
