I didnt know you (or your actions) until not so long ago. Here in the Netherlands publicity about what youre doing is near non-existent. I learned about it, when I visited Randys page and saw the link to the BBC, Panorama. (I signed up on this forum after that.) I was stunned and baffled. And more than that, I felt a deep admiration for your courage. It takes courage and convicting to stand up to something so big as the Organization, you have displayed both. The fact that they disfellowshipped you, only confirms my opinion of the org.

Take care,

I'd go back to 30 AD or about. Find out who Jesus really was, then get back home and write a brilliant study about it. I'd be famous.

Or, I'd go to France around 1765 meet Voltaire and discuss his Philosophical Dictionary with him.

i received this e-mail this morning and have been thinking about it all day.

maybe i shouldn't be posting this since it is an e-mail addressed to me, but i want your opinions.

what i did is i left out the name.

What you need to remember is that the organization is run by imperfect people
> - Directed by Jehovah. Why do so many people think that they should be
> perfect? They will make mistakes as much as the next guy.

There is a flaw in this statement: If Jehovah guides these men, then why do they make mistakes? Why would Jehovah guide an organization and then allow that organization to put such a stain on his name by making false prophesies? Jehovah himself abhorred false prophets. The Bible is, so claims the Watchtower, without fault, and Jehovahs word always comes true. And this same Watchtower states that everything they say, comes directly from God himself. And yet, here they are, making false prophesies

Hope it helps, Viv.

How to See, Hear and Know God...

by AGuest in

jw

thus, when you see the consonants yhwh, it is in truth jhwh or jhvh and is pronouced yah-veh (hebrews pronounce js like ys and ws, like vs. my fathers name, then, is jah (jah) of armies (veh), jah, who brings armies into existence, or jah, who cause armies to become.. .

it is not, dear ones.

matthew 7:1; luke 6:37. in this light, gods laws are not burdensome!

Vivamus

First of all, you can't blame the little children. You really, honestly can't. And if God should exist, we are nothing but little children to him as well. SJ, I am not attacking you or anything, but come on! If you're little girl, or boy should step inside a car and gets hurt, you are not going to blame that kid are you? Blame the perpetrator. And yes, Id blame the parent should he stand by and watch! Now, no sane parent would do that of course, but it is exactly what God is doing. You've said so yourself, by your own reasoning.

Now, for me personally, I do not believe in God anymore, my feelings are best voiced with Epicures:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Peace to you all, Viv.

So What's Over Your Mantelpiece Then?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

time for a little honesty here folks!

how many here have actually visited or (worse) lived in houses where the following pics were on display?.

so who's going to be brave and post a pic of what's hanging over their mantelpiece?.

Vivamus

I don't have a digital camera over here anymore. But I have a lot of pictures hanging on the walls. The birth of Venus actually hangs on the door to my restroom...
