Loubelle, Sounds like you have been affected by the prosperity gospel. I have heard in Africa they preach all the time about money and how you will be blessed if you just give more to the church. I have some friends that go to Africa in their holidays and help in the churches their. Barry

166i think i found a church
by unstopableravens ini really enjoyed church today, i have been visting serevel in the last few weeks, all the ones i have been to have been okay, but no more, but today i felt comfortable with everything i seen.
it seemed very doctrinally sound, christ centered and the big bonus i did not hear a word about money!
they did not pass a plate(i dont know if they do but today there was none).

Good time for R&F to preemptively question GB validity
by irondork inwith the new light in the july 15 watchtower, now might be the perfect time for rank and file members to question wether or not the big boys are who they say they are.
in light of the fact that the men who claim to be the sole channel of communication for all mankind could not even grasp their own identity for the last 100 years, wouldn't now be a good time to turn the tables on the elders who are so quick to drag a questioning dub to the back room and demand loyalty to the governing body?.
wouldn't now be a good time to put the july 15 watchtower in the middle of the table and ask to see the credentials on these men without fear of being suspected of apostacy?

Ive allways believed all it needs is for someone to find a chink in their armour and to drive a wedge there. Once pluralism is established there is no going back the elders then lose their authority.
Remember the emporior with no clothes

How about some Kingdom Melodys. Forget they have anything to do with the religion just pick on their merit

The books of the bible were decided and we have the first list about 370ad at the time of the secound ecumenical council when the trinity doctrine was decided on.
The books of the bible were chosen Matthew to hebrews and revelation was the last to be accepted because some people didn't believe it was written by john. Some books were rejected such as 'the shepherd ' written by a man named Hermas a cousin to the pope.
