the 1 may 1957 at page 285 the watchtower states:.
16 with thankful hearts we acknowledge gods mercy and gratefully and willingly show our respect for jehovahs organization, for she is our mother and the beloved wife of our heavenly father, jehovah god.. what on earth is jehovah's [visible] organisation???
If Jehovah's Organisation is us, then how can it be our mother and the wife of God? I do not presume to be God's wife. Moreover how can we show respect to an abstract idea, which was the whole point of the Watchtower article?
You're not actually trying to understand this, are you?
do you believe that the wts is being protected assisted and guided by demonic powers despite their claim that they are strictly associated only with god and his spirit?
i personally think it is not a coincidence that many things happen in their favour it is for example the demons that fight the "apostates" to prevent them from damaging the wts by exposing their wrong doing.
they also help blind and mislead ppl to enter this destructive cult.

Considering that Jehovah's Witnesses have never been, are not and will never be the TRUE religion, one may wonder what god they are actually worshipping and what spirit is directing them. If, in fact, they are following the dictates of an evil segment of spirit world entities, then evidently the ignorant R&F are being directed by powerful forces which they are completely unaware of and powerless to oppose. If, instead, they are blindly following the dictates of men, then the power over the R&F is wielded by those individuals who have had decades to perfect techniques of human control. Some of us have been able to extract ourselves from the religion, and this may demonstrate that the WBTS is just a human institution controlled solely by humans. Then again, there may be forces for good within the spirit realm that have assisted us in effecting our release, thus frustrating the efforts of the evil spirits who seek to keep us ensnared. I have yet to see the proof either way, so for me the jury is still out.

I think about 80,000 of those on Taylor's are out of sympathy. They think he's got some kind of medical condition.

I think Ace is gonna take it.
further to the thread that minimus stated about 'still believing'....what i want to know is do any of you stil believe in jehovah?
that is, the named god of the bible that sanctioned the genocide of millions of unbelievers.
as the israelites came into the 'promised land' god told them to devote to destruction 7 populous nations and not let a breathing thing live, or in other words commit genocide!!!
I don't see gods sitting on throwns.
CAN YOU SEE ONE NOW?
i think that those here might find this interesting.
i wrote this letter to a jw friend regarding the word jehovah in the new testament.
it is a summary of information that i've collected and some original information.
Can't print it out, either.
have we heard the true story?
my exhaustive research has revealed an unthinkable chapter in jesus ministry.....cannibalism.. john 12:2.
1(a)jesus, therefore, six days before (b)the passover, came to (c)bethany where lazarus was, whom jesus had raised from the dead.
Not to worry, greendawn. Peacefulpete lost his ear trumpet and "heard" the story wrong.
to do or not to do--living donor hepatectomy in jehovah's witnesses: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1600-6143.2005.00810.x .
living donor liver transplantation has come to be an acceptable alternative to deceased donor transplants.
several ethical issues related to living donation have been raised in the face of reported perioperative morbidity and mortality.
Liver may only be kashered by the broiling method, because it has so much blood in it and such complex blood vessels.
"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a little chianti." I wonder if Hannibal kept kosher?
most of you have seen me post under my alias truthsetsonefree.

It was my kids who turned me in...
Look at the positive...you taught them well. Too well.
