think about this: if seven times mean only 7 years then daniel could have simply said 7 years.
why does daniel specifically use the word 'times' rather than years?
as we have already shown daniel used the word for 7 times instead of 7 years.
In addition to AuldSoul's post 4212, on thirdwitness's web site he makes a statement excluding the faithful and discreet from spiritual authority. This alone would require disfellowshipping as it is on a public forum, and written for fellow Jehovah's Witnesses. He would be seen as 'causing divisions', and it may also be seen as a sin against the spirit (and we all know what that means).

i know that all religions have their flaws, so do you agree that witnesses should call themselves christians or are they 'too un-christian'?.
the baptism, i think proves its different, they are baptized into an organization, that forms part of the questions...agreeing that the society is god's earthly representation.. personally i feel they are not christians.
ll call themselves Christian, however they still follow the law of Moses in many cases. Jehovahs witnesses are not allowed to have a relationship with Jesus. If fact, if a witness be promoted the love of Christ, he would be disfellowshipped.

(definition).
in this thread we will examine chapter 18 of the book what does the bible really teach?, entitled baptism and your relationship with god.. .
is there any scripture provided to support the statement?
AuldSoul: I'm not so sure the Chewbacca Defense really qualifies as an example of sophistry. Sophistry is supposed to make sense when seen with cursory scrutiny. It is only after digging deeper that the fallacies of logic and deceits are revealed.
The episode is a parody of the Cockran defence, which was sophism.
:She thinks the UN/DPI Section Chief got it wrong and won't admit it, or that the WTS got it wrong? If the latter, I agree with her.
She thinks the WTS got it wrong.

thirdwitness,
You still haven't updated you web site regarding your apostate interpretation of the authority of the faithful and discreet slave. Can I ask, is this your position, or just a mistake?

i'd really like to know if any of my old friends are hanging around in here.
i know how scary it is to even think of revealing yourself so if it helps just send me a private message.
perhaps we could meet up for lunch or a drink sometime.. i was in northampton until 1988 when i moved to milton keynes and became 'inactive' in 2000. don't worry, i know how to keep my mouth shut if that's important to you.
The Greyhound in Haversham !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've never quite understood the big deal about men leaving the toilet seat up but since i hear so much about it i try to comply.
i do have a pet peeve.
sometimes when i lift the seat there are obvious signs on the underside that a female has used it and not bothered to 'tidy up'.
flyinghighnow:Dig: I think guys should stand up. I just want you to lift the seat while you pee. Lower it when you're done. Look for stray pee and clean it up. If you do that, I'll try not to leave my lingerie soaking in the sink for too long.
What makes you think we don't pee in the sink?
steve
Okay Guys,
I have to confess.
It me!
Yeah I know, you can't believe it, but it's true.
I'm a sad individual with no self respect, and an ego of minus twelve. I just needed some personal justification of id.
Who'd of thought eh?
steve
i am angry because my adult children who are active jw's think i should be dead or suffer for not being a witness and i supported them comfortably and they shunned me and show hate i am sad and probably won't do the chemo thing and just let nature take its course.
any ideas?
i am taking pain meds so this is probably messed up with my message help.
hambeak,
Talk to your doctor about how you feel about your therapy, and how you are emotionally effected by the conversations you have with your kids. Explain, if you haven't already, your history with him/her regarding the nature of being a jehovah's witness. Your doctor will know you more than a poster here on JWD, and will help you. Your therapy is number one on your list of things to do.
Along with that, know that people here at JWD have experienced similar things, and talking with us can help.
Most of us here, while under the influence of 'Brooklyn' control said and acted on things that were bizarre by common decency standards. However, we eventually reached a point where it had to stop. Your kids may someday reach that same point. You never know.
Stick around a while, and some day you may be surprised.
Take care.

I'm not sure what you are saying here? Are you saying that you will not commit to your therapy?
PLEASE, advise!
