My question is, who foots the bill for sending the PO's and elders there???? Is it going to be the congregation or are the attendees going to be given the priviledge of paying for the transportation themselves?

Studies on the "Name of God" - PDF files
by Doug Mason inthe wts pats itself on the back for revealing the name of the true god.
it claims that through superstition and by deliberate action, jews and apostate christianity have hidden the name.. the truth is, the name jehovah that the wts reveals is not gods name but a confused and mistaken concoction.
the wts has inserted this mistaken name into its nt, using english characters.. in hebrew thought, a name is the very person, it is not a handle.

Did/Does God really love people?
by buffalosrfree inat john 3:16 god says he loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believed in him will have everlasting life.
yet in revelation satan and the demons were kicked out of heaven and hurled to the earth.
how is that loving, what could possibly be the reason he would do that if he really loved us.

I mean he supposedly made a good yard for us to play in, grow food in, grow in, etc, and yet planted a lion in our midst. Is this a true sign of love? Me thinks NNNNNOOOOOTTTTT.

Holy spirit bears witness with them....
by The Scotsman inhowdy folks.
had a chat the other day with an elder who lnows jws all over the world and he was telling me that in a u.s. cong a sister has just decided she is one of the 144000 - she is 41 years old.
in the same cong a brother aged 55 has recently decided he is one of the immortals as well.. they both claim that the holy spirit has bore witness to them.. what do you think such ones are actually feeling?

Its all personal, if we are christians and followers of Christ, then we have been anointed with holy spirit so to speak, There is no just 144,000 that's just al load of BS put out by the society so that they can separate themselves from the rest. If there truly was just 144,000 so called discreet and faithful slaves then there would in fact be input from all of them, not just a few people there in Bethel, the majority of which aren't "anointed" at all. I had pointed this out to an elder some years ago and he responded with Eph. 4:11 and 1Cor. about all being a different part of the body. I told him if they really believed that they (the society and their counter parts the elders) wouldn't be expecting all people to be out in the ministry because as you pointed out, Eph. 4:11 shows not all but only some are this and that. Well he just shut up and told me I was being unreasonalbe and I pointed out to him, that no I wasn't unreasonalbe it was him and the Society that was being unreasonable.

The "I am Legend" title reminds me of just how the Society thinks of themselves, they are definitely legends in their own minds.

JWD scholars, I need a bit of help finding something ...
by AuldSoul indoes anyone know where i can find reprints of the "resolutions" that comprise the "scorpion stings" and the "trumpet blasts" of revelation as explained in the revelation climax book?.
i have lately become very curious about the contents of these resolutions and proclaimations, since the wts currently praises the bible students for publishing and distributing these "scathing denunciations".. i bet they are just filled with false prophecies, too.
my idea is to show the resolutions in question and ask: even if the "trumpet blasts" really are divine judgment messages, would outstandingly bold false predictions reasonably be any part of these divine judgment messages?.

Answer to the ? Do you believe this is Gods Organization?
by darth frosty init seems that this is the catch all question that elders like to use to prove apostasy or just to get rid of you.

Tell them you want to believe that they are God's org, but extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence don't you agree? Then let them piss and fish around with that for awhile.

What Did Noah Do With All The Animal manure Piling Up In the Ark?
by frankiespeakin inthey were in the ark for such a long time, must have been pretty messy not to mention unhealthy, must have been a high mortality rate, causeing wide spead disease, and death due to the very unsanitary condition in that ark?
imagine being locked up in that mess for a moment..

they probably ate it and that's why this story of Noah's supposed survival in that matter is so full of it.
