i havent seen any specific comments on the latest jw only watchtower (june 15th) so i offer the following brief notes to support what i perceive to be an increasing trend on obeying the fds & stressing the publications.. things from which we must free .

par 11: true christians have an obligation to warn members of babylon the great.

one way they do this is by distributing bibles & related literature published by the fds.

The emphasis seems to be more and more directed toward worship of the "Slave" In my recent judicial committee meeting it was stated among other things that We need to be completely loyal to the "Slave" and it's teachings. I'm sorry folks, complete loyalty for this guy is to the Master, Jesus Christ, and him only. seek2find

When you went out in field service

It's funny how many people "just don't feel well" on Saturday mornings. Or get up and look at the weather channel and say "it's just too cold today" and the excuse list goes on and on. If they do muster up the courage to go, sometimes it's this "I think I'll just do calls today" The question in my mind is if it's a life saving message, why all the excuses? If the neighbors house was on fire and they were asleep inside, would we make excuses? Maybe if the witnesses were preaching a real life saving message they would be more aggressive. I've often wonder how much JW's that are suppose to be in "Service" contribute to McDonald's or Starbucks profits. I'd bet it's significant. How about spreading the real Gospel message without all the pressure and hype and excuses. Jesus said that he was "the way and the truth and the life" Why not just tell others that simple message, along with some of the other messages in the Bible and forget the organized door to door effort that spreads a message that is subject to change with the next issue of the Watchtower? Makes more since to me. seek2find

One of the most common symptoms of MS is fatigue. Some people find it almost crippling. You can get so tired that you just collapse. Contrary to what another poster on this thread says, you may have MS. If you do, you may not get an accurate diagnoses until you have several more attacks. Some people go for 10 to 15 years and several attacks before the truth finally comes out. Don't be surprised if you wake up some day and can not see correctly. The optic nerve is a frequent place of attack. seek2find

Jeff: Reading this thread made me think about the book by Sheldon called "In his steps" In the book, a homeless man goes to several people in a town looking for a Job, home and help in general and gets none. He finaly goes to the Church on Sunday and stands up and confronts the audience and tells them off about not being like Jesus, which leads to the whole church or most of them living different lives. It's an interesting book and concept. The book was the founding place of the popular phrase "What would Jesus do" The book is available for free online. To me the poster would be more effective without the profanity, but still it make a valid point. seek2find Of the official "no longer a Jehovah's Witness" class

It's like an alcoholic being told they have a diesese. It give them an emotional excuse for their actions. "I can't help it" "It's not my fault" it's because of my illness. seek2find
