Pleased to hear, Def'd. You are aware, though, that the WTS teaches that it is the sole channel of communication from Jehovah to the rest of the planet, correct? And you are aware that taking the position that you would not always follow its direction would be regarded as "independent thinking," which would alienate you from Jehovah, right? I am aware that they are the Channel of Communication from God. However if they were to tell us to do something that is not pleasing to Jehovah, than He expects us not to obey. In Ancient times when GODS APPOINTED Kings ruled over Isreal the people were expected to obey. However when some Kings turned to unfaithfulness by setting up idols and images and commanded the people to obey, would Jehovah expect them to obey? If they didnt obey would Jehovah punish them. No! Same today. D.

I dont like it period. It is to commercialised and has NOTHING to do with Jesus. It is actually a dishonoring Holiday. The whole thing is based on lies and untruths.D.

Is repititive imprinting of ideas a primary cult tactic?
by hubert inin a post by syn that lady lee has brought up again, there is this statement by syn.
i could underline my watchtower in 10 minutes, tops, and be sure that all the answers were right.
many esteemed researchers have shown that repetitive imprinting of ideas is a primary cult tactic, and i tend to agree with them.

Cheenie. Serve Jehovah because you love him, not so your mom will stay in. Your future is bright as long as you walk in Jesus way and serve God. Get an education so you have the means to support your self, all the while not putting Jehovah last and He will bless you.

How can you possibly take Christ out of the picture of Mediator and be satisfied to put imperfect men in his place?
Hun, we donot use the FDS as the mediator to Jehovah. When we pray we do not end our prayers like........" All this we pray through the FDS". We say in the name of Jesus, just as it is taught within the bible. The FDS is giving us food at the proper time. Jesus uses them to Shepard Gods Organization and thats it. I think you just do not understand what all this means. Mediator of New Covenant. I dont say that to be mean or to say you are dumb. So please do not take it like that.

guarantee you, I can pretty much assure you that if I came off the same way, BUT ONLY IN OPPOSITION TO JWs AND THE WATCHTOWER, I would not be getting these disrespectful things from most people
So true, my brother so true. I had a hard time with that for awhile. Until I figured this place out. Stay awhile my friend and as Jesus said....Be as innocent as a dove but as CAUTIOUS as a serpent.

I haven't responded to any of your points because arguing from the Bible is meaningless to me. It would be like if someone tried to prove a point to you by quoting the Koran. "See, it's all here in black and white!"I know this was directed to someone else but i have to say that you have a good point. If you do not believe in the bible as an authority than it would be pointless to prove a point from it.
