Emotional tension release
by greendawn inwhen you feel emotionally tense how do you release the tension?
by laughing, socialising, playing computer games, or some other way?
for me it's humour really funny ideas come to mind and make me laugh a lot, also by doing some sport such as swimming, listening to nice music and of course by socialising.

Yeah, its really bad for kids in the org. now days. Telling from recent posts and from the assembly drama, the society is really trying to keep a firm hold on the kids. As long as they salve for the org. the will be painful for them. Especially when education is discouraged and frowned down upon.

I have the power to conceal my true identity from others in my congregation. I have the power to appear calm when I'm really pissed off by something I've heard on the platform. I have access to the internet, my greatest ally against the forces of evil and boredom!

Beards are for hippies, commies, and other no-goodnicks. Besides, clean shaven is appropriate for good corperate folk.

Flash,
"Bad conduct and errors in understanding do not prove they aren't God's people. Again, look at Israel during the time of Jesus and look at Jesus's attitude and actions toward the religious establishment. The religious leaders had moved so far from where they should have been as 'God's People' that Jesus regularly rubuked them severly... Yet they where still God's people right up untill Jesus died faithfully. Also, the Jews also didn't understand prophecy that accurately either."
This same defense can be made for Catholicism, Protestantism, Fundamentalism, or any other Christian denomination/sect or any other monotheistic religion. As for bad conduct and errors, I think you're understating what is happening within this organization.
The core teachings you have listed are the core beliefs of some sects:
Seventh-day Adventist Church (where Russell got most of his teachings):
-Deny the trinity. (Before Ellen G. White's death)
-Jesus is Michael the Archangel.
-Deny immortality of the soul.
-Believe in a bodily resurrection.
-Believe in an imminent, pre-millennial, second advent.
-Attribute Orthodox Christian beliefs to a Geat Apostacy.
-Deny salvation to those outside the Church.Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
-Deny the trinity.
-Deny immortality of the soul.
-Believe in a bodily resurrection.
-Attribute Orthodox Christian beliefs to a Geat Apostacy.
-Deny salvation to those outside the Church.Christadelphians:
-Deny the trinity.
-The Holy Spirit is an impersonal force
-Deny immortality of the soul.
-Believe in a bodily resurrection.
-Attribute Orthodox Christian beliefs to a Geat Apostacy.
-Are conscientious objectors (but not pacifists), and refrain from involvement in politics.In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses originated with Seventh-day Adventist teachings. The Adventists are also guilty of many false predictions and Russell has done the same. In fact, Russell had made more false predictions than the Adventists ever did. So I am not going to take it easy on Russell. He was arrogant, irrresponsible, and deceptive. This is evident from his writings which filled with nonsense. Throughout The Finished Mystery, for example, he dismisses all the clergy who criticised him as "dumb dogs." It seems quite clear to me that it was the dumb dogs who were correct a along. Russell alson died rich and famous. He traveled the globe to teach about his home made religion.
But you have made it clear that you will believe the Jehovah's Witnesses regardless of what anybody says. Suit yourself.

"I do believe the ancient Israelites, especialy during Jesus time, are an accurate comparison to the Witnesses today, particularly their Leadership."
So basically you think the witnesses are God's "chosen people" because they seem to be similar to the Israelites. All you are doing is seeing connections that don't really exist. You're playing the same game the WTBTS plays by perceiving "parallels" between stories in scripture and events that happen during modern times. But you have absolutely no proof that the witnesses are God’s people, but there is tons of evidence that shows that they are not. What is so frustrating about your posts is that you still cling to the teachings of the self-anointed elite whom you identify as the evil slave. You give a list of teachings that are supposedly unique to the witnesses:
Jehovah is not a trinity.
Jesus is God's first creation.
The Angelic rebellion is the source of all our troubles.
The Great Tribulation and Armageddon are literal and coming.
God will use the worlds governments to destroy world religion.
The Thousand Year reign is real.
The Resurrection is the only hope for the dead.
The Little Flock will be a literal Heavenly Government.
Satan and his Demons have a finite time to exist and will be terminated.
But none of these are unique to the witnesses, but have been espoused by all sorts of sects and denominations at some time or another. But why should you believe any of these doctrines that you list here? Weren’t these the interpretations and teachings of the tyrants you supposedly freed yourself from? I find it especially irritating how you try to defend Russell, even though he was just as much a tyrant as Rutherford or any of those other fools that came after him. The man was driven by his own egotism. Have you ever considered the possibility that their teachings are just as false as their predictions? Their scholarship is unreliable; they could care less about discovering truth but enforcing doctrine. You may think you have freed yourself from these guys, but you still think like a witness.
