  I should have added that the holy spirit is still able to comunicate accurate spiritual truths through his left side. So everything is cool.

  Convention Experience from Japan !

  From Gary Wong

  As part of a convention program in Japan , a sister was asked to give her experience of how she came into the truth. She explained about how she had wanted to study with the Witnesses, but that she first had to get permission from her father.

  Her father however was involved in the Japanese Mafia and was a very hard man. The Japanese Mafia has a reputation for being very harsh and brutal in their dealings with people. For example: rather than kill someone, they'll disfigure or maim them to cause them to suffer for the rest of their lives.

  When she asked her dad if she could study with the Witnesses, he immediately responded with an emphatic, "NO!" He told her that he would not allow any daughter of his to study with those people. She tried to explain how much this meant to her, but he still wouldn't give in to her pleadings.

  After many attempts on her part, he finally told her if it was that important to her, then she should be willing to sacrifice something for it. She told him that she was. He said that the price that she would have to pay in order to study with Jehovah's Witnesses would be to have one of her fingers cut off.

  She tried to reason with him; but soon realized that this would be the only way she would be able to study, so, she agreed! He had the first finger of the right hand cut off. She began her study.

  After a time, she wanted to start attending the meetings. She again had to ask her father for permission. He again told her that she would have to sacrifice another finger if she really wanted to attend the meetings. She agreed. And her father had the middle finger cut off.

  Then, she progressed to the point of baptism. The scenario was the same as before: He told her that she knew the price, and the ring finger of the same hand was cut off.

  Through all of this, she was so grateful to Jehovah for allowing her to be baptized and to serve him, that she gave no thought to the sacrifices she had made.

  The brother conducting the interview then asked the sister, "Now that time has passed, has your father any remorse over his actions towards you?" She said, "Why don't you ask him yourself... he's here today getting baptized!"

  Her father came out on the stage, hugged his daughter, and began to cry. He tearfully expressed how sorry he was for hurting his daughter in such a cruel way. He said he felt as if he could never make it up to her.

  The brother then asked the sister if she had any feelings of anger towards her father over what he had done to her. She replied, "If all it took was three fingers to gain my father as my brother, then it was well worth it!"

  How many of you knew about the"Jesus is not your Mediator" teaching when you were JWs??

  by Lady Liberty in

  hi everyone.... just curious how many of you knew when you were active, about the societys official teaching regarding jesus the mediator.

  i was floored to find in my research, that they teach jesus is the mediator for the 144,000 only.

  and it is only by our association with them that we might have salvation.. i don't know about you guys but i was blown away when i learned they taught this.

  Christ as Mediator

  14

  Like Moses, Jesus was a mediator. A mediator acts as a bridge between two parties.

  Moses mediated the Law covenant between Jehovah and the Israelites. If the sons of Jacob

  obeyed the Iaws of God, they would remain God's special properry his congregation.

  (Ex. 19:3-8) That covenant stayed in force from 1513 B.C.E. until the flrst century C.E.

  15

  In 33 C.E., Jehovah initiated a better cov enant with a new Israel, "the Israel of God,"

  which became a worldwide congregation made up of anointed Christians. (Gal. 6:16)

  While

  the covenant mediated by Moses included laws written by God on

  stone, the covenant mediated by Jesus is superior. laws are inscribed by God on human hearts. (Read 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews B;-?0.) "the Israel of God" is now God's special prop erly, 'a nation producing the fruits' of Messianic Kingdom. (Matt. 21:4 3) M e mbersof that spiritual nation are the participants in that

  new covenant. Still, they are not the only ones to beneflt from it. Untold multi tudes, even many who at present are

  asleep

  in death, will receive everlastingblessings because of that

  superlative covenant.

  (b) pressing on to maturity requires effort in what two areas?

  (read hebrews 5:14.

  2:10) moreover, their perceptive powers are trained through use--through application of what they know--helping them to distinguish right from wrong.

  Yes Jadeen, it is a conscience matter, until you do it. Then elders will speak to you and if you do not acquiesce to their conscience's, beg forgivingness, and promise never to do it again, well who nows where it will go. It is just like you do not have to hand in a service report. True you don't, but try it and you become first irregular and I don't mean going to the throne, then inactive. After that you will be considered to be all sorts of negative things by the elder body, treated like shitte and viewed as not having Jehovah's favor, or in JW speak not being one of them. bin there done that.

  once again our lurking jw friend sent us this latest mind control drivel from the " witness only " watchtower.

  remember - this is the information our jw relatives will study in their witness meetings at their watchtower study.

  this is what they are currently being indoctrinated with.

  reniaa . . . . how can 81/2 old farts in brooklyn keep watch over 7,000,000 worldwide. If they at least had the decency and good sense to keep emphasizing the "faithful slave" and the whole body of overseers in various capacities it would not be guite so naseating. But no, they have to agrandize themselves.

  Yes indeed, who knows what they will say in the future. In the past they have kept a rather low profile in a personal sense. Always written affirmation of their importance but low profile personally. All of a sudden the feigned humility seems to be maybe diminishing. Notice the fact that a picture of their smiling faces is included in the new book. They may be feeling "hurt" because of a less than stellar obedience of late, and feel that they must up the anti so to speak.
