  Raymond Franz's Betrayal

  by IslandWoman in

  thanks for calling this to my attention.

  my reason for not wanting book material to be run on certain web sites is purely because of finding their approach out of harmony with my own principles and standards, so many are engaged in watch tower trashing and extremely negative.

  some sites present material that promotes agnosticism and distrust of the scriptures, even atheism (one such site being in scandanavia).

  Many are thirsty and hungry. If they are not fed they will die. Ray Franz and others of his ilk must speak out here!
  IW

  Ray Franz and others who have left the Watch Tower because of their conscience, because they could not accept the hypocrisy anymore, have been accused of doing so because they wanted to start their own religion.... because they were haughty and lacked humility....

  If Ray did what you want him to do, think how that would be preceived by all these people in the organization who have spread these rumors about him starting a new religion ??? New amunitions to discredit him and what he stands for.
  And he is very busy, working on a new printing of the third edition of CoC. and much more...

  What I find amusing is that the Watch Tower Society who pretends to be God's only true organizationhas made so many wrong decisions over its 125 years existence...
  Gosh, if God is leading the old farts in Brooklyn, why so many errors, why the double standards, why the deathly doctrines, why pedophiles, why shunning, why the wrecking of so many families, why, why, why ?

  above is a picture whereby the scarlet beast of revelation 17 is portrayed, with the harlot aboard.

  (i found it somewhere on the internet on friday.

  ) notice the horns ... the manner in which they are presented as being shared by all but one of the seven heads.

  Undecided,
  

  Death is going to get us all and after that no one knows....

  I completely agree with you.
  I can't understand why anyone would want to spend so much time trying to interpret these old dreams....

  Elect Your GB Member Here & Now.

  this is just for fun, but imagine if you will the following scenario.. the gb are dropping like flies and the remainder are desperate to find some replacements before the whole shebang is taken over by non-annointed ones.. news comes in of a middle-aged anointed bro who sounds as if he will fit the bill perfectly.

  no-one at brooklyn has met him yet, so they send for him to be interviewed with a view to him sitting on the gb if approved.. on the flight to new york the prospective gb newbie suffers a heart attack, and as he expires he drops his wallet under the seat, the wallet also contains a letter with the details of his forthcoming interview.. by an amazing coincidence, the person sat immediately behind the victim is an active poster from jw discussion.

  he spots the wallet, and upon reading its contents he decides that he will impersonate the defunct would-be gb member in the hope of eventually becoming part of the gb himself.

  For a fact, both Christendom as well as the Society ARE mistaken in their views regarding exactly where the 10 horns are perched on the wild beast.

  Explain to me why it would be so important where and on which head of the beast the horns are situated ?
  Scratching my head (which has no horns that I know of...)

  I don't know about the cheese,
  but some California wines are really enjoyable.
  Chile and Argentina wines (merlot) are good too.

  Mr.Ben,
  

  smelly cheeses and expensive wines!

  Aaaahh.... french cheeses, real cheese... You know what the Americans call cheese around here ? these slices of processed stuff packed in clear plastic... Urgh !
  About expensive wines... In France you can get a bottle of simple Cote du Rhone for only 25 or 30 Francs (what's that in Euros ?)
  Here in the US, you get "Gallo" wines... Burk !

  it's "international women's day".. it seems to me that it would be kinda nice if we started dwelling on some good things.

  god knows we've seen enough negative to last a long time.. anyway, what good things can you think of to celebrate international women's day?.

  how about the women who've made a difference?.
