luke records the following:
and as they ministered to the lord, and fasted, the holy spirit said, "separate me barnabus and saul for the work whereunto i have called them.

Jim,
Acts 13:2 in the NASB, "While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
Taken alone this verse shows that the HS uses personal pronouns and has the authority to not only send out ministers but to call them for a particular work it itself identifies.

i've always wanted to know that.
my mum was telling me about this conversation she had with a jw that taught her the "truth," and that one of those speakers on the bible tapes was disfellowshipped and thought it might be raymond franz?
is that true?
Hi Inquirer,
The Gospel of John was the first Gospel the Society recorded in 1979, I believe the date is correct but not totally sure. Raymond Franz recorded that original tape but the Society re-recorded it after he left. I have his tape, he did a very good job. The brother who did the recording after him also did a good job. I do enjoy the British accents!

Poztate,
I have nothing to add. I disagreed with the decisions made, Simon knows this. He also knows, I hope, that I respect his efforts to help our friends in and out of the Org.
I have no quarrel with you or anyone here. I just want the freedom to express my thoughts, that's all.
Peace and happiness to you,

Skeeter,
P.S. IW, you are a just a stooge by the WTS.
So nice and easy it would be to think so. So neat. But, friend, I am disassociated. My public disassociation was read in the KH.
You don't really believe that all exJWs speak in unison and agree on every point do you? There is good reason that Raymond Franz does not post here and that Carl Olaf Jonsson and Jim Penton do not post here. There is much disagreement among the exJW community. If you are looking for "unity" of thought and action then I suggest you return to the JWs!

Sorry, Hubert, I didn't know this. You are entitled to your opinon Bro. and I respect it.

Poztate,
As far as I know I was not deleted. I believe you can go to "Island Woman's" history and note this for yourself.
But, if you would like IW to be deleted I suggest you start a campaign and gather as many signatures as you can.

Quotes,
ARSENICShe was on the mend and improving when they sent her off to a QUACK for a useless and dangerous "treatment".
Let me repeat:
ARSENIC
There is, according to what Lawrence told me, sufficient evidence that the ARSENIC, not the Leukemia, killed her. Let me repeat that: the ARSENIC, not he Leukemia, killed her.
Are you saying that when the Drs. released Bethany from the Hospital they told her she was recovering from the leukemia? Are you saying the blood transfusions worked?

BTW....Why did you start a new account here...You are not a newbe and posted as Island Woman for years?
I disagreed with a decision and left the board. The fact that I am allowed to post here again is a strong indication of the board owners tolerance and patience.

Hubert,
Hard as it may seem for you to believe most, if not all, at the top of the Watchtower believe the blood doctrine. Ray Franz himself believed it.
I respectfully find it a disgusting thing for someone who has not "walked the walk" yet, feels they can judge those who have. No one who has never been a JW can truly understand or can judge.
