"Paris just feels she's more grown up now, and while she's not renouncing her Christian values," she doesn't want to go door-to-door for Jehovah's Witness forever."
There is SOOO much Irony in this statement!

Michael Jackson's kids decide no more going door-to-door
by Gopher inthis article made my day.
it looks like paris jackson and her brother prince michael have told katherine they simply aren't interested in peddling jw stuff from door-to-door any more.
i'm glad they are becoming their own people and emerging from their grandmother's control.. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/paris-jackson-prince-michael-jackson-jehovas-witness/.

Do WT Bible NWT pick and choose word meanings to suit their agenda?
by *lost* incan anyone offer thoughts on this.
any examples.
i just discovered this.. nwt v kjb isaaiah 14;12. kjv - uses lucifer.

Yeah they do!
My favorite example to point out is Eph 4:8 Every translation reads he gave gifts TO the men but for some reason (guess) the NWT reads he gave GIFTS IN MEN?!? Even the WT kingdon interlinear translates it gifts to the men!
Of course we know they use this scriture to advance their 'divine' appointment or role ;-)

Just a heads up most folk who have served at bethel Havent got a clue of whats really going on!
You have a few special folk like Barb anderson who have been privy to whats behind the curtain, but trust most of them have been weeded out.
I know folks like to believe bethelites know whats going on and turn the other cheek but as a whole thats not the case.

by elder-schmelder inasher allen, a defensive back who has played three seasons for the vikings and who just turned 24 years old, has abruptly retired.. vikings coach leslie frazier told reporters today that allen informed the team last week that he decided to call it quits.
frazier described himself as very surprised by allens decision, and its impossible not to be surprised: nfl players just dont walk away from the game, by choice, at the age of 24.. .
allen retired because he recently became one of jehovahs witnesses.

I find it interesting that some would recommend articles written by apostates. Really, if you had been alive in the 1st century and you would have had questions about Jesus teachings, wouldn't you have gone to Jesus or one of his faithful apostles for answers? Surely you wouldn't have gone to Judas Iscariot, because he was a traitor.Why then would someone want to go to a traitor to learn about Jehovah's Witnesses?

This is very commendable and encouraging. Putting Jehovah God first is of the utmost importance. He does care for those who put trust in him. Keep up the good work.

Former Minnesota Viking Asher Allen plenty busy with ministry, dairy council
By Bob Sansevere
[email protected]
Posted: 02/13/2013 12:01:00 AM CST
Updated: 02/13/2013 07:09:54 PM CSTFormer Minnesota Viking Asher Allen is shown watching drills during training camp in Mankato on Monday, August 3, 2009. (Pioneer Press: Chris Polydoroff)
Questions with Bob ...Asher Allen had been a decent cornerback for the Vikings when he retired unexpectedly in May 2012. He had suffered a couple of concussions, but he was only 24 years old and walked away from a $615,000 salary.
The Vikings moved on without him and thoughts of Allen faded -- until last week. He resurfaced in a blurb from the Midwest Dairy Association, for whom he writes a blog. He also has some interesting factoids about his life on the group's web site: "I am currently volunteering my time as a full-time minister of Jehovah's Witnesses. I have always enjoyed eating healthy and exercising. I love fishing, reading, cooking, golf and photography, and what's best is spending time with my wife, Brittany, in all those activities."
I checked in with Allen recently.
BS: What have you been doing since you retired from football?
AA: We've been doing the blog and when I was playing I was doing a lot with the Dairy Council, such as speaking engagements and things like that. I kept that going and came out with an idea of doing a blog, writing about my passion for food and exercise. My wife and I are sharing in volunteer ministry work in the Chanhassen area.
BS: Do you miss football?
AA: Yeah. That's natural to say. You miss something you did for 16 years. It was fun watching this season. I've seen it from a different angle.
BS: Was it tough leaving a $615,000 salary for the 2012 season on
the table?
AA: For my wife and I, it was a decision we came to. God tells us he'll provide all the things we need when we put him first in our lives. We've definitely seen it in our lives. We had that feeling inside we wanted to do more. Being able to leave at that time was best for us.BS: Did you retire because of concussions?
AA: It was part of the equation. I try not to make that the theme of why I left. I was 24 years old and getting out of bed a little differently. We wanted the quality of our lives. I wanted to have a body where I could do more. When I played the game I did it for the love of the game and for fans and the community. We wanted to give back to the community in a different way. We study the Bible with people and decided for our love of God and love of neighbors we wanted to give back to neighbors.
BS: How did you get involved with the Midwest Dairy Association?
AA: I always was in the Vikings' kitchen talking with chefs for the team. I'd get recipes for them. They knew I had a love for food. The team already had communication with the Midwest Dairy Association. They thought it was a good fit. I've been doing it for the last four years.
BS: I noticed in your biography you're a Jehovah's Witness. While you're visiting with people, have you been recognized as a former Viking?
AA: You know what? If I walked around with (jersey number) 21 on my chest, they probably would. People look at me and say, "You don't play football. You're too small."
BS: Do you use your former status as a football player to your advantage?
AA: No, I don't. When we go door to door we try to emulate the example of Jesus Christ. We focus on the kingdom of God and that's what we try to concentrate on.
BS: Do you still follow the Vikings?
AA: Oh, man, yes. I'm still in contact with a lot of my teammates and coach (Leslie) Frazier. I have a lot of respect for the Vikings' organization. That is really a class organization.
BS: Is the door completely shut on playing football again?
AA: You know what? My wife and I chose to make our ministry our career. I would say it would be something I'd never turn to.

What I take from the Watchtower's cunning efforts to keep us away from God and his message the gospel.
by Fernando infrom my experience, by telling us ordinary folk jesus is not our mediator, the watchtower keeps us from a personal relationship with god.
misdirection.. similarly by keeping us away from god's message, the unabridged gospel, the watchtower keeps us blind, ignorant, subservient, passive, docile and captive.
suppression.. because there is a conflict between our "authentic self" and "cult self" mental distress or "cognitive dissonance" arises.

So...why is taking blood essentially viewed as unforgivable by the WT?
by sd-7 inbeen hearing about this 'grey's anatomy' episode, and while i didn't see it, it brought up a question i wanted to throw out there, albeit a long-winded one, as is my usual nature.. the fact that people would rather die than take blood, as if...if they take it, they're doomed for sure to not make the new system--it doesn't make sense to me.
people both in the organization and the bible stories are forgiven for heinous crimes, murder, adultery, child sacrifice, everything up to and including denying jesus altogether.
(let's not forget child molestation and rape, apparently...) so why does it seem like this one act is presented to jws as one that's never to be forgiven?.

I always wondered about that myself.
The so called 'command' was to abstain from blood and things sacrificed to idols and fornication! As we know people fornicate all the time but it was not the life and death consequence that blood transfusions took on?!?
