RIP
You keep talking about having a one on one relationship
with Jehovah[I'm assuming thats the father in your thinking]
But you can't get there from here. Why don't the witness's
witness about Jesus[the son] like the apostles did. We can
only have a relationship with the SON at present how do you
think you can have one with only the FATHER.Remember
every knee will bend in the heavens on the earth and[i love
this part] under the earth an account of HIS[JESUS] name.
There is only one way to the FATHER why is HE put in charge
of the second school. This is not where the apostles but HIM
One other thing I'm a little confused on; if we are suppose
to be happy that the faithful and discreet slave are dieing off.
Seems like we are and then we are not well really dosen't
matter its JUST a parable not a prophecy . Also THAT
evil slave is the very same slave as the faithful.
Faithful slave-Russell
Evil slave-Rutherford and succesors
Then the evil slave is cut assunder, couldn't be what just
happened to the the G.B. [resigning and all] could it?
Now i'm not claiming to be some kind of bible scholar
or anything but I can sure do as good as the people who
print that rag in Brooklyn.
Rip I have know hard feelings about any of the Faithful who
have done me or my family wrong they were jusy obeying
the gospel according to the wbts. I do have a problem with
the society all of it; nothing is truthful nothing is really biblical.
For anyone to think this organization can be tweeked or all
we have to do is change this or that and it will all be good.
Still dosen't realize that this evil organization has been in the
dark ever since the time of Russells death. It dosen't need to
be tweeked it needs to be blown up. So let it be written so let
it be done.

as we all know words have meaning and when used in the right way can be very powerful- yet if used in the wrong way they lose all of thier meaning.. here is my question -- for over 130yrs the guys in the writing and service dept starting with russell right down to today with gene smalley, sam buck, john wischuk and all the rest of the boys up at patterson have used the following words over and over and over.
1. very shortly.

I thought I would have the party in NY-NY
But on second thought I think I'll have it across
the river at Stephen's. He already has the coors-lite
I just need to bring the Captain and coke along with
party hats. Trust me there will be a lot of"dancing in the
streets"
NOW REV:1-3 look again at what is said ; then go to
REV chapter seven-the 144000. A remnent is not spoken
of here. It is all of the group. These people are alive because
the angel says hold on there I have to mark these so they
don't get destroyed. So the great day passes over them.
Thus all the apostles[except John] were dead by now
along with Stephen and many many other first century
discples.Yet the 144,000 won't be sealed for a short time
yet. So is Paul, James, Peter , and the rest part of the
144,000. I think not but and a big but at that they were
annointed. Just my 2 cents it is what is written isn't it. -

I believe the writers who have been direct by spirit[please
add the spirit that fits your belief at present] have used
those words the correct amount of times[although they
will use them a few more times]. For it aides my writings
of soon and shortly. VERY SOON the once and mighty tower
will crumble and fall into the east river. SHORTLY there after
I will throw a large party. Want to come? -

Praise the LORD;
For all of those out there waiting for the 'new system' to
solve all mans ills. Didn't OUR LORD and SAVIOR cure
ills when HE walked even though HE knew it was only a
bandaide for the present momemt. Are not we encouraged
to follow the"GREAT TEACHERS" example. I know we can't
raise the dead or make the blind see. But we can do many things for all are brothers[humanity] world wide can't we?
Even if is just to alert some one of a child molester, what a
little thing and yet oh soooo big. So find a cause that burns
inside you and do something like the LORD would want
you to. Remember what you do to the least of these my
brothers you do to me. Isn't this really the 'GOOD NEWS'
that you show love to those who can't help themselves.
Isn't that what HE did for us. Also to spread the WORD
far and wide JESUS came, JESUS died, and lo and behold
JESUS rose again. Who did that JESUS,who JESUS,
JESUS JESUS JESUS.[K.M. school repitition for emphasis]
LOVE and PEACE to ALL. -

i am new
by knight ini have read the various posts here an i have my own story to tell i amstill a witness not as active as i used to be but stillfaithful i think the main problem that jws have is that they put c.o's m.s's elders and the like on pedestals and when you do that you set yourself up for a letdown and when that person does something you dont think is right you are letdown but one should not let this block his/her relationship with jehovah.

What encouragement? Do you mean reading the gospel
according to the wbts and obeying its every word. Although
following it may cost a loved ones life.[flip-flop] on transplants.
Or do you mean there accurate dates of bible prophecy
1877-79,1914-15-19-25; I also believe there was a date
in the thirties and of course 1975. My family and I still vomit
every once in a while over that one. Sometimes it takes a long time to get a good meal out of your system.[family sold house,
no college for me] Yes a very good meal it was. We all partook
it was very encouraging. You must mean the governing body
stepping down at least now we have real business men tyring
to make money for this non-profit organization. I know its the
love that is shown, I mean my Dearest Brother went to the
hall not to long ago and the only one that said hello was the
speaker and he was from another congragation. Well i've been
talking to him about where I go. So he went to one in his state
Didn't know anyone HE got smiles and hello's even the
minister introduced himself to him because there was a
new face, I guess this elder knows his flock,. AT the hall I was part of the watchtower elder didn't even know 15% of the flocks name that he is suppose to be in charge of. He could not believe the warmth that was shown to
him. Amazing thing HE felt like JESUS was there I must say
that sounds encouraging to me. So again I ask what encourgement? -

HI,
My name is Mark and I've been laid off for 5 weeks now.
I've been working in the computer chip bis. for about 4
years now and well if you have stock in Motorolla or
Intel I don't need to tell you what happened. I really
just try to take things one day at a time. Like the council
be happy with what you have today. God knows what
you need so just lean on him. I also have a great family
even though the organization has tried to rip it a part. For
the most part they don't obey the council when it comes
to immediate family, Praise the Lord for that. In your trying
times I'll be praying for you and your family please do the
same for me. There is great power in a multitude of prayers.
Smile and Breath deep for all is well today and really what
else do we have. -

God as editor/Jesus directing FDS
by stephenw20 inlast night, the opening of the mailbox revealed the may 15,2001 watchtower.
my initial instinct was to drop it in the garbage on the way to the house, but i would have had to walk around the house to do it and my hands were full.
i don't normally read them,but of late with all the "choice morsels" from the past coming out , i just wanted to flip through and see where they are heading now..........and see if any gems of gold existed inside.

Now the LIGHT shines brightly. All this time I thought the
New Testament was important but It was edited by only
JESUS the son. Now I've realized my misstep, after all
the gospel of the watchtower is edited by GOD[FATHER]
not JESUS who is just A god just the son. Guess I need
to backtract at the next crossroad. Heres a favorite line
for you. "I'm thinking and wondering walkin' down the road
I once loved an organization a cult I'm told. I gave it my
heart but it want my soul. But don't think twice its alright.
It just kinda wasted all of our precious time" Hey and
Eric is wailing in the background[I could probably re-do
the whole song] Peace Love and Happiness to all.
