I can't say for sure who was original author, but I loved words about witnessing. "Real Christian allways witnesses about Jesus and Gospel... if needed even with words"

JW's and Secular work?
by Honesty inwhy do they 'separate' their secular work from 'theocratic' activites?.
when i was in the watchtower lie, i always wondered why the dubs make such a distinction in their daily activities.
after i escaped and started making friends with worldlings who happened to be christians i learned that they make no distinctions between what they do as a profession and their witnessing about jesus to other people.

The Trinity... is it a false teaching as the WTBTS claims?
by Honesty inin the old testament god revealed himself to his chosen people, the israelites as i am:.
ex 3:14-15 - god replied to moses, i am who i am.

>John chapter one is symbolic, not literal.
Why? Because you can't believe what it says? Compare Rev 21:23 with Isa 60:19 -

Have any former JW's kept any beliefs ..
by MrsBee infrom your days as an active witness.... i.e.
the trinity - i know some former jw's who still dont believe in the trinity, and cant fathom there being one.
holidays - i mean, can you celebrate xmas without feeling guilty and if you celebrate xmas , do you celebrate it as jesus' b-day.. (i didnt know the origin until a couple of years ago.

Is baptism necessary?
by ozziepost inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/109844/1.ashx
this thread is prompted by some comments on the "unbaptised publisher" thread which was going off-topic so here's the comments thus far:.
stevenyc:the christian meaning of baptism is to have salvation.

What you need to be saved is - faith. Baptism is sacrament by means of which you recieve. Also you receive faith by hearing Word of God. Baptism for man is like soilf or seed. Faith is life in the seed, soil keeps it growing giving forgiveness and Holy Spirit. But soil itself does not guarantee that seed will grow. If seed is without life (faith) then baptism does not saves you. And also - if you read Bible (so through Word of God) and recieves faith and go to Chrurch and some car hit's you you still are saved coz on the moment of death seed has life in it (case of thief on the cross). But I doubt that it is real faith which denies need for baptism.

10 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.. .
9 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

WTBTS and Taxes in the UK.
by Gill in.
the wtbts, at least here in the uk, makes loans to congregations of jws for mortgages to build kh's at a 'reasonable rate of interest'.. does the wtbts pay tax on the interest it is making, since this is clearly not a charitable earning or donation?

May Be I am stupid, but USA laws does not apply to UK companies. And I guess WT is registered in UK and you have to see what status this UK firm has!
