God does not need anything. He is sufficient in himself.
So do children of God need organization? Well... question is what you mean by "organization"? To be organised - yes. To have kind a Brooklin WT - no. God himself organizes his children through Holy Spirit and by his Word. And I guess it is in nature of whole living that people with common background, interests and motives gather in one place (spiritually).
So all Vietnam veterans ARE Vietnam veterans and this "Vietnam veterans" is this "organisation". You may be live in jungle, but if you are of this group, you are in the organization.
Remember where disciples of Jesus told that they rebuked one who preaches in His name. And they forbid it to him coz he was not with them. But Jesus knew that he IS, but not in visible way but in Spirit. To be in God's organization is to be in Christ.

Well this is what you get when you mix cause with consequence! I assume that when apples are ready appletrees use their energetic to cause the wind to drop all the apples as seeds.

'Jehovahs Day Approaches'
by Shazard inon may 1, 1998, watchtower published an article entitled 'jehovahs day approaches' .

Is that article really speaking about locust in Joel and Revelation 9 as Jehovah's Witnesses and Abadon as Jesus Christ himself? I guess CD is not reliable source allready, as they change and edit it.
Also is it scanned ther? I guess it is plain text only. It would be nice to have real paper scan of the article if it really talks about the things. -

Silent Witnessing?
by Shazard ini can remind that i am here coz of my brother who is jw.
its over year past we last talked about matters of faith (no we didn't stop speaking atall - just matters of faith) as we find that we do believe different things (i am lutheran).
it would be pretty stupid from my side all the times to direct him in different topics etc.

Hello!
I can remind that I am here coz of my brother who is JW. Its over year past we last talked about matters of faith (no we didn't stop speaking atall - just matters of faith) as we find that we do believe different things (I am Lutheran). It would be pretty stupid from my side all the times to direct him in different topics etc. His mind is typical JW mind, so it is useless to witness to him when he does not initiates the talk.
Question... are there ways to witness without actuall witnessing to JW? As I understand JW judge and sees things around through their prism, is it possible to have some behaviour some way of "silent witnessing" which makes them think and doubt? I believe I am asking something I cleary not understand what am I asking, but except words what else can open their eyes? Or should I wait for his own wakeup (which can be in year, 2, 5, 10, 20, never) and just be there when he will be shunned?
For now nothing more then prayers I don't have, time of talk is over :( -

Are we going to Hell?

You have to bee damn sure that Hell is invention just to ignore it.
I still havent seen any proof of such a bold claim. All "proofs" are some kind of genetic fallacy!
And yes, Hell should scare ppl. Question is, if you are scared of height, wat you do? Stop believing gravity or just take precosions to not climb trees and roofs?
Sometimes people take warnings as form of scaring.
And Here is million dollar question. IF (just IF) there is Hell, would you like to know about it and how to avoid it? -
