  Hi Makena1,

  If you do not turn in a time card (I forget the actual term for it) at the end of the month you become irregular. If you continuously don't report your time, you become inactive. At this point you are no longer counted in as a "publisher". So technically you are only considered a JW if you report time. Meeting attendance, personal study, prayer, good Christian conduct etc. are pointless if you don't go out in service. The last meeting I ever attended had a talk where they brought this point out crystal clear. Since I could not go to people's doors and blantantly lie to them any more, it became pointless to continue associating. Like others who posted in this thread, I am neither DF'd or DA'd but just faded into oblivion, but I DO NOT consider myself a JW anymore.

  this is really cool, if you have nothing better to do.

  think of a dictator or tv sit-com character, and answer all the questions as if you were that character.

  the system will figure out who you are.

  Hi Blondie,

  The magazines still come in the mail? They stopped that in Canada at least 10 years ago. I thought it was like that everywhere. Instead of mailing them, we used to drive slowly around town delivering them, and the big pay-off was we could count the time.

  So, who REALLY were/are the "Nephilim"?

  by AGuest in

  may you all have peace!.

  once again, i have received a 'writing' on my heart, which i am directed to share with any and all who will 'receive' it.. for many years, the wtbts and others have taught the "nephilim" to be the offspring of angels who had relations with the daughters of men, half-breed beings that wreaked havoc in a violent way in the earth during the days of noah, just prior to the flood.

  that, dear ones... is an error... and a lie.. by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, that is in me by means of christ, i say to you that the "nephilim"... are spirit creatures, ancient beings... 'of old'... princes from the spirit realm, the 'wicked spirit forces'... that came to the earth to 'fell' earthling man in the days of noah.. these being are those that i saw standing to the left of my father's throne, shrouded in darkness, and 'egging' on the 'battle' between to the two brilliant cherubs on the ark, the 'arkangels', which i related to you previously on h20.

  On the subject of Adam and Eve... (sort of):

  Does the Genesis account of the temptation of Eve really not say more about the sin of pride than an issue of "Universal Sovereignty"? When I read that account, I see that Eve was offered to be like God, not replace him. See Gen 3:5. The offer was to be "like God, knowing good and bad". This is what appealed to Eve. Once again, I feel the JWs missed the point on this one. How many times in the Bible does God condemn a haughty spirit? It's almost a constant theme. It's still a problem today. The ego which works in all of us, still tries to make us like God. We crave praise, and to some extent even worship.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi Teejay and Tatiana,

  The writings I mentioned are from a compilation called the Forgotten Books of Eden. Besides the account of Adam and Eve, there is a book called "The Secrets of Enoch". Remember how the Bible states that God took Enoch away? (Gen 5:24) This book describes where he went, and what he saw. In fact reading these accounts fills in the gaps where the book of Genesis is very vague. Whether you view it as fact or myth would be totally dependant on how you view the Bible account of Genesis. If you think it's a myth, than these books will enhance the myth. If you believe the Bible, you would be astounded by what you read.

  I think you can get this at Chapters. It's $17.99 US ($23.99 CAD)The complete title is "The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden". I got it on-line, but I'd rather not say where. (I mentioned the web site on H20 a while back, and got a lot of negative, close-minded responses)

  I hope you find it.

  There are ancient writings discovered in Egypt called "The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan" which refer to these "Nephilim" as "The Watchers", and lists the number of them as 30.

  Very interesting reading, as it speaks of "The Word" walking among the garden. It also contains quite a few prophecies about the time line of humanity.

  Just my 2 cents worth.

  Hi Teirce,

  "Give the JWs this inch, and they'll take a mile. It might be time here to distribute the maturity of the DNC principle, so these Georgia types, bless their southern-fried soul, don't have to tax themselves to come up with a non-violent solution that plays into the JW perpetual motion machine."

  Unless I am mistaken, the Georgia referred to is not the State of Georgia in the USA. It is the one over somewhere in Russia.
