well, a post on the good ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why.
in the jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for service, four doors, holding at least five.
i remember back in 1978 i bought an mgb and the brothers had a fit (hehe), i was selfish, etc.,.
Hi waiting,
"Gee Dan, I wonder why you didn't last long as an MS!"
I used to do return calls with the T-bar roof removed. I remember one time pulling into the local burger joint for the usual break, and parking next to the CO as he was getting out of his car with his group. It just so happened that that day I had my friend and two very attractive teenage sisters in car. I think that was the catalyst for the reaming I received not long after. I think he was jealous!

jehovah keeps sifting and cleanning out the organization.
this board is proof of that sifting work.
congratulations on being cleansed out of jehovah's organization because of your inmoral and prideful lives.
The spelling is on par with Fred's work, that's for sure.

"Congratulations on being cleansed out of Jehovah's organization because of your inmoral and prideful lives."
Typical JW judgemental attitude. How do you know how I live? You make me sick!

Hi yoyo,
You wrote:
"No, it is the creation of Jesus Christ."
If you are referring to basic Christianity, I'd have to disagree. Isn't it the creation of Jehovah, through Jesus? If you are referring to actual religious organizations, I'd have to disagree again.
You also wrote:
"read the Bible."
I have read it from cover to cover a couple of times. I must have missed the scriptures you are referring to. I'd appreciate it if you could list them so I could look them up.
I'll be waiting...

Hi abcde,
The concept that "there must be one true religion (organization)" is a creation of the WT society. If you look at the scriptures you will see that God dealt with individuals and families, not organizations. To say that Noah and his family was an organization is ridiculous. How about Lot? Were he and his wife an organization? Abraham? John the Baptist? In fact, everytime people wanted to organize into a group, trouble soon followed. Look at Israel and their demands for a king. And the Christians after the death of the apostles soon organized into distinct groups, and look at the mess that caused.
I personally think that the "people for his name" will be from all nations, tribes and religions. I believe that there are true Christians in the JWs, but also in the Catholic church, Protestant, etc. These people will be Christians despite these religions.

When I was an MS I bought a new Camaro IROC. I also had a Honda motorcycle. I actually got a talking to by the CO and DO!! I didn't get rid of either (I wasn't an MS much longer!!)

i was speaking with a man the other night on yahoo and he gave me a few verses to compare.. a while back i gave my copy of the nwt to a friend who came in contact with jw's quit often and wanted to used it to compare scriptures.
anyway, could someone please look up these scriptures and compare them to the nwt and post the differences?
i was told that the nwt omits parts of these verses.. matthew 18:11 luke 4:8 john 8:9 acts 8:37/23.9 romans 13:9. thanks in advance.. "i don't want someone in my life i can live with, i want someone in my life i can't live without.
".. just ask the next witness you see walking the streets."
I haven't seen a JW in my neighborhood in almost 4 years. Nice worldwide preaching work they've got going on. I suppose if I go to the local Tim Hortons (fellow Canadians will know what I'm talking about)at 11am on a Saturday morning, I'll see dozens.

yesterday, at a construction site where a new kh is to be built,a crane fell down, killed a sister and injured some others severly.
local tv reported that now police has started investigations against the crane operator.
building a kh in germany is done by voluntary workers that are not properly insured by the wts but are dependant on their own insurances.
"Hey dan b, are you in que?? Just wondering."
No, Southern Ontario.

"But there is no point in making fun of the people that died or were hurt. Aim the sarcasm toward the right target, the WTS."
I agree completely with this statement. I fail to see any humor in the death of people, whether JWs or not. This poor woman and the other injured people were victims of an unfortunate accident. It worries me to see these types of judgemental comments being posted here. For me, that was one of the things that sickened me about the JWs. Perhaps we are not as "free" of their mind control as we would like to think. I know that it took me years to free myself of this mindset.

i was watching a very interesting documentary this morning on heinrich himmler.
for those who don't follow history, he was the head of the nazi ss, and a main architect of the "final solution".
anyway, they mention the jw's as being imprisioned in the concentration camps.
Hi Mum,
It was not my intention to minimize the "screaming" issue. I apologize for not wording my question better. This is what I was trying to achieve in this thread:
During WW1 the Bible students were the objects of mob violence due to their unusual beliefs during that period of history. Yet the beliefs for which these people so bravely faced persecution were completely changed. The JW teachings of the time were completely altered as time went on. So really, these people suffered for nothing. (Sincerity alone is not enough-remember the Live Forever
book?) So I was wondering, has there been that dramatic a change from the time that these JWs suffered in Germany, until now? It doesn't seem so. Perhaps that's because the WT society has toned down their "prophecying". Althought there have been numerous changes, it doesn't seem to be the major doctorinal changes which would parallel the post WW1 changes. (The "Millions now living" and the 1925 fiascos were types of changes that, I feel anyway, are on par with the 1914 generation and sheep-goat switches)
Dan
