Just read Quandrys post about the 2007 Annual meeting notes. This comment made during that meeting just got under my skin, so I decided to start a thread to show the dictionarys definition of both of the words. Dictionary makes it clear they are one and the same! See my post to Quandrys thread:

Dear Quandry,

Thank you for posting this! I found this statement to make not one bit of sence! "We of the Governing body have not always had the right understanding. The Gov. Body is not inspired and neither are the publications. It is the Holy Spirit that helps us to find the correct understanding".See what the dictionary has to say regarding "inspired" v.s. "spirit directed". They are just trying to cover all bases even if they make no sence it won't matter because their followers have given up their brains at the door years ago!

Bouncing 1914/1915 from book to book!

by Atlantis in

bouncing 1914/1915 from book to book!

posting this for a friend who is busy studying for a test!

*************************************************************** just found this...the 1915 edition of "time is at hand" at google books.

Lady Liberty

Dear Atlantis and others who shared,

Thank you for sharing!!

Typical Flip Flopping for the organization again, that your average JW will never realise!! It makes me so angry, that they blame it all on God saying its new light...then its old light, then its new light again. Because they are saying they are spirit directed..in reality they are saying God cannot get it right!! How insulting is THAT!! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbara Anderson's Paedophilia CD: The Watchtowers Chocolate Cake Defence

by Duncan in

i received my copy of barbara andersons cd paedophilia in an american religion a month or two ago, and i have been reading through it since.. what follows, although i have called this a review, is in no sense a scholarly consideration of the legal merits of the cases described, a task for which i am wholly unqualified.

these are, rather, my subjective reflections on the material presented, the impressions i gathered while reading the legal filings, my untrained, common-man appraisal of the cases laid out in those documents.

ill also admit to being swayed by tone of voice adopted, and to using my own common-sense yardstick in determining the reasonableness of the statements made, the responses given and the arguments put forward.

Lady Liberty

DearDuncan...

Thank you for sharing! That was excellent!

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD IT ALL!!! THIS IS SICK!!!

by Lady Liberty in

my mother called me last night and shared with me something my dad just discovered in doing some research on the internet.

it is out of the book published by the wathchtower in 1966, entitled, "life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god".. my parents have the book, and listen to what was written about adam and bestiality.... page 45, para.

before god created anything new, a woman, god left the man free to determine whether there was a suitable companion for him among all the lower animals.
