  i saw paul's answer to a reader's question on his watchthetower website this week:.

  "we are not saved by knowledge but by simple faith in jesus christ.

  when i first got saved i didnt believe in a literal hell.

  AK - Jeff,
  
  This museum upsets me in one big way. The fact that a person who believes the Earth was created after the invention of beer probably also believes that an imaginary god in the sky has the right to dictate every facet of their life. This includes:
  
  1.) Who our friends are
  2.) How we treat those friends
  3.) Who we elect as President of the USA
  4.) Who we feel it's ok to blow up and go to war with
  5.) How we treat the Earth today (if it's going to be a paradise, why bother protecting it now?)
  6.) Where my tax dollars go
  
  More?
  
  btw, I'm talking about extrinsic religiosity.

  Mavie,
  
  Sorry I’m so long in replying. We’re building our kingdom hall and this month has been the busiest ever. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well in Xxxxx. And yes it’s true, we are finally having a kid! I’m still trying to wrap my head around it! Anyway, I’m starting to get excited. Thanks for the congrats.
  
  Still watching soccer? David Beckham anyone? I’ve had little time but I DVR and watch when I can.
  
  I was certainly sorry to hear about you and Xxxxx but more importantly I would like you to know that I personally miss having you around here, Mavie. I hope you consider “coming back” someday.
  
  It was nice hearing from you, Mavie, and watch those (my profession)… they’re a shifty lot!
  
  Xxxx

  It's obvious the point of this email was to inform me that I need to come back to dubland in order to have any meaningful relationships. I'm looking for a firm, but balanced response. I have a draft prepared, but wanted to hear what you guys thought.

  The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures in pdf format?

  by IndependantThinker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've spent the last 2 months listening to talks of former and current jw's, reading, using the wt cd, going through my collection of watchtowers from 1879-1947 (which i do have on .pdf if anyone is interested) and books i've managed to not lose in many moves since 1964.. is there a .pdf of the 1969 the kingdominterlineartranslationofthegreekscriptures anywhere?

  i got one as a gift in 1969 when was a little girl and after going through many boxes of publications i can't find mine.

  i need it to collaberate some things i have heard and unless i can read it for myself i can't take someone else's "saying" that the kit says something.

  1879 Herald of the Morning PDF!

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this should be of interest to history buffs.. i've scanned the january to june issues of herald of the morning for the year 1879. this is, of course, the journal c.t.

  i'll let others discuss particulars.

  the january issue contains their current understanding of time prophecies and seems to issue stronger statements about what they were expecting for 1881 than i've seen elsewhere.

  Yes, it was disturbing. Fundamentalist American's are raising a "Christian Army" to fight the evils of the world, especially fundamentalist Muslims. It's disgusting what religion can do to people.

  Ya, the Christian spin is funny. The writers don't see that they are just as deluded as the Mormon's they write about.
