IF there is a God and he created all we know;
WHO created God?
many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.
perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.
any taker?
assuming they converted to being a jw that is.
because simply converting reigions or changing one's beliefs makes one an apostate by defintion.. just though i would bring that up..
"Anyone who stands up against lies, anyone who takes a stand against lies, anyone who turns away from lies, anyone who refuses to keep hearing lies, anyone who seeks truth, is defined by the cult as an "apostate"."
Then: I AM an "apostate" AND proud of it. I was disfellowshipped on Elders lies.
we had a letter read at the end of the wt study today announcing twickenham for our convention, 22-24 august 2014. no amex next year then.. there was also a letter read saying not to book hotels except from the wts list as this would help make it cheaper for the majority as the wts will have greater bargaining power!.
they are also hoping to book buses and trains.. what a scam.. george.

it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.
cedars.
i believe most witnesses believe that there is nothing new in their religion....would you agree with them?.

something to look forward to i'm sure.. no doubt the symposium "beware of strange teachings" will be more apostate/evolution/education bashing.. george.

alright.
so i got a sendspace and uploaded the whole thing except for the songs and morning music.. the link to all the mp3's is here!
for some reason it starts with the last talk first but they're all numbered and titled according to the convention so it should'nt be too hard i hope.. do with them what you please, upload them to youtube, send them to friends & family, or just see how far you can stomach some of the "fine spiritual food that the faithful and discreet slave has prepared for us this year".. some key talks you might wanna listen to are 12 symposium: the truth sets us free, 16 believe inspired truth, not inspired error, 20 symposium: reject what is false!
we forgot to pick-up our lapel cards for the convention coming this week-end.
does anyone have a scan of the lapel card so we can print a couple for us to use?
thanks,.
