ok, jesus refers to god as his father.
jesus also refers to himself as god saying they are one.

exactly one year ago three other families joined us at our vacation home for a week of relaxation and stimulating conversation.
of the four men, three were elders and the other a ministerial servant.
together these four had 116 years as appointed servants.
Hi Just2. When I read of your experiences earlier this year I was inspired to lurk no more and start posting. Our life experiences are similar and I could relate to your frustration. However just think. It sounds like you have true friends with you in this! That can mean so much at times like these.
When we were studying that awful "Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy"
book, I remarked to my wife, how can we be in the very last days not knowing who the king of the north is? Anyhow dont get me started on
that book.
Take it from someone who has been there, you will really enjoy your freedom from not having to teach something you know is a lie.As you go forward, remain a soldier of Christ. Your cyberfriend,Dino
of course, the boys in writing could not foresee that there was danger lurking in the shadows before watchtower presses rolled out the december 1, 2001 issue of the watchtower.
the article "develop your heart to fear jehovah", on page 14 opens with the words:.
fear has haunted mankind for centuries.
The careful wording the society has used to curry favor with the UN and still not alarm the R&F unduly will be the smoking gun that the WT cannot deny. One of the best ways of dealing with their lies is to always bring back to mind to those who tend to gloss over the org's whoredom the irrefutable evidence of their own writings.
In talking about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Gozz, note the similarity of wording used in the Lucis Trust' World Goodwill Newsletter a few years back under the subheading "Human Rights". It said "Also the creation of such doctrines as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been instrumental in alerting the nations of the world to the vital need for attention to this problem. Some countries have even modeled their constitutions after this declaration."
Thanks for the post Gozz. Dino
Hey all, I know I cant relate to being pregnant and all, but we did it so much before my first son was born he probably thought I was bald headed! With my second son I couldnt touch her for FOUR weeks before and Five weeks after. Man that was rough! Hang in there Lisa, Dino
i've been looking through some old pictures and i came up with this one.. .
could you imagine what the elders would say if someone with an army uniform went preaching door to door today?
notice the phonograph player and the book bag.
Enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing Ken.

[h3]here is the watchtower's official explanations on the un scandal![/h3.
the letter is, naturally - on the watchtower observer as well!.

Hey Hawk and Waiting. Notice the carefully worded first paragraph. In other words, this lie supersedes all other lies we have told you thus far! Dino
my daughter taught me an important lesson a couple.
years ago.

Hi Metatron and right on. Outnfree is right on as well. Having served as an elder for twenty plus years and giving my life to that org,I realized that very thing too. After all those years of nose to the grindstone service I could not count one true friend. However because of my elder training (caring/empathetic nature), and gregarious personality I noticed that several "worldly" people gravitated to me and became my staunchest friends. To this day they would drop everything and do anything for me. Upon my exit from the org I remarked on this state of affairs to my psychiatrist that I was seeing for counseling. As I was the first JW she had ever assisted, she was amazed at my dearth of true JW friends, ones who would accept me no matter what doubts I had, or no matter what I had done. She remarked that the org was an Orwellian system at best. Thanks again Metatron, Dino
