  oops hit my enter key and submitted my post before it was finished! I meant to ask:

  What issue of the watchtower recently made mention of: 'No woman has ever been completely faithful to Jehovah'?

  I rarely ever read them anymore and would like to take a look at that article.

  Thanks,

  I.W.

  but i was wondering if there are any good threads or resources that discuss who the faithful and discreet slave really is.

  not what the watchtower says but what the bible is really saying.

  does the bible identify this "slave"?.

  Thanks for the link Hoping4Change. It makes feel very sad that the majority of witnesses do not know about this. Some of these things I read about before I got baptised but when I brought it to someones attention they told me it was satans propaganda. So I stopped re-searching the Watchtower.

  More and more people are finding out the truth about the truth because of the internet. At least that is something I can be very happy about!!

  but I was wondering if there are any good threads or resources that discuss who the faithful and discreet slave really is. Not what the watchtower says but what the bible is really saying. Does the bible identify this "slave"?

  Also are christians supposed to preach? Is it a requirement of modern day christians or was this a commission that applied only in Jesus day?

  I am trying to research the bible more and I find it difficult to understand what is being said within context. I've always found the bible to be very confusing.

  Anyway what prompted be to ask these questions was the #4 talk on "Identifying Apostates". Basically the brother used 3 scriptures that would "help" us to recognize apostates. They were Acts 20:30, Matt. 28:19, and Matt. 24:45. It's the scriptures in Matthew that got me wondering what the bible is really trying to say.

  I was out in service one time and we were offering the Bible Teach book. Before I left the HH's home I shared a scripture with the young man. He pointed out that anyone can open the bible and read a scripture and try to explain what their religion has taught them to believe. It takes more than that to understand what is really being said. I didn't know what to say. He was right. Just because I opened the bible and shared a verse with him and explained what it meant (from a JW perspective) doesn't mean that is what it's actually trying to say! It is so easy for JW's to open the bible and select a scripture to back up what they believe. All of their material is based on carefully selecting and isolating scripture.

  I want to know/learn what the bible is saying in context. If any of you have any advise as to how I should go about doing this I would appreciate your suggestions. I have read the bible and I continue to do so in hopes that I will one day understand it from a literary/contextual standpoint.

  Thanks for listening!!

  Does JWs have a Personal Relationship with Jesus/Jehovah?

  Well I think it's hard to know for sure. However my opinion is this, they really do not have a personal relationship with Jehovah. Wether they are approved or dis-approved before God, how close they are to him or how far away from him they are, is determined by the elders and the gossips of the congregations. Not God! They are judged by humans (elders, etc.) for what they do, not who they are. If they did have this close personal relationship with Jehovah then they wouldn't be so paranoid when they decide to go on vacation and not attend the meetings, or allow themselves a day off from service. To me this whole JW thing is about looking good in front of man. Or maybe Jehovah is a dictator and does expect his people to obey a bunch of dumb rules and cower and snivel before his feet. If that's the case then maybe they are close him!

  That's my 2 pennys any way.
