honor jehovah by displaying dignity .
this ten-year old has quickly learned that dignity is only the outward appearance.
why, though, can humans act with dignity?
Thanks Blondie.

As for a parent/God I was using a metaphor because I was trying to make a point that you described.Also to point out how wrong some people are in their beliefs.Hope that answers your Q.

i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.
there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.
It is the JW that I don't believe.You see they don't know what the Bible says.They are wishy washy and changed their minds just like the wind.One day the wind is blowing from the East and the next day it is from the West.As has been brought out on the Web, they shut down a site because it told the truth about the WBTS using their own publications. As one example,God's principles don't change yet they changed the principle on Blood.
You will hear comments at JW meeting,that many so called worldly people have high moral standards but...than attempt to qualify their answers as to why these people are bad.
As for myself and the Bible ,not enough time or room on this forum.

there are a lot of dumb organization men.
gb losch seems to be the top dog for dumbness.. in the local halls i've seen and heard many dumb elders open their mouths.. one elder had a fondness for bible prophecy and watchtower chronology.
he always speculated on what the "watchtower really means" about a statement in print.
i am no longer sure where i stand on the whole supreme being(s) thing anymore.
but i feel like i need to find out where i stand before i move in any particular direction.
how could it exist if there was no universe?
The way I look at the whole 9 yards/ball of wax.Just live and enjoy life.The more you read the Bible the more pissed off you get.The more you try and figure things out,the more confused you get.As you pointed out in your long narrative.Like I said live and enjoy life.Life is to short to worry about mundane things..that you mentioned.

a prominent bethel elder shared this information with another elder: there are some bethel workers who have been invited to leave bethel, but are refusing to do so and are taking the society to court while still residing in brooklyn.
if this is true, this could be the reason behind the sale of brooklyn property.
.
Don't they have to sign "vow of poverty" so the WBTS get charity status.Also aren't there some sort of documents ie qualifications,such as Doctor,Lawyer.Oh wait Lawyer would be qualified to sue.
