do you have gods spirit?.
...we, in turn, might receive the adoption as sons.
now because you are sons, god has sent forth the spirit of his son into our hearts and it cries out: abba, father!

"If I were to "partake" I would do so in a real church, where people actually try to worship God. You don't see "worship" in kingdom halls. All you see is something that resembles an Amway or Primerica meeting.
W"
LMAO, Yes, Amway or Primerica.....When I begin to wake up and realize the WTS is one gaint franchise that's when I wanted out.
sales of bethel premises and transfer of millions to brooklyn ?.
just heard a very surprising and unbelievable news which i want to share with you and ask whoever has the right connections higher up in the borg, if this kind of news can be double checked for reliability.. .
the source of the information is believed to be reliable as it seems to be intimately related to some officials of the branch.
It's a great big PONZE operation....Madoff took lessons from the WTS
well where do i start, perhaps will go into more detail later, though briefly - 40 years young, raised in the truth (kingdom baby, which meant i was never going to make it to primary/secondary school/work/get married/have kids....) former ms, regular pioneer, learnt 3 foreign languages, served in foreign language group, married (wife still goes to meetings), beautiful kids, baptised at 15 years of age, regular pioneer at 15, grew up in divided house.. .
hmmm, will go into my issues with all things organisational later, though firstly want to apologise, for being a self righteous spiritual pratt who did things by the book and sat with other elders/mss and prejudged others for not doing enough and having a wrong attitude about all matters spiritual and organisational.
i stepped down as an ms over a year ago (they were grooming me to be an elder), havent been to a meeting in 3 months, i knew it wasnt the truth for a number of years and have struggled badly the last few years.
Good to read your post Mattieu...Look forward to reading more of your story
in one massachusetts city, there's a teen curfew fromm11 to 5. actually, 9 other communities have this curfew in the state.. some are saying such a curfew is unconstitutional.. what's your view?
if a group of kids took a train into boston, for example, and went to a ballgame, should they be penalized if they are returning home between those hours?.
Yes, I just realized I posted on the wrong thread sorry about that

The states should get back to governing the citizens of their state and only except money they usually are provided by the Federal goverment as it has always been that way. For education, repair of roads and so on. States have to learn to live within their means just has we do. No more over spending and living high on the hog. There is no need for Trillions of dollars to be wasted. Obama is breaking this Nation because he made promises to his Zombies and Acornics. Some Governors are smart enough to see through this President.
this is a note i got from an old 'friend' when i contacted her on facebook.
she was one of my closest jw 'friends' who shunned me, yet would greet me if she saw me in town or at an event.
i thought she had some independent thought: i was wrong.
Ask your friend to meditate upon the question of: Is it Jehovah or is it the Watchtower she worships because the two are not the same.
if this is true, then why do people still die at all?.
I never understood why Jesus said he would be back and we are to wait for him...over 2000 years is a little to long, isn't it?
if so, how did it go over, good or bad?
.
It takes time to get the Watchtower mindset out of your control....So in the beginning you are afraid to show anti watchtower stuff
2009 keep on the watch district conventionfriday - prove yourselves ready mt 24:44. am.
chairman's address.
conventions help us to remain watchful.
It should read "Keep on the watch for Pedophiles in your congregation"
today at the meeting we were told by the co, that we got a gift three months ago!
the gift we got is the one more free evening weekly, because of the new meeting arrangement.
this gift was given to us by jehovah through faithfull an discreet slave.
All part of the brainwashing...haha
