To be more explicite :
the path to me is that simple (= not that much – Charity, forgiveness Able to shut down your Ego when needed) you don't really need more than that (it's not a wide range of laws - but it leads to a wide range of solutions)

12When we quote from the bible to prove a point do we have any right?
by Qcmbr inone thing you'll see me and many others do is the good old bible bash with scriptures flying around.
i cannot move away from the idea however, that when we cannot agree on the interpretation of scripture how can we possibly claim our understanding is superior to anothers?
yet upon such topics hangs the supposed destination of one's soul.

Since faith is a personal matter whatever is said can just inspire us or not (but again since you get too much into details it’s getting confusing because we put too much of our understanding into it) and here is a demonstration from the verse you chosed :
they could have different meanings
(New Testament | Matthew 7:13 - 14)
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that lead eth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.The JW – and most religious once (seen as a very precise path to get salvation – which is not totally false to me) but because this message is also talking about false prophetsyou can also see it as : what is really important (= not that much – Charity, forgiveness Able to shut down your Ego when needed - but most might not understand it). False prophets don’t really lead to that and a lot do take there Path.
Two actually differente meanings ... one will lead to follow false prophets (for salvation = bad) ... the other one will lead to understand what is important ...

Are you familiar with the music of Adiemus?
No ...
Their songs are sung in a very aurally appealing "language" that doesn't exist - it was created specifically for the way it sounded, and means nothing.
I like it Thank you for the discovery Nathan Natas

Well that was a hard phone call to make
by SixofNine init makes me wonder how i would have handled it if i was a witness?
would i have called?
she's a woman of particular faith; and it's too late for a conversion, and she gets a ticket to the new system anyway, so what a convenient excuse to do nothing.

Greek "THIS faith"?? Luke 18:8 More slimey WTBCS doublespeak?
by hamsterbait inthe wt study for feb 4, says that in luke 18, jesus asks "when the son of man arrives will he find this faith in the earth"?.
a footnote in the nwt says "or "this faith" ", but does not quote any authority to back up this claim.. looking at the greek text, i see only a definite article.
i checked other translations, and none of mine said "the faith" - i assume because the definite article in this instance is like that in other languages such as german and french, where it would mean faith in general.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
by Amazing inthis is a touchy topic for some because of strong beliefs about god's nature.
many believe that the nt bible is a law book, designed to give us exacting instructions and formula on what to do and not to do.
on prayer to the holy ghost (holy spirit), the new advent says:.

When you read the Model of the prayer that Jesus gave usyou can actually find out that it is exactly what most are especting (from God, for / from others and for / from ourselves)
Whatever you feel, expect is a prayer (our spirit talks to God - that's the most sincere prayer whatever your spirit is asking good or bad - in knowing or not "it" being good or bad).Now of course you can get into a religious way to do it (but God/Christ already knows what's our spirit wants exactly)
To be more specific :
Without really thinking about it Believer and unbeliever are praying since their feelings are involved -

I feel bad about being a part of this...
by sibboleth inseveral years ago, approx 1995, i was a newbie elder - age 29 and was just doing the "yes man" duties around the hall.
there was the overbearing po who was the "king" of the congo and whatever he said was gospel... if he didn't like you - you were history... needless to say - i kissed his butt and moved up the ladder quite easily.
we had another newbie elder - in his late 40's - and he was a smart man.

it's ok,
Don't be ashamed (just don't forget Now you might STAND UP when you feel it) even when you are pressured.
We all have to go through lots of misteaks before to get the point on specific matters about ourselves (you regret = good). Doing errors at some points actually make us able to forgive others and protect us from being self-rightous (nobody is perfect - it's not a scoop).I'm happy you found your way out ...
Welcome again !!!King PO said from the platform that nobody should go to the funeral, and not to send food to the post funeral dinner. Unbelievable!!!
Wow that's just so .... SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
