Help! they're giving me a talk #4 entittled:" IDENTIFYING APOSTATES"
by dark angle inthis is quite awkward for me to give!
our elder gave me that assignment last week and should be delivered next week on the theocratic ministry school.
considering i have very unconventional views for the wts about blood, evolution, bible, and the gb, delivering this talk seemd quite maladroit.

avidbiblereader & narkissos, thanks for the outline you gave. it will be one of my source material. heres the material im supposed to use, rs p.34 1-p36 1: Some identifying marks of apostates— They seek to make others their followers, thus causing sectarian divisions Acts 20:30: “From among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.” 2 Pet. 2:1, 3: “There will also be false teachers among you. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them . . . Also, with covetousness they will exploit you with counterfeit words.” They may profess to believe in Christ but treat lightly the preaching and teaching work he assigned to his followers Luke 6:46: “Why, then, do you call me ‘Lord! Lord!’ but do not do the things I say?” Matt. 28:19, 20: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them . . . teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.” Matt. 24:14: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” They may claim to serve God but reject his representatives, his visible organization Jude 8, 11: “These men, too, indulging in dreams, are defiling the flesh and disregarding lordship and speaking abusively of glorious ones. Too bad for them, because they . . . have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah!” Num. 16:1-3, 11, 19-21: “Korah . . . proceeded to get up, together with . . . two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, chieftains of the assembly . . . So they congregated themselves against Moses and Aaron and said to them: ‘That is enough of you, because the whole assembly are all of them holy and Jehovah is in their midst. Why, then, should you lift yourselves up above the congregation of Jehovah?’ . . . [Moses said:] ‘You and all your assembly who are gathering together are against Jehovah. As for Aaron, what is he that you men should murmur against him?’ When Korah got all the assembly together against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting, then Jehovah’s glory appeared to all the assembly. Jehovah now spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: ‘Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, that I may exterminate them in an instant.’” Not only do they abandon the true faith but they then “beat” their former associates, using public criticism and other methods to hinder their work; the efforts of such apostates are devoted to tearing down, not building up Matt. 24:45-51: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? . . . But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.” 2 Tim. 2:16-18: “Shun empty speeches that violate what is holy; for they will advance to more and more ungodliness, and their word will spread like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of that number. These very men have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they are subverting the faith of some.”

carla & juni, they seemed to have some inkling about my apostate leaning. thats the reason im quite troubled. plus my whole family is present including my very active mom & dad that came from Australia & on vacation here. for now, i don't feel like to upset them and spoil a good family reunion.

Need Some Education On EVOLUTION? Start Here! Perry & Axal take note!
by Seeker4 inperry started a thread on evolution/atheism, which from his very first post showed an incredible ignorance of evolution and natural selection.
axal's comments on the thread were just asinine - how all the atheists in his area were at the strip clubs fighting over women and fornicating!
i have to say that i live in a small town and have been here for half a century, and i couldn't name five people that i know here who are atheist.

true indeed SEEKER4, ABADON! (& some here). thanks for taking pains in explaining to others here that evolutionary theory is equally attractive but far more compelling in explaining the existence of diversity of life than the literal creation idea. God might be a master evolutionist!

SEEKER4, THANKS FOR POSTING THAT WEBSITE. VERY HELPFUL FOR ME, ESPECIALLY IM QUITE EAGER TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR NATURAL HISTORY. IVE READ THE EVOLUTION VS CREATION BOOK OF THE WT ABOUT 7 TIMES ALREADY SINCE I WAS A KID. BUT IT SEEMS I WANT TO KNOW & INCLINED TO BELIEVE MORE ABOUT WHAT THE MAJORITY OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. THANKS
