several posters have asked what i thought of the.
revelations about the wt being associated with the un.
as an ngo so i thought i might make a brief comment on.
Greetings YK:
After all things considered, it is my current viewpoint that you have very eloquently put this NGO situation in perspective for those of us who do look toward God and Christ to come and “correct many things.”
Thanks for your input..........
i'd like to find out how many years collectively we have acquired in the wts.

please also list how many years you have been out.
In for for 32 years
Baptized in 1972 (three years before Armageddon came)

my login session .

:let there be light!.
Im rolling on the floor. Well done...........
the purpose of this post is to try take a close but un-biased look at whether or not jehovahs witnesses are the right religion.
in my few months of doing research about jw's outside of their own publications i've came across a wide variety of viewpoints.
some people are skeptical or unsure if the wts is really the right religion, some are certain that jw's are wrong but have no ill-feelings toward them, some individuals downright hate the organization and still others are certain that the wts is the real deal.
Your pro/cons are very balanced, I agree!
hey folks,.
i just read a letter from a friend in brazil where he express his happiness about the translation to portuguese of his book "in search for christian freedom" that is coming.
i would like to share some thoughts of ray franz about the terrorist attacks in 11/09:.
Dear father of the lie:
With respect,
I disagree that Ray “begged” to stay in. In fact, as the book shows, he could have taken the path of stating that he would not “eat a meal” with is xJW employer. He stood on principle. He chose not to followup on his appeal letter, after considering all the options.
Also, Brother Franz sets out in his books a good number of JW beliefs that are not Bible based, or could be interpreted a number of ways. Though many of the JW’s beliefs are questionable, there are a good number that has merit as well. His comment about no nations having God’s backing is well in line with Daniel 2:44 ( I question truly if Ray wrote this letter. It is my current viewpoint that it does not seem to be his writing style).
Brother Franz showed a lot of courage to do what he did, he helped a lot of us to see the whole picture. We paid for this party “with our dearest blood.........”
Erasmus (1520 AD): "If we want truth, every person ought to be free to speak what they think without fear."
i have been watching the news on cnn and happened to notice the news flashing across the bottom mentioning the state of ohio banning door to door work and jehovah's witnesses!
has anyone seen this?
Well, I believe the Jws will prevail on this one. A US supreme court case already decided this back in the 30's. Also, the precedent of religious persons not required to obtain a permit to promote their religion in public is well founded in our history.

is it your last straw?.
its my last straw.
reading that letter from the u.n. has sealed it for me.
My last straw was about five straws ago......

i want to thank so many of you for giving me the ammunition i needed to initiate actions that i hope will save at least one of my two children from the cult of the wtbts.
i have been able to undertake some positive actions in no small measure because of all you people here.
some of you may recall from earlier posts that two of my boys friends were dis-fellowed and that i went ballistic when my kids told me they were not allowed to talk to their best friends because the society says we cant.
Have you read Ray Franz chapter regarding the misuse of disfellowshipping? Very simple, yet very powerful!!!

as of 6:02 pm last night i received a facsimile from paul hoeffel at the un on the wts.. he gave me 3 of the 4 things i requested in two paragraphs.. i have sent a scanned version to steve bates and someone else.. i sent it to kent and randy.
and kent and randy have posted the official united nations letter on their web sites.. here is the letter - put your cursor on the image and then right click on your mouse and hit "save image" to your computer.. .
after you look at kent's web site and you people still think this it is a fake letter, phone paul hoeffel yourself at (212) 963-8070.. hawk
Man, there is nothing like the plain truth of a matter! Good job all........

All wars are for economic reasons. That is always the root of any conflict. Now, don’t get huffy, relax and think about it...........
