Millions Now Living Will Never Die
by LexWatson inmillions now living will never die!
hmmm...can the historians out there please tell me what year this was first publicised?
it seems like it's old enough that the man who wrote it is surely dead!

Would the WT club have mandated the prodigal son be shunned?
by LexWatson inthe prodigal son's father met him out on the road as he approached, put a fine robe around his shoulders and had rings made for him.
they had a big party as he announced "my son has come home!!
" everone knew he had blown his inheritance on liquor and prostitutes.. wouldn't the wt "arrangement" have mandated a comittee meeting to have been held to determine if they felt he was truly repentant and most probably he would have to had a period of time that he was shunned so they could tell the congregation "that situation had been dealt with".

No prayer for disfellowshipped ones
by LexWatson ini'd enjoy reading your comments about prayer.. the wt club says it is inappropriate to pray for those who are disfellowshipped...and we should obey them lest we be shunned and not be part of the organization jehovah is using.. however the bible tells me we should even pray for our enemies!
jesus set the example by even praying for those who were torturing him and murdering him.
"father forgive them!

Mentioning Jehovah Less
by roflcopter ini havent picked up a watchtower in a long time, but i cracked open the latest one "does it matter which religion you choose" march 1, 07.. i read the first few articles and it seems that the only time they even mentioned the name was jehovah was when they said "jehovah's witnesses" all other references were god... has the wtbts been trying to use the name jehovah less?
seems that way to me..

It appears that the WTS seems hasn't Read Gal 6:1-3
by A-Team ingalatians 6:1-3 (amplified bible)....1brethren, if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.......2bear (endure, carry) one another's burdens and [a]troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of christ (the messiah) and complete [b]what is lacking [in your obedience to it]..........3for if any person thinks himself to be somebody [too important to condescend to shoulder another's load] when he is nobody [of superiority except in his own estimation], he deceives and deludes and cheats himself.
to me, this scripture basically tells me that disfellowshiping isn't the answer at all.
