  did you ever notice that when someone was disciplined in the congregation (df'd or reproved) and maybe you got wind of what is was for, it then seemed like a lot or articles in the wt magazine or public talks appeared on that person's "si?

  " like they were being disciplined by jehovah?

  did you ever think that or did you think it was just coincidence?

  Here's a belief.........and a question

  by Flowerpetal in

  2. beliefs

  ok......lately at the baptismal talks there is mention of those getting baptized, that from that day on, they have become ordained ministers.

  jehovah gives them that ordination.

  so, in order for us to be ordained ministers from god, aren't we supposed to receive the holy spirit so that when we go out preaching and teaching to others, the spirit will help us and guide us to those interested individuals?.

  question: can anyone figure out what year it was that elijah went on his chariot ride?

  and also the year he wrote a letter to king jehoram of judah telling him what would happen to him.

  i have figured out some dates, but not sure if they are correct.

  from a book i'm reading by steve allen (on the bible, religion & morality):.

  in times of war or other national danger, the freedom of the total population is guaranteed by immediate restrictions upon the freedom of those who are drafted for military service.

  even in the freest of nations, men in uniform live under the strictest sort of totalitarian --not democratic -- rule, earn small incomes, and in almost all particulars live under precisely that sort of system that free men are supposed to abhor deeply.

  i was just wondering about most of you guys.

  since you aren't jws anymore, what are your beliefs now?

  i just registered just today.

  i am not a dissenter from jws--still an active member but i have an open mind and willing to listen to all who post here.

  there have been some questions bugging me lately that have caused me to wonder about certain scriptures pertaining to being "born again.
