Welcome to the Board s-c-3-1-3...if you follow your line of reasoning, yes Jesus created all things except Jehovah...but why would you just assume that adding words is part of the original scripture? That is a bit intellectually dishonest to make that leap...just sayin'.

Difficulties understanding passage.
by s-c-3-1-3 ini am reading colossians 1:15-18, and understand it to mean that jehovah created jesus who then created all other things in the world, thus jesus crall things except for god who created him.
is this correct?
thanks in advance!.

Brother tells Elders "fermented Coke" made him get a drink driving charge???? LOL!!
by Witness 007 inyes a brother was interrigated by the s.s elders in a local ethnic cong.
for getting arrested while driving under the influence of alcohol....to save his privleges he says that he had no alcohol at all, but did drink from an old bottle of coke which must have "fermented" into alcohol in his stomach...... maybe one of the best bullcrap stories i ever heard.....we need more honest elders like him in jehovahs "clean organisation..

Need some sage JWN advice
by Simon Morley init has been two years since my family stopped attending and being "active".
my daughter is in her 30's settled and teaching with a masters degree she got post her separation and divorce four years ago from a witness, she is remaried and happy.
we just celebrated our first xmas since joining jw in the early 80's.. my wife now has increasing bouts of extreme anger (that border on violence) directed primarily at me for wasting twenty years of her life and causing my daughter to have periodic problems with flashbacks and anxiety.

Leaving the JW's involves certain stages of emotion similar to grieving. I agree with Rebel that your wife's reaction seems a bit extreme in relation to blaming you for a decision I would assume she had a part in. Seeking counseling might be a good decision...I would try to get her to go with you so she won't be overly defensive at the suggestion to seek counseling. You might also want to look at the Free Minds website...I believe there is information on there regarding exits from the JW's.

Don't let your accountant fire YOU when you catch them in malfeasance

you anxiously call your accountant: "what's going on?
bank to cover these things!".

You know the old saying Terry...
"Figures never lie, liars figure!"
I guess that could apply to other types of "accountants" too...

Hi 3rdgen...I am glad the surgery went well. Don't be surprised about being down...I was in the hospital this year for over a week, and when I came home I was "not myself" either. It is very typical, and often can be a combination of the drugs you are taking and the trauma to your body. As a surgeon once told me, "surgery is just an assualt with a deadly weapon under a controlled environment"! Once you turn the recovery corner, you will be amazed how much better you will feel, both physically and mentally.
As to your new life, it too will improve...to use a tired old WT cliche, "keep your eyes on the prize".

"it will be such a privelege to sit down with Moses, David and Noah to hear first hand their accounts of faithfulness"
"even if the system continues beyond our death, have we not benefited from living the "pure religion"?"
"I have already picked out the house I will be living in after Armageddon!"
