does doing what is right in god's eyes mean we have to use only bible terms?
i know the organization is not perfect.
is there strong evidence that he has his people here on earth that although not perfect, are doing his will?
The happiness I see among the Witnesses is so lacking among others.
So why am I a far happier person since leaving? I just couldn't be happy slaving away for a human organization, knowing that nothing I did was ever good enough. I guess there's just something wrong with me.
here is the best that i could do, but i think it gets the main points of the articles across.
i wouldn't bet my life on this translation, but i think it is good enough for our purposes.

Therefore the "faithful and discreet slave" does not approve of any literature, websites, or meetings not under its direction. (Matt 24:45-47)
So the bible itself falls under the category of literature not approved of by the "faithful and discreet slave".
and you know it don't matter anyway.
you can rely on the old man's money.
well, she lost the old man's money.

if it came from the society, it was good and if it did not come out of the society, it was bad.
i call this perspective my tunnel vision.
Wanderer,
I understand your motive behind this post. Perhaps the problem was using Hitler as an example to prove your point. It is impossible to argue that he was anything other than evil. In such an extreme case, when a person's badness far outweighs whatever good points he may have, it is as simple as black and white. You are therefore undermining the very argument you are trying to make. Why not use as an example, a person with whom there is actually room for debate?
hello, my question is about the following website: examiningthescripturesdaily.blogspot.com.
it's very nice internet site, but my question is :.
are you members of jehovahs witnesses , if yes i think that it's not allowed for us as a jehova's witnesses to make our own website(we must only use the official website of jehova's witnesses)!!
if yes i think that it's not allowed for us as a Jehova's Witnesses to make our own website
Not allowed by whom? By Jehovah, or a bunch of men presuming to speak for him? What is the biblical basis for this restriction?

with book, bag and bible in hand are now singing the blues.
these former jehovahs witnesses, who would annoy a man and his.
I believed one thing at one point in my life, now I believe something else. If this makes me a hypocrite, so be it.
PS, I also never wore a three-piece suit. They were a little before my time.
yesterday, thursday, july 26, 2007, a conversation with a street witnessor (isn't that what you would call someone involved in street witnessing?
) got joined by a walk-up elder turned into a great opportunity to witness to several bystanders (who even joined in the conversation).. i began by declining to accept the offer from the elderly woman who held up a "what does god require of us?
i said, "but, verne, you aren't going to the bible.
Well done.
math 26 says jesus finds his apostles asleep as he was praying.
his boys were all asleep.
no one heard his words uttered in solitude.. so who the hell wrote em down?........is it just a story?
It's called holy spirit, man. I suppose you're going to question the truthfulness of what's in the Watchtower, too?!
I hope you're still talking about boogers.
it when you try to flick a big booger off of your index finger but it's too sticky to come off, and you eventually end up wiping it underneath the seat?
;-)
That's why it's better to just eat it. At least that's what I've heard.
