Weird??

hi folks,.

this is kind of strange, everyday i find a penny, on a parking lot, floor of a store, driveway, or whatever.

yesterday i hadn't found any money, i didn't think about it until i started to get in bed.

either the ann landers or the dear abby collumn has an ongoing thing...pennies from heaven. readers write in and tell of loved ones passing away and then they start finding pennies in very odd places. I cant remeber any of the stories. I do remeber that after reading them i allways say.."wow neat" to myself. Anyone have those kind of stories?

11. since the wts claims "apostolic succession", can it trace its roots all the way back to christ (mt 16:18)?

if so, who was it that "passed the torch of god's spirit" to c. t. russell when he founded the organization?

what was the name of this individual or individuals?.

What I have noticed is that the JW's must jump through a massive tangle of hoops and use there altered bible in order to back up there doctrine. Yes the JW's can use scripture to back it up...anyone can make scripture fit there doctrine. I make my doctrine fit the scripture....and well, when I read the bible, on it's own, I sit and wonder HOW can the wts come up with this stuff??

of course the wts is the one that said if you read the bible alone you would fall into darkness.

but all this does not matter to me...what matters is that this is an organisation that allows NO FREEDOM to see things a diffrent way. There is also the issue of the "un-noticed" effects that the WT has on it's followers. My wife has started going back to KH last Sept. and there are 2 very noticeable things I have noticed. Now I once had an elder tell me to look at the "fruits". Well the fruits I have noticed so far is that my wife's doctor has had to up the dossage on her prozac (her depression is at new highs that I have never seen in the 7 years we have been married) AND she barely takes a shit without permission from the elders or the lady that she studies with. So you go ahead and argue all the doctrine you want....I have seen the fruits You Know...and they are rotton!

so here i am just reading my the book of revelation in my bible (nkv)..and i'm thinking "how can they read this and not see that jesus and god are the same?

so i get out my wife'ss bible (nwt) and boom there it is...my bible has the alpha and omega refrence in rev 1:11...hers does not.

i then take a look at rev 22:19 and there it has the punishments for adding or deleting anything from this book.

I then take a look at Rev 22:19 and there it has the punishments for adding or deleting anything from this book. So I think "well one of these bibles is in critical error". I looked up the original greek text at www.blueletterbible.com and sure enough...the Alph and Omega refrence is there.

so..anyone able to tell me what they tell the rank and file about this? I know of course that it is to fit the scripture to there doctrine rather than fitting the doctrine to the scripture. But I would like to know how they "reason" it away to the regular JW. This can't be the smokeing gun I think it is. There is no way of denying that that part of the verse was taken out of the NWT.
