  i am a sister that kind of "fell away" from the organization.

  i felt that i wasn't accepted by my brothers and sisters (long, long story).

  whatever i did i wasn't "perfect" enough.

  Bibles to read???

  by Troggle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can anyone please give me a little advice on a good bible to use?

  after looking around my house i realized that i only have one bible and it is the nwt.

  i have tried using the kjv but would like a good one in regular english rather than old english and i have been brainwashed into distrusting all of them.

  Ray and Cynthia rock! The information they provided and the help they keep giving is invaluable. I want to go and visit them soon also.

  Please, let us know how the medical procedure went. I'll keep them on my prayers.

  The CO asked for more contributions

  it looks like the wt is running out of money fast.

  few weeks ago we had the co visit and he told us in the ms and elders meeting that he had never seen a letter from the gb like this one, but then he went ahead and read it.

  the letter basically said: "the contributions are down and there is more people in the congregation.

  And the sad part... I saw some people giving envelopes with money to the CO the last day of the visit. Some of them I know are people with really, really no money at all.

  i have posted my thread regarding that i went back to a few meetings.

  within that the debate came up about 607 v 587.. for me i have seen many criticisms against the wt society that i agree with.

  but i have never been able to find conclusive or 100% proof that doctrines or beliefs are wrong.

  changeling,

  Yes. Of course he talked about the "no elder's kids or wife's in college". I was keeping that part for my next post. LOL.

  I decided to test the Holy Spirit to appoint me, an unbeliever, as an elder... among other things.

  SirNose586,

  It was a speach he was supposed to give. it came directly from the Society. But, I don't know if that's is something local or general.

  Outlaw,

  The pride is gone. They want money now! The CO explained how everybody saw the widow giving her two cents. So we have to do like her so everybody can see us giving money and they will follow our example. That's what leaders are for!
