Very good, but entrenched JW's will just counterract "Yes yes but these are all just timing issues. They Watchtower have been a bit speculative on the timing of things, but otherwise all our main doctrines are sweet, spot on, they leave Christendom's for dead. So what if we got a few dates wrong, if our timing is a bit off. Its the main doctrines that make us the true religion."
That's an AMAZING digital poster Quentin! Wow, I love it. Where did you get that?
i've been a fan of ozzy for about 10 years.
just bought his new album.
anyone else got it and listened to it yet?
Crumpet - yeah its his amazing voice that makes him so good...unlike anything else.And the fact that he always believes in a lot of melody in his songs - most heavy bands really fail on that score.
Awake&Watching - yes that is a beautiful song of his. Thanks for posting the vid. He has a similarly beautiful ballad at the end of Ozzmosis called "Old L.A. Tonite". It's a great album...buy it.
some variations on 2 corinthians 4:2. rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of god.on the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of god.
instead, we have refused to use secret and shameful ways.
we don't use tricks, and we don't distort god's word.
It's not "a lie" anymore than it is "the truth". Same black & white thinking. It is just another false religion organisation that has some truths & some falsehoods, like they all are. C T Russell was right: "Religion is a snare and a racket". Including the JW's.
in considering the april personal wt study material, it appears to me as though the org has become quite concerned with our activities.
so much so as to use a subject of useless things to actually get to the heart of the matter.
we all know how it works.
the watchtower says that all early christians were preachers.
you couldn't be a christian if you weren't a preacher/teacher.
how would you refute that?

My fav Oz albums are easily "No Rest for the Wicked" and "Ozmosis".
why did we used to do this?
whenever we sang/prayed we used to sway like crazy lol.
It was always done by highly sentimental, do-gooder, nun-like, single, frigid pioneer sisters of usually middle-aged or older and "on the shelf" variety.
while visiting some bible students sites, i wondered what the official jw view on these organizations is.
are they part of babylon the great simply because of refuting the post-1916 developments and the governing body?
as far as i know, they do not adhere to any of the false teachings jw like to refer to in debunking the rcc and traditional protestantism, such as hellfire, trinity, immortal soul.
The pompous Watchtower corporation still brands the Bible Students who went their separate way as the "evil slave class". More specifically, it was J R Rutherford who dreamed up that one. Yes, EVIL EVIL EVIL for not following Joseph Rutherford.
How absolutely arrogant & ridiculous can you get.
appearing as their feature article today on their official website is this from an awake!
article of last year: .
true christians shining in the darknessbefore the weeds of false christianity are collected and destroyed, however, jesus illustration indicates something else that must happen.
It wouldn't be too bad except for one little mistake they make. The 'harvest' and the 'conclusion of a system of things' DID NOT start in 1914. They are future events. Schmucks.
in detroit yesterday, the story broke that the mayor, kwame kilratick, the hip-hop king himself, was under investigation for his alleged purgery in a wrongful discharge lawsuit.
it seems that he fired 2 police officers because of their diligence in investigating his after ours activities at the mayoral mansion.
in his sworn testimony last year, he swore under oath that he did not have any sort of romantic or intimate affair with his chief of staff.
