yesidid: oops! My mistake, they couldn't say that, could they...or maybe they could just throw in the old "inspired by spirit but whoops still imperfect" waffle...

What Derek said. Saved me some time!
You will find what you want in "the world" - because it is all there to find. You will find what you want in religion, too - because you have a need to find it. Whether you need the comfort of paradise or the terror of Hell to keep you in line, it's all there for the taking. Many humans seem to like that sort of thing - and some seem to be fine living in the mystery.

BA:
His conclusions in no way were "signifigantly differ from the scriptures".
So you say. So I say. But the holders of "truth" at the time succinctly said that, in their opinion, it was against scripture. The point is that scripture is always interpreted, and can therefore the Bible can only speak to one person at a time.
BTW - just how many "types" are there, then?

Good to the Last Drop
by purplesofa inthis is a talk i did in 2000, i was going through some old papers and came across this........laugh at me, lol, i don't mind.
i was a good sister!!!!!.
what i think is important about this is, i gave the talk in 2000, i was on this board in 2005, and last month i was a small voice on the phone to a radio station speaking against the wt about the disfellowshipping and shunning policies when a member gets a blood transfusion.. there is hope for those that seem hardcore in.. .

Comments and questions that came to mind while on "the" site.
by bite me inunlike another post of someone trying to trick us into looking at the watchtower.org i am not doing that, i have an honest question regarding something that was on the site.
i was actually looking up missing verses and other information.
doing a little research of my own if you'd want to call it that.

a) It's plain that the pejorative language used to describe Christmas and celebrating Christ's birth equate to damning the Holiday.
b) Of course they won't in such a public forum tell people flat out "you're following Satan if you celebrate Christmas" - no one would then click on the link to have someone "assist" them. You gotta entice people with a modicum of mystery to get them to, er, bite.

aniron: I refuse to be exterminated!
Religion is a formalized series of beliefs
Faith is a belief in a particular thing that cannot be proven be external evidence.
So, religions generally involve certain faiths (beliefs).
Sometimes the word "faith" is used in place of the word "religion" (as in "people of various faiths" usually means "people who are memebers of various religions").

Burn: On pyschotherapy, I wouldn't put it in the same class of "science" as the hard sciences. But to give it such an ad hominem attack belies a dogmatic position on your part that leads me to believe you are not willing to let go of your subjectivities. ;-) But to not get in the way of anyone's path to self awareness, let me continue to recommend Zen Buddhism as an alternate to anything with the word "therapy" in it.
At least many aspects of psychotherapy are presented as theories and go through repeatable experimentation to determine their accuracy. Not so with many religious concepts, which are entirely subjective yet presented as fact - with no recourse to thinking, let alone debate. Kinda like the broad brush that dismisses psychotherapy as "psuedo science". Pehaps another meme at work?

It's just odd that Christ would go to the trouble of handing over all his Earthly interests to a group that is now SELLING OFF HIS PROPERTY!

Ever since I was a kid, I wondered what a GB member looked like "channeling" the Holy Spirit. From what I've read as an adult, it appears it looks like a boardroom brawl.
