Scriptures that fit the GB to a tee
by isaacaustin inmatt 15:8-9. this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
but in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.. matt 23:2-6. saying, the scribes and the pharisees sit in moses' seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.

You know, I don't feel that way about any other religion, except the WTS. Though I was told to feel that way, I never did.
No religion is perfect. But after witnessing the behavior of JWs firsthand, I can say that those verses are truly apropos, when applied to the Society.

Ah, Issac, whenever I read the scriptures, there are times when I get the feeling that the Bible is talking about the WTS in particular. I'm sure that you feel the same...

Not exactly descriptive, but pertinent:
Luke 21:8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Deut 18:20
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deut 18:22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Rev 22:18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book

12 ex-JWs at church yesterday...
by passwordprotected inas reported elsewhere on the forum, there were 12 ex-jws at our baptism service yesterday.
twelve.. it was quite an experience to hear about an ex-jw who had moved to another part of the country and had written down 150 names of jws in the area of glasgow she was originally from and had started praying for all those names last summer.
two of the people on her list were at the church yesterday, with their wives and children.

This is great news, especially for the children!
Less families = less sacrificial lambs for the Society's twisted dogma!

Issac: Oh yes, all of my JW 'friends' have already abandoned me, except one very kind elder from my previous congregation. That gentleman is definitely the exception, not the rule.
