Ok,so this might be a really dumb question... What's the FADS class???

Now, if you can explain that according to scriptures, I'll run naked dwon Main street here in Athens.

hmmm, on second thought, I might just have to prove that now! lol

Law suits by the Society against websites

on this site and others i have been reading about the watchtower society suing bloggers and website owners because they quoted the watchtowers publications.

a couple of observations.

if you quote a publication that was publically distributed by the millions of copies, how could you be liable?

cognac

happy, yup they'd go out of business. so much easier to shun jws...

My Essay....Is the Watchtower Org. A Prophet?

by middleman in

before i get into what im going to talk about today, id like to share a few quotes that im in agreement with.

error always seeks the dark, while truth is always enhanced by the light.

this found on pg.

"True, there have been those in times past who predicted an `end to the world,' even announcing a specific date... The `end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying.... Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that he was guiding and using them." This is from Awake!, Oct. 8, 1968, p. 23.

Wow, that was very, very interesting. I found it astounding that the society didn't state "True, there have been those in times past who misinterpreted the bible so as to come to the conclusion that there would be an `end to the world,' even announcing a specific date... The `end' did not come. They were guilty of misinterpreting the bible.... Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that he was guiding and using them." This is from Awake!, Oct. 8, 1968, p. 23.

Just saying, it would have covered there own arses a bit better...

P.S. Wish i could have looked that up on my cd rom, the awakes only go back to 1970... maybe the new cd will go further back...

i told him that i have no intention of leaving.... he told me that i was like "a dog returning to its vomit"... .

cognac

Wow, jk, that's exactly how I feel...

the hardest part is, is that he doesn't know the bible, so he is using JW teaching over me. it's like, our relationship means nothing, that this org, means more to him then me and he doesn't even know if its from the bible or not...

shows you where I stand. wow, this sucks.

okay, so i'm talking to my friend on the phone, and i mention to her that i'm going to be asking my pyshiatrist for dexedrine next time i see him.

(i think i mentioned this intention other times, anyway, dexedrine is a brand name for the isolated d-isomer of amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and it is marketed to treat adhd.

it was actually the first such stimulant to be marketed for this purpose, before ritalin and all the others.

mincan -

Is that the same as adderall? what is the difference between that and adderall?

i'm just so mad right now... I mean really, I said to him, every reason I don't believe its truth is because of scripture... You just say sh$t based on people, makes you no different from every other religion. Nothing you tell me is from this bible. I have to answer to Jehovah with the knowledge that I have. If it is wrong based on scripture, then please, correct me. Based on what i have read through the bible, it isn't, and i have to answer for what it is that I know... if i didn't know any better, then that's one thing, but i do, and i can't follow what somebody says when i feel it is so wrong based on my knowledge of the scriptures...

How can I be expected to go against Jehovah??? How can anyone expect that of me??? because of what, i said, pressure??? how the h#ll do I account for that given the way that I have gotten to know Jehovah and developed my relationship with him? How could I ever justify that??? what are you asking me to do??? It is against my relationship with Jehovah, with Jesus, with people, with what is right verses what is wrong... I can't, not knowing what I know... If I didn't know what i know, then I could be forgiven for it, but I do....

oh, good lord, this didn't go well at all...

he made me so mad, cause everything he said wasn't scriptual...

so, I said a bit later that it hurt that he said that... So, he said, in his nicest way, "then, don't return to vomit"...

wow, so I said, "So, are you asking me not to ever go back to the kingdom hall"

hmmm, that went over well....

anywho, I brought up 2 Pe. 2:1 talking about false teachers, and he already knows about the jw teachings (via me) about organs teachings, rape teaching, and i also brought up the blood issue... anyways, he went to read the surrounding teachings in 2 Pe., got mad that I said, "interesting" or something, then got mad, slammed the bible on the table and left...

Haven't seen him since...
