  Political Party Loyalty

  by Greenpalmtreestillmine in

  i am very new to the political process and this year will be the first time i enter a voting booth, but something has been on my mind of late and i hope you all can help me sort it out.. if george bush had been a democrat and from day one of his presidency had done everything exactly as he has done would most of the republicans be supporting the war in iraq?

  would most of the democrats still be against the war?.

  or would each party fall in line with most republicans against the war and most democrats for the war?.

  Circuit assembly : The Window for Lying

  by metatron in

  over at channelc, you can find evidence of one of the valued reasons for having circuit assemblies.. they get to lie and deceive - away from the prying eyes of the public.. apparently, a brother novak informed the crowd that phil.

  2: 9-11 - in which "every knee shall bend" to christ.

  is a command to obey the elders.

  Jehovah's Witnesses think they are being taught to worship Jehovah but in reality they are being taught to worship the Governing Body and its agents in the congregation. Truly as Jesus said: "If in reality the light that is in you is darkness, how great that darkness is!"

  Their angel of light has become a satan driving them to idolatry of men and they quietly follow believing these men, the Governing Body, speak for Jehovah even when they contradict scripture and trample on their conscience.

  The list of organized religions that do just the same is long. That's why I do not belong to any church.

  Jehovah's Witnesses / Apostate statistics.....

  ok ok....don't bite at the "apostate" label.

  but recently someone on here told me that disaffected/inactive/d/f jws now must out number jws as a whole.. i (funny enough) disagreed.

  does anyone have proof otherwise?

  Rabbit,

  A better question might be -- "If the WTS, today announced that all, Disfellowshipping and Shunning practices, were gone and no punishment would take place...how many people would stay ?

  I believe 75 - 80% would leave immediately. I think this % only stay, because they don't want to lose their friends and family.

  I agree. If JWs were free to choose whether to stay or not without fearing punishment or social ostracism many more would leave.

  So far the voting on this thread is close enough to give the Undecideds the deciding vote!

  I believe this mirrors the country. So yes, anyone who is undecided or unsure if their vote counts, this time around I believe it will!

  Hi AGuest,

  I was drawing a distinction between the Law of Moses which passed away and the Ten Commandments which in general represent eternal laws which most Christian societies recognize as binding. So too with the teachings of Christ and the teachings of Paul, one is eternal the other is good, useful and even inspired but not all binding and eternal. That is my opinion.

  Thank you so much for your response.

  My vote is for Kerry.

  HS,

  but it is incumbent on those who claim a belief in God to at least attempt to answer this question. If they cannot do so then they have failed in their faith at a primal level.

  I think the problem lies in that one man's answer is not satisfactory to another. So though a sincere attempt is made at providing an answer, that answer will not satisfy everyone.

  I am not qualified to enter into the subject as you and James Thomas are doing so I will bow out. I do admire the ability you both have to go where my mind cannot tread though. Interesting reading.
