Last month the spanish congregations were having their Distric Assembly and two sisters were in my neighborhood delivering an invitation to a neighbor. The neighbor was not home but I was outside washing my car, so they come over because the older sister, in her 70's, knows me and wanted to say hello. I took the opportunity to mention the fact that I haven't been to a meeting since 2006. She acted as if this was news to her. She started to say how sorry she was, that the end was so close, that I should not let differences of personalities keep me from attending the meetings and on and on. I let her finish, and then I explained that I love the friends, that I don't have a problem of any kind with any brother, that my problem is with the Society! A blank look appeared on her face almost immediately. I decided that I could not let her go without saying something that could help open her mind and heart to the real truth, that the Organization is not who she thinks it is. I asked her, were not we as Jehovah's Witnesses taught that we had to preach the good news of God's Kingdom? (she): Yes. (me): What is the good news of God's Kingdom? (she): That Jesus will destroy all of Satan's organization and then establish an earthly paradise for those who are in Jehovah's Organization.....but you already know that! (me): I know that that is what we were taught, but what if that is not true? (she is starting to get nervous) She had her Bible with her, so I decide to use it. Referring to Mat. 4:23 she reads where Jesus preached the good news of the Kingdom....then we go to Gal.1:6-9, where Paul warns of Christians beginning to preach a different sort of good news, and a curse would fall on them if they did! (note: what she says about what the W.T. says is good news can be interpreted as "good news" like the text says "a different sort of good news".) I tried to show her three texts that clearly explain what were the good news of God's Kingdom preached by Paul and others (1Cor.15:1-4; Acts 4:33; Acts 17:18) She clearly didn't want to hear any more and by this time the younger sister is telling me that the Bible also warns of false prophets. I say, we can talk about false prophets later if you want, but the good news of the Kingdom is all I'm talking about right now. They couldn't get away from me fast enough. I asked them to come back and visit if they wanted to continue our coversation, then the older sister, whom I've known for over 30 years, says: " Your mother is very sad because you don't go to the meetings any more!" That did surprise me, because when I originally told her that I had not been to a meeting since 2006, she acted as if she didn't know!... Oh well, sooner or later the real truth comes out.
P.S I don't know what I did but it all changed to bold, sorry!!!

REAL new light!!!
by uncle al insince realizing that the watchtower bible and tract society is not god's organization, everything that they say, not coming directly from the bible, has to be questioned and exposed to the light of truth.
the same should be done to all religious organizations since most do have their own set of unique beliefs which according to them sets that particular religion apart from all others, thereby making it better, more spiritual, closer to true worship, and having god's approval that other religions do not have.
sometimes even claiming that they alone can provide what mankind needs, spiritually, for salvation and that all other religions represent the "wide road" leading to eternal destruction during the judgement day or armageddon..
