gumby here, thought i'd say hi to everyone.

my nutbag is still intact but it's a tough road to please others in order to keep a family.

really tough.. i'm glad this place is still here as it's a haven for you ex-es and a means to help others to see that when man (governing body) is a mediator between christ and oneself, it becomes a cult.. .

i found an interesting site on you tube i thought some of the newer ones here might enjoy.

i myself had forgotten about a very serious matter that the wtbts had allowed for about 10 years that tore apart families regarding sexual practices amoung married couples, then changed their policy with no apologies to all those whose lives were tore apart.. here is the link.

2. beliefs
at the last district assembly, each time they gave the announcments they said, "if anyone would like to sign up for bethel service, go to the attenance desk".. they have just released over 1100 workers and they are asking for more volunteers?

anyone else had that question?

are there any here who were dismissed from bethel just recently and know the answer?

Online Buisness - Does Anyone Have One?
by gumby in

i went to a free internet opportunity meeting yesterday and of course they were there to sell you something, but you got a free daily planner book and a free lunch.

i went since i've always believed money can be made by using the internet if you approach it properly.

i didn't buy anything since i know there are cheaper ways to start an online buisness.. anyway, just wondering if any of you have tried it or are currently doing it.

Who REALLY is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?
by gumby in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this thread was inspired by another thread about "two classes of the annointed".

1 page 805. as we all know when the term faithful and discreet slave is used by the witnesses it is usually always about the governing body.

in most prayers we hear at the meeting we hear the brother asking jehovah to direct the fds.. notice who the insight book says the faithful and discreet slave is,.

Demon Experiences
by gumby in

2. beliefs
i believe that in the past i've started threads about ghosts and such but i haven't started one about me asking others if they have had a personal experience with a demon.. a couple of days ago i was talking to my dub son-in-law about how i wish i could believe in the unseen....such as ghosts, the paranormal, or anything out of the ordinary.. he said to me......"well what about demon stories"?

he related some stories that were given at an assembly from some who were greatly bothered by demons, mostly from africa.. so, what are we to make of those with such stories?

are they lying?

that's right my dear brothers and sisters in the lord......the society endorsed a book written by a fallen angel!.

this is an oldie, but it was written 5 years after the society was approved by jehovah himself in 1919 as his loyal servants.. for your reading pleasure: .

the golden age 1924 dec 3 pp.150-151 angels and women.
