Plmcrzy,
Sorry for the delay in getting back. It seems to have righted itself now - perhaps it was my server! The scroll bars were way off the screen so that I could not pick up the text.
BTW thanks for the thread it is something that interests me.

HELP!
I can't get sufficient of this post onto my screen at any one time in order to read it.
It looks interesting.
What am I doing wrong?

i'm thinking that the mind-control games are very very very very much the same between mormonism and jwism.
i've lurked here for a while and thought i'd introduce myself.
my name is alex and i'm an unbelieving mormon who lives in utah.
Hi Susan,
Thanks for responding. I'm sorry that so many have asked you these same questions. I think that this just shows how unusual your actions are. I don't think that it shows paranoia on anybodys part.
You said:
Yes, you have a hard row to hoe since you've made up your own mind about the Church, want to leave, but have all those good LDS relatives you don't want to alienate yourself from, including your wife. Tough decisions are ahead of you. While we don't shun as the JWs do, there is no doubt how hurt your family will be if you pursue your present course.
I just wonder how many ex JWs have heard words to this effect and how many others here see this as an attempt to set up a guilt trip for someone in a very vulnerable position.
If you think that alienating your wife and upsetting your family don't qualify, I'd hate to really upset you!

Susan,
Perhaps I am not the only one wondering what a fully fledged Mormon is doing with 111 posts on a discussion board used mainly by apostate Jehovahs Witnesses. Are you hoping to get leads for converts or are you just lurking on behalf of others?
I thought that JWs were bad enough but you have dished out enough emotional blackmail to Alex to give him a lifetimes guilt complex.
In that respect at least, you Mormons are not a lot different to the JWs are you?.

i read somewhere that judge rutherfords funeral was delayed by court cases.
apparently he wanted to be buried at "beth sarim" at sunrise or something.. if this is not just some mythical story, can anybody provide links to further information on this topic?
i have tried "search" but cant find anything and am quite curious about it.. thanks.
Thanks once again Blondie.
This last one you mention is the one that I was looking for.

Many thank for the links Blondie.
Plenty of good info there about Beth-Sarim but nothing about "The Judge" wanting to be buried at sunrise or why this was important. Perhaps this part was just a mythical story?

below are watchtower quotes about new light!.
i would love to hear everyone's comments (including current jehovah's witnesses).. you can distribute these quotes freely!.
i got these quotes from http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com which is the best watchtower quotes website on the internet!.
Happy Man,
All of your posts seem to carry the same error: The religious organisation that you belong to claim to be the only true religion and unless you follow their doctrines and beliefs then you are not a Christian. Those responding to you do not belong to such organisations and therefore do not make these claims on behalf of their own beliefs.
They freely admit that it is their understanding based on their knowledge of the Bible. You claim that your view is the only possible one, although much of it is only loosely based on the Bible. Cant you see how wrong you are? (Obviously not!)

p.s. I hope this subject is suitable for JW News and Events
the road to god's "truth", divine truth, is the same.
it takes real, real "effort" before truth, divine truth can be achieved.
and therefore, they could not give it to us, this divine truth.
I am full of admiration for people who are confident enough to put their views and opinions on the Bible up for scrutiny. I wish I could do the same and I always read these threads with interest.
However whenever I hear former Jehovahs Witness' claiming to have found "the truth" about Bible prophesy - then I hear bells and see flashing lights.
Does any one else get that "deja vu" feeling or is it just me?
