in 1878 j. g. smith published a novel titled seola.
in 1924 it was revised by a bible student (jw) and published under the title angels and women.
it was recommended by the watchtower society in two golden age magazines.. according to the watchtower's view of how the book was written, angels and women is an automatic writing book.
Thanks for that revealing piece of evidence, Atlantis!
It seems the WT is going waaaay beyond what is written. Don't you all think so?
If this were brought out to JWs today, could it make a difference in how they view the org?
Shouldn't some of this be brought out to the light and dusted off again?
so i have been having problems with the renters that moved in next door.
the last 3 months have been a living hell.
i have an ongoing complaint with the slumlord that owns the property and the city is taking him to court for derelict vehicles next week (which i anonymously complained about, but i am sure i am being blamed for).
we went to the mall last friday, not to buy anything, but to walk around and look - and you could shoot a canon through the place.
there were 8 people total in the entire food court at lunchtime and not many more inside the building.
it felt kind of freaky and kind of depressing - mind you it was cool not having anyone run into you but at the same time, watching all the counter staff with nobody to wait on made me realize just how bad those guys must be feeling.

I was just wondering why, instead of arguing trivial doctrine like the 607 (or whatever it is) with your family that is still in....why do ex JW not bring up some of these issues like WT conspiring with "honest" demons.
If WT ever promoted this train of thought and have not recanted, it would seem to me a bigger more contemporary issue and of much more importance than 607 and the other tedious distractions of their dogma.
I would think this sort of info could pull some people out of there.
is this true?.
the watchtower of february 1, 1978 said on page 18 about jesus that: ... he was the chief son of jehovah, next to him in the universe.. .
to me this implies that wt teaches in opposition to scripture that jesus is the only begotton son..... "the chief son" seems to imply there are others, but he is 'a' favorite.
The Logos, the active agent of Jehovah God ...created Lucifer;
then the Logos would have had to create Jesus, tooThe Logos is Jesus.....
Let me see if I understand this.
The Logos is the active agent of god.
The Logos created Lucifer.
The Logos is Jesus.
Jesus created Satan/Lucifer.
Jesus and Satan are brothers.
Jesus created his own brother.
i know jws teach that jesus has mpd and is also angel micheal.
i don't know why they think this.. but anyway...my question is....why would jesus open the pit of demons and sic them on everybody?.
are these demons "annointed" to do the slaughtering at armageddon?.
has this changed?
if jesus is the mediator to only the anointed 144,000 ... who is the mediator for the rest of them?.
.
Is there some documentation that the Governing Body receives spiritual communication from the deceased anointed?
I found some info that the WT believes some of the demons are "honest" and can be redeemed. So I wonder if maybe GB is receiving spiritual communication from these "honest repentant demons." I would sure like to know more about this from someone closer to the source.
Maybe that is the source for the FDS?
Some artists actually charge by the square inch! For real.
My advice is to start at very low afforable prices. Then, as your work begins to sell, and you begin to gain reputation through shows, awards, media, community activity and contributions, prestigious collectors, etc. then you begin to raise your prices. Once your work is in demand and becomes recognizable, then let your prices reflect the supply/demand.
honor jehovah by displaying dignity .
this ten-year old has quickly learned that dignity is only the outward appearance.
why, though, can humans act with dignity?
i got into a discussion w a customer about religion and ambiguity.
she asked me if there is truth.
thinking about that, the only thing that i could come up w is 'all is one'.
