What a long-winded way to call someone a liar.
at the 1994 district convention in bismark, north dakota, (could possibly have been 93) my sister wrote a note to her friend and tossed it in the garbage.
the note contained a discussion about going to boy's hotel rooms after the sessions ended, and other troublesome activities, including lying to the parents about what my sister and her friend were doing.. presumably, an attendant found this note in the garbage and turned it into the elders.
on the last talk of the last day of the convention, the note was read out loud to the entire audience, along with the warning that "whoever you are, we will find you.

i know that honest-hearted ones here are thoroughly sick of friend's ill-disguised, legalistic, nitpicking, ground-shifting, form-over-substancing, necrophilia-inducing attempt to deny that the setup and conduct of the watchtower society serves excellently to encourage pedophilia... (of course, like all apologetics claim, he is not defending the cult, only attacking the poor argument of the opposer - lol!
lol!
lol!).
Focus:
I for one enjoy your posts. It's much better to see an argument through rather than to have the main idea sidelined with shoddy tactics.
not too long ago i was talking to an acquaintance and the subject came up of how we really dont know even the people that are close to us.
i called to mind a funeral i did some time back for a friend of mine.
this guy was a great big, burly guy with a voice like a gravel truck unloading and a bone crushing grip.

A poetic masterpiece.
i've heard many people tell me about bible prophesy.
if the bible can predict future events then it stands to reason that those events are predetermined and man has no choices in this world.
think about all the choices you've made in your life and how different life for you would be if you had done things differently.
Thinker: I will refrain from comment on this, out of the same respect I showed spectromize on an earlier post.
bjc2012, please feel free to comment.

1881 - commands respect but is a poor and weak foundation for hopes (1881wtwr 05 01 04-5).
Yeah, wouldn't want to contradict the society's written history.

Hey Thinker:
bjc is right. It all depends on whether or not you choose to worship the God that the Bible claims created you. That choice is why so many religions exist today. It is a viable alternative to individual gods that permit practices that are harmful to others. Too bad it has it's own hang ups that end up shifting physical abuse to mental abuse for it's followers.
The Bible is a great book that gives you hope for something better than what you see. It's better than having no hope for anything beyond the life that you live now.

Ahh, the masonic roots shining through...
on what do you base your moral judgements now that you've left the wts?.
as jw's we used to allow the wt to direct us in any ethical question.
they would give us their opinion (claiming it to be bible-based).
anglise:
I like you.
when you look at the news headlines concerning the many out of control pestilences, i can't help but think of the scripture in revelation chapter 6 verse 8, what do you all think about this subject?
I'll try.
That's the spirit!
