  Thank you Snare & Racket for your list posting. It is very accurate to the letter. I was a dedicated witness for 50 years. I have read every piece of literature available since Charles T. Russell. I had access to two complete libraries outside of WT headquarters, so I was able to find out the facts for myself. I am not an apostate, although I was falsely accused of being one. Wt has changed the definition of the word to suit their control methods. An apostate hates Jehovah God and His son Jesus, and all that they represent.

  There are many who have been removed from WT because they researched WT own libarary and found inconsistancies. They did not go around spreading their information to others or online, but tried to work through the organizational channels. For their truthful efforts, they were removed and branded as apostates.

  When I encounter anyone who fits this discription, I always ask them if they still love Jehovah and His son Jesus? If they say yes, then I will work with them. Jesus said he came to find the lost sheep of Isreal, not of the nations. Isreal was Jehovah's people and Jesus earthly family. Lost sheep were people the elders of the day, the Pharisees and Saduccees would not allow into the temple, and or who got discourged and went to live in the wilderness. John the Baptist also went to find them in the wilderness. He was dearly loved by the "misfits" of Isreal.

  WT likes to bring the Korah example up when dealing with those who do not agree with them. Moses was humble and had Korah and his followers appear in front of all the people. Any witnesses in defense of Korah or against him were heard. Them Moses let Jehovah deal with Korah. Moses and the elders did not remove Korah. Even earlier when the direction of Moses and Aaron was questioned, Moses asked that the dead wood staffs be brought forward and the one that budded would be the high priest. He did not have a problem with what God decided in matters of leadership.

  I feel that the situation is much like the Pharisees, who put themselves in the seat of Moses. Great humility is needed.

  The Truth about Eve...... is there more to the story, and has it been hidden by religion ?

  by *lost* in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i get the feeling that there is more to the eve story than we are aware of.. if we look at the patriachal religions, they are very 'anti-woman'.

  is this based on their corruption of the bible story.. .

  yes, i think there is more to the story of eve, and our the 'origins' than we think.. father god, mother goddess.. .

  For the first several hundred years of man and womans beginings, oral teaching was the means for handing down information. Since Adam lived 900 years, he crossed paths with thousands of other humans. If we were 900 years old today, who would we know? If someone said something wrong about George Washington, we could correct them, instead of relying on other peoples writings. By the time Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, many lives of righteous people had overlapped. Hebrews had large families with lengthy lineages. The same God who parted the Red Sea, and caused the sea bed to be dry enough for thousands of Hebrews and their animals to cross, allowed them to never dispute the creation account after witnessing the miracles of God. To them creation was another miracle, where God was in control of the elements. As for Eve, today, most women would hit that old snake over the head, or run screaming back to their man, but Eve was innocent. When she ate the fruit she did not die and neither did Adam, so it appeared for 900 years the serpent was right. Then life ended for them. Now he's a liar.

  I found this paragraph in the Watchtower study to be so ridiculous and offensive......

  by Pyramid Scheme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  usually i read through the study article for the week to see if there are good points of discussion with my family.. when i read this paragraph, i nearly fell off my chair.

  this is complete and utter garbage.

  i have had discussions with my wife and other family members who also agreed it was complete rubbish.

  So heres the deal. They miss the whole point of memorial. Each year we lay our sins before the alter and ask forgiveness. On that night of all nights it will be done. So everyone attending is forgiven and that includes DF. We start a whole new year over. For anyone to carry it over without forgiveness, they will not be forgiven. The buck stops there. Rest assured that no matter what the elders say and do after that, you are forgiven. Thank you Jesus.

  They put themselves in the "seat of Moses." If you even hint at disagreeing with them they throw in the Korah threat. This really identifies them in "the seat of Moses." Moses always tested God's decisions, remember the staff that bloomed? Then when it came time to deal with Korah and his cronies, it wasn't in some little tent way out on the edge of the encampment, it was out in the open in front of all the people. Moses did not call down the punishment on Korah, he let God do it all. This is what happens when they get too full of their own self importance.

  Emmmm I know that Nisan 14 is the first full moon after the spring equinox, which is March 20 th my sons BD. That has always been the norm for memorial night. So.... That being said, according to calendardaze.com/full_moon_schedule, it is on March 27 not March 26. They got it wrong one other year. The moon wasn't completely full when they came out of the KH and looked up.

  I would like to see what specific doctrinal points were at dispute. It determines if there is a common thread. I know we are in the time of scriptural fullfillment, and the elders are not catching it. They will have all of us on contiual watch. The watch comes to an end some time.

  According to: http://calendardaze.com/full_moon_schedule.htm the first full moon after the spring equinox is April 6. Memorial is always the first full moon after March 20th. That would make it April 6 not the 5th. They made the same mistake last year. I received one invitation last year. On the invitation Jesus was holding out his left hand, not his right. So what? You are a goat until you go to memorial and get moved to the other side? The sheep are on the right and the goats are on the left. Does it matter? Yeah life matters.

  Memorial: Attendance Down, But Partakers Up!

  this is the impression i am getting from various threads.

  of course, we won't "know" until they release the figures... oh, what am i talking about.

  we won't know then, either, because we know that they discount anyone who partakes that they don't recognize or deem "worthy".
