the brother who gave the public talk on sunday said.
that people who are not jehovah's witnesses are.
blinded by satan.
Hmmmn.... I though that satan was responsible for the great apostacy that blinded all except the mormon's Joseph Smith from 'knowing the truth"??? I smell a rat! or do I? what were we talking about again?????
Lillith's gone crazy enough to talk about herself in the second?first person?- darn satan lol 
inspired by the other thread on the family worship arrangement and by a request for printed information here are scans from the latest wt about this arrangment.
the article starts off by using a favourite wts tactic - fear!.
hopscotch.
I didnt make is past reading the first paragraph 
but thank you for posting the scans... I did notice it mentioned that the 'head' of the family is usually a single parent- are they admitting to being responsible for breaking up families?????????
my wife and i want to start looking afresh at the bible, go back to basics as it were.. what have people here found to be the best approach?.
what translations of the bible would you reccomend (i have the nwt).
what commentaries / texts have people found most useful?.
The most honest approch I can think of (and the one I took), was to research it's origins, history and the religion that came before christinaity.....
By looking at the bible from all angles possible before placing your 'faith' in it as being 'the word of God' (regardless of translation used), you will have more information on which to base your opinions..... and dont expect to ever know anything 100%
When buying a new car, do you ignor complaints made about a certain model and not double check first before you buy it???
Take full advantage of Google- check as many websites as you can find that have a netural approach to the study of the hebrew and greek scriptures- and a good website on 'religious tolorance' is always a good idea.......
JWN also has a search.... perhaps most of what your looking for has already been posted here......
Goodluck with your studies/search
now, i'm not a prophet, but i would consider this article to be a uh, spirit-directed excerpt from what could happen--but we are not saying.
questions from readers.
is it necessary to offer thanks in prayer before eating snacks?.
.......... I didn't even realise it wasn't a real one untill I saw the date..... but then again, even the real answers are funny as all hell to me now!... Great stuff Sd-7!
this is perfect religion with imperfect people.
the elders are imperfect that is why there are problems.
we just need to endure because jehovah is allowing this as a test to see if we will still love him.
Dough- A Deer- A Dumba$$ Deer- Who did not actually read this thread properly- Who is just here to push his own agenda 
Practise what you preach please............
Life Is Too Short- Mr Flipper has already said it for me.... 
but here is a hug... I sign of support and friendship.... I have read too many of these heart breaking threads lately....... The Borg Clearly does break up marriages and destroys friendships- I am glad that forums like this exist, and that ex JW's or still-ins have a place to come online for support and unconditional love (from most posters).....
My heart goes out to you lits... to you and others just like you......
how to protect your faith .
ensure that your concept of god is so vague that nobody can know precisely what you are talking about.
pay no attention to people who try to reason with you.
After reading the thread "Re-Read my first Post"- I though it would fun to go back through my older posts... just to see how much (if at all) I have changed since joining JWN...... Yeah.... Ummmnnnn.... I was bit childish- and still dumbfounded that I wasn't given a firm warning for some of my earlier posts....... but this troll did give as good as it got IMO..... but even though I am laughing- it's a bittersweet laugh.... I miss having trolls to play with.... I'm still a big kid at heart, and love debating...... But i think after the last 5 months of posting on here, and getting to know some really great 'real' people.... I'm over being childish for now......
But I do reserve the right to change if another troll appears and wants to play
Sorry for hijacking your thread Gubberningbody- I still think it's Good Stuff

99 out of 100 jws won't be able to spot the jest ---- why??.
because they are mentally conditioned thru 5 mind control meetings per week to ignore jests of any kind.. (the gb would never allow jests in the artwork).
A subliminal piece of artwork from Lillith to the WTBTS- do you think the GB will get my hidden message? LOL

Why is there two straw huts inbetween the ship and the dead fish???? this picture looks like it's been cut and pasted from about 6 other pictures... it's like a badly put together mosaic (spelling?)......
