only need answer if you have already researched, come to an understanding, or have seen this and currently figuring it out.
if you have no idea what i'm talking about, then question doesn't apply to you as i feel it's information that is only understood at the right time and to those allowed to get understanding of it.. ***if you would like to give me some answers, but feel the information can't be posted publically or your restricted in whom to give it to, feel free to message me directly.
that's also why i am asking these questions in a way in which only you would understand, but i do not know how to find you otherwise.. .
EOM- did your research take you as far as John 21:25 ? why lay all your hope on one book, when what you seek would fill more than this world could contain???
A master is not above his servant... John 13:1-17
You would do well here to not think yourself above anyone else here on this board!
there is a scripture that basically says we shouldn't let men or a group of men interpret the bible for us... anybody remember what it is?.

WLG- here is a parable for you
Matt 16:5-12
The yeast of the pharisees... the added words and teachings in the bible that are NOT scripture! this is why in Proverbs 23:23 it says to buy truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding...
Once you know and understand that the bible was written by mere men (and lying scribes)- then you wont need someone else to do your thinking/interpreting for you...
there are a few bible verses i'm going to discuss that probably don't bother anyone but me.
in fact, most people, including ex-dubs think they are wonderful verses.
i think they are really, really creepy verses.
Farkel- the second commandment is pretty self explanitory, if we all look after everyone else, then no one goes without. But you wouldn't follow the second if you didnt follow the first...
IMHO the first is the most important. If your mum or dad said "please dont play out on the road" would you do as you were asked because your good kid or because you love and trust that your parents know better than you do??? would you heed advice from someone you hated??? or would you play out on the road because mum and dad dont exist as far as your concerned???
Where is mum you ask, go out side and look around- thats her. Where is dad- close your eyes and feel him with your heart!
Parents dont bark orders at their children because they are just mean and want to control everything, they set rules/commandments/bounderies for their children to keep them safe and their household a peacefull and loving place to live...
I didnt miss your main point- just is, I aint a spoilt brat who doesn't like doing as their told

Sorry Farkel, your a funny guy, but I dont find those commandments creepy at all.
As a mum all I ask of my children is to love me in return and to be kind to each other- this makes for a peacefull and loving home to live in. Saying thankyou and not acting like a spoilt brat is not really that big an ask is it??? or is it???
i felt that they the governing body, was busting my balls each and every time they said referring to themselves: gods spirit directed organization, which incidentally is the same as calling them selfs with such arrogance the christian congregation.
i think these are croaking sounds as spoken through the book of revelation maybe.
they use these tearms as though no one else on planet earth is ever spirit directed, in any manor shape or form.
I thought they were called Jehovah's Witnesses because they are witness to Jehovah and his followers
Christians follow and are witness to Christ Jesus....
If the two are two seperate "people/spirits/Gods"- the the JW's worship two Gods by calling themselves The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.....
You gotta go through Jesus to get to Jehovah, otherwise the Jw's should just drop the new testiment, stick to the OT and become reformed Jews!
I'm so glad I am a Deist right now- this stuff confuses even me at times
i mean somebody had to do it.
i guess if someone called me judas i'd take it as a compliment..
I read this a while ago, thought it may be of interest to the topic

Judas is one story that is just not told right by most churches... but an important lesson is learned here- keep your friends close and your enemies closer!
many witnesses that i know have this attitude of superiority and "i'm smarter and better" than you.
are ex witnesses that much different?.
I was a lovable bitch before I studied- I am now back to my norm... the only change is, I now wear a nice big cross on my necklace around town and make a point of saying hello really loudly and friendly to passing JW's at my son's school- it makes them look like asses when they just keep walking with their heads downs and is a great conversation starter for anti witnessing when the other mums ask why they are being so rude, when I was being so nice ... hehehehehe, no wonder they 'unofficially marked' me /
here is one link to an article about it with photos.
but you can just google it for some great videos and pics.
thoughts are it could have been a russian missile but the scientists aren't sure yet.. .
I just find it a little too coincidental that the US president was in Norway at the time... something about a Peace Prize?? I dont know, it's late here, and my brain is just not functioning well tonight- maybe the strange lights have caused it
"(so and so) is no longer a jehovah's witness.".
what year approximately?.
.
So the meeting I was present for in January this year , when the annoucment was made ('changes to the anouncement') means we're 3 years behind here in Australia ??? or maybe it was just a reminder??? who knows... I was only half paying attention that night- still a bit peeved after reading the stuff on 'how to treat a DF'd person' earlier during that meeting
hey, i want to google a topic...the only problem is that i know what its about but i can't figure out what keyword to google.
it has to do with those subconscious words that the watchtower throws into all their literature that influences the way jws read & agree with its contents..... examples:.
no doubt.
My thoughts exactly Outlaw!
Give me a
