Hi Paulapollas
Just to clarify my thinking on the post top brass at bethel-
Is not head of factory and production Rick Bell not Peter ?
Many thanks for a reply
Acolytes.
a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.
i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

poster sapphy (i think).
wrote this phrase and to me it is the best and simplest way of rendering the new understanding at its most ludicrous.. ''we believe that the generation that saw the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away until all these things occur''.
this will evidently be extended to ''the generation that saw the generation that saw the generation that saw 1914'' etc.

Today I met a brother out with his watchtowers.I asked what he thought of apostate teachings. I got the pridictable answer. I then explained the new teaching on what Jesus presumably meant with the term generation. The conversation finnished with me getting very irate that he was distributing apostate literture with the watchtower he was offering the public.
Iam seriously considering going to the meeting raising my hand and enlightning the congregation on the new teaching-

it occurd to me (being relativly new to the internet) that the internet allows the world to unite under the blanket of freespeach.. the internet really has moved humanity forward, people of all races and nationalities, all religions and sexual prefrences have had the internet as a tool to change the thinking of people.. maybe the internet will be the one thing that keeps our blood being spilled by some fanatical government that seeks to divide our countries?.
on a smaller note a poster named "minimus" started a topic titled "does your life have meaning.
" it occurd to me that this board exsposes the watchtower organisation .people myself included have been freed because of the internet.
Nugget . Well said-
Iam sure soon the society will equate the internet as "A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing"
(Any help) Their modern day application on scripture to justify this ?

If religon is a set of beliefs concerning the cause nature and purpose of the universe then it is possible their will be a true religon-I doubt it exists today.

And each time we post we contribute to freeing people from the watchtower. I never thought of it like that before!!!

Hi Heaven
You said "the physiology of the brain is such that for every negative thought ,you nees at least 12 positive thoughts to nullify the damaging effects from 1 negative one."
It is worth remembering positive thinking can be very dangerouse.( I say this as a great beliver in positive thinking) But from exsperience positive thinking can be as damaging as negative thinking if it is not combined with realistic thinking .
So I would say "creativehoney" Apply positive realistic thinking and remember LIFE DOESNT NEED TO BE PERFECT TO BE WONDERFUL.

i've read by some posters that the watchtower was a "member" of the un.
i believe this is incorrect.. i only make this comment because if we were to repeat the thought that the witnesses were members of the united nations, such misinformation could backfire on us..
Minimus . Yes its better to get it right. But I have evidence from here to washington D.C that Jehovers Witnesses are wrong on most of their teachings.If a Jehovers Witness wants to nick-pick on the phrasing with their association as members of the U.N its nit-picking- They are deaf dumb and blind to hearing anything that threatens their beliefs. Sadly they also add nit-picking to that list.
