in the 10/15 watchtower study edition on pg.
12 is the article " what kind of spirit do you show ?
" right away this article starts drawing the line of demarcation in the sand between who has the right to make decisions within jehovah's witnesses and who does not have the right to do so.
some individuals ... have refused to appear before a committee of elders assigned to help them.
Those who came to Jesus for counseling and forgiveness came of their own volition. He taught, He called to conversion, but He did not compel anybody to appear before Him. Repentance comes from within, not from the demands of a committee.

i've never written on this site.
i've been inactive for about 6 years and glad i'm out.. i'm in my late 40's.
so about 2 years ago, i go on facebook and looked up this brother i use to like when i was in my 20's he was a bethelite.
just because someone was a JW in the past doesn't mean they can't loose all the moral decency they use to have
That assumes they ever had moral decency in the first place. Liars and hypocrites are found everywhere; putting on a good act for outward appearances is their game.
You gave him a second chance, and a third, and then some. He blew them all. If you keep doing the same thing, it will not get better.
solving the riddle of 666!.
one is easily thrown off track, if while reading revelation 13:18, he/she begins by believing that this following scripture is talking about every man alive ever since the creation of adam; for such is not the case at all; but is talking about only one single individual.
this man in question, is obviously a marked man according to revelation 13:17!.
Even the Roman Empire is a kind of abstraction and the writer of Revelation zeroes in on a particular man, whom he is reluctant to name--perhaps because if he were to do so, he would be subject to the charge of treason and the punishment of execution. Cautiously he identifies the man in such a way that his more knowledgeable readers will know exactly whom he means and yet the law will not be able to touch him...

(Asimov's Guide to the Bible, pg 551, Avenel Books, 1981)
Jgnat: Asimov also discussed 666 vs. 616, which he says can be attributed to an alternative spelling.

watchtower switching horses?.
today i uploaded a new article addressing the de-emphasis of charles taze russell sensed at watchtowers recent annual meeting.
it turns out that pictures tell a story.
Apparently St Paul, St. John and Martin Luther aren't a big deal anymore either.
They also dropped Arius, the original anti-trinitarian.
(i'm not sure this is the correct sub-heading, but - since i was her 'doggie-mommie'...).
this is in tribute to the best doggie weve ever had, sheeba.
i first met sheeba in the autumn of 1997. id been driving past the local countys animal shelter the dog pound for several years.
Sorry to hear about you losing your faithful dog, Zid. Unconditional love is a lesson they teach us so well!
