??? Love never fails ???

by Zoos in

1 corinthians 13:8 - love never fails.... .

i've always thought it meant that where love once existed it will always exist, always be felt no matter what happens.

the last few years have forced me to abandon that understanding in favor of new light.. now i'm thinking: love never fails to be the appropriate way to handle any given situation.

Fernando

I would go along with that.

Somehow I don't think we'd be able to attract quite as many followers as the Watchtower though, despite it being new light and all.

Local Kingdom Hall Speakers To Be Replaced By Governing Body Video Feeds.

by donuthole in

so we've seen as the current gb is getting more facetime in an effort to reach the hearts and minds of the rank and file.

this took a leap with video feeds at an open annual meeting.

the international conventions are taking this a step farther.. do you think that local speakers at kingdom halls could ever be replaced by headquarter approved video feeds?.

Fernando

Yay.

Bring it on already.

So that more can see through these Pharisees.

Someone please write them a sycophantic letter begging them for this "loving provision"...

Why did Ray Franz leave the Organization? Your Opinion Matters!

by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

what would make a man throw away all his earthly riches to expose the cult?

what did ray franz have to gain by leaving in total poverty?

if ray franz had stayed in place, he could have lived like a god, why did he leave?

Fernando

He began to see that "legalism" is apostasy, and is rife in the Watchtower.

On the otherhand he saw that the "gospel of grace" was being carefully hidden from Watchtower followers.

Hence his crisis of conscience.
