  sd-7's Evening Meal, The 1st Memorial of Freedom from the WT

  in the night that his expulsion from jehovah's witnesses was to be announced, sd-7 took a pop tart, gave thanks to no one, not even kellogg's, broke it, and passed it to himself, saying, "take, eat.

  this means my body, which no longer sits in a kingdom hall.

  keep chewing this in remembrance of me.

  If the faithful and discreet slave is god's channel someone needs a new antenna.

  So if I partake with you, does that make me the antitype SD-7?

  If I have pop tarts in the pantry I will celebrate for you tonight, however soy milk will have to be acceptable.

  On second thought, since I am not DF'd (yet), should I just pass the plate and not partake?

  Can't reconcile the JW concept of "temptation"

  when told recently of someone in the congregation who had "given in to temptation", the person relating the incident said: "satan waited until just the right moment to tempt br.

  weak.

  i began thinking about the correlation between temptation, free will, and what jws teach about wicked spirit creatures' abilities (or lack thereof).. jws teach that wicked spirit forces can affect the material world-- move objects, speak in audible voice, create visions, possess living creatures (humans included); yet they also teach that they cannot read or manipulate our thoughts.

  so we've all heard the ramblings of obves and larsinger about the coming end of the world this year or next.

  i want to know what you think the exuses will be when they do not come.. harold camping is the one proclaiming may 21, 2011 as the time of the rapture and october 21, 2011 as the end of the world.

  when no one disappears on may 21st, what do you think his excuse will be?

  No need Poopsicakes, I'm not going to hijack Jam's thread, however I think Spade answered Jam's question for me. Why would I want to return to that attitude?

  Spade: you are a first class idiot!

  Spade said: They will never repent and humbly seek God’s forgiveness for their sin and rejection of Christ’s ransom.

  I have done nothing needing forgivness for. I have done nothing contrary to bible standards, you need to wake up and realize that the organization makes up "standards" that DO NOT exist in the bible. You are a first class Pharisee for calling me and many on this board worthy of needing any man-made organization. Maybe one day you will stop letting people drag you around by your wagging tongue and making you lick their boots.
  I for one am done with this, nothing more nothing less; I do not answer to any man.
  Grow Up and stop being a troll.
