You know if you believe that flies came from old meat, then I would say go back and finish your cooking. Taxes were meant to support war efforts and now they are allocated to other things. The answer is not to ask for new taxes but to be glad with the rghts that are done with the ones that we now have. Who really knows everything about the workings of internal affairs? Key issues are raised in your discussion and Jehovah's Kingdom is on standby to address such issues. The world is passing away and so is it's desires. Just keep that in mind.

It is interesting that you ask such a question. You know to destroy yourself is personal between you and your father based on the degree of knowledge and your faith in Jehovah's saving power. Also, I was reading an article about back in the day, there were love spells put on men used with baking a gingerbread man while the witch chanted and the woman masturbated. This is just trivial knowledge. Not to say that this practice is to be associated with girl scout cookies or any other for that matter. What else will one do in search of love. Please...

I always have heard of apostates. When I was young and the organization told us to stay away from people like that. Now others outside of the organization didn't think that the organization were on the up and up. This was mid 80's . They used to believe in the hell fire doctrine and so forth. Now Jehovah has made every knee bend and that was the moment that I feard. --- When I read that in the bible because I never heard it from the society yet---I imagined this moment and I never wanted to force my knee to bend. I was however placed in a fearful situation where by I chose Jehovah as a refuge because I saw life's problems insermountable and the wicked spirit forces attacking. I knew where my help was from and guess what? Brother-Jehovah again made me comfortable. Now I detect that you might be right in what you say about some people that you meet within the organization, however Jehovah's oraganization is perfect and is ran by imperfect people who make terrible mistakes sometimes and take them longer to figure out answers to life's problems. Or they may chose to rely on someone else to fix what is not being stated clearly. Imagine that, to be scared of the truth. Whatever a person's reason is wether it is telling a policeman where a meeting is because they're afraid for their life or something because of the weaker vessel element, the fact remains is that Jehovah is working through His orginization. Making knees bend. And is not far from no one. The truth is how far do we want to be from Him? As a servant of Jehovah we are in a positon to the best of our knowledge, reason with a brother. Older men are caught up in this paradox as well. And the organization is designed to where by if a person does have information that the society hasn't published then it shouldn't be spoke of as a quote from the society in the smallest degree. Just to see if you are caught up in a lifestyle and you are trying to escape the clause of disaster and you feal no way out then guess what Jehovah understands and eventually He will make all things new. Can you dig it?

You know what? You have said a mouthful when relating that. Some rivers are deeper than we figure. First of all I think you are doing a swell job initiating interest in meeting new friends. Jehovah will bless our efforts you know how they say about the rain? Well, my suggestion for you is be yourself and hope for the best. I mean what else converstion is there if it is not about a better life. Talk soup? So lively up yourself and think that you are definitely the bomb.

Now we are in a world full of ideas and everybody wants to be a winner and take their place at the top. There is enough for everyone to go around as was brought out in numerous accounts. It is just positioning yourself to feal comfortable at any given momement. That is why I look forward to the time when all tears will be wiped out. I will always have an outlook on life to whereby the decisions that I will make will be for good. That is what Jehovah promise in Revelation 21:3,4.

I was disfellowshipped beforebut it wasn't for division. I told them that I practiced immorrallity if I spelled that right. It is not a good idea to have an attitude of hatred or should I say non unity because it goes against the grain of he way we are designed. There is somethihng that draws a person to another and there is something that repells persons. Emotions are different which is a major factor on why we can't all just get along, so to speak.

It is good to be able to feal comfortable enough with oneself to display it outwardly. You chose to let your hair down. How many people in todays society actually have time or even a good grain of hair in order to let it down as you say? That is such a marvelous blessing from Jehovah and I hope that you feal that way often. I hope your message inspires others to do the same.

Now any body who is a firm believer of Proverbs will tell you that disciplining a child show how much you love that person. It wil also aid in growing the person into a balanced thinking adult when it comes to making decisions that will effect his or her future. The thing about it is that when ever a person gets emotionally disturbed to the point of spanking their own children, usually it is done without a thourough explanation of why the disciplin is happening. When I say thorough I mean, for instance, misbehaving in a congregational meeting. Instead of just spanking, one should sit down and discuss the benefits of listening to the great teacher. And also discuss what could happen if we don't listen to the teacher. All children know that they are loved dearly when they are disciplined. Keep in mind to train mentally you have to reach through understanding words.
