  a taunton mass.

  2nd grader was sent home from school after the class was asked to draw something relating to the holidays.

  he had been with his dad a couple of weeks before to a church function and saw these types of crosses on display.

  A scene from my novel - last days calculation

  i have an agent looking at this thing, who knows what might come of it.. after reading some recent posts about last days, solar eclipses and the like i decided to show everybody how my fictitious religion did it.

  hope the flashbacks aren't too bad.

  i call this the "all roads let everywhere" method of interpretation.

  Sounds as plausible as anything the JWs have taught. What is the name of Jill's cult? I'd like to join.

  What do you feel God wants you to do at this moment in time?

  open question, please list scriptures that give you that direction or what you base your answer upon.

  i know there are so many different viewpoints on this forum, it will be interesting for all to see them and what scriptures or reasoning they are based on.. some examples are,.

  do you feel only one needs to have love, faith in jesus, and those basics and that is what you must proclaim.. do you feel true knowledge must be taught to all, and as much as is known.

  Do you believe God has one true organization on earth?

  for those who believe in god, do you believe he has one true organization on earth?

  word of our intended slow fade has abruptly become a public knowledge.

  my husband was talking to his sister on the phone today, breaking the news to her and one thing she kept bringing up was that god has to have an organization on earth.

  "To add to brother PSac's thought:"

  Think of all the good examples we have in the Bible. A great number of them were seen as rebels by the prevailing "God's ONLY Organization" of the day.

  i'm curious if there's ever been a poll or some kind of jwd census.

  how many apostates, active jw's, faded, df'd, da'd are there on the forum?

  how about how many who were once jw's but now have moved on to another religion versus those who now have no affiliation?

  Couldn't a sort of online poll be set up that doesn't record any data about the respondents other than their answers? How would that give up private information?

  Nope, not at all. Why? Lots of reasons.

  One, John 18:36. Jesus is unambiguous here. His kingdom is not of this world.

  Two, in all of history not one organization has adequately represented God. Not one.

  How Many Here Were Turned Down For "Privileges" Because You Weren't "Exemplary"?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  our odd body of elders would not allow the one person who wanted to mow the lawn at the kingdom hall to do this because he was not getting 10 hours in a month, he was only getting in 7. seriously.. were you ever told you couldn't have a "privilege" because you didn't measure up to their lofty standards?.
