  i am feeling a bit out of sorts & i need to bounce this off the board.. do some of you remember the coming out of the un scandal back when?.

  have you seen the letter from the un in c of c?.

  i am sitting here with that original letter in my hand.. the day before the date on this letter, i had heard about the watchtower involvement on hourglass2.

  I haven't done a lot in the big scheme of things but even still, I get an occasional PM from someone who tells me something I said or wrote that is archived on the Internet helped them. Yeah, one person can make a difference, and often does.

  That said, is it ever REALLY just one person? Links to the stuff I did are hosted on someone else's ex-JW site. The letter you obtained, apocalypse, was printed in someone else's book. Those are just two examples of individuals making a difference but with cooperation and assistance from others.

  It takes individuals AND it takes cooperation.

  Work to help others and keep paying it forward, everyone.

  I'm going to take donations for my daughter to do an education abroad trip. Teaching a young person about other people and cultures and instilling respect and love for all is probably the most worthy cause around. EVERYBODY profits. We hope to set up a kickstarter account :)

  My Meetings With Two Elders Today, "I am not a Christian and I am going to Die!"

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi, my time is drawing ever closer as i can no longer speak lies about the organization and all the past revisions and my sins i committed against everyone i judged while serving on judicial committees.

  i lay awake at night with guilt because i ask jehovah and his son jesus christ to forgive me for being so judgemental, self assured and arrogant at certain times in my life.

  i was not a prince of peace, at times i was a coward when i was first appointed because i wanted to keep all things peaceful with my peers, not with my heavenly father and saviour jesus christ.

  leaving-quietly is right. They have no more authority with this new doctrine. And they're too stupid to even realize it. lol

  I always think of this when I hear someone referred to as "remarkable."

  If the Governing Body are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, Could the Governing Body all die at once?

  by Eustace in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm thinking that if all the governing body members all died at once, it would disprove this whole "the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave" business once and for all.. the faithful and discreet slave, according to watchtower teaching, will continue to exist into the time of the end.

  so if the governing body all die at once, that means they ain't the faithful and discreet slave.. they need more youngish gb members quick!.

  If they all died at once, they would invent a "rapture" doctrine instantly to explain it.

  I think friends add friends to groups and admins invite people to groups. It's just two types of nomenclature for the same result, I believe.

  Rather than seeing the pissing match continue, I'd like to see a serious answer to bohm's question.

  It's only a FB group, for crying out loud. It's not like anyone wants to see the volunteer list shredded.

  AAWA has caused divisions and has lost the opportunity to be effective

  here's the thing,.

  the whole aawa idea had noble ideas behind it, but the ship has sailed and the movement needs to go back to the drawing board.

  period.

  Thing is, *lost*, is that this isn't an argument anymore because AAWA is no longer engaging JWN in debate. Why can't the haters let it drop, too?

  Haven't read the entire thread. Just the OP.

  My response: LMAO

  Just because a couple handfuls of know it alls on a message board aren't happy with an organization doesn't invalidate the organization and what it's trying to do. And before I'm accused of shilling or something, let it be known that although I'm in their FB group, I'm neither a member nor a volunteer of AAWA and don't intend to be.
