4Pauls words, meant for who?
by lulu in.
1cor.4:2-4. is he just speaking to the 'holy ones' or is this meant for all of us?
if just for the holy ones, are the hebrews sciptures just meant for the israelites, the greek scruiptures for the holy ones and anything left for the rest of us?

Awaiting punishment.?
by lulu inyesterday november 3rd my husband and i had a visit from three elders( grand jury) as we had given them proof of the affliation of the wtbts to the un.they wanted us to recant and say the society was telling the truth (same old thing only for libary pass not ngo) and to say that the un were liars(all 30,000 who work there, apparently jw's also work there).
when we refused to compromise our integrity after 21/2 hours they departed saying they would let us know their decision!!.
we were obviously wrong when we thought only jehovah was the judge, so there you go, we were wrong again!

King Solomon
by Cicatrix inokay, maybe i'm ignorant, but i can't stop thinking about this.. it's recorded in the bible that jehovah gave solomon great wisdom.
so why did he eventually turn away from jehovah and start serving the gods of his foreign born wives?it would seem to me that that increased wisdom from jehovah would make him more likely to continue to serve jehovah faithfully.. this also brings to mind the account of adam and eve and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.. i considered this from the angle that solomon used his free will and chose to oppose jehovah.
but is free will really "free" if you are punished with death for disobeying the creator???.

no dates in bible.
by lulu insome time ago i came across on this site, so-called prophesies that the wtbts made .i.e.
a very good argument was given that this was absolute rubbish, obviously nowhere in the bible does it give dates, is there anyone out there who remembers it.
if so, please tell me where to find it again.

How do YOU deal with it??
by bad_associashun inhello all- recently joined, had some probs getting logged in, but here at last.... anyway, the question is: for those that can relate, when your heart feels heavy from the hurt, pain, regret, sorrow, bitterness, anger... and the lost years, stolen time, forsaken friends, broken relationships, wasted energies, abandonment, and lost love weighs on you --> caused by wt org.
stress.... how do you get past it?
what heals you, brings you relief, rescues you from total worthless feelings of inadequacy, comforts your wounds, keeps you from jumping on the train tracks?.
