I feel I preached falsely about God's promise, I believed these men were the FDS. based on a false chronology taught to me by them. As I did this preaching I feel a responsiblity for it. However I feel somethings were hidden as to the history of the organization that had I been aware of I would not have preached it. They were aware.

Ray Franz Was Wrong
by Farkel ingod rest his soul.
although i never met him personally, he and i did correspond a number of times, and i have numerous friends who have not only met him, but stayed several days with he and cynthia at their home.
if nothing else, ray was kind, non-judging, and generous.

I think there were things I didnt know, like the history of the organization, what it's like to claim to be one of the anointed. I don't know what these men didn't know that would excuse them. They were there at the beginning some of them and had full knowledge of all that has been done in the name of Jehovah. To take positions of responsibility makes you responsible.

I don't have anytime for elders. They know how it is before they reach out for the position of enforcer in the congregation. They like to judge their brothers.
How many sisters like want to marry a man who is elder material. I had friends who only went to bethel for what they could get sexually. As one put it all the fathers in the congregation want you to meet their daugther.
Men are always sexually driven

I didnt find them weird. I found that they thought alot of themselves and liked the position. I think it's a sexual thing, women like powerful men and men seek power.

Thought stopper: "We are the only ones doing what Jesus did."
by sabastious inthis is one of the top thought stopping phrases here.. it invalidates any argument presented against the organization.
it basically says this:.
"it doesn't matter who did what in the org, it doesn't matter how bad things get, we are the only ones doing what jesus did, therefore all errors and corruption are disregarded as we await the end.".

The world wide preaching of Christ's return in error is of no benefit to anyone

Debator,
I think I commented on the birthdays and christmas. Maybe you should reread my comments. I think I made comment that when I was a child and asked what we celebrated when I said we didn't celebrate Christmas or Birthdays I would reply we celebrate memorial of Jesus death and when asked what we do I would say we had another boring meeting no presents. etc. and you commented in at one point not to be drinking of the cup of the Lord and of demons and I asked you what that is? Are you drinking of it? Which seems to me to be on topic.
I almost forgot the part about Santa and how although I wasn't raised with that belief I was raised with the belief at the young age that the end was about to happen and soon I would have large carnivorous animals as my friends and pets and my parents and I would never grow old. That seems worse than the Santa story don't you think?
And sometimes my kids would do that. When discussing what they have done they shift it to what someone may have said or done.
