during my "intervention" the other night, an interesting thing was brought up that i remember hearing all through my life.
i think even the wt has commented on it a time or two.. the girl i was talking to said, "can you just imagine what this world would be like if it was run by jehovah's witnesses?!?
" she was saying this so as to prove her point that jehovah's witnesses have love and would never go to war nor break the law.
"If the Watchtower ruled the world" . . . hmm . . . seems to me that THAT has already happened (so to speak) at another time by ANOTHER NAME. Think, the Roman Catholic Church when it had its power. Do you not recall its history? It created and toppled kings and emperors. It would just be a repeat of them, a repeat of the same.

the words "under god" were not included until 1954?.
that men, when not in uniform, should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart?.
many facts about"the pledge of allegiance can be found here:.
Our allegiance is owed to none other than Jaheshua Mischjah. He himself said so:
" All will hate you for your allegiance to me."--Matthew 10:22 New English Bible.
If you are giving it to someone or something else, including that of a piece of cloth, well . . . what can I say.

now that you have discovered the "truth" is not the truth, do you still believe that a truth exists?
do you think you have found one, are you still searching or have you given up on the whole idea of an absolute truth?.
Soldier77 has quoted it correctly when he/she quoted the words of Jaheshua: "I AM . . . the truth."--John 14:6. Can it get any plainer than that? To paraphrase:
'This means everlasting life, their knowing you, the only true God, AND of the one whom you sent forth, Jaheshua Mischajah." Do you want to know the truth or do you want to know the truth of things (take in knowledge of things)? Only you can answer that question.

i wanted to post this thread about shelby.. she get's a lot of grief by what she posts on this site, so i thought i would start a post on how shelby has helped ones that have left the borg.. i can't begin to explain how shelby has helped me, i felt like i was in a hole and she gave me answers to the many questions i had.
no matter how many emails i bombarded her with, she always took the time to answer.
yes there has been times when i haven't liked what she posted, but i asked christ to help me understand and he did...... shelby helped me to open my mind and come to the realisation that the borg can no longer stop me from becoming the beautiful person i was destined to become.. i think i speak for many when i say thank you shelby!!!!.
Snowbird! "Plantation-style"!!! I love it. I love it! LOLOLOL . . . LOLOLOL

he was the co in 1996. how's he doing and where's he at now?
thanks..
No, never played the accordian for us that I know of. Now that you mention it, if my memory serves me correctly, I think it was mentioned. But, no, he never played it. I understand that I really pissed him off when I asked too many questions of him and the body of elders back in 1996.

i asked this question to my mother and her husband the other night in a heated debate about the falsehood that the wbts is teaching its members.
i reasoned that their teachings are a contradiction and how can one live their life in truth, in honesty, without deceit or lies if they accept contradiction within ones faith?.
so again i asked them, "what is truth?
Soldier: You said truly,
I replied, "For one, that is not what was said nor the context it was being said, (Emphasis mine.)
You are totally correct. The context stated: "Whom shall we go away to? You have the sayings of everlasting life."
Yaheshua said: "I am the way. . . ."
Yaheshua said: "I am the . . . truth."
Yaheshua said: "I am the . . . life."
There is nowhere to go. There is only a "whom."
And besides that, I totally agree with you when you said:
"I['d] rather not "be with" an organization that is false and hypocritical, committing the unforgivable sin. I can't believe that with the amount of bullshit the both of you have gone through, the amount of abuse you've suffered, that you still think that this is God's organization."
Enough said!
so jws teach that if adam and eve hadn't disobeyed we would live in the garden of eden.
based on the telling of the story, adam and eve were so quick to disobey they didn't have time to have any children in the garden.
so what would have happened if adam and eve had not partaken, but some of their children had?
MindMelda: Are you kidding?!!! It has been my experience in speaking with many Jews throughout my life that most (including Scholars) don't know what's in their own book, as you call it. Yes, "they should know"--however, the many Jews with whom I have spoken with don't know diddly. No offense is intended when I state this (so please don't take any). I'm just stating "my" facts.
