Clarity's post made me wonder if switching to another local congregation might be an option for you. You could always refuse the new appointment.

Wow, This is Getting Tougher!
by Franklin Massey ini'm having a really hard time giving my meeting parts.
i had a service meeting part this week and i could hardly get through it.
i am no longer convinced of some of the things jws teach and so i try to either eliminate those things from my parts, or reword them so that i'm not speaking about that which i do not personally believe.

Hi, Franklin, I realize this isn't really an option for you but I was just curious as to what prevents you from stepping down?

Scriptural proof of a paradise earth? Psalms 72:7; Isaiah 33:24
by Joey Jo-Jo ina very close person i know is trying to show biblical proof that there are two classes, one in heaven and the other on a paradise earth, i think i have the celestial class 144000 covered.
i was given these two scriptures as proof that there will be everlasting life on earth.. psalms 72:7 - in his days may the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon is no more.. isaiah 33:24 - and no resident will say, "i am sick"; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.. would anyone have any brackground on these two scriptures and what they really apply to?.

The OT is like a darkened room. It's only when you bring the light of the NT to it that you are able to see it clearly. It's a large room with many items. As your understanding of the NT grows, you begin to see the outlines of the objects in the room. This grows until you can see the items clearly.
Also, while we're illustrating things, I'd like to add you can make continuous progress understanding the OT by using a method known as "tacking". That's where you flip back and forth between violent passages of the OT and peaceful passages of the NT until you somehow justify them both as being peaceful by just ignoring the violence. So while you're going side to side, you're also moving forward in an this vast.. ocean... of baloney. Or something like that.
Geez, I'm being an ass today and can't stop.

Hey, Dan, there you be.
Just so you know, I wasn't being sarcastic in the OP. I apologize for the smart-arse tone of my last post in the true Christian thread.
Also, I'll take you up on the your proposition. The way I see it, I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by reading the most convincing arguments for the Bible. With that in mind, I think I can suppress my biases pretty well.

Cofty: By all means abandon your disbelief for the duration of a movie but pick it up again at the door. Scepticism is a virtue.
Cofty, you're going to sit at the right hand of my god's throne for this post.

Taking Back the Payment for Sins?
by Ding init's my understanding that the wts teaches that jesus couldn't have been resurrected in a physical body because that would be taking back the payment made by the ransom sacrifice.. it's also my understanding that the wts teaches that people who are not of the 144,000 are not born again and are not under the new covenant.. so how is their sin paid for?
by their own deaths, right?
"the wages of sin is death.".

God took 4 thousand years to prove this point.
God needs to attend a time management seminar.
