  my dear old dad was the po of a congregation.

  he had been in the british marines during ww2.. one jolly day we were in the coach park at twickenham convention.. dad was watching the brothers and sisters getting off the coaches.. he looked at me and said quite pained: 'they all look like loonies.'.

  i kid you not..

  you've probably already heard that prince is calling his new album "follow the slave".

  but a closer look at the track list raises even more eyebrows.

  check out these song titles: "100 invisible years".

  Hello Iamallcool

  The closest thing I could find off hand was this

  Announcement of Disfellowshipping

  " When it is necessary to disfellowship an unrepentant wrongdoer from the congregation, a brief announcement is made " ___Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 154

  .

  .

  As we all know, anyone who chooses to leave under any circumstance is considered a " Wrongdoer "

  Disassociation

  " The term " disassociation " applies to the action taken by a person who, althought a baptised member of the congregation, deliberately repudiates his Christian standing, rejecting the congregation by his actions or by stating that he no longer wants to be recognized as or known as one of Jehovah's Witnesses "_______Organized to do Jahovah's Will book page 155

  .

  .

  " The person who disassociates himself by abandoning Jehovah's worship is viewed the same way as one who is disfellowshipped. "___Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 155

  The Good News of The Kingdom - Gods Plan for Salvation through the Ransom (Help Needed)

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when i first began studying in order to "make the truth my own", there were a set of scriptures that perplexed me and motivated me to dig deeper.. the scriptures are regarding the resurrection of the inhabitants of sodom & gomorrah.. see jesus words here - matthew 10:15 - "truly i say to you, it will be more endurable for the land of sodom and gomorrah on judgment day than for that city.

  " (ezekiel 16:48 / matthew 11:23 / matthew 11:24 / luke 10:12 ).

  any time that i brought these scriptures up to jw friends and family they would reply like this "jesus was speaking in hyperbole.. that is why he said it would be more endurable".. i would clarify and show them that it says "will be".

  " Even though many of thier teachings are flawed...this does not mean that Everything that they write is incorrect "___Objectivetruth

  Hello there Objective truth

  Here is what also came out of that horses mouth

  before it was beat to death

  .

  .

  " Most religions do teach that a person should not lie or steal, and so forth. But is that sufficient ? Would you be happy to drink a glass of poisoned water because someone assured you that most of what you were getting was water ? "___Reasoning from the Scriptures book page 323

  he had all the opportunities and talent to persue a 'higher' education and have a great career.

  Today nothing feels right. I feel like a bystander to all things . As if I'm nowhere and have no forward progression. Is it nostalgia kicking in ?_____Jon Preston

  Yes, That's exactly what your were doin' as a Jehovah's Witness while

  " Waitin' on the Kingdom "

  .

  .

  I understand how you feel Jon

  we all have those days

  The good thing about it, We don't have to " Wait "

  to change our circumstances

  Hope you feel better in the days to come
