i don't know about the rest of you, but i have seen my fair share of death.
both sets of grandparents, aunts and uncles, older jws that were pillars in the community.
i even knew the first missionary in missouri, a brother named gerald golf.
" I know some here don't believe in the after life in heaven, but I just wnder about all the Jdubs who have passed that are in heaven, that has to be the biggest " AhA moment " of all time____Shirley W
I don't know if there will be a " Aha moment " Shirley
They willingly followed a false prophet the scriptures warned 'em about
.
.
If anything, they might be yellin' "Oh Hell "
.
.
From what's expressed in the scriptures
they won't tolerate fools in heaven
and may 2014 be the beginning of the end for the wtb&ts ./ jehovahs witnesses.. smiddy.

Happy Newy Year everyone !!!!!!
Nice to see you PunkofNice
i could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.
everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.
it could only be divine providence.
" So let me get this straight...Jehovah God put the idea of translating software systems into the minds of men
who worked for the Watchtower Society so they could preach lies in even more languages throughout the inhabited earth "____whathappened

Special Message to DATA DOG,
I hope your return to this cult is a sarcastic joke
but if it ain't, here's somethin' for you to consider, and if not you, maybe it can help someone else
The info below is from The " Proclaimers of God's Kingdom Book "

Chapter 25
Preaching Publicly
And From
House To House ( Main Heading ) _____Proclaimers Book page 556

Reaching Many When Numbers Were Few ( Sub Heading )
" Then in the 1920's, another instrument became available to give wide publicity to the kingdom message. Brother Rutherford felt strongly that the hand of the Lord was manifest in its developement. What was it ? Radio. Here was an instrument that could reach millions of people simultaneously. "______Proclaimers Book page 562
.
.
In 1957, the Society decided to " smack the hand of the Lord " and discontinue their radio broadcast that reach millions in such a short time.
.
.
" Although radio and television have been used to spread the Kingdom message, Jehovah's Witnesses recognized that the personal contact made possible by house-to-house calls is far more effective."____Proclaimers Book page 572..

.
Trust. goin' door to door is not the way to get an URGENT message out
ask the folks who survived Hurricane Katrina
.
.
One could also make the same divine claim about the invention of the internet
and how the WTS tried to demonize it to prevent the use of such
so they could continue to mislead the masses through the translation of thier literature..
.
.
Just like the Radio and TV they tried to cut ties from the mass comunication the internet provided
because they knew that they couldn't control what might be found in the process
.
.
They can , however, control the information through thier literature translated by the WTS.
.
.
If anything, it's the INTERNET that the WTS tried to demonize that seems to be of divine intervention
because the WTS couldn't shut it down or control the flow of information

" Jewish beliefs do not invalidate christain teachings "______Fisherman.
How nice. BUT........ Jehovah's Witnesses invalidate all other religions
.
.
" Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that thier religion is the only right one ?
The Bible does not agree with the modern view that there are many acceptable ways to worship God. "_____Reasoning from the Scriptures book page 203
.
.
Here's a few more WT quotes for laughs
.
.
" Why are there so many religions ?
Many factors have contributed to the development of new religious groups. Some have said that the various religions all represent different ways of presenting religious truth. But a comparison of thier teachings and practices with the Bible indicates , rather, that the diversity of religions is because people have become followers of men instead of listening to God."______Reasoning from the Scriptures book page 322
.
.
"( Regaurdless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired word of God, thier worship is in vain.)"____Reasoning from The Scriptures Book page 323
.
.
" ( People may have God's written word but lack accurate knowledge of what it contains, because they have not been taught properly. They are zealous for God, but they may not be doing what he requires. Their worship is not going to please God, is it ? )"_____Reasoning from the Scriptures Book page 323

ok so you had a bad experience and you stopped going to church which ever one that is.
but did you stop believing or are you that peeved you blame god etc.
i would encourage you to humble yourself before your messiah and seek him, he will let himself be found by you and come dwells within you.
" Tell us in a nutshell what you want to say " ______Cofty
From the looks of it, Maccaulk 11 don't want any comfort,
even if it comes in the form of a back scratch, pat, or rub from God
.
.
i know nothing about legal matters, but there are those here who are quite keen at these things.. if they changed the no blood teaching, would this open the watchtower society up to litigation?.
" Technically they have changed thier attitude on blood scince they now accept " Blood fragrament "____Shirley W
.
.
Hello there shirley , good to hear from you
Since the WTS technically changed thier attitude on the way they view blood in relation to " Idolitry and fornication " ,
Those Bozo's in Brooklyn should allow whole blood as an option
.

" The WT is a religion, I don't see a liability " _____Band on the run
.
.
I agree , there are many things done under the guise of a religion that could be
counted as murder, tax evasion, and what could be viewed as an out right cheat
If done not connected to religion
.
.
" No one held a gun to thier head and made them refuse blood " ____Band on the run
.
.
I disagree
The WTS may not have held a literal gun to the head of thier members
but they had the power to take away all that they hold dear if they accepted blood
.
.
The WTS stated :
" There the eating of blood is eguated with idolitry and fornication, things that we should not want to engage in "____Reasoning from the Scriptures Book page 71
.
.
This is one view that the WTS has not backed away from
they only now suggest that a fraction of that sin is a conscience choice
to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the sheep....... LOL
