Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator? Watchtower's Position is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit!
by RottenRiley in

2. p. 363; emphasis added) .

(ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.

RR ..it boggles the mind really... if you ask a jw

to explain this to you ......whooo do they get upset!

Seems most don't even know!

They also never talk to you again.

Crmsicl ....hi ...my reaction too.

I love you's" comes off kind of phoney.

I would skip that in the future and also agree about

keeping Rick Ferron out of it. JWfacts is a much better choice.

Really like Marc & Cora and think they are genuine but

many people are quite jaded about the love (bombing) thing.

The New Diary of Winston Smith

we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

Hello again Winston.... happy for you & your wife,

being just normal is really so fantastic!

All the best.

So true Problemaddict, we all have different circumstances.

Very glad that you are able to feel sucessful & happy where you are.

*

Can't remember if you are male, but I tend to think men are more

successful working from the inside, simply by 'carrying more weight'

so to speak. Mostly, older females are just brushed aside and not

taken seriously!

*

I will not withdraw either...to DA or recognize a DFing.

*

I realize that the great gb won't read my words, not many

elders either, but what about the many dubs who are half in

and half out, who will get copies, what will be the effect of seeing

someone stand up......reading it in the local papers?

What if more suddenly stood up?

*

Note: Baptism Date should read 1964.... not 1985.

Alonein321...welcome to this place where you will

find support, a lot of wisdom and great advice!

sarahsmiles really gets to the raw emotions of this

process of waking up. Wise words.

Slow down, there is no hurry.

Do not let this organization destroy your marriage!!!!!

Hang on.

Treat your wife like you are still dating...you do remember?

Forget telling her anything. You may ask simple questions.

Start again to have some FUN. Miss meetings, go away on

the weekends. remember when you were a kid.......and

just acted natural? Do that!

Free-wheeling on here is like letting go of the strings

of a thousand helium balloons ....... letting it all go into

the universe.

Notes in a bottle ...carried by the lapping waves.

Sincerely thank you to all those who care to look

in the bottles & read the notes.

Without you...well, you know...it's like "if you clap your hands

and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?"

Over the years thank you & just now thanks to

"One way to imitate Jehovah is to adopt his viewpoint regarding matters.

Oh ya ...... adopt his viewpoint ...hmmm let's see now,

David murdered Bathsheba's husband to cover up the fact

that David screwed around with her & now ta da ...she was preggers!

*

But ..... it is all good, David was still a man precious to J's heart,

soooo J just killed the little kid to teach some sort of lesson & that

made David A OK!

But ...this only works IF you keep being happyfied

and don't say anything about .....a n y t h i n g !
