  i know we were taught to study all the wts stuff.

  prepare for each meeting, prepare for service, (gotta know the articles) etc.

  i mean with all the personal study to do, how could anyone have time for newspapers, novels etc.

  Ken. P said "I had to study all my free time, I was the WT study conductor, mininstry school servant, book study conductor, and PO all at the same time. I also had to have a part on the SM every week and assign all the other ones out. I had to give the memorial talk, and give many of the Sunday talks locally and out of town about once every month or two. "

  Ken. P
  What a job you did. Think how bad it could have been if you had been a brown_noseing_control_freek. They would have probably let you do the books and make all the contributions to.

  Time to lighten up as in...... see the light.
  Jesus said do this in rememberance of me he was talking to all christians and that means anyone on this site that is a believer in Christ. To deny that the bread and wine should be partaken of by anyone or by any class of anyones is another case of manmade rules and manmade thinking.

  "As for me and my household we are all going over to the KH next year and drink and eat."
  Hope they have enough.

  Can't you just see it now. 10 or 20 thousand apostates attending the memorial and partaking. That would really screw up their yearbook report.

  i only post here under one name, refiners fire.. i only use that name on one webite, this one, any one posting as refiner on any other website is not me.

  not that its important, but i just thought id state this formally.

  those who want to be offended by the comments of "refiners fire" at other websites will have to be so, unfortunately.

  quoted "There is no act by itself that can be classed outside the bounds of love"

  Zechariah;
  What you say here is one of the main teaching of Budda. You may be happier and feel more validated by joining with others of that faith.

  If you have any addictions then you are a slave.
  I hope you find piece and freedom

  You said quote: My awareness is now keen that there is both no way nor any requirement for us to do anything of our own power to gain a right relationship with God (salvation).

  I am sure there are at least 100 million rapest, child molesters, murderers and snipers, who would misunderstand what you are trying to say.

  When the WT wanted to buy the Squibb building they came, hat in hand, and asked for money. Even though their letter asked for loans it was asking for money none the less. I should have known they were just another business back then.

  JT "I gave those cock-suckers two years of convicted felon work"

  I had a neighbor who was a "cock-sacker" he slept all day and spent the nights taking chickens to the slaughter house. Funny job.

  On a different note were you at Lom Poc?

  Arrogance Beyond Belief

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all down through history, men and women have stepped forward and proclaimed that they clearly understand bible prophecy.

  they've all been wrong.

  that's supreme arrogance.. but in the last one hundred years, men of the watchtower have stepped forward and proclaimed that they not only clearly understand bible prophecy, but that they themselves clearly are bible prophecy being unfolded.. they are the latter day fulfillment of noah, abraham, moses, elijah, elisha, ruth, esther, naomi, isaiah, jeremiah, ezekiel, nahum, zephaniah, habukkuk, zechariah, john the baptist, the apostle john and the good parts of the revelation.

  I could always use my favorite term here to describe them. What would you call them, given their claim and given the facts that their claims are always wrong?

  How do you spell "Fart in the Wind"
