Submission to authority
by joelbear inone of the core beliefs that i hold is that the only hope for humanity is the willingness to submit to some guiding force.. witnesses would point to jehovah as being that guiding force.. as of now, i would point to love for others being that guiding force.
one of the main differences i have with the witnesses is that they see god as a person with a personality and a planned agenda.
i see god as a mindset that we either choose to be part of or not based on our willingness to submit to this idea of loving others.. are you willing to submit to any authority, whether an actual identity or an ideology?

there is a lot more to read.. on 28 january 1992, the government of cuba sent its comments regarding the above-mentioned communication transmitted to it by the special rapporteur:.
"first of all, i wish to inform you that in cuba no individual or groups of individuals are persecuted or harassed for professing the religious belief of their choice, that religion is practised freely in our country and that religious texts are accessible to those who desire them.

by sleepy inyes imagine if after all the struggle and effort to break fee of jehovahs witnesses it turnred out that they were right all along.. the governing body were getting messages from god and were being used by him , proof came out that evolution was false.they found noahs ark and ancient manuscrips were found that proved the bible true.. also lasurus was still alive and well living in siberia.. the next thing we know religon has been banned.. there are signs in the sky and strange phenomenon.. we look up and see the moon turned to blood and the sign of the son of man appears in the heavens.. next to him is a flying pig.. we realise pigs don't fly .. we wake up sweating.. it was all a dream.. releaved its all over we get up for a new day.. we open the curtains, allwe can see is fire and brimstone.. we hear screams of tourture.. satan laughs.

Limiting our potential
by TR inthis is a quote from pathofthorns on that really long thread with several different topics.
i liked it so much that i thought to start a new thread about it.. instead of "hanging in" for the "end" to come, enjoy doing what you can to change things now in your life for the better.
do what you can and what you need to to be happy, and when the "end" comes, you'll have made the wait so much better in the meantime.. the society has oft told us that pursuing activities of charity other than the preaching of the good news(their version only)is a waste of time since it is not leading people to god's organization, and thus to god's kingdom.

Defining what or who the "Society" re...
by Pathofthorns ina post on h20 raised interesting questions regarding "the society", and one of the responses i found particularly interesting.. i don't think many witnesses actually understand what or who exactly the "society" is, they just know its some authority that they must listen to, on par with god.
when people reply that it is simply the legal entity used by jehovah's witnesses to further the word of god, the average witness knows there is much more to this in reality.. [url] http://www.cyberpass.net/~h2o/wwwboard/messages/295948.html[/url].
