i wondered about this as the song by brian adams played....what do you do/say/act if you really love someone.. .
edited to add: - i ask because some are so idealistic about it and think it's all fairytale stuff.
others are cynical..
There is no "if's".

i mean can someone, preferably an active jw, explain in 5 sentences or less what that really means?.
i ask because of the long post that "20571..." made on another thread about how "the truth" is better than this, that and the other thing.. what does it really mean?.
Simple, don't lie!
i'm thinking way outside the box here.... i looked up my thread title before starting this thread and guess what??.
no one appears to have ever considered this question before.... i've seen far, far, far too many people of european/british isles/african/american extraction defending this regional middle-eastern 'god', without realizing that their ancestors would never have willingly consented to give up their own deities to worship this interloper thrust upon them, usually at the point of a roman sword... or occasionally for trading advantages, as in the case of many of the heathen viking - norsemen.... so.
what if the bible had never existed?.
IF? Lets keep it at that.

I'm from the old school of witnesses. No one should think that what's happening in weather conditions is new or wasn't happening before. What Jesus was talking about was CONDITIONS on a GLOBAL scale, not locally.

july 11, 2011 will be 34 years since i was baptised as one of jw's.
the sleeping pill i took was in the form of them providing the information that made the bible come alive with the truth and insisting that they go by the bible not adding or taking away from it.
i had negative experiences from local brothers from time to time, however i excused them as part of being imperfect.
Alg1052, great post! You hit many areas that should make others sit up and take notice. You sent la letter with scriptural arguments to the org, and they ignored your concerns and scriptural arguments. I did what you did and I was stunned when I received their rely, it was only two sentences in length and they call this our mother org! They never focused on my concerns or what I had to say. Thier policy has not changed. Hang in there, I'm more than twice your age. Keep posting, you have many good ideas.
