  July 4th

  curious to know how many of you are celebrating the birth of a nation whose soldiers have died and continue to die for the purpose of preserving freedom.

  a freedom that allows jehovah's witnesses the right to preach while simultaneously condemning and demonizing the very democracy, country, men and women and legal system that makes their operations possible..

  The imperfections of the elder

  by outsmartthesystem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  outsmart - you keep mentioning the imperfections of the elders....and how people need to overlook them because we are all imperfect and we need to learn what true humility is.....etc etc.

  dj - if this is what you believe to be true, then you are mistaken, because even though jehovah's witnesses are directed by holy spirit, we have at times 'gotten it wrong.

  dj - i can agree that jehovah's witnesses are god's mouthpiece today, that we do speak for god.

  question about the memorial

  by outsmartthesystem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thus far i've read some very compelling arguments regarding the memorial/passover being on nisan 15 and not 14. but i do have a question.

  why does numbers 28:16 seem to indicate plainly that the passover occured on the 14th?

  surely i am missing something, no?

  at this point, the consensus opinion (and i agree) is to not release my 200 page letter to my wife and overwhelm (damn.

  that's a lot of man hours wasted dividing into categories and subdividing into actual handy little chapters).

  many of you suggested talking calmly (perhaps revealing one topic at a time....slowly....leaving lots of time to discuss/reflect/investigate).

  Topic #1 in my letter

  by outsmartthesystem in

  2. beliefs

  disfellowshipping.

  the bible only gives expressly, 7 things that a person may be disfellowshipped for.

  found at 1 corinthians 5:11, they are: anyone that is a fornicator, a greedy person, an idolater, a reviler, a drunkard or an extortioner.
