i'd never thought of it before, but it quickly dawned on me that in general, anyone who claims to have the heavenly hope, never had it at their baptism.

they almost always received their 'calling' after several years as a christian.

Very good question. In the first century was obvious to everyone when someone was baptized in holy spirit. Today I do not know. I ask myself whether I had or I have the holy spirit because I have not felt anything special as an indication that I have received. I wonder if the fact to manifest the fruit that appears in Galatians 5:22,23 is a sign of receiving the holy spirit in our lives.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: Against Such there is no law.

So far I'm still not clear on this.

A Question For the Guys...

by Quendi in

this thread was inspired by the "a question for the ladies..." thread and anybody is welcome to post.. if you are now free and clear of the wts, how have your dress and grooming changed?

i'll start the ball rolling by saying that i made some changes that i really like.

i'm down to two suits and they are only for job interviews and perhaps some solemn occasion.

I let my beard grow well groomed for several months, then only the mustache or shave my face completely. I feel free to shave when I want. I put away my suits in a trunk and now I only wear jeans. No more ties or suits for me. I feel freeeeeeee!!!!!

The letters were provided in a blog in Spanish called "El lado comico de la Watchtower". So far it has been a very reliable blog. I do not know the reason they have not used letterhead.
