the law covenant was a 'shadow' of the better covenant to come.
everyone at sinai agreed to, and was part of that covenant - no exceptions!
it was not just for the priesthood.
I think they came together often to remember everything about Jesus person, his teaching and example, the bread and wine were excellent aide memoirs when taken as Paul commanded, in a respectful, spiritual, way.
TOTALLY agree with you!! I can't understand how a person can be a Christian and not be anointed . IMHO, t he two are inseparable , if you are a Christian then you are anointed .
i am getting so tired of my co-worker who is a "evangelical christian" constantly making racist slurs towards hispanic people.
i just don't get it and it is making me very uncomfortable because i wonder what he says about "black" people behind my back.
everyday he makes comments such as "mexicans" are dumb and stupid, "mexicans all can't speak good english", "mexicans have 50 million babies" and "mexicans are all on welfare".
why identify your co-worker as a Christian? Are you attempting to paint all evangelicals with the same brush?
JeffT, That's not the issue here because it is the same person who has proclaimed himself as Christian .
Booker -T what you describe definitely could be described as a hostile work environment and you have every right to complain .

bcat, looks like jesus is not michael.
i just shared this with new member "lost".
if this is correct it's another big eye opener for the jw r&f.
About wars Jesus never said that wars would be a signal of the end. On the contrary, he warned us not to be deceived for these things.
New International Version (NIV)
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
The WT has done the opposite , took the War of 1914 as a sign of the end and deceived many and is still deceiving .
i had a very nice conversation with a christian man the other day.
it was so nice to speak to someone without fear.
i really just started unloading my burdens upon this man, and he was just awesome.
This is the type of post that strengthens my faith and helps me keep going. thanks
any of you have access to the watchtower magazine from march 1, 1953?.
it is true that the wt acknowledges in that magazine page 143 that you don't need to belong to any church or organization?
i will appreciate if you can post that declaration.
Thanks a lot Cedars!!!

do not look for excuses to associate with a disfellowshipped family member, for example, through e-mail.
- w2013 1/15, p. 16, para.
in the congregation i attend, no one--and i mean no one--commented on the directive to not communicate with df'd family members by email.
I'm from Puerto Rico and culturally family ties are very strong and important. We like to do everything as a family. Maybe that's why the WT was more emphatic in Spanish.
i was contemplating this verse this morning... what did james mean by "works"?
and it hit me like a bolt of lightning.. now, wts would have us believe these "works" are preaching and meetings.
however, could that be what james was referring to?
We can have an idea of some of those works.
New International Version (NIV)
15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
