one of the accusations against christ that some people make to me from time to time is that christ never spoke out against slavery, and so he must condone it.. i would submit that slavery (the forcible enslaving of your fellow man)... is not the root problem.
it is merely a symptom of the root problem.
christ came to deal with the root.
Is not Love slavery?
the two go hand in hand, thats how religons worldwide have power and control peolle, love of christ becomes the slavery they lost, but the two are one.
nothing has changed, just the way people are brainwashed into doing what others want of them.
acts 6:9 "but certain men rose up of those from the so-called synagogue of the freedman"..
I believe the OP simply asked a question.... didn't they?... why the smart self righteous replies?
It amazes me how nasty and attacking replies tend to be when one asks a question, rather sad isnt it?
why can you not simply make a nice non personal reply?.
Simon how about booting some of these people as they tend to destroy reasonable questions and certainly deter anything being asked by anyone in the future.. after all who wants a nasty reply, is that what this site is about?
replies start with:
you're frickin nuts. from WMF. nice mate, you got a way with words!
In all seriousness, EndOfMysteries... get some professional help, man. Mental illness is no thing to play around with. from FENCE
to LEOLA loosing the plot with rosebud,
By golly! Rosebud...that's it! But what's it mean? There must be a deep, secret meaning to this enigma....let's round up all the usual suspects and see if they might help crack this mystery! Rosebud.....Rosebud....let's get on it! We might have a scoop before the other rags go to press....
get a grip eh,,
the relative who called me and told me that said it was a good thing.

cedars.
Cedars, majority of thes enoise makers are there for a reason, to disrupt and cause argumentation,
They were never JW's, have little idea of the religion and are very happy to get good people upset.
Mods shoud have a clean out...

That is the key Cedars,, WHY OFFER PATTERSON,,,
it sort of reminds me of the Jesuits and their underhanded tactics...
not christ like at all.
giving false testimony (Exodus 20:16) or claiming something when it is in fact not the case, misleading testimony,,,
Another reason why Jehovah has been rejecting these apostates.
Romans 12:17, the Bible tells us, "Do not repay anyone evil for evil." Instead, "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse" (Romans 12:14)
Wouldnt it be nice if they apoligised to Candice and paid the money causing no further agrevation to her hurting.
That surely would be the Christ like way of doing things!
we all saw this coming - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jw-lawsuits/latest-candace-conti-news/.
Is that how Christ would do things?
I seriously doubt it is
Even the Cathloic church fonts up to this sort of thing much better than the WTBS.
I would love to know what it is the legal team are thinking.
I see recently in Melbourne Austrailia the Cathloic church made a report to the child comission about how many children were abused from way back, coming clean so to speak, and astounding number.
Time the WT came clean
u.s. district court.
central district of california.
southern division.
I would say the person suing him probably needs a good slapping
a reality check in life
instead of suing obama devote some energies to saving the whales! lol...
jesus' parousia started in 1975, governing body selected as faithful and discreet slave and evil slave dealt with by 1980, armageddon arrives in 2015?.
it seems to me that some new light needs to be generated if the governing body (gb) of jws is to be considered as the faithful and discreet slave (fds).. .
(a) gb needs to be around as an entity when selected by jesus during his parousia.
october is always the month to beware of,, lol
remember noah, preaher for forty years,,,, it just gets better
but the jews also place signifance of 2015 as the end of the 70 weeks
or just maybe the POPE is the true FDS,,,

wouldnt that be a laugh.......
i heard a story and wanted to get some follow up.
did anyone hear the same?.
supposedly at a mutual friends funeral (i dont know who) ray "supposedly spat" on karl kline for not talking to him after ray was df'd?.
The organisation is a rumor mill, it pumps out the lastest and greatest gossip daily emailed worldwide to a chain reaction of so called true faithful.
this group pride themselves in being the elites,, you dont just join it it takes special invites and bonding over years.
If a rumor is spread via this channel it travels unquestioned in hours worldwide.
I remember when the Franz issue came, it was spread around that he had been putting in false trinity teachings and misleading informations into the study articules,
Elders at the time made comments about how some things in study articules were not sounding right, I wondered at the time hwo this could be that one man could change so many things, but when asked which things were not right never a reply came.
trust in jehovah he always finds out and cleans his organisation is the answer...
THATS A JOKE!...
i believe that a coup is one of the governing body's worst nightmares.. imagine a splinter group led by anointed ones that draw off enough of a following to cause confusion about who is directing the organization.. this may be one of the reasons the governing body removed the special status of the anointed and placed it on an organizational arrangement that they just happen to occupy.. the irony is that this action is a coup in itself.
by declaring themselves leaders in complete control of the organization, they have created a rival group composed of those who disagree.
these people have no obligation to follow these newly self appointed leaders.
notice they head their letters to the society with Christain Way
ex christian scientist members, hardly anointed of Jehovahs witnesses...
more than likely why the GB never bothers to rely to them... lol
