Why are you "stepping DOWN"? If MS or Elder is a servant to the R&F - then aren't you stepping UP?
Kinda an oxymoron huh?

New Light and the UN
by individual inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?d=9882&site=3#117571.
the link above is from a thread in bible reseach posted by bible examiner last month concerning impending new light on the 'disgusting thing standing in a holy place' and how it is no longer going to be the un but has had its fulfillment completely in the first century.
this apparently was from a talk given by a circuit overseer.. why this is interesting is because, at the time the information concerning the un and the wt was not widely known on this site.

Your friend is misled. He makes a case based upon prgmatism.
This issue does not concern itself with pragmatism. If pragmatism is a valid excuse then why couldn't the brothers in the 2nd world war sign the form of release? They could have then done much more preaching work!! Why didn't the brothers in Malawi agree to the registration cards? It would have allowed them to do more preaching?
gimme a break!!!

Why is it that whenever there is a surplus at assemblies(at the end) they send it to the society? Then next assembly they run short and make an announcement and everyone gives to them...
Then they send that surplus to the society again...
I used to get so pissed off that steam would come out of my ears!!

Hawk,
I told him to call the UN. He said he will take the other route and ask Bethel to clarify it for him. I will let you know.

No credit is due to me - it is due to Hawk and Dung Beetle and Mac. They have worked very hard and used many resources on this.
I am totally a beneficiary of their efforts.

So, who REALLY were/are the "Nephilim"?
by AGuest inmay you all have peace!.
once again, i have received a 'writing' on my heart, which i am directed to share with any and all who will 'receive' it.. for many years, the wtbts and others have taught the "nephilim" to be the offspring of angels who had relations with the daughters of men, half-breed beings that wreaked havoc in a violent way in the earth during the days of noah, just prior to the flood.
that, dear ones... is an error... and a lie.. by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, that is in me by means of christ, i say to you that the "nephilim"... are spirit creatures, ancient beings... 'of old'... princes from the spirit realm, the 'wicked spirit forces'... that came to the earth to 'fell' earthling man in the days of noah.. these being are those that i saw standing to the left of my father's throne, shrouded in darkness, and 'egging' on the 'battle' between to the two brilliant cherubs on the ark, the 'arkangels', which i related to you previously on h20.

Andy,
Ask him if he believes the society lied when they agreed to the TERMS of association then....
That's the same as saying individual dubs can register with the local catholic church if it makes them more effective in their ministry because they will be regarded as more mainstream.
Or it is like a dub attenting the Christmas party in their community - because it will make them seem more palatable as a JW and their message will be better received.
How many more similar lines of reasoning do they want? We can come up with them all day.
