What Kingdom Halls do the governing body attend? My guess is they go to private meetings. It is very clear the rules that apply to all JW's do not apply to them. They are above the law. Matthew 23: 8-10, " But YOU , do not YOU be called Rabbi, for one is YOUR teacher, whereas all YOU are brothers. Moreover, do not call anyone YOUR father on earth, for one is YOUR Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called ‘leaders,’ for YOUR Leader is one, the Christ. " (NWT) If we only have one leader, Christ, and ALL the rest of us are "brothers", how do a group of men called the governing body fit into the picture? These men have appointed themselves as "leaders" in the place of Christ Jesus himself. Is not calling someone a governor the same as calling someone a leader?

I agree too Talesin,
All N A T U R A L is the way to go if one can. Weed has a unjust stigma to it and most people who condemn it have never tried it and have no clue about what they believe. It should be legal everywhere. It is a PLANT for Gods sakes! The huge DRUG companies are the ones that don't want N A T U R A L things like W E E D on the legal market.

Do NOT be mislead, False Prophets will not inherit Gods Kingdom yet THAT is what some of you were!
by Greybeard inyes many of us here were false prophets parroting the wts/gb/jworg's false teachings for years.
"new lite" = time ran out... has anyone noticed how the wts keeps quoting genesis 6:3, the scripture on a generation lasting 120 years?
they did it again in yesterdays wt study.

@ Cantleave,
I have no problem with Atheists who respect other peoples beliefs. I can understand why many become Athiest. I was kicked off a forum by Athiests about a year ago or so. I have never kicked anyone off our forum that I can recall. Our forum is not a open free for all anything goes type forum. It is not a place where we allow the promotion of Athiesm to prevail as it does in many forums. Truth is... lately I have not been on our forum much or blogged in a while. I have a special fondness for all who were JW's like myself, including Athiests. I believe God has more respect for Athiests than he does religious hypocrites.
Like most of us, I am still working out what I believe to be true. I have been trying to shed some of my life long religious hypocrisy. I lean twords universal salvation and I believe the Bible supports that. I do not believe the Bible is a infalable book that God has written. I prefer the words in RED by Christ himself. Christ brought a different message, love your enemies etc, etc, etc... I sometimes have a problem with things Paul said that seam to contradict Jesus. Jesus said to have no leader except me. For me, that leaves ALL men out. So far, I have no problem with anything Jesus said or did. I don't think their could be a more perfect example of love than what Christ showed. Calling him names... calling God names and promoting Satan is not something I care to entertain. If it is in my power, it will not happen in my home or on a forum I run. I think people should be able to respect that. I have only been out of the JW's for about 3 years. I have made mistakes on other forums where I was rude in return to Athiests and I did apologise for that a long time ago.
Respectfully,
Greybeard

Thank you Diest for finally answering my question. "Satan is a myth to us, so he has no power." Sounds to me like you are speaking for WTWizzard too. You didn't "hijack" my thread, you answered my question. I have often wondered what hope I have if 1/3 of the "perfect" angels fell away. That is something to think about... I tend to lean twords universal salvation and I believe the Bible supports this. A good website on this subject is here: http://www.hopebeyondhell.net/
I take it you are both athiests?
