2 sisters called today
by stan livedeath inive lived here 7 months now--and today was the 4th time some dubs have called--while i was at home.. they were probably about 60-70.. after i let one do her simple leaflet presentation--i told them i used to be a jw--but left over 40 years ago.
and that i held the watchtower responsible for the break up of my family: and discussed shunning.. but the main thing i wanted to discuss--was the sale of their kingdom hall.
they confirmed a sale was going through.

I personally wonder about those that are woken up before they are ready anyway. Assuming that is even possible. It seems like it could send them down a destructive path. They need to wake up gradually.

Really?
Anything to substantiate that claim?

Why disrupt them? All it will do is re-enforce their persecution complex as Sir82 pointed out.
The fact you are angry enough to cause disruption shows that you are still carrying a lot of baggage from the Org.
Do yourself a favor and try to let it go and live your life. You will be much happier.

"You are my witnesses says Jehovah"
by NikL in"you are my witnesses says jehovah".. this is going to show you how poor my knowledge of the bible has been.. i thought there was a scripture that says the quoted phrase (at least in nwt).
i could swear that i heard it for years quoted in talks.. i went to find it this morning and found nothing of the sort.
am i an anomaly or do any of you remember this as well?.

Completely unrelated to biblical things but, why is this page appearing split up in this way instead of the usual post following post format?

See, that's the thing that gets confusing to me.
Was there a different word used in Hebrew? I mean how would the reader of a scroll in say 100BCE know the difference?

Thanks Blondie.
I was looking for "says" instead of "declares" in the library and it didn't show up.
Which brings up an interesting point (at least for my under educated brain)
“You are my witnesses,”+ declares Jehovah,“Yes, my servant whom I have chosen,+
So that you may know and have faith in me*
And understand that I am the same One.+
Before me no God was formed,
And after me there has been none.+
If there is "no other God before or after", then how is Jesus "A" god as they like to translate John 1:1?
