Considering the fact that you want to help the "apostates" could you please help me. I have a question that one of the elders at my hall won't answere. He wants me to answere his questions first. I feel he is not trying to help me. Maybe you could be gracious and lend me a hand.

Here is the question. I have heard answeres from many "apostates", but would like to hear it from you two.

Is christ a mediator between men and god, or a mediator only between the anointed and god?

Everyone else, your answeres are welcome also.

My mind is still open. Yet I do have the pain the others express in their comments. But I think we can all help each other. We don't need to have a division because of grudges, or differences, or whatever divides us. We are all different, but we are all united (or at least most of us), because we want to know the truth. You feel that you have the truth. That is great! I hope you are happy, and that it works out for you. I really do. There are others on this page that are still searching. They went the wt way and got burned. Some of them because of their actions, others for no reason at all. The society was responsible. Whatever the situation is, we are all here and can learn from each other. That is the unity christ talked about. Love your neighbor. That is what we need to do. We all have a common bond, yet we seem so divided. I hope we can all be civil, and learn something new.

Sue,

You have impressed me very much. You come here and insult us, calling us names, being very rude, acting like you don't want to be here, saying you are not going to post here anymore, and yet I have read numerous posts that you have made on other threads.

I know I no longer wear my wt blinders, or have the spiritual food at the proper time from the faithful slave, so I may not understand, but could you please explain to me(a pitiful apostate, I know), exactly what you want from us?

I thank all of you for your responses to my posting "I need your help"

This posting goes hand in hand with that one.

I recieved this e-mail from an elder today. It seems that his whole personality has changed over the weekend.

-Since you are going to reply to my last note... I thought that I would mention something:
I am saddened if you decide to leave the Christian Congregation. I think about you a lot. I never foresaw this situation arising... probably because I was distracted by this whole business mess. But.. the point that I am trying to get to is... you do not need to feel bad that this situation is troubling to me. I am already "dealing" better with it this week. You have to make your own decisions and I have to accept that.

I -of course- still would like to meet with you. But, again, if that is not what you want, I will -of course- accept that.
Also, always remember that if someday down the road you want to return, you are welcomed. It would make us all very happy. I know it means a better & happier life now -with inner peace-& eternal life in the future for you. You became "a sheep". You can always return (if you indeed decide to leave -which I hope you won't!).

I just wanted to share these thoughts with you.

Sincerely,
xxxxxxx

Any thoughts or advice would be very encouraging. I am curious if he is going to let me fade away. He is still awaiting my response to his last letter. I am trying to stall as some of you had advised me to do.

Thank you again

these are sincere questions directed to any who have first-hand knowledge.. i am new here, so i apologize if #2 is inappropriate for this board.. 1. how was it decided to ban 4 major blood components, rather than all or none?.

2. how is counsel on oral sex applied?

(judicial cases, behind-the-scenes, experiences?).
