  "It is BECAUSE I value Truth and Honesty that I have chosen to no longer attend"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. experiences

  yes, i used that line when questioned by someone as to why we no longer attend.. it needs to be used calmly and without any arrogance.

  then this direct, yet simple comment can't help but make the person think!.

  I'm prepared to say to any potential inquisitors, "My conscience dictates that I accept

  Bible truth over literature truth."

  If any J.W. wants to assert that they are one and the same, I'll be very willing to discuss the matter with them.

  "...and show to WATCH TOWER SOCIETY the real christian Passover!"

  You mean the WTBTS's "black memorial" devised by the marginalised Charles Taze Russell?

  It was called the "Lord's evening meal" or "last supper" for a pretty obvious reason.
  

  1 Corinthians 11:21 confirms that Christ's memorial wasn't just a nibble of dry bread and a sip of wine; "For when you eat it, each one takes his own evening meal beforehand...."

  Thanks SBF - I'll keep that in mind.

  Thanks for the correction Richard - I was eager to share the good news!
  

  On page 20:

  "Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well. Why? Because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if people . . . are discouraged from thinking critically.”"

  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

  Does the WTBTS Writing Committee ever think critically?

  Thanks for the minus. I'll take it as a compliment.

  I'm only accurately quoting the "faithful slave's" directive to stick to the org - no matter what disgusting things the media reveals in the coming months!

  "what man among you with 100 sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the 99 behind in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?

  " - luke 15:4. disclaimer: by posting the following observations i am not complaining.

  i am happy to be left alone.

  Doubtfull - some of the realities we faced when we left the org are hurtful, but the blessings often far outweigh what initially hurt us. I wish you and yours greater contentment in your new life.

  "A friend [when you are] in need, is a friend indeed!"

  A J.W. when in need, becomes a troublesome liability - one to be avoided at all costs.

  In every congregation I've attended, it was the same scenario.

  So much for the hallmark of true Christians! (John 13:35)

  Considering the huge political problems which the Kremlin has on its plate, does anyone know the motive & who is behind this campaign to liquidate this apparently inconsequential cult in Russia? Who will gain from it?

  Maybe Putin has more intel about the POTUS's son-in-law's dealings with the WTBTS than we do! :)
