  ... in case the u.k. charities commission summons them - like the australian royal commission snared mr. jackson?

  why else would they be sending two of their personal boot-lickers?.

  Welcome BarelyThere. I hope you can find comfort/companionship here via the freedom to discuss anything you feel like talking about - unlike the situation within the "spiritual paradise!"

  No more reporting time for field service!!!

  so at last i am in my next step of my fade, this month is the first month i did not turned in any hours.

  i received a text from our group leader an ms & i told him i didn't have any to report, then of course it got bumped up to the elder & i text him back i have no hours to report for december.

  i came to this decision when reading many posters here about the yearbook stats, i do not want & refused to contribute to this organization "boosting" numbers for their glorious purposes, after the rc in australia they do not deserve for me to give them a "production" report of what i do for god, no more.

  Who resurrected Jesus?

  by lumberjack in

  ideas?

  One possible explanation:

  (John 2:19) "All right," Jesus replied. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (NLT)

  (Ephesians 2:21) "...in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.."

  Jesus had spent the previous three years establishing a spiritual arrangement concerning the New Covenant which he was about to validate with his death. When he died, (the cornerstone - Eph. 2:21) his followers (the "temple") were distraught and dispersed, but on his resurrection, Jesus had them regroup with an even stronger zeal than before. Hence his reason for saying that he would "raise it up" (Gr.egeirō - "to cause to appear, bring before the public")

  i was a member of this community a long time ago and have lurked for years.

  well, i am back and still thoroughly conflicted, with my heart/loyalties as divided as ever.

  please welcome me back, hear me out, and make me feel as welcomed as before.. the wtbts has changed so very much in recent years that i feel trapped in a completely different religion altogether.

  Hey DY, nice to have you join us here. Many of us are in the same type of situation as your own, so we are your empathetic "brothers & sisters". Each of us walks at our own pace.

  The important thing is that we are on the road, then we can perhaps help others to join us.

  Galling Meeting Today! Truly Nauseating!

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  first scripture used by the public speaker was jeremiah 31:34 - "and they will no more teach each one his companion and each one his brother, saying, know jehovah!

  for they will all of them know me, from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them, is the utterance of jehovah.

  for i shall forgive their error, and their sin i shall remember no more.immediately, i was distracted.

  Oh, If Only You Poor Bethelites Had................

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower

  ........obeyed the scriptures you know so well, instead of trying to worship "god's corporation".. (ecclesiastes 5:5) "better for you not to vow than to vow and not pay.".

  the corporation is now giving many of you what you agreed to - a life of real poverty!.

  your poverty outside of bethel is a wee bit different from the poverty in "satan's world" - where you've just been thrown to fend for yourselves.
