WTS claims it is worship of the creation rather than the creator. I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone who uses Fathers or Mothers day to worship their parents. Rather it is to honor them. (See Deuteronomy 5:16)

Yeah, at this point won't the "door to the ark" already be closed? The magazines are probably just to say 'Told ya so!'. Those priests in front must be pretty dumb, they don't even seem to realize that they are standing on the San Andreas Fault. What a silly place to have a church function!

Matrix (apprently you are stuck in one and don't know it!):
Did you even read the letter? Mr. Bowen showed up at his JC with witnesses from far away and the elders STOOD HIM UP!
Let's try to gather some facts before pointing a finger. (Luke 6:42)
And wait... wasn't it Satan who told Jesus to put God to the test? What did Jesus say in return? Read Matthew Chapter 4 verses 1-7.

Cases like this one are priceless. Knowledge is power, and the more people realize they have rights, the less likely they will allow themselves to be bullied by elders who think they have complete control and rule. The elders laughed at me in my face when they DF'd me - and it seems that they are not exactly dealing with Mr. Bowen in a "spirit of mildness".

I felt that there was an ‘us’ and ‘them’ situation. Everybody outside the organisation isn’t ‘saved’, isn’t ‘enlightened’.
Hmm.... Where have I heard that before....

Q for Everybody, So let me get this str
by Legendary U.2.K. innobody here wants to lived in the new earth aka the coming earthly paradise?
nothing in the bible is symbolic, because saying things that are symbolic in the bible, is like calling jehovah a liar, god would not write something like in the bible, then out of no where, it really means something else... example: 144,000, some people said's that's symbolic, lol yea right.... .
anyway it seems like no one here wants to lived in the new earth, my question is why?

U.2.K:
Remember the post when you said it was going to be your last post? Why did you lie? Do you know who the father of the lie is?
Jesus says in Matthew 5:37 to "Just let YOUR word Yes mean Yes, YOUR No, No; for what is in excess of these is from the wicked one."
Why are you being wicked? Do you really want to reject Jesus and his admonition to you?

Broken down it looks like this:
...we will do what we know is best, regarding (Grandpa's) funeral.
'...it doesn't matter how much pain I will cause my Mother or my FLESHLY family. The Watchtower says we can't go.'
(Son), we learned through many personal experiences & the many experiences of others,
'of course no one is allowed to share and experience if it isn't UPBUILDING'that upholding Jehovah's Principles always works out for the better. We have clean consciences, & true joy in knowing that we haven't violated those Principles.
'I'm afraid of losing my status as an elder'Mom & I can only try our best to follow our Bible-trained consciences, despite our imperfections.
'See how humble we are? Please piss on us, Watchtower, we love it.'When we do Jehovah's will, it makes his heart glad, too, & that is even more important than our own feelings of victory.
'We win! You lose!'I know that it is hard for you to understand at this stage in your life,
'just in case I didn't make it clear that I'm talking down to you'but Jehovah has been very good to us, and even promises us a better future, despite the joy we have right now.
'we are so happy because we are able to ignore you and your sister and don't have to worry about any of your problems anymore...all with a clean conscience!'it is beyond compare
'And really, what do we have to compare it to?'
