so you dont have to say it.
could you please bear with me for a second here.. this organisation cant be all bad even though overall it is.. .
most of you may reluctantly hold the opinion that every thing the watchtower currently teaches isnt all bad so could you please give your honest opinions as to what you think is good about the org.. so what is there that can be said about it and its teachings that is good.. especially about prophecy.

have any of you read the finished mystery that was written in 1917?
it was started by russell and completed by rutherford who published it.
i am half way through the book and have skimmed through the majority of it.. rutherford either had to be drunk or crazy when he wrote that pitiful interpretation of revelations.
You Know,
What proof did those who were intoxicated, "and not with wine" have that they were speaking from Jehovah?
Their words came true!!!!! Sorry guy, your boys must have been full of the real stuff.
If you must defend a person, make sure that he is telling the "truth."

You guys are right. I looked in the proclaimers book and it gave the credits for the Finished Mystery to 2 men other than Rutherford and Russel. They must have been high or crazy too.
I printed the copy that I have now from "The News and Observer"; the 75,000 Edition. I went to one of the sites that was selling copies of the originals for just under one thousand dollars, U.S. currency. That is a little steep for me. I trust the copies that Kent have on his site to be pretty accurate.

Rutherford either had to be drunk or crazy when he wrote that pitiful interpretation of Revelations. Where did he get his interpretation from? I wish that he could be resurrected right now and made to go from door to door with that craziness. No wonder the boys in New York stopped printing it. It is exactly false prophesy.
I can see why the book was banned. It is full of slander and lies, directed toward certain people and organizations.

we have a thread that asks why we became jw's, so i became curious as to why some of us have left.
what was the last straw for you?.
mine was the treatment of my wife.
When they disfellowshipped my child my eyes lost the blinders. Thank God.
I have a question. Why are the words that are used to kick sombody out of a religion so long? Disfellowshipped; Excommunicated; Disassociated;

they were discussing sodom and gomorah and how if jah had found a few righteous men in that city, both cities would be spared.
not a one was found.
however, they mention jah protected lot and his daughters, as they were faithful and living nearby.
The Ammonites and Moabites were descendants of Lot. Their origin needed to be revealed. The Bible doesn’t seem to tell all of the good stuff and leave out the bad.

i'm not a jw, but it is my understanding that jw's don't believe in an immortal soul that passes on after the body dies...that when a person dies, they 'sleep' until called forth in the resurrection if they were found worthy.
is that correct?
if so, what do they think of the numerous documented near-death experiences over the centuries?
The demons were playing mind games with you.
legal suggestion when facing elders .
there have been a number of posts stating that the elders have called and requested a meeting.
i guess that either there is a full moon out, or the society has been putting the bug up the elder's rectal orfice to chase down less than active jws.
Why should we give them so much power?
the controversy regarding the future is my no means confined to apostate dubs and jehovah's witnesses.
many other than "bible thumpers" can see big trouble looming just around the next bend.
of course they are ridiculed too by those with opposing views.
I thought that Russel and Rutherford died. Has the resurrection begun?

hello room,.
websters new world dictionary defines apostate as one who have abandoned their faith.
that definition does not describe me.
Thanks for the input.
