It took me a long time to write this...i'm staying.
by MsGrowingGirl20 init took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!
i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.
so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.

to me they really dont preach it is an aggresive magazine campaign but not a true teaching of the bible and christ ask yourself if the bible is indeed gods word and the most important thing to read to attain everlasting life why is it used so little in org? i mean you have saturday which is set aside and recommended as a designated day for what? magazines! not the bible the society has no mandate for a day just one day to be used preaching only with the bible why? ofcoarse you may get a couple liberal c.o.'s who may suggest it on a saturday but from headquarters the gb they dont reuire hmm? why out of all the schools and teaching why dont they teach publishers how to read original greek and hebrew? to be experts in gods life giving word? you study a wtchtwr on sunday sprinkled with bible verses that support what gb beleives you currently in org have no mediator how could anyone in good conscience go to ppls doors bring them to a hall where you can not partake and be in union with christ?they count how many mags and books you place not how many sick you visited orphans you looked after hungry you fed they arent interested in that but im sure god is.you ever think about why you can only count time on people who are not baptized? where in bible does it say if i talked to another believer it is not sacred service? makes no since bible says two three gathered in my name im in their midst!

another interesting tid bit old wchtwr mags have said that prehaps satan as the snake first took a bite of the fruit and them began speaking to show first that he didnt die then as well that it had potential to enlighten one. but compare this tree to the arch of the covenant which rep the presence of god himself! this didnt have a need to be protected more so than a fruit tree that was just a test? their was no cherubs with flaming sword gaurding arch in fact it was carried in a beat wagon even spent time in pagan hands what about punishment for both uzziah touched arch struck dead adam eve touch eat fruit live for another 900years?

The Lawsuit: What Is The Aftermath?
by metatron ini have been reading all these wonderful posts about this huge victory for justice against the sick, evil old men of the watchtower with immense delight!.
that said, i think it well that we should consider what the longer term effects of their defeat will be.. i continue to think that they will be under enormous pressure to discreetly end the circuit overseer arrangement somehow.
there have been many rumors about this but the watchtower is stuck with a real dilemma.

i think of that scripture where jesus said he beheld satan falling from heaven! this is big in bible every defeat of his ppl represented jehovahs disproval of that nation they cant claim loss is insignificant because they brag in all publications about how many court cases they have won! lol from being able to not salute flag preaching on sundays they have even attached prochecies to some of their victories! this is certainly big and i know it will wake up alot of jdubs

a few things i have thought of based on comments whether you believe in jesus or not, first on him being a real man or not according to wtwr doc at jesus baptism he became fully aware of all his prehuman existance so he would have none about himself creating every man woman and child as well as satan! how could this be a real temptation then? and am i to believe a couple loaves of bread, bas jumping off a temple wall and glory of some man made kingdoms is the best satan can offer to get me to sin? and he was aware of the lure of human attraction for he warned even looking at another woman so as to have a passion was a sin when he spoke on covetting. i just dont believe he was therefor not fully tested and if he was it would be grotsq to say least and on his perfection man was created to procreat jesus didnt do that he missed the mark of his design! why did jesus eat meat he was perfect man was created to eat only plant life exception was made afrter noah? again missed mark! of his perfect design just my thoughts

Why did Lazarus Pay for his sins twice?
by criticalwitness inaccording to j dub doc the wages sins pays is death meaning to them death covers your debt of sin when lazarus died did he not pay his debt?
so when jesus resctd him why did he die again?
when jesus brought him back did he creat or recreat an imperfect being on the sinful road to destruction?

yes logical answers to me dont add up to what gb publishes, to the comment no scripture says he dies i give you that but are we to believe everyone in the bible whos death isnt mentioned is still walking amongst us? and i thought about the dieing before jesus but like as mentioned what about the boy falling out the window who paul ressr? and how does one just pass out the ability to bring another human back to life? prehapes the same way we pass on the ability to give life when we have kids ? but where was josephus? what non biblical source documented this coming back to life? i mean thats a big deal? why did jesus crie when he knew he would bring him back or knew was just sleeping just sympathy with family as wchtwr says? and on what basis where all these ppl in bbl brought back to life before christ death? see i think lik paul argued in bible if there is no ressurection things fall apart

me myself and i, sorry if you took qeustion or comments made as an attempt to subvert the faith of some that was not my intention i my be guilty of going off topic but not true apostacy i just find that same thing in my mind that did not allow me to ask qeustions in the org doesnt stop me now! and i will respectfully listen to both sides of the argument and i am geniunly interested in what anyone has to say i mean thomas was a true believer lived and walked with the man and even he had doubts! didnt make him an apostate! if he was son of god and that is one of satans main weapons why didnt he use? if jesus was a true full blooded man as j dubs say would he not have physical desires? then i go on how could be attracted to your kids your creation? if he was not was he really tested? was he really a man?
