Hi Ray!
you know how you sometimes you are going about your day and then an idea hits you?
you say to yourself, " what a great idea!!".
then you think to yourself that maybe it isn't so great?
EE,
You are saying that even if...IF I do this that it is a no win with the Elders because they follow the Borg leaders. I get that. I would be gambling on the chance that it may wake up some of my family members. I know the house always wins. If I was DF'd I could say that I will never come back unless I get a written apology...LOL!!! Then will say that I am prideful. I really don't give a hoot in hell about them. Well, that's not true. I wish they would change. Odds are they won't. I am mostly thinking of my family. Maybe the wiser course would be to print off everything that I can on the FDS subject and have a special Family Worship night? I can cover all the errors without attacking the Slave, just show the fallibility of humans. Then I can say that a 1900 year old slave is impossible. It's a toss-up. My wife could turn me in anyway....hmmmmm.

This upcoming Saturday is the first Saturday of the month. So since I am fading I will go out, to ease into obscurity, right? Well, what if I purposely work with an Elder and talk all day about how I cannot Scripturally accept the FDS " class " teaching? I will come clean about ALL my research and say that there is NO WAY that the " Slave " can be 1900+ years old! If they say that I am rushing ahead of Jehovah, I will refuse to let the matter drop, and continue to say that it just can not be true! I will likely be called into a meeting at some point, and I will state my beliefs based on scripture. I could get DF'd, but then what? What happens a few months down the road when the new light breaks? Would this wake my wife up? Would it show the hypocrisy of the organization to her? What if I am not DF'd? They already know my beliefs about partaking based on what the Bible says. ( whether you believe or not is not important, but what they believe is) So then they are are really going to wonder what to think of me.....
I don't know. This seems like a golden opportunity, even though it is ballsy, brazen if you will. I get a little crazy around a full moon, so this could be just that, crazy talk. What do you think?
a long time ago the jw's published a book called "humans in search of god" (translation of the dutch version so i am sorry if the title is not totally correct).
i always remembered one sick drawing in it and it always made me wonder how this drawing could be used in one of their books.. .
warning: can be shocking to people who never saw it before!.
I remember it, There is a High Priest who just cut a guys heart out. The priest is holding the heart aloft. The victims is grey colored because of blood loss, and blood is running down the alter and the steps. It is a great bedtime story!
below is a statement from gb member gerrit losch.
notice what is said about the fds.
is this true?
Good point OldHippie. Patience.... I can see why they don't want the rank-and-file to study Hebrew and Greek, there goes being united in one line of thought/conformity. We will see what is written in the near future.
does anyone remember a wt article a couple of months ago that was criticizing " constantly adjusting" doctrine?
i have not located it yet.
i am trying to put together a paper on all the adjustments made by the wtbts, and thier views of their own adjustments vs other religions.
Thanks! That might be the one! Do you remember a thread that listed WT quotes about NOT trusting men? I saw it within the last week, I think....

Sorry, I hit enter....
A couple of days ago someone posted some actual WT quotes as to why it is unwise to trust men. I am having trouble finding it. I will keep looking, but I thought I would ask about it as well. Thanks in advance.
