I can honestly say, "nope". Don't follow any of these guys. Although I have seen them from time to time. I love those guys who claim to speak with the dead. They ask a million questions, until they finally get close to any semblance of truth.

you accept some of these people as an authority.
you listen to them.

i think crystal did much better than lee as far as performances in the finale.
also think she is much more talented.
lee is a great singer and will only get better the more comfortable he gets going big time.
American what?
i hope i'm coherent here as i have a question.
from what i read somewhere in the numerous ex-jw publications, the majority of the bible students who followed c. t. russell were appalled by the changes that rutherford forcefully imposed and they refused to follow rutherford.
because rutherford was president of the corporation, the bible students could not keep the names of the watchtower and the ibs but left the organization under rutherford and have continued to this day, following russell's teachings, and still calling themselves the bible students.
We also have to remember that Russell was a household name in those days, everyone knew of him. He was the Billy Graham of his day. The Judgesed that to his advantage. Even after all the chnages, people just associated the Watchtower with Russell. The Judge woould start BIble studies using Russell's wriytings, once these people got sucked in, he would do the switcharoo with one of his books and introduced new light.
Many of thodse Bible Students who did stay, were pretty nominal to say the least, or there were power hungry elders who didn't agree with Russell anyways.

the only reason i have not da'd is because my mom asked me not to.
i fully expect her funeral to be the last time i set foot in a kingdom hall (assuming i can't manage to convince enough of the family to do a secular funeral).
i will thereafter become an active and aggressive member of the "vast apostate army.".
My mom died tow years ago, I'm waiting for the old man to go, he's 83. We were not a close family, and sad to sayif any of my siblings passed away, I could care less.

*** g96 2/8 p. 6 to trust or not to trust ***.
the bible gives some good advice on this matter.
anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, says proverbs 14:15. this is not destructive cynicism.
Ain't that the truth awildflower. It amazes me how the Society condemns the very things they themselves are guilty of.

What can you do? The Bible gives some good advice on this matter. “Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word,” says Proverbs 14:15. This is not destructive cynicism. It is a realistic reminder of the need for caution. Only a very naive, inexperienced person is going to trust blindly every word he hears. With good reason the Bible proverb continues: “But the shrewd one considers his steps.” English playwright William Shakespeare wrote: “Trust not to rotten planks.” Anyone who thinks that the planks on a bridge over a deep drop may be rotten would be very foolish to step on them. How, then, can you ‘consider your steps’ so that you do not misplace your trust?
The Bible encourages us to test out what people say rather than just blindly accept everything we hear. “The ear itself makes a test of words, just as the palate tastes when eating,” it says. (Job 34:3) Isn’t that true? Don’t we usually taste food before we swallow it? We should also make a test of people’s words and actions before we swallow them. No one who is genuine will take offense if we check his credentials. That we should check to see that something is genuine is supported by the Scottish proverb that says: “He that deceives me once, shame fall him; if he deceives me twice, shame fall me.”
The apostle Paul advised: “Put all things to the test.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, Today’s English Version) The word used by the apostle Paul for “test” was also used in connection with testing precious metals to see if they were genuine. A prudent person always tested to see if what he was buying was genuine. Otherwise he might have ended up with what was called fool’s gold—something that looked like gold but that was, in fact, worthless.

has anyone ever felt the presence of demons in the past?a lot of jws have told me that they had or got beaten,heard voices,whispers etc.is it true?.
I find it amusing when people say "there are things we can't explain..." and then "explain" those things by saying "..so they must have been caused by demons."
Oh, you mean like the Trinity doctrine
Like the Watchtower,
I DENY: the Trinity, Hellfire, Immortal Soul
I ACCEPT: Two salvations, one heavenly, one earthly (but do not limit heaven to 144,000), the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures
