Pterist: "a s we find pasture and seasons of refreshment in Christ, enabling us to lead a Godly life without Jewish law or church legalism."
- If you are able to live your life not according to the jewish law or any church legalism, you may have a valuable faith! Having faith in God is not the same as having faith in an organisation. To stand on our own to feet, alone, and to choose to live by love and honesty is a struggle. Wish you well! Love Healthworker
some members have been using the term creationism to refer to everyone that is not an atheist, and believes in god.
i just wanted to bring out the fact that there are a wide variety of beliefs.
not all that believe in god reject evolution, propose a young earth, and reject scientific methods.. some newer atheists have been saying that unless you are an atheist you do not believe in facts, reason, and logic.
"That people in the particular time frame indicated can confidently believe it is possible to escape from the very experience of dying. There is nothing upbuilding about such illusionary hopes. To the contrary they are destructive of true hope, weakening to genuine faith" - page 566
May this be some of the reasons so many x jws have become atheists? I am just asking, because ordinary people seems more agnostic or open to believe?

cedars:" I don't know. "
Ha ha, you made me laugh for at least half a minute. Thanks for your honesty though. I tend to agree with elderelite, that you have your important surveys to conduct! You do a very important job there! Love from your bro Healthworker

i feel a little smugness from long time posters.
i got out as a kid 20 years ago and since i am a newbie here it feels like we are shown a little less respect.
As far as I know the GB consists of 8 members. Let us now choose 8 jwn posters who has their position here: Let us start with Gerrit Losch. Who is the Gerrit of JWN?
i asked my mother( still very much active).
she said books made from '86 and before would not be online.
so we both looked at her physical revelation book and it was made in 88 so it should be there.
Remember a friend of mine who asked some questions at the bookstudy (he was actually on to something and smart - but we did not see that then). Well, one sister said to me after the bookstudy, that my friend needed a biblestudy to strengthen his faith!
thanks!.

Hortensia: " It's an accidental wonder" - I guess that is why some people worship.
"My future plans? I figure I've got 20 to 30 years to go, unless I step in front of a bus." - I liked that one. Step in front of a bus. Ha ha, cool. Well, I can give you this advice: Do not destroy your hearing or your eyesight, they are precious in keeping you alive. Also, as you get older, it is important to train your balance. A good balance may prevent you from falling, which can cause broken bones and result in threatening but important surgery! I hope you will enjoy your " dolce far niente" after working hard!

panhandlegirl: " There are, of course, the social obligations. I wish I could just stay home but there are those people who always want you to go somewhere with them." - Seems to be a good problem you have there
" life consists of work,eat, sleep, walk the dogs and drink wine" - Think I would agree on this to! Like the part with wine - have you tried some amarone wine from Italy? It is expensive but very good (used to drink a lot, but the last 9 months I have only been drinking rooibos tea).
"My purpose is to enjoy what life I have and read all the good books I can" - Have you read any books of Ray Franz. I can recommend in search of christian freedom. Can also recommend any books by Stieg Larsson (sweden) and Jo Nesbø (Norway). Both authors have movies made from their books and they have been shown all over the world.

Ha ha bigmac. Cool story. This may seem odd, but I think Jwn is very similar to any org. We have the elite and the rank & file. Many honest and idealistic newcomers get delusioned by all the crap some of the BOE write here.

Hu hu, and now they want to get even after all these years of not being included. Think that all GB members here are women:)
