why are witnessess persecuted?
most religions out there have this thing against witnesses.
many will do anything to get them banned or to shut their mouths.

Why are apostates persecuted? Most jehovahs witnesses out there have this thing against apostates. Many will do anything to get them banned or to shut their mouths. Even in watchtower articles, if someone did something and they are apostates, it will be mentioned. If they were members of the watchtower society, no mention of their affiliations are made. Why is that?

anyone have any good ideas on how to keep dubs from constantly returning??
they don't seem to leave the area alone with just requests and they are preying on those who live in a development that do not have the money to file a lawsuit.
help!

i've been looking at this letter for some time.. and researching it's origins.. i can't find anything conclusive, really.
i can't locate a denial of its existance from the society, but i haven't got access to any literature anymore, having left it all behind when i moved country to america from england.
so...is there any reference to it in, for example, the proclaimers book?.
They quote bits and pieces of it now and again, but never complete. They are trying to put an altogether different spin on it, than was originally intended. It's really best to read the whole thing.

There are 2 different documents involved.
1. The declaration of the facts, which was distributed to the german public. This can be found in the 1934 yb at around pg 130. It is also available on the net.
2. The letter to hitler. Don't know if the wt ever reprinted it, but a copy is available on the internet.
Best of luck SS
hi.. ive been experiencing some pretty weird phenomena recently.. it started about two months ago.. what happens is, i get dreams.
they are bad.so bad they wake me up.this is always like, 3am, 4am,then i get up.
after a while i start getting sensations with my hair standing on end and electric impulses running up and down my back, like mild electric shocks.

It could be caused by a combination of the medication and results from your spiritualist group experiments. Something i find more interesting though, is that, except for the message about something bad happening, the earlier part is exactly how i see things now.
Don't take me as trying to be authoritative, but i would like to make one abservation, based on my own experiences and books read. None of the posters so far has looked at the possibilty that the communications could be real, considering of course the possibility that there exists a higher dimension. Based on that, it could be that your meds and group experiments have together, opened a channel in your mind to another dimension. One entity from there has chosen to speak to you. Maybe it has a fondness for you. It is very unlikely to be god. You might be able to get answers to questions if you focus on one question during the day and just before retiring.
All that being said, doesn't mean there aren't dangers for you. You could stop the meditation/hypnotism for a while, if you wanted to slow this down. If you get a psychiatrist, find out his/her religious beliefs first. Agnostic might be the best. You shouldn't be told it's demons, cuz it's not.
BTW, which medication are you on?

here is an interesting article by a local columnist that underscores the invalidity of the christian religion as god's chosen one.
it also casts serious doubt on the bible as well as jesus' originality.
this is really nothing new to those of us who have researched it.. http://www.sun-herald.com/newsarchive2/122301/cl2.htm?date=122301&story=cl2.htm.

>Elohim is used in emphasis of deity and not in numeration
>The plural use in Genesis 1.26 IS an early indication that God is more than one person
You admit it's multiple, but not of gods, rather of persons. You say it's multiple, but it's not multiple. Seems you're doing a watchtowerism here, trying to have it both ways.
I looked up goddess in strongs exhaustive concordance. It occurs only 2 times in the ot. 1kings 11:5,33. Strongs assigns goddess the number 430. Looking up #430 give elohiym. Given the other utterances where deity says 'let us' or 'like us', i don't see that my explanation is too farfetched, especially considering the fact that genesis isn't directly inspired, but derived from other legends and writings.
Does copeland also see gen1:1 like this? I wasn't aware of it. I never became a fan of his.
Merry christmass

g'day jesus,.

Jesus
Me too. I've got nothing against you, if you are there. Any time you want to visit again, you're welcome.

>If, as the Bible contends, all religion goes back to worship of the one, true God
The first four words of the bible put a little leak in you bucket of monotheism. They are 'In the beginning god'. God is translated from elohim, a combination of 2 hebrew words, elo feminine singular, thus godess, and him plural masculine. And so, it contains the ideas of godesses and gods. So the bible starts out polytheistic and moves toward monotheism.
