  Waiting,

  Couldn't understand the above post, however. Not enough coffee in my brain yet.

  I read the message three or four times and thought I was missing some sort of deep significant insight! Glad to know it was just "tripe".

  Do you still attend meetings?

  i'm wondering if you still attend meetings?

  do you hold out hope for the watchtower organization?

  if you've left entirely, have you found another form of worship?

  Test:

  Sass you click on the "Use Forum Code in your message" if you can figure out how to use it let me know. I still haven't gotten it.

  Does it work? TW, I followed the instructions in the little window. I wrote Quote enclosed by square brackets and copied the remark and then put /Quote, again with the square brackets around it.

  Thank you for the repsonses!

  Thinker's wife,

  I shouldn't be admitting that I'm a papist, should I? I'm rather inclined toward eastern wisdom, though. Like you, I would like to find something that feels right in my heart. When I read The Knowledge book, I initially felt such excitement. As I worked my way through other book, the doubts crept in. I wonder if the Knowledge book came about as a result of condensing all the beliefs that weren't too bizarre or too far fetched?

  I can't be bothered with debates on scriptural inerpretations either. They're interesting, though. I wonder if Jesus had any idea that the fables he told to simplify his teachings would become so convoluted.

  Thank you again :)

  One other thing. Is there a help page available to teach me how to quote properly from other messages?

  If you've left entirely, have you found another form of worship? I'd very much like to know where you have turned. I've never fully believed, which is why I am not baptized, but I haven't any solid beliefs of my own.

  Thank you in advance.

  Och! Blimey, I see now you've received the mail. It was only in jest, just the same. Pardon my blunder. There's a gentleman on holy scriptures.com that sounds akin to that.

  Jehovah's Organization

  by Sassenach in

  i've recently had a discussion with a witness friend in which she said that jehovah had to have an organization.

  if not jehovah's witnesses, then who else could possibly have his approval?.

  what i would like to know is if jehovah has always had an organization, who were they?

  Thank you everyone for your responses.

  Larc,

  The discussion I had ran along the lines of the question you pose. I had said that if Jesus did not arrive in 1914 and subsequently did not choose the WTBTS as His earthly channel, then the 'wheat' was still mixed with the 'weeds'. To which I was informed that Jehovah has always had an organization in the past and therefore has to have an organization now.

  From what waiting says, this is not true. Thank you waiting. I'm going to ask these same questions next week.

  RR,

  Thank you. I guess I didn't make my initial entry clear. What I would really like to know is what do Jehovah's Witnesses believe? This isn't the first time I've heard a witness say "Jehovah has always used an organization", but I've never heard of another 'organization' except the first century Christians.

  Logical, I can't get the board to display posts older than ten days. When I click for posts earlier back I get a message that reads:

  "405 Method Not Allowed

  The method specified in the Request Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the request. Please ensure that you have
  the proper MIME type set up for the resource you are requesting.

  I'm using netscape. Is there another way to view the posts?

  Perhaps you can help me with this. I've recently had a discussion with a witness friend in which she said that Jehovah had to have an organization. If not Jehovah's Witnesses, then who else could possibly have His approval?

  What I would like to know is if Jehovah has always had an organization, who were they? I know that the first century Christians were considered to be one, but who else?

  Thanks
