Would you listen to a rumour?

remember that article brothers?we have been up and running for less than a week and already have had accusations of apostacy bandied about.please stop and think before you make a serious allegation like this.

imagine the hurt it would cause to a genuine brother if it wasn't true.this doesn't mean that we should let our guard down against those who would try and disrupt things or cause divisions amongst us but i'm sure these poeple would like nothing more than to see us fall out with each other.some of these rumours have been spread by members of other boards or people pretending to be them.just be on your guard to this sort of activity and help us by not passing on unfounded accusations.thank you.

Forum plans and policy

in case anyone is wondering about our registration policy:.

i don't intend to turn people away who want to register and post or make ultra-strict registration procedures because i honestly don't think that they work.

if i were to ask for names of congregations or presiding overseers then i have no real way of checking if they are correct.

i've limited the number of forums until the user base has grown a bit...it will hopefully help us to congregate togther a bit until we get enough people to spread out.. if anyone has any suggestions for which forums they would like to see, please share them !

The three wise men
by Simon in
1. watchtower
2. bible
just a thought.... looking through the greatest man book, something just occurred to me which i can't recall has ever been highlighted (but please correct me).. i always thought it a bit strange that jehovah allowed the three pagan astrologers to find jesus especially as they were obviously guided to him by satan's star (remember they were led to herod first who wanted to kill the messiah).

what purpose did it serve?.

well, a few pages earlier in tgm book, we see mary presenting a dove as a sin offering at the temple - this was the cheapest offering that was acceptable which must have meant that they were pretty poor at the time.. shortly after the three wise men visited the family had to flee to egypt when herod started to kill all the young boys in an attempt to kill jesus.. what would they need to travel and live as exiles for a couple of years?.

Hey, where did all the forums go?
by Simon in

2. friends
i decided to limit the number of forums until the number of visitors has built up a bit...otherwise it will be like having a party in a 200 room mansion - no one will ever meet!.

please let me know if there are any forums that you'd like to see available.
