LOVE THIS QUOTE

"if you find that you are stumbled or are offended about something being taught in god's.

organization, or some adjustments being made, keep this in mind: god has put enough in the.

bible to provide a complete foundation for faith.

Zeb - a classic example of doublespeak. Either way you lose! - You ought to frame it.

Purgatory, Limbo or the Twilight Comfort Zone

no offence meant but is this place some kind of waystation inhabited by beings neither in nor out of the lie?

this is not a criticism just an observation.

i know it can take time to make up your mind-solidsender

7 - thanks for the question. Well as I said i'm only new here and have been spending a lot of time reading back through the post archives. I suppose you could say that I was expecting people to be a little more left or right. A lot of people seem to be ambiguos - dissatisfied or unhappy about the WTBTS and being a member of it -but feel compelled for various reasons to remain within it.-SolidSender

New System Conundrum

by RedhorseWoman in

jw

does everyone remember the wt stating that in the new system, after everyone has been resurrected, there will be at least one acre per person?.

didn't that seem like a lot of space to you?

i know it did to me, growing up in a typical suburban neighborhood.

Dubby - sorry about the confusion, it's just that when you mentioned checking out who had been augmented amongst the naked sisters in the new system i guess i was automatically imagining pam anderson types - just a reflex mental association when it comes to that subject i suppose. so you plan on looking at non lustworthy naked sisters in the new system? Regarding Hell - i've read some interesting return from the dead reports on people who had gone to Hell and came back. The general concensus is that it's pretty darn good down there! Very similar to a Vegas Casino. Bars, naked women, gambling, Elvis etc . Everyone was really upset about being brought back from there it was so good.- SolidSender

Qualified to be elders?

by Andyman in

jw
friends

this is an issue that really bothers me.

the elders are supposed to be looking after the well being of the congregation.

they are supposed to be helping those in need.

SolidSender

PathofThorns, exactly my point above, because of the fleshly, legislative atmosphere motive is thrown wide open to doubt.

Andy - sorry about jumping to conclusions. It's just that I figure there's a real gap around here for someone to take the non wishy washy stand. The fatal flaw with the WTBTS is that by convincing themselves that christianity is organisation and regulation bound ( comparable to mosaic law bound Israel ) they've by default thrown love as a motive for service to God completely into doubt ( comparable to mosaic law bound israel ). The result being the absurd elder situation described by yourself at the top of this thread and in fact absurd situations within the organisation described by just about everyone on this post at some time or another. I'm the first to admit I'm a cynic but I paid a high price ( 15 years as a witness )to be one, so I think I've got the right to be one. I'm still trying to get their indoctrination out of my system but doubt if I ever will completely such is it's insidious nature. I believe that one can never give enough consideration to what the hell has gone on and is going on here. I think it's very important to take your life seriously. It got to the point where I was very unhappy being a witness and for me that was important enough reason to put an end to it. More later I guess-SolidSender

it has been an experience to say the least.

i accepted eagerly the teachings of the watchower bible and tract society over the last 7 years.

i have been a dedicated pioneer for four of those years.
