MY opinion is he is the negative charge needed to complete the universe.......and I feel this because even in the abyss he will dwell in.......... in REV.......... it never says he will die

spirits in my opinion can never die....thats is why I feel we keep on going and going cause we are part spirit as well.

ying yang sort of thing , a battery is a great example regardless of what is contained within , it needs a ground...or a negative

I look forward to everyone elses responses

she misses him so very much that she still cries sometimes for him when she has a bad day.. about 2 months ago, my husband was at her house working on his car.

when he came home, he told me that jehovah's witnesses came knocking at her door.

she invited them in the house.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

universal declaration of human rights.. article 19.. everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

http://www.un.org/rights/50/decla.htm.

forbiding you from reading apostate material is an abuse of human rights.

independent thinking

by stephenw20 in

1983 "avoid independent thinking .. how is such independent thinking manifested?

a common way is by questioning the counsel that is provided by god's visible organization.

" {wt jan 15 1983 22}.

LoveDubs.

by greek I imagine you mean Pauls stuff too

does this sound like annointed only

Col 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Phl 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

2Cr 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

and if they were all annointed , is it possible that in the 60 years of Pauls , Johns , Peters, James and the other apostles and the 70 sent out that there were not more than 144,000.....do the MATH!

Phl 1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Phl 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

Phl 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

Phl 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

Phl 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

and of course others PREACHED to... hmm I wonder if they kept track of hours?

it's my 1st time to post here..i'm basically an open-minded person.

so it has always bothered me to think that there is only one true religion.i've always told this to my mom but she thinks otherwise.

i love my mom so much that i would do anything to make her happy but she knows that i have doubts.

Doubt is like a drop of water on a rock....keep dripping

the one true religion statemnt I find very egotistical and just a blasphemous statemnt all the way around.

I spose the evildoer was somehow privy to this TRUE religion

Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

Mar 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part

Mar 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

I see belonging to CHRIST,,,not JWS
THese scriptures do appear inthe NWT...

guess the RULES HAVE CHANGED

What did you do?

to all those who have in some way left the organization (be it disfellowshipping, disassociating, dis-whatever):.

come now, i know the amount of people who "realized that wt doctrine was in serious error" and politely handed in their letter of resignation has to be very small.

the level of bitterness and hostility towards the closest-to-what's-biblical organization has to develop some other way.. what did you do?

I wanted to say to all those who had postions of responsibility and made the decision to step down....Wonderful...never having been in that postion I dont have the frame of reference to know what you had to go through to decide this.

I am sure it was not easy ,but I applaud you . For those others who have looked inside the organization after being with it so long, WONDERFUL! keep looking and deciding

Keep your mind open and remember how wonderful it is to share with others.
