Welcome to the forum, so that means that you went through all the JC nonsense when you were 17! You should be proud of yourself to have learned and realized things about those people so early in life. Some don't have that youth advantage.
i'm in my mid 40's and recently started bible study and going to meetings.
my family is really having a hard time with this.
my kids that are over 18 are no longer speaking to me and won't have anything to do with me.
Any suggestions????
This organization is already causing division in your family. Why are you still entertaining the idea of staying with them?
man who claims god punishes gays with floods has his home destroyed in flood of ‘biblical proportions’.
family research council president and former louisiana state legislator tony perkins had to escape his flooded baton rouge home via canoe, the christian post reported on wednesday, citing his recent comments on his radio program, “washington watch.”.
“[i have seen] nothing like this, and i have been involved in disaster relief, especially here in louisiana, working and coordinating relief efforts through several hurricanes,” the christian post quoted mr. perkins as saying.
I am as gay as it gets and no flood around my city. Surprise, The Family Research Council and similar people are full of it!
for those of you that asked, below is a copy of my solicitors letter to the elders in my old congregation.
he sent a similar one directly to bethel and a medical directive to my daughters gp to go on her medical records that i have already given permission for her to have a blood transfusion should she need one:.
.
I'm glad to hear that there are loving parents who really are protecting their children from those inappropriate people.
this week bible reading is ps.102-105.
i noticed in ps 105:15: saying, “do not touch my anointed ones,and to my prophets do nothing bad.".
so are these part of the 144,000?
The whole 144,000 thing is really nuts.
Look no further.
hi new to forum and first post!
i have been reading posts on and off for years.
still fighting my "doubts" and struggling internally, my family is active and the wife knows nothing of my late night website reads here.
Welcome to the forum.
we had a bad experience with watchtower trying to infiltrate our forums.
let this story be a warning for all you guys here.
if you value your privacy do not ever send your real contact details to anyone, even if you trust them (because their accounts could be hacked or accessed by their relatives - and yes, this happened to people i know several times already).

...or you can just tell them to eff off. The Wt has no power, no rights and no authority over me, so my suggestion is for all who feel otherwise, start learning, and most important, start FEELING right about your real relationship with that organization.
thanks to the "inspired expressions" of the fds/gb of jehovah's witnesses, not only are 99% of j.w.
's excluded from the new covenant, but apparently none of the first century christians are part of the "israel of god" - aka "spiritual israel.".
w14 11/15 p. 26 par.
I visit Spiritual Israel rather frequently. Spiritual Telaviv is a great hub for other spiritual countries.
i didn't know this but there is a way to calculate the minimum population required for a certain species to survive over the next 100 to 1000 years.
this is called the "minimum viable population".. genesis states that 2 (or 7) of each "kind" went into the ark.
supposing that each "kind" means each "species", and they all could fit in the ark, and they came out safely, most of the species would have died, because it is impossible to survive, long-term, with a starting population of 2.this is interesting:"an mvp of 500 to 1,000 has often been given as an average for terrestrial vertebrates when inbreeding or genetic variability is ignored.
How did they keep a pair of mosquitoes in the Ark?
i'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.
there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.
first let me say that god didn't create man for you.
Donald Trump, is that you?
