and yet, the interesting thing is that you went to the kingdom hall.

unless you were just sneaking in to spy on your former brothers, which may or may not be the case, or perhaps in your case there is some remnant of spirituality that remains.

at any rate, jehovah has the perfect solution to the problem confronting the faith.

Comments from the CO today
by Richie in
1. jw
2. friends
i went to the meeting today to hear the public talk given by the visiting co. the talk dealt with jehovah's secret dwelling place and how we can all be taking advantage of "fleeing to safety" as it were, especially as the days are getting wicked as he mentioned.

he brought out the dangers of listening to apostates (there were 2 people in the congregation who disassociated themselves recently, which automatically meant that they were apostates according to the co's comments).

then he further elaborated on the fact that there were about 14,000 witnesses disfellowshipped in the usa each year and in canada 1400, about the size of a circuit assembly - also he said how terribly dishonorable it would be to be df'd and be as a dead person as it were (i felt so embarrassed as i am df'd) - during the talk he brought out two points which were extremely misleading if not outright lies: he said that just after the disaster of sept 11th, thousands of people "wanted to flee to security to the watchtower building and that they felt that they needed this security".

Easy Way To Prove 1914 Teaching Is Wrong!
by tfs in

2. beliefs
it does no good to argue about words.

however, the fact that, as i pointed out, paul appealed to ceasar, proves that christians are entitled to get a fair hearing according to the laws of the state system they are living under.

as a matter of fact, when paul wrote to the phillipians he was under arrest in rome.

matthew 10:11-14 says,.

"into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave.

when you are entering into the house, greet the household; and if the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you.

no doubt many 'loyal' witnesses view publicity about molestation.

and the u.n. with horror.. in reality,such scandals may become a blessing to all.. a widespread exposure of the watchtower society could bring about.

many good changes.
