Jesus is NOT the Archangel, Michael Heb 1:13 In any other translation except the NWT, The Living Bible Translation, says "And did God ever say to an angel, as he does to his Son, "Sit here beside me in honor until I crush all your enemies beneath your feet?" Jude 9 In the Greek Diaglott published by WTBT$ the word for word translation of the Greek word for, "May the Lord rebuke you." The spelling of the Greek word for Lord is the same one they use for Jesus, not God. So how could Michael the archangel tell Satan that if HE was Jesus???????

Gojira's Mom here. Ok, I'm nervous now. Gojira is calling her Dad right now and giving him some of the thoughts & tips all of you have suggested. Thank you for your good vibes & prayers. We will let everyone know as soon as we hear anything. Uncle D had a friend of his come over and he goes to my hubby, "Show him, show him everything." Awesome. If anyone out there watches 2 1/2 Men, Allen's mom Helen is a twin to my mother-in-law. Selfish, Self-righteous etc. i don't mean to be negative about her, but Gojira is correct, she's scary. I told Hubby that he was putting himself thru this and she is not going to listen to anything. But you never know. We'll see

Hi Former Mormon. So sad and sorry to hear that. I thought only the JW's were hateful & cruel to their family members that have been shunned. So thanks for sharing and PEACE be with you.

Stupidology and its findings
by Terry insince the early 1800's in america a number of new religions have appeared.. the church of jesus christ of latter day saints (mormons), christian science, jehovah's witnesses, scientology, etc.. there are elements in common.. some individual makes unprovable claims, untestable assertions and crafts unusual doctrines which dovetail in some ways with established beliefs while.
simultaneously and radically replacing them.. mormons produce a better and purer revelation in their book of mormon.. scientologists piggy-back off of psychiatry and gnosticism while inventing a new technology which eliminates infestations by alien beings trapped inside humans.. jehovah's witnesses claim leadership by a governing body as a sole channel of communicating escape plans from the imminent war of god on humans.. and so forth.... .
practioners of these religions must sooner or later grapple with disproofs which include discoveries made public of lies, misrepresentations and duplicity.. yet, the majority of adherents selectively dismiss such revelations as a test of their own faith and an opportunity to demonstrate solidarity.. a close examination of this self-reinforced refusal to confront disputatious rebuttal of doctrine i choose to call stupidology.. .

Since WTBT$ is still NGO members in the U.K, Russia & Belgium how can we contact them and file a petition that WT is NOT following their charter and letting the rights of its members leave WITHOUT persecution from the congregations & families?

How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?
by Julia Orwell ini'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.
as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?
surely education should come first.

Yeah right [Sarcastic like Dr. Evil]
YES WE GOT SCREWED!!!
My husband & I are 49 & 51. When I was a teenager, I asked my folks if I could become a veternarian and was told 'No, armeggedon is right around the corner. My teeth are so crowded that I have a tooth that sticks straight out and cuts my lip if I'm bumped in the mouth, but my mom told me 'Oh just a wait a little bit for braces, the new system will take care of that. So now I have problems chewing and my teeth are crumbling"
Same thing with hubby. Wanted to pursue a career in baseball. But because the new system was coming very soon, we quit school because that was what you did back then.
So now, we're facing retirement in about 15 years. Our Social Security [according to our latest statment they send you] won't be enough for our living expenses. My husband works at a farm that raises game birds, which is physical hard labor. We live from paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford a newer car. Mine has 215,000 miles on it.
Even when hubby was regular pioneering, God did not grow $$$ on trees and he had to come off the list.
AND, most Elders we know, left the org. to make their $$$ when they were in their 20's & 30's and now get up on the platform and tell us how to live a life of service to God.
Sorry, but we no longer buy into that because we have been faithful JW's for 40+ years and we have nothing.
