this doctrine change is very interesting.
the july 2013 study watchtower pages 8 para 17 and 18 makes these statements....... .
""""we understood that the arriving mentioned.
Why should we give these people the slightest attention? Their use of expressions like "We understood that", "It is reasonable to conclude that" only goes to prove that they are not more inspired than you or me. Their claim to be God's only chanel here on earth is blasphemous. I don't know why rank.and file witnesses don't see that.
Ps
Sorry for crashing this party. I just had to get this out.
it's not only springsteen's latest song that is inaccurate, but bethel certainly doesn't look after it's own.. i know it's very easy for us to what to criticise bethel after our experiences, but if we are reasonable with the wbts and approach this with an open mind, can we conlude it's fair how bethelites are treated?.
i know with any company if an employee breaks the rules, they have to leave.
being fair, i can't wave a finger at bethel for telling those who break rules, sin, etc., to leave.
It's brotherly love.
with the french open and all i decided to look up serena and found some photos of she and a number of boyfriends - some of them in poses not proper for witnesses.
just want to ask if she's still a witness.
or is her leash longer because she's a high profile witness?.

after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.
some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .
witchcraft is an evil thing.
STT, the nation of Israel practiced divination wholesale. Before going to war, they tried to foresee the outcome. Anyhow you slice it that's divination.

1. Science is not blind.
2. Everywhere we look, there is intelligent design. Scientists ascribe this to a 'what', while religion ascribes it to a 'who', God.
Like return of the parakeet, I hate when religious nutters beat on science, when science has given us all we have of value today. Organized religion has fought tooth and nail against knowledge which would uplift our race.
Assuming god exists, and the Bible is correct, the first sentence in the Bible is " in the beginning god created...". If God created man in his image then our ability to create is what distinguishes us from all other animals including apes and dolphins. So all the science-bashing is plain stupid.
using bible in determing the date of the creation of adam .
anyone in their right mind believe this to be true in today age.. don,t you think this nullify the whole bible?
the very first book.
Hey, add neanderthals to the mix.
Was Adam stone-age or pre stone-age.

Entertaining, logical and simplified. Thnx for the summary. You're helping me reaffirm that I made a good decision when I left the wts.
1. mark 7:15 "there is nothing from outside a man that passes into him that can defile him; but the things that issue forth out of a man are the things that defile a man.. so how can eating black pudding or having a blood transfusion be a sin?.
2. roman 14:5 one [man] judges one day as above another; another [man] judges one day as others; let each one be convinced in his own mind.
so how come they say birthdays and festivals are a sin?.
Thank everyone who's contributed to this thread. My mom will soon start calling to remind me of the memorial. I'll have stuff for her to think about.
because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

A few people I can think of offhand who married non believers. Paul, the dude dishing out advice for married couples was single.
Nolongerconfused take heart and I pray things work out for you.
