in a letter in the 2013 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body sign off with the words, "we love you all very much".
these words were later echoed by one of the governing body in an address to french jehovah's witnesses in july this year.
these words sound so marvellously compelling and heartfelt - goosebump inducing, even.. imagine the governing body wrote these words to you or expressed them to you in person- yes to you reading these very words.
Perry said: "Can you show me just one scripture in the new testament that describes how a person can get their sins forgiven outside of the new covenant"
Scripture is not needed. Sins are not forgiven through covenants. They are forgiven through the sacrifice and priestly acts.
i am currently an skeptic, but i have to admit that i can't assure that all the stuff of early christianity was false.. for instance, we know that the genuine letters of paul were written before the destruction of jerusalem.
so, paul affirmed that jesus resurrected, though he was not there when it supposedly happened.
but, if jesus did not resurrect, why didn't the jews expose this falsehood?.
Just search for the answer on jw.org. Afterall there is a worldwide campaign saying it has the answers.
as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.
when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.
this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.
Of course I can defend the teachings since they are bible based. I just don't care to do so as I am so tired of the Bible.
Why does everything have to follow the first century model? What made them right?
The bible is about this person said this or that or did something and we are forever using it as an example.
Boring!!!
have you guys asked yourself that question?
what if the gb decided that "new light" revealed to them that disfellowshipping was wrong and they would do away with it for current dfd members as well...... .......16 years of my life.
would i welcome my family back?
I would shun the JWs as there is no value in them.
i've seen responses from a number of elders, but have any co's become enlightened?
What about Willis Bentley whom I heard that he left because the Writing and/or Service dept did want him to write his own talks.
wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.
Dagney: I got that picture in an email that had many pictures of people from various countries holding tracts. That picture had the word Greece under it.

Or just wear the tshirt
isn't it amazing that the elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp on a letter from new york or whatever branch, than they are to the people they know and have known for years in their own congregation?.
when you think about that, the reason is that they get their power from that rubber stamp.
that is what appointed them, and that is what can unappoint them.

I like that and will use that.
my dad died recently and was a long time jw.
we have had some interesting experiences with his passing and have been researching for other jw stories and there are none.
anyone know why?
Those Near Death Experiences are simply the brain hallucinating or dream.
As for these dead people communicating and UFOs, I will believe in it when I experience it.
