Oh, by the way, I love how the illustration of the little kid imagining speaking to some "ancient" worthy looks like he is speaking to him on the same island that Jodie Foster was on when she spoke to her Dad...the alien. Subliminal message perhaps?
Is the organization building a device to transport the faithful to the Thetan galaxy?

Moses will have an entourage similar to his Holiness the Dalai Lama or Snoop Dogg. I believe, with the natural laws of progression in play, that one of the first things that the perfect mind will envision, will be to build a vehicle similar to the modern-day "Pope Mobile" to usher him around the new system, it will obviously run on banana leaves and acorns.
When Gog of Magog attacks at the end of the 1,000 years and many of the "perfect" people return to the more violent nature, Only the "Mope Mobile" will protect Moses from their bloodlust.
mine was a gradual going away.
but once it dawned on them, i think people were shocked that i left the religion i espoused from youth.. were people "in the truth" and "in the world" surprised by your departure?.
@ Laika- Yes, like prophecy for the Watchtower, sometimes the actual fulfillment of a prophecy is not understood until AFTER the events unfold. That is the way it usually works, "I always thought there was something strange...." "You know, I remember something they said once..." Blah, blah, blah, BLEGH, WRETCH!

juror email leads to mistrial.
that juror now faces a possible contempt of court charge.the trial of a man involved in a high speed crash that killed a prince george's county police officer last year ended in a mistrial.. one of the jurors told the judge via email thursday morning that judging others was a violation of her religion as a jehovah's witness, news4's prince george's county bureau chief tracee wilkins reported.. kevon darnell neal, 23, was charged with vehicular manslaughter and fleeing and eluding following the death of officer adrian morris, 23.. morris and his partner were pursuing a stolen silver acura when their cruiser ran off interstate 95 near the powder mill road exit in august 2012. morris died after being ejected from the vehicle.
You have to keep up with Jehovah's chariot....and the significance of the phrase- "a mature christian when presented with...."
so is the christian hope in heaven or on earth?.
in acts chapter 1the question was raised: 6 so when they had assembled, they asked him: lord, are you restoring the kingdom to israel at this time?
7 he said to them: it does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the father has placed in his own jurisdiction.. notice jesus never said thered be a change in venue, just that it wasnt up to them to know when..... so what is there from both sides?
Oh, sorry, after the faithful are saved and receive their heavenly reward...what happens then is anyone's guess...Back to earth? Why not? If you believe this type of thing, anything is possible.

"christian" = "heaven" There is no other ultimate reward for a Christian according to the New Testament.
spinning off from another thread, have jesus' teachings been less than universally helpful to mankind?
how do we measure if a particular philosophy is helpful or harmful?.
i am going to use the "universal morals" listed here.
The sayings of Jesus are just another thread in the tapestry of spiritualist thinkers. The ideals he espoused are universal. They are strikingly similar to the Buddha in many respects and this is to be expected in that the teachings of the Buddha were well known during the time of Jesus. What has endangered his teachings is the manner in which others have manipulated and adulterated the core of his teachings. Nothing that is actually attributed to Jesus appears hurtful of harmful in any way. Taken out of context, they become devoid of spirituality and become propagandalist fodder!

i often see comments by ex-jws that would suggest some men still view themselves as "head of the house".
sometimes comments from women appear to support the idea as well.. how many still see things this way or have you completely got over it?.
I am only "head of the house" on my taxes. Our household operates under the precepts of an Anarcho-Syndicalist commune.
i was having an anointed moment last night when brother russell came to me in a dream.
he was quite disturbed and agitated.. he said "brother reed, what in the miracle wheat eating jellyfish is going on with the organization i set up?
the more of my beloved watchtower that i read the more they marginalize my dead ass.".
Cool, he visited me in a dream once too. He wanted to sell me some furniture.
they just put up the march km 2014 on the private website.
