i think that i read somewhere that jws believe that the magi who followed the star were 'evil' .
is that the case - if so how did they figure that?

Satan can only show astologers the way somewhere?
The magi deceived Herod, repented from being sinners, that's the journey they were on - and that's why christendom tells the story - to preach repentance, as He said.

everyone ?
should you be easygoing?
most people would probably feel that it is a compliment to be thought of as an easygoing person, one with a relaxed, placid, tolerant nature.
however, there is another side to easygoingness.
But where ? Do you read Hebrew ?

So turning away the childlike slays them ?

Most people would, y'know, report a pedophile to the police!

Do some people think that the x-files are a documentary? Does jwism revel in the conspiracy of 'Satan and christendom' and does 'judgement paranoia' drive it (into the sea) ?
Are the Kennedy's gunshy ?

Whether it's easygoing or complacent doesn't really matter - but doing it when your a fool seems to - someone in these bible studies they arrange needs to explain these scriptures back to them - they shouldn't be so complacent - makes them look foolish.

The easygoingness of the stupid becomes a problem to them - check out jwism ladder climbing techniques.

i would like to ask you for your collective help:.
i am in the process of attending a judicial committee meeting with three elders because of my "speaking" of "apostate" ideas in the congregation.
they have made responses to some of my thoughts but i can't make a reply in turn.
1. Why do apostates view the WTS as an enemy when it is trying to be a friend by bringing many to Jehovah?
Because by actively promoting lies, they cause harm.
2. Governing Body.
Try this on them theyll probably see red or say its lies.
Iraeneus
After the Holy Apostles had founded and set the Church in order they gave over the exercise of the episcopal office to Linus. The same Linus is mentioned by Paul in his Epistle to Timothy. His successor was Anacletus.
3. Organization in Jehovah's Creation:
Who said ? Russell - themselves?
4. Perceptions of the Organizaton:
The organization has a finite type of 'love'.
5. Organziation & Jesus Christ.
The elders stated that the organization does not put itself in the postion of Jesus Christ and is rather like a company under the direction of Christ as Managing Director
Is He on holidays then ?

a friend of mine said that jw's paid tithing.
i've never heard it mentioned on this board - is this true, and if so is there a set amount?
it's biblical so i would expect the jw to say something about it.
What's wrong with passing the plate?
