  How Does One Find Another Religion

  by pettygrudger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is probably a strange question, but how do you "pick" something else to study?

  i'm having a hard time just picking up the bible & reading it - but i'm terrified of picking up any "study material" from other organized religions to help.

  which bible do i use?

  Is there another bible, other than the NWT by the JW's that comes from actual scrolls?

  
  well, the NWT doesn't come from actual scrolls. the NRSV is a bible accepted by all major christian religions.
  if you just want to here another far more scholarly and complete interpretation of the bible and to understand the frist christians here are a couple of links. you now have many predigudges aganst all other christian beliefs, beat into you buy "JOKE" bashing and actual repitious tichings in the hall. i challenege you to put away your hate and look for your self. beware teachers of hate. early christian writers are available on the web and in the library. on the net as you know you are anonymous. i found the bible to be a catholic book from cover to cover. every challenge every question has it's anser.

  heed this words
  in thougt and verse
  a prophecy,
  in part a curse
  when night is day
  in dawns gray
  demons on earth
  will have there way
  all things have there day
  striking at her heal
  she will not be brought to kneel
  one will come
  the widow's son
  to strike a deadly blow
  her child's life to save
  as only mothers do
  the serpeant's head
  beneath her shoe
  days of light
  light of life
  day of night
  night of day

  The FDS and NO governing body?!?

  by cecil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the early 1990's (if i remember correct either 1991 or 1992) there were talks at the district conventions entitled "the faithful and discreet slave" and "the faithful and discreet slave (fds) and its governing body (gb)".

  it was a series of talks that covered the issue fds through nearly 2000 years of history.

  as usual, these talks became articles (study-articles) in the wt 6-8 months after they were held at the conventions.. the talk i remember best was "the fds and its gb".

  this shift is part of a larger restructuring that began at least one year ago. i don't know what excuses thay will come up with, but in the end of the changes the company will be better protected from law suits and liability. i think, who the acual leadership is will be unclere. it seems to me to be by design. i'll bet you when it's done most witnesses wont be sure who is really on top.
  it's no surprise that the DO and CO are aware of the changes the GB needs men who can read between the lines since that is were the changes in WT policy frist appear. men who pick up on them and embrace them frist can appear to be "in step" or a good compamy man. this ofcourse should and does lead to ever grater "privliges" and authority.
  it's funny how many things one can pass off as wisdom

  it is all well and good thay think thay are happy but you know the nature of the beast. you can't blame yourself for there choices, at the same time there is a certain level of responsibility we all understand that.
  in reading your post, i think you wanted to say that you were sorry for what you did to them. i also think that would have been fine. it might even help with any feelings of guilt you might be experiencing.
  then too, some times there is nothing to be said. i wish you well

  i believe this is real. it is what it is.

  We can look for all property owned by the
  watchtower society to be seized. Branches, land,
  farms, kingdom halls. They might use the excuse that
  they need the land to fund wars or something of that
  possessions.

  
  time to hide the assets. but would that be the right thing to do?
  

  There will be no need
  for some to know everything, especially the
  government.[\QUOTE]
  well if you put it like that i guess it is right

  [QUOTE]Apostates are rampant, (Matthew 24:24)waiting for
  a time when they can publicly denounce God's people.
  That doesn't mean they are not active now. They are
  publishing materials and speaking loudly. But it will
  get worse. And as Jesus and Paul pointed out, there
  will be traitors in the congregation[\QUOTE]
  traitors to who?? God,lambs,or the corporation?

  [QUOTE]There will probably be a time when the preaching
  work will slow drastically. Our main focus may be on
  keeping alive and enduring.[\QUOTE]
  Ah, that will explain the falling numbers

  [QUOTE]This is the opportunity to comfort people. The
  brothers in NY are using bibles and brochures, and
  leaving book bags home[\QUOTE]
  here is the sales leason.

  if this is not real i'll eat my hat.
  it stinks like "corporate interest" propanda.

  in the town i live in, there are many male arabic students that come here for an education.

  but is that really their reason for coming?

  or, are they here to taste the freedom that the u.s. provides?

  organization.

  following the model of first-century christianity, jehovah's witnesses have no clergy-laity division.

  all baptized members are ordained ministers and share in the preaching and teaching work.
