Larc,
Maybe you ask if you could do a miracle or 2 since tapes can be altered and your wife knows that.

i've been interested in the discussion on the 'for those of us who believe in god' thread and aguest wrote this:.
"we have been misled into understand what 'faith' really is.".
if we have all been misled, then can someone explain what exactly faith really is?

Larc,
Would that be audio or video tape?

Larc,
So if God did tell you directly to do something you would do it.
I think your actions would then be an expression of faith, and good use of knowledge.
What if he told you to go out to the desert and live in tents and you did it. I think that action would be your expression of faith in Him.
Abraham had a choice and he didn't have to live as an alien or as good as offer up his son as a sacrifice.
He trusted God and he did both.

To me I think faith that the Bible talks about is more like trust.
Abraham had faith and did what God asked even though he didn't know all the details, he didn't have to have everything spelled out before he acted but did what ever God asked not knowing all the why and what-ifs.
I think faith is trusting what God says in his word without having to know every detail and living a life that shows that trust like Abraham.
Thats my little rhetorical thrust on Faith.
this is my first time to be back on the boards in about a week, much to follow up on and i have quite a story to tell regarding the events of the last week.
before i go into that though i would like to make a clarification for all concerned regarding our family business.
while i do appreciate the efforts to offer support personally, it has never been the intent to profit in any way from silentlambs.
Bill,
I have tremendeous respect for you Bill.
You made a very good point here.
And I wish you all the sucess in what you are trying to do, what you just said here gave me a lot to respect for you and your wife.

Captain You Know,
I think you are probably saying to yourself that I'm not an apostate, because I don't teach my ideas to the JW community.
But you do teach them here! And some that lurk here are still JWs in good standing.
I don't see any difference do you? whether here or at the Kingdom hall you are teaching different doctrine than the WT, that my freind is apostacy according to the WT definition.

Captain You K.
Lets face facts you are an apostate acording to the WT definition.
So it's a very clasical case of the pot calling the kettle black.
You call us apostates and here you admit to doing things the WT calls apostacy.
You Know, You Know, You Know, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.

You Know,
I used to be an elder and I know that when someone writes the Society and if they feel that this person has different veiws than what they teach they will send a letter to the PO and will not tell the sender of the letter, they did so. If your correspondance is anything like the things you posted here I feel 99% certain they've got their eye on you. So watch your back!
I mean it!
