Thank you for your helpful line of reason.
hey everyone, .
everybody has called for everything from full scale nuclear assault to a more measured response, against targets ranging from the entire middle east to just the perpetrators.
the only country in which arabs can vote for their leaders is israel, where native born arabs are given citizenship.

do you remember when you were a beleiving jw and you heard of some catastrophy?.
i remember feeling sick because on one hand i wanted the death count to be as high as possible to prove we were in the time of the end, and on the other hand thinking how tragic, i was sick because i had such twisted thinking and i couldn't shake it.. did anyone else feel that way when you were a jw?.
if not how did you feel about these things?.

THIS IS THE TRAGIC REALITY OF WT MIND CONTROL!
Where is the love for the innocent victims?
Where is the WT GOOD NEWS FOR MANKIND?
HOW CAN THIS BE GOD'S SPECIAL CHANNEL FOR THE WORLD TO GET SAVED?
I'm so sorry for the surviving families, what a tragady!
i was talking to jw's that i know about a book that i had read by ray franz.
they told me that he was disfellowshipped because he was trying to the control the religion and bend it to his will.. i have read crisis of conscience and the first half of in search of christian freedom, and can tell from my heart that this is not the case.
i see from his examples that he was truly trying to use scripture as his guide.. i am curious of other rumors that are/were circulating through the congregations about him, and on what "basis" they have been spread.
The rumor spead because when people are afraid of something(what Ray write's about),they need rumors to make them feel they are right for staying with the WT.
They need rumors so they will never get enough curiousity to investigate.
They need rumors so they can tell themselves the Society is God's Organization.
They need rumor because the WT is silent about Ray and why he let.
They need rumors so they can not get their hopes dashed.
They need rumors because they won't even beleive that anyone could leave the WT without being guilty of some sin.

i have never felt the intervention of the holy spirit in my life.
maybe that is one of the reasons i never felt like a good christian.. i think someone can take any situation and say it was the holy spirit acting in their life if they want to believe bad enough.
i saw my mother do this many times.. anyone here had any experiences that they felt was the holy spirit acting in their lives?
Susan,
You are a Mormon right?

how come that when jesus was on earth there were so many demon possessd people .. imagine how scared people must have been, creeping down the street wondering whether the next person you met was crased by demons and was going to attack you.. so how did they work out that someone was possessed by demons, who told them?how did they know it wasnt just a disease or other afliction?.
and were are all those demon possessions today ?.
you would think that with all the comunication technology today that at least one example of a positivly demon possessed person could be presented to the midia somewere in the world.. or perhaps we cant tell if someone is possessed or not because there are no extra outwould signs and any disease they caused would show up like a normal disease in tests.. maybe we are all possessed and dont know it.
I've never seen a ghost but when I was about 14 years old with a freind I played with the ougi board and asked it when I would get married and what would my wife's name be and I was told this:
I would get married at 23 or 24 I don't remember(I got married four days after I was 23).
And that my wife's name would be Marion which is correct.
I think there were some other things like that but never any sightings.
