this is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.
would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?
she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.

As far as having to lie is concerned, there are many examples in the bible of people who had God's blessing but who had to lie.
There's a great deal of difference between the outright lie that you are encouraging LisaBObeesa's Mom to tell and those Biblical references that you have in mind. Apparently you haven't the faintest idea how they differ.
i don't know about the rest of you but i was one of the stupid ones lugging bricks around and cleaning them up for the jw's shortly before i left.. how many others here have done the same???.
how many of us have at one time been construction workers for the borg???.
esther...you set my brain working on this one with your thread .

I dug a ditch and threw my back out.... I lost 4 days of work and got no help at all from the "brothers".
Well, doggone it! Poor little baby. Poor little DLTR, made his back so sore that he couldn't do any work for a whole 4 days. Poor little thing. Listen, crybaby, muscle spasms do happen after a person uses muscles that haven't been used very much. If you had kept up the "work" it would have been good for your back, once the initial soreness had passed. You still abhor doing an honest days work, apparently.
Poor little Dirty Lip TR.

If you find blatant false prophesy strengthens your faith in this false messiah cult you have got serious problems.
Do you ever do anything but yap, julien? You wouldn't be able to recognize a true diciple of Christ if you were to see the head of John the Baptist perched upright upon a platter.

Logical
Why you ever chose to go by the screen name that you did is beyond me, Logical. I have yet to read more than a couple of your statements that are even close to being logical.
Yadirf and You Know should both be traced and reported to their elders.They think they are so special, yet, WHY dont the rules apply to them, re. association with "apostates"?
Do you ever *read* our posts, Logical? That question has been addressed on numerous occasions. It makes no sense that you should have to have it explained to YOU all over again. Like I've told you many a time, Logical: Roll over and go back to sleep. In case that fails, just play dead. Perhaps nobody will notice you then. Take my word for it, it would be more advantageous for you if nobody did.

Look, stupid, that wasn't Kent's work. He only cut and pasted the results of Jan's research. Wake up fella, and take yer nose outta Kent's anal orifice. Goodness knows but what he probably wipes only every other time.

You are currently in a glass house that is shattering before your own eyes......
You have quite an imagination, Ana. Have you ever considered employment with Walt Disney Corporation? You may have a great future awaiting there for you and not even realize it.

I knew I'd get a canned WT response like the one you gave.Yessirreee, God's progressive org.
Am I to suppose that you disagree that progress was realized regarding the principle you first brought up, DLTR? Don't tell me that you exhibit pride for the American Flag and even go so far as saluting it. Have you also digressed in that area too, DLTR? Or are you even brave enough to say, one way or the other? How about it, DLTR, have you turned to being patriotic? Do you get a bang out of the 4th of July each year. Did you dress up as Santa last December and pass out treats on October 31st? Just how far have you digressed, DLTR? Come on, spill the beans about yourself!

Thank you for that lengthy great review of WTS history ... I found it faith strengthening. What courageous and great men Russell and Rutherford were. They certainly kept the right things before their eyes, and their hearts were set upon the right things. What an honor it would have been to have been in their company ... but I was born too late, drat it!
And most of all thanks to Jan Haugland, that surely required a lot of work on Jan's part.

You're both normal and abnormal. You're normal because, unlike Joelbear, you're turned on by what men are supposed to be turned on by. You're abnormal because you can't seem to regulate what you're turned on by.

The two examples you point out just goes to show that Jehovah's Witnesses have been a progressive people when it comes to the acqusitition of accurate knowledge. On the otherhand, look at people such as yourself ... instead of progressing along with JW's you digressed into the childish immoral cuss that you are.
True, JW's still have progress to make ... but they sure as hell have got you beat by a long shot.
