  I will add to Dis-Member's comment from Acts 17:27 that "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us."

  John 4:24 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." If we worship, we worship in spirit. This has nothing to do with being part of a group or joining a movement.

  Strictly Bob...If you have God, then God exists only within. God is not to be found out there somewhere, out there anywhere. God is the spirit within.

  My Story

  by Brother Mike in

  my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.

  since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.

  immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.

  Brother Mike, There is no judgment here. The people here understand because we have been through similar things. What you are going through is very hard thing. Be good to yourself for while. Take a mini vacation or do some things just for the joy of it. Life does eventually fall together in a wonderful way. I wish that for you speedily.

  ive been cruising the net in search of the meaning of life (lol- as if!

  ) and came across this amazing piece of writing that i think puts everything in perspective... .

  at first, when you really get that nothing matters at all it's very depressing.

  Find joy along the way, I now say.

  Remember that incident 2 weeks ago that really ticked you off, that made your blood boil? Today you can't even remember it, can you? Did it really matter?

  (Dang. I should go out in field service with my new message.)

  Julia. What if your old high school Principal came by your house with a veiled threat of dismissing you from the school? What would you say to him/her? Why would you care? Maybe you would snicker and say "I graduated your high school years ago. Do what you please about my status. I doubt I will be coming back."

  Mike, there are a bunch of active brothers and sisters that look here. No big deal. I am glad they, you, are here. I used to not think that the WT was a cult. I changed my mind.

  Everyone here is not like that. I read a lot here but don't post very much. I could say a lot, but it appears that others have a greater need to be heard.

  Maybe leaving the WT in body does not equate to leaving the mindset of needing to be right. I like being right. But in the end, no one cares about me being right than me. So you can go ahead and say the most outrageous things and you won't get a complaint out of me.

  This is just Bob's from NC one man opinion.

  Children learn and develop an inner truth about themselves from their parents, from what their parents say and don't say. Words are powerful. Do you want to your child to believe about itself "YOU are a speck of dirt. Who are you to complain about ANYTHING! What do you have to be proud of?" Or more importantly, do you want your child to believe that YOU believe that about them?

  How about something like this when questioned why why why. "One day before you know it, you will be making your own choices about everything. When that time comes I am sure you will make good choices. But right now you still need to learn a few things. And besides that, I work and provide everything that you have. So that gives me some say in what you do for now. That is why." No degrading remarks, no tearing down. And don't be mad when you say. That's just how it is...for now.

  To DA myself or to go to JC meeting, that is the question

  by Crazyguy in

  i just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.

  so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.

  Everybody has already said it some form. I would add that you could say "I only want serve God and that has nothing to do with attending a meeting that you want to have." Then IGNORE IGNORE them.

  Unless of course you want their good graces and want to plead innocence about something? I doubt that. You can be nice while not giving them your personal power.

  Proper grammar and "This Generation"

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was never good at spelling and probably worse at grammar.

  so if jesus really ment that the phrase "this generation" was an over lapping of generations then what would of been the proper way of saying it, if at all????

  ?.

  Enlightened ones know that the word "nother" has been taken out of the Greek manuscripts due to superstition about pronouncing "nother." How thankful we are that the Faithful and Discreet Slave has restored "nother" to its proper place and thus the true meaning of Jesus' words at Matthew 24:34, that Jesus meant "this nother generation."

  33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this [nother] generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
