Bells of truth don't stink
by Gig ini found this the other day and thought it worth sharing.
it reminds me of something, can you help me figure it out?.
the society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy.

Found it
by Gig inhi friends,.
i posted a few weeks back and mentioned a recent wt article that implied russell's writings were somehow beneficial.
i thought the irony was worth sharing.. the watchtower, april 15, 2002, page 28.... "as observed in 1925 by remigio cuminetti, banchetti showed 'much sympathy' for the work of the bible students and was 'fully convinced' of the doctrines as explained by them.. on one occasion, banchetti was discussing russell's writings with a man named j.campbell wall.

ADVICE NEEDED
by Mary ini need some advice on this one: a friend of mine who is still an active jw called me today all freaked out because another friend of hers, who only got baptized this summer, wants to leave "the truth".
this is because she's been talking to "worldly" people and they've almost got her convinced that the religion is a cult.. .
my girlfriend, sarah says of course, that this is "satan" trying to blind her, etc.

I'm in love with a witness
by Gig ini'm new to this forum and have been reading all these topics and posts and kind of getting to know some of you.
i've always purposely avoided anti-witness or ex-witness opinion before but i'm tired and am looking for an end to it all.
like it says, i am very much in love with a witness, and she is very much in love with me.

Some truth for all...
by Gig in.
i've attended enough meetings to know that the jw's consistently are building themselves up instead of their beloved jehovah.
talk about idols of the heart, but sadly, they can't see it.. the truth is they use the bible to try to support their teachings, when everyone in their right mind uses their teachings to support the bible.. gig

Is the basis for the "true religion" ...
by Gig ini am not and have never been a jw.
however, i have spent the last two years meeting with them and studying with them.
not to worry, from practically my first day of research (independent thinking) i discovered what i am convinced is a very clear example of false religion.
