  16-20. we shall also have to raise up against him seven shepherds, yes, eight dukes of mankind.mic.

  what is the most important thing that you can do now to prepare for any future attack on gods people?.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. .

  Blip! The radar has blipped. I'm on it. 'chat' booked in for Sunday.......

  a young, progressive, kind elder wants to have a chat with me on sunday after the meeting.

  we've talked before and been quite open about the judgemental attitudes 'we' have as witnesses, and he was completely in agreement, stating that he's never understood the beard thing among other issues, and wants to see the society moving forward by change..

  i've no doubt he just wants to encourage me to up my hours or reach out again, but it's nerve wracking, as i know i'll say something i'll regret.

  at the meeting last night i was approached by an elder and he asked me what my schedule was like for the next week or so.

  i told him im not sure ill have to tet back with him and i asked why and he said kindly but in an odd sort of way "for a visit".

  my wife and i have not gone out in field service and have been missing meeting left and right mostly due to sickness and family.

  To the gullible jw who beleive (worship) the GB

  by bobld in

  in this weeks wt study p20 para 17 the gb directive in part says "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive,whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not".

  it behooves me,how anyone would obey such an organization,when you were told to preach and exhort people with a message(bible doctrine) for over a hundred years(and not question the message or the gb) only to find out the message was false.see wt july 15,2013 p8.-great tribulation did not begin in 1914.judgement of the sheep and goats did not begin in 1914.jesus arrival to appoint the faithful slave did not occur in 1919.wt 1984,1914 the generation that will not pass away.. in your clean christian conscience are you willing to obey such a vacillating organization.the proper thing to do is resign from this organization.

  go apolize to the people for misleading them with a false message(doctrine).go preach the true gospel of jesus christ..

  today my mom called me three times at work to tell me how "worried" she was about my spirituality.. i so wanted to tell her some ttatt but just said, "mom, i am fine spiritually.

  if i am ever in trouble spiritually, i will tell you.

  meanwhile, i would really appreciate it if you left my relationship with god a private matter.".

  my wife expresssd to me as we watched a movie that she really loves how those in christianity dont have to meet requirements to become baptised.

  she stated the it seems morenin line with the scriptures.
