This reminds me of a chapter in I think Jerimiah where he, Jerimiah, is telling the people to put away their worship of Ashurah and worship only Jehovah. Their response is no way when we do things for her and worship her good things happen when we worship Jehovah it's implied that nothing good comes from it.

July Broadcast - Bible Teach book and Keep Yourselves In Gods Love book
by pale.emperor ini didn't manage to last the whole broadcast.
it was so unbelievably boring that i only managed halfway before i switched it off.
in this broadcast anthony morris iii (who i affectionately call "the don") stresses to us the importance of studying - not one - but two of their publications in order to understand the bible.

Russell said the same thing with out his books you would go back to Christian think back into darkness. Now no ones reading his old out dated books. Yet the GB is still using his propaganda techniques to keep their followers inslaved.

Why I think the Trinity doctrine is an irrelevant talking point with JWs, and what I believe could be a better approach.
by Island Man inthere are no authentic/uncontested bible verses that prove a trinity.
the trinity doctrine is arrived at by inferences - not unlike the way that jws arrive at the doctrine that jesus is michael the archangel.
the jw proof texts against the trinity are at least as strong, if not stronger than, trinity proof texts.

The New Testament was clearly designed to promote jesus as the new god to be worshipped. The trinity was a later idea, that's why one can find scriptures that clearly show no trinity as well as other that seem to imply it.
In Acts I believe Jesus name is above all other names , john all one has to do is believe in Jesus, in romans profess Jesus and your saved. Nowhere in the New Testament does any one have to profess or exalt or worship the father to have life.

Bottom line be careful, a friend of mine wife separated from him on grounds he wasn't spiritual enough or taking enough of the lead. The elder were on her side. He was later dfd because he told them he had a friendship with a female friend at work , nothing physical but they said it was unbecoming of a Christian. So in the end they let her do what she wanted and dfd him for doing nothing!

Evolution is a Fact #40 - What Use is Half an Eye?
by cofty increationists often refer to the words of darwin when he pondered the evolution of the complex eye.
he said that to suppose that the complex eye evolve by natural selection seems "absurd in the highest possible degree".
what they always ignore is that darwin went right on in the very next sentence to propose how the eye could have evolved and that numerous gradations must exist between the simplest light detecting organs and the complex vertebrate eye.. in the 150 years since darwin published his book not only have those gradations been discovered in the natural world but the very genes that build the eye have been discovered by science.

Do you have an article on leftovers of body parts from when the human animal was something else? I have seen some talked about on YouTube but have also seen some pretty good rebuttals.

Last Memorial Experiences
by NoviceLocs14 ini'll share mine first.... i had never missed a memorial for at least a quarter of a century of my life.
i was kind of raised to believe that missing the memorial was a sin in itself.. by 2013 memorial season, i was missing most of my meetings (even though i was still technically part of my foreign language congregation), and i had just come off the pioneer list.
i still made plans to attend the memorial (god forbid if i missed that lol).. i knew that typically our memorials were around 9 pm, since we usually got last priority (being a foreign language hall and all).

What's crazy is in the Bible there's a provision for someone to do the memorial at a later date if he could not do the first date. You were running around all over the city for nothing but of course you were never taught this. Now that your an atheist you see the stupidity in all of it! I found out it was a copy of a Osiris cult practice.

I did a stopped going to meetings as I research and was waking up also work kept me busy. talked to the elders a bit about a couple of subjects and was going to DA. Changed my mind , was publicly reproved and went to one or two meetings after thAt then quit. My wife was thinking I was going to come back until a friend told her I told her that I was fine do to some things I learned. I don't remember if I told the friend this exactly but may have told her about all the child abuse.
Know one comes around and only speak to me if they have to. No friends at all. They came around for the wife to support her for awhile but that has died down. The wife and kids go to most meetings. I'm treated pretty much like the odd man out and I don't matter much to the wife anyway.
If I were you if you can't wake up the wife and depending how old the kids are I would stay in and try to wake the kids and even the wife over time. Bible study showing problems as well as going over the history of the cult I think can help to wake someone up.
Writting to others is a waste of time they make excuses even if your points are valid.
