Bottom line is Apostate means accrding to the bible one who does not believe Jesus is the Messiah, period. All other deffinitions are made up to be used for purposes like the JW's use claiming thier version of apastacy. Thier version is actually Heracy but they cant use that word or they would sound to much like catholics. Paul in Phillipians said he did not care how or whom and by what motives the 'good news' was spread but just that is was. Unfortunatley the JW's miss this too spreading something else 'Gods kingdom and the name Jehovah. Like our friend Franz brought out, there are hundreds of mentionings about the good news which is christ but only 8 which refure to the kingdom. All in all the JW's just cant get much right not even the proper use of the word Apostate.

Symposium with a talk about "Human Apostates"
by Prime in"there is a symposium with a talk about "human apostates" that is very slanderous and defamatory and has the ex-jw blogosphere up in arms over it.".
if a person doesn't fit the description outlined in this talk, the talk isn't referring to you.. .

Old out-of-touch JWs using antiquated terms
by sir82 inever notice how completely out of touch some (most?
) public speakers are?.
last week we had a speaker ramble on for fully 1/3, maybe 1/2, of his 30 minute talk on the evils of "rap music".. i don't believe the term "rap music" has been uttered by anyone under the age of 40 for at least 20-25 years.. this week we got another "older gentleman" warning us about the pervasive dangers of "internet chat rooms".. again - didn't "chat rooms" die out about the same time as dialing up to connect to aol?.

When Is Armageddon? Really?
by Cold Steel inyeah, i know that it's been just around the corner for as long as there have been corners, but my question adds just a little different twist, and that twist is: is there anything (according to the gb) that needs to take place before armageddon?
or can it happen any moment?
and what will be the first signs of armageddon?
-
Crazyguy
Armageddon is a battle of those following Satan and the leaders of the world that do not want to give up power and live under Jesus rule. This is very much like Eygpt and the exodus. Pharoh and his armies against Jah. In the exodus a great crowd joined the israelites and left with them and the regular eygptians people were not killed.

So when the movie was about over and the Prodigal son returns back home to his loving parents i assume, did he have to live in an out side shed for a year and do yard work or something all the while being shunned by his parents ??

The Objectors have Taken Over
by Marvin Shilmer inthe objectors have taken over.
today i published a new article underscoring how far removed current watchtower leadership is from yesteryears leaders.
what got a person disfellowshipped by watchtower in 1981 is embraced by its current top leadership.

Who left or got stumbled over the 1995 generation thing?
by Julia Orwell inor the 2000's generation thing?.
how did you feel?
how did it help you wake up?

Crazyguy
Its amazing that anyone could ever buy into this crap 'This Generation' is very specific. Jesus didn't say 'a generation' or just 'generation' but 'This'. The bible in the early parts of Matthew and other books says 'so and so be-gought this generation and so and so had this generation and so on. Also when in the desert the Israelite were told the generation would not make it into the promise land. The Bible is very clear what a Generation is. If we were to apply the GB definition of what 'this generation' means to the Israelites of the exodus, they would still be wandering around in the desert today.

The Inflexible Pipe Dreaming Governing Body, New Boys, The Hands Of A Few Without A Clue,
by frankiespeakin inhere we have a completely dumbed down rank and file from which to choose leadership.
after years of a steady diet of misinformation/propaganda which demonizes the world in general and make going to college a cause for removal of priviledges, the brain drain must be enormous, with critical thinking at an all time low and the information age just starting to get in to full swing the future looks bleak for these ceos that run the corporation.
only black and white thinking allowed at the their board meetings, a bunch of yes men being surrounded by a bunch of rubberstamping yes men getting deeper and deeper entrenched in group think, nobody feels comfotable to speak their mind least the be labeled apostate and be burned at the stake/df'd.

What's really sad since it the blind leading the blind with anyone dissenting being killed so to speak, theres no hope just a car driving around aimlessly until it finally goes over a cliff. But theres no cliff, its in the flat lands so on it goes.

by Atlantis ini have to practice and get better at parallel parking or i am never going to get my license.
i can get the car in the space but i just can't seem to get it out of there without crossing the lines where your not suppose to go.
when you cross the lines it means if there was a car there you would have bumped it.
