Mr NW has just come back in... Paul was not of the 'apostles' as he did not sit with Jesus at the Last Supper.... He was not in agreement with the 'elders' in Jerusalem, so if he also was ordained by holy spirit - why was he not in accord with them, because these men were directly ordained by Jehovah so supposedly all these ones would have the interests of the 'Kingdom' in mind? (Paul included) Again. the circumcision decision was also disputed by Paul... Paul comes over as a rebel within the Christian Congregation - and NW's brother states him as being the first anti-Christ? Could prove to be a very interesting topic (I agree with Billy) Mrs NW

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS' TEACHINGS & PAUL'S
by Mary inhas anyone noticed that alot of paul's ideas that are part of the scriptures contrast directly with jesus'??
paul said about fornicators, idolaters, etc.
that they should be booted out of the congregation and should be "treated as a person of the nation, or a tax collector" and that no one should "even say a greeting to him.

Very Interesting - I will have Mr NW post back to you (he is out at the mo) but his brother has some really interesting points on Paul - very thought provoking. Along the lines of your thoughts - now I am having to rack my brain to remember what we have spoken about with NW's brother. One thing - he never agreed with the 'body of older men' in Jerusalem - he seemed to be a law unto himself. He caused great controversy amongst the early christians. As I say I will have NW post back. Mrs NW

MYSTERY. Although he was shunned by certain people ,i guess that he found the power within himself to forgive them otherwise his life would hav been on hold ,he took back from the organization ,STRENGTH/COURAGE DIGNITY/FREEDOM OF SPEECH / He made a new life for himself he found a way back to god ,the j.w take your soul,they take freedom of speech and thought away from you , He is on the road to life he freed his mind,its the teachings of the j.w that lead many to there deaths,but they cant see all the false prophesys they pass out in gods name. His sisters allso have a lot to answer for allso,wanna know something even now they want feel guilty ,as they have been conditioned by the borg . Ringing his wife is not a thing to do ,let her grieve her husband in peace ,your only an old girlfriend as far as she is concerned ,sorry to be harsh but you know all you need to know and i am sure he knows how you feel,as you say you have a loving husband now you both need to stand by each other and try and forget the past but keep your memories.

Is it really so...????????????????????/
by petespal2002 inat the book study conversation turned to the importance of numbers and their symbolic use in bible texts.
the elder leading the study stated that he believed the number 7 was of such vital importance, that when the great crowd number 7,000,000 and the remnant 7000 the end will come.
any thoughts?
