although i know i'm not the worst writer in the world i feel i could improve tremendously.
anyone know of a good, simple, "only the facts ma'am" book on how to improve one's grammer and style?
any suggestions from the peanut gallery on things you notice which are grammatically incorrect in my growing legion of posts?

does anyone think that the rule which states that "associating with a disassociated person is a disfellowshipping offense" was created to disfellowship ray franz?
the reason i ask this is because i noticed that the watchtower published many articles with that rule at the same time period franz left bethal, but published nothing about it before around 1981.
According to WT standards, Jesus would be shunned or expelled!

i'm testing my hypothosis here.... the question is this.... "does the wt org.
get special revelations from god today.".
if they answer "yes," then they are going against the bible which says that all scripture is complete.. if the say "no," then we can say, "then why do you say we should follow you.".
They say,the 'Spirit' guides them. If the Spirit is windlike, then, in what direction is the wind blowing these days?

since mere words do not suffice and personal experience is just that.and since the act of knowing,reaching and touching god defies all words,and one has never had that personal experience,what then?.
do life and death questions remain unanswered and answered if you believe in a belief system based on the written word of others and then your own leaf of faith?.
since there have been centuries of change in the social,political,language,geographical and religious fields and schools of thought,the current bible is incomplete,many books have been deleted from it in order to preserve the church's power.the most glaring purge was at the ecumenical council of 325ce.. there isn't much left to answer the question except death itself.we buried my brother yesterday and i wonder if he finally has his answer.. blueblades
BB, sorry to hear the news, I live in a community that is mostly related, death is very common, in fact, my older brother is on his death bed and were just waiting for him to pass away. His kidneys have shut down.
The question you ask is personal. JT gave a good answer, "Everything you need Blue, is within you. But only you can discover that. Only you."
