in the simplified english edition of the july 15th, 2011 watchtower, in an article that warns jws about apostate influences, the following quote is given as a reason to stick close to the watchtower organization:.
"the organization has never disappointed us and always gives us an abundance of pure waters of truth from god's word.".
a scan of the page can be found here: http://www.jwfacts.com/images/watchtower-2011-jul-15-p12-apostates.jpg.
It can be interesting when someone ask a JW: -Is this statement true or false?: "never disappointed us" and then again,
true or false?: "always gives us....the truth..."
If he/she does not know its history, just show him/her this: (Proclaimers of Gods kingdom p633)
its been a tough 6 months for my jw hubby and myself.
next saturday is our anniversary.
i wasn't sure we would make it with the turbulance of the last 6 months.
I don´t see the problem with the cross. In "The Harp of God" in several places in that book it says that "Jesus died upon the cross" with this picture:

Sad to hear. If you are happy, he too should be be happy just seeing you happy.

it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

I wonder if that cartoon writer really did it "live", or if it has been edited afterwards....?!
what are the teachings of the jehovah's witnesses in regard to adam and eve?
i know that they believe the fall was a horrible, horrible mistake and that man was never intended to fall (despite god's foreknowledge).
does the atonement of christ cover their sins or are they to be destroyed after their resurrection?
The snake may symbolize the fallos. Eating the fruits may mean Adam and Eve had sex WITH orgasm. After that they fell.
Adam and Eve were maybe not two persons, but represented the males and females in a population. Maybe, or maybe not.
ooops i think i went and did it this time.
could i get in serious trouble over this?
i didn't go to the meeting on sunday, and lazed about the house instead and listened to a bit of the meeting on the phone.

How to "be there for them even when times get tought" if he/she gets DFS?
do they both lead people away from god?.
The similarity is maybe not so much in what they think, but the attitude itself. The "I know better than you who disagree with my point of view"- arrogant mentallity.

Phizzy, I found the definition here: http://atheistempire.com/atheism/atheism.php
It´s possible that Atheism and Religionism can, as you write, be like two opposing teams, just like black and white, yin and yang etc. Separated but maybe connected anyway. My limited experience with people from both sides, they have a lot in common; both are confident in their point of view, both think they "know", both claim that they have right and others with diffrerent point of views are wrong etc etc. If my understanding is correct, arrogance and pride have these features too.....

Actually I´m not interested in dictionaries. I don´t even have one. I have asked questions here, no claims that I know things, because I don´t.
But I like you Mr Cofty. Your modest and humble attitude, full of wisdom, is a bless to this world. It really is.
