39I need help when answering proof of WT being only religion
by DS211 inok so i have already been talked to about this and i always have difficulty finding a retort.
my friend/elder condtantly tells me to visit bethel to prove its gods org--efficient, obedient, loving place, yadda yadda.
and he also uses how many go out and preach the same message, how no matter where you go youll get the same loving treatment, follow the bible as best they can (ha), show lots of love, do t celebrate pagan holidays, etc etc.

Crap....help please
by DS211 inso tonight my wife looked iver the wt for tomorrow.
she said what she got out of it was that apostates are negative murmurers who can cause you to question jehovah and his earthly org and that it reminded her of the negativity caused when i told her i read ray franz's book.
she said it caused me to question service, family worship night, and praying together.

My bible study last night...holy hell
by DS211 inso last night was my weekly bible study with my wife my friend/elder and his wife.
well like many still asleep the first thing that we talked about was what intrested us about the agm..so the elder goes into the things like how exciting it is and loves all the added crap in the appendixes and the info in the front beause its straight from gods word.
i thought "didnt someone say you shouldnt add anything or take anything away?

Sometiing interesting from John 1 in rev. NWT
by DS211 inso i think theres quite a bit to take from the agm.
there are many things of interest and no doubt removing mark 16:9-20 and john 5:58-8:11 is going to get serious criticism.
but i noticed in john 1:3 that jesus now created all things.
