Pinku,
The OP had no substance IMO. Are you starting a thread about spititism or truth? I would say your topic title is deceptive.

seeing various/changing laws on the same action, some may feel truth is relative, and there is no such thing as right and wrong.. yet a closer look at beneath the details would show that truth is not relative, and everyone knows what is right and wrong.. driving in the night by putting the head-light off is wrong, but right when country is in war with another country.
behind both the conflicting laws, the truth is same: safety and welfare of the people.
this is true of notion about what is right and wrong:.

Nice photo's nic, I bet you're glad you're awake. Kate xx
a lone guy casually dressed with no tie knocked on the door and my son took him for a salesman , didnt answer the door and he soon left , he also noticed he put something in our letterbox as he left.. checking it out it was a flyer for the jehovahs witness convention which is a good 4-4 and a half hour drive from here where i live.. do they honestly think a householder who lives close to 4-5 hours away is going to go to a religous convention , when they have continously rejected the message in their own home town ?.
ok , so they are thinking , its advertising the convention to a far wider community in the state..... excuse me ?.
this particular convention is being held at etihad stadium in melbourne in oct.what has happened in previous conventions around australia , newspapers print special edditions to assemblys covering such conventions , however the rest of the state gets zero exposure to the assembly.. however the gullible rank and file think what a grand witness has been given with all this publicity .
even in places that are 12 hours away by car from the venue!-Stuck
Wow that is so unbelieveable. It's rediculous to expect anyone to do this, the invitations are quite clearly just advertising and have nothing to do with wanting the general public to be saved and come to learn about the true religion. If God wanted people to learn he would make it easier.
On the Mount of olives, before Jesus gave his famous sermon, he healed the sick so they were comfortable and could listen. That's if you believe the account, but by any stretch of the imagination, inviting strangers to a venue so far away is not spriritally productive.

it just dawned on me that one of if not the most deceptive thing that the wt convinces the members of is that the truth does not stand up to investigation.
they teach that lies trump truth.
the reality of course is something entirely different.
I agree, I remember coming to a similar conclusion about asking questions. Chapter 1 of the Bible Teach book encourages students to ask questions, but low and behold if a JW questions doctrine they are an apostate. Total deception.

actually it turns out that we are neither.. this is one of 7 myths about your brain that are debunked in the following short science alert video.. ....
Thanks cofty for the video, very interesting, I missed it when it was forst posted. Glad it was bumped. I still think I am left brained though, but I grasp that I probably use all my brain most of the time. Kate xx

No one has suggested Liverpool. It's famous for the Beatles and football has lovely beaches, and fabulous architecture. Kate xx
this looks interesting, this guy is bringing the right to family life into his case.
many have thought of doing this.
maybe a good test case.. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/jehovahs-witness-sues-for-150000-after-church-snubbed-him-over-fraud-claims-9750062.html.
For deformation of character case to get into national papers and into court is an achievement. As far as the innocence of fraud is concerned that's a separate matter.
I hope this gets more press.

joe, sorry, you'll have to eat some humble pie.. .
thank you so much for the poster on extj.com who sent these pics!!
can't have been better!!.
Nice find, thanks for the pics. This is more evidence that WT is not united in worship and some can do things others cannot and get DF'd for. Kate xx
the new young blood gb member, you think he really thinks this is the truth or is he protecting his financial interest like all the older gb members who enjoy basking in glory of men?
do you think they believe in the "over-lapping generation" or was that a mistake done by barr?.
how much of the watchtower and the bible do the governing body know, ray franz jr. said he was not impressed with their bible knowledge and their lack of knowledge of the watchtower cannon.
I don't think the GB truly believe in the power of holy spirit because they vote and change things if there is a 2/3 majority. That is relying on their own man made descisions, if they relied on God they wouldn't vote. They enjoy their life style and try and convince themselves it's Jehovah's blessing.
With the amount of letters wirtten to all the Bethels around the world there is no way the GB think it's all real, no way.
