  How Jehovah's Witnesses benefit those humble enough to study the Bible with them.

  excellent material can be found within the reasoning book, page 328, para.2, 3. occasionally, i see posters make presumptuous comments like, "all you need is the bible", or, "i'm born-again, so there's no need for spiritual assistance from another christian", or,"i'm saved", or my favorite, "jesus talks to me directly.

  " on one hand, i can't be overly critical of such ones because they do attempt to read and understand the bible on their own.

  (acts 17:11) not to mention they're generally peaceable folks, just self-misguided when erroneously believing that they can go it alone.

  Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped

  a thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.

  i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.

  i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

  Wow Thanks for the updates. Is the Conti Lawyer taking the cases of the victims to sue Watchtower?

  Well done Paul. Did he reply?

  You have a style of writing that clearly shows no hard feeling or bitterness. Great stuff.

  if you could teach me one thing to convince me not to believe what would it be?

  for instance what has the wt taught about evolution/science or mans existence that is wrong and could possibly change skmeones mind?

  and the more important question, why is it a creator couldnt allow for species to evolve?

  Here's a video explaining the proper way:-adam

  LOL! This thread is not about Jewish hand washing.

  Lemme guess: your family was reform Jews?- adam (you miss spell "let me") But no I was not in a Reform sect of Judaism. There are probably 5,000 different Ordthodox sects worldwide. I was not in an Orthodox sect either. I have family who are in a range of different Ordthodox sects.

  The tradition of hand washing will be in the Talmud or Mishna I forget now. But it is an oral law. The point being there is no "proper" way to execute this stupid nonsense ritual. I haven't watched your video, but to many sects of Orthodox Jews they would conclude this man is a Reform Jew by his attire. I persoanlly don't give a smurf what he wishes to label himself.

  Doctors hand washing technique is the proper way to wash hands.

  Adam, How will this help DS become an atheist?

  Her god could not be more different from Einstein's.-cofty

  I agree, as individual free thinkers we all define God in our own unique terms. There cannot be any rigid definition we are all unique and in control of our own free thinking.

  Well said cofty, Love Kate xx
