I tend to see it as Jesus did.
I wasn't born into the JWs...I married a young JW man, and things went from there. That was about two years ago now (not long, I know, it makes me sound so indesciseve) I joined onto the PC because of the loving atmosphere I felt there, (plus my hubby too was there, not anymore mind you, but that's a different tale to tell) and that's where I saw your postings but a few days ago. I was intrigued (normally I'll admit, I skim over long posts because it's usually the same old same old, as JJ so wonderfully put it. And it was like 
. I don't really know how to describe it other than that, lol. Thanks for sharing.draconian wrote:...Well, Donald to answer your question first
So yeah, that's the story in a nutshell that lead me here, lol.
LOL
that made him feel a bit bad about asking them he ceased posting. He'll still watch from time to time, but it's pretty rare. 
once again when I was a kid. I've thought about getting baptized properly again in a more spiritual faith sense other than to an organization or religion. Sounds weird, I know, but that's my story, long and rambling as it is. 
Oh I see. Sorry to hear that. That kind of stuff makes you mad when you hear it...rubs you the wrong way.draconian wrote:He can still log in and everything, but he had some "controversial questions" that he asked and after he got some replies
He was asking about the way the Bible is translated, and asking about what could possibly have been lost in translation. People don't seem to like to think that what they are reading may be wrong or missing something because of a language shift.Donald C. Burney wrote:Oh I see. Sorry to hear that.

Now, you really got my curiosity.
I wonder what was the gist of the questions, and why they got so angry with him?
Does he still go to the kingdom hall, or are there things that he doesn't like about the way the WTS does things these days?
agape,

:study2 Oh I see. Well, this is good he has "kept his faith" despite all of things he is seeing around him. I'm sure your studious example has helped him also, in staying the course and maintaining his balance.draconian wrote:...He was asking about the way the Bible is translated, and asking about what could possibly have been lost in translation.

He does sometimes still go to the KH, not as often as he once did, but since we have no vehicle coming and going is difficult. But he does still study, and talk to people and study with people, and...well, he's not that happy with the WT...mainly because he's caught them in too many lies. Can't say I blame him, but he always says that the word of Jehovah and the word of man is two very different things, and so has kept his faith despite, unlike some who fall away completely.

...which the list goes on and on. 
..lol. They [Society] claim you cannot have a relationship with Jehovah without them [Society]. 
That may be true for the ones who actually worship THE SOCIETY. 
But not for me either! 
as I found out in the last few year and since I professed to being one for sooooooooooo many years. 
It was the thread about Romans 5, which was a scripture I myself had wondered about. I followed that thread quite avidly, and followed the few links put up onto PC.Littleleslie wrote:Draconian-
So you say you found our postings "intriguing"? That's great.
Was there anything specific about the thread on PC that motivated you to check it out further?

Also thank you MM and Don for those wonderful links, they are definitely food for thought.
Those are definitely "solid food-type" articles...spiritual food for thought!
