Beth Sarim (Hebrew for 'House of the Princes'😉 was a ten-bedroom mansion in San Diego, California, constructed in 1929 in anticipation of various resurrected Old Testament biblical patriarchs or prophets such as Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah and Samuel. It was maintained by the Watch Tower Society, the parent organization used by Jehovah's Witnesses, and was also used as a winter home and executive office for Watch Tower president Joseph Franklin Rutherford.
I would imagine the JWs have quite a few 'only's' ... mostly embarrassing 'onlys' at that 😀
Originally posted by SuzianneI disagree. I'm not aware of any baggage we have. It's non JW's that make the issues that all get worked up about, it non JW's that get all worked up about our beliefs.
But, like all organized religion, you bring your over-abundant baggage with you, and that gets in the way of heart-to-heart discussion.
The truths in the bible are easy to see and easy to understand.

Jesus himself say if your eye is simple (focused), your whole body will be bright, but if
its distracted (so many issues) it will be detrimental to ones spirituality?

(1 John 2:18-19) . . .Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as you have heard that
antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists; from which
fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they
were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with
us. But [they went out] that it might be shown up that not all are of our sort.

-Removed-one teaching you have revised and refined, just one and you could not do it, it makes
a mockery of your statement, learn from God. We dont have any issues, I love being
a Jehovahs witness, its awesome, you've never been one and have so many issues
related not to being one, its like a kind of bad joke gone wrong.

-Removed-we are awesome, we help people big time over come all manner of problems, that's awesome.
No you couldn't join tomorrow, you need to study and agree with our beliefs, if you
dont, you cannot join. This takes time and effort and can last from anything up to a
year or two depending upon the students aptitude for learning. Once you started to
apply the knowledge then you would become awesome.
Nah mate, i really do think we are awesome, so many beautiful people, just trying
their best to live up to Biblical standards.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes that is true. The Bible speaks of many that would listen and even get involved but then wither away like the weeds along the roadway.

So for many to leave either voluntarily or buy being disfellowshipped by conduct that God condemns, it only fits with scripture.
But Rajk is too blind to understand anything the bibe is clear about, isn't he?
