It is to be noted that both Rolf Furuli and Gerard Gertroux are both Jehovah's Witnesses.
 

I still remember a dream I had as a very young child (I'd guess I was around 4 or 5 yo). I woke up in a panic.   It created great anxiety for years.  As an adult, I have reconciled the meaning (I can still see the images in my mind) and realize it was a way for my brain to process my inner emotions that I could not put into words.   Since the brain never sleeps and its attempting to create meaning and order to our experiences,  dreams can be useful to understand that process.  However,  I've had dreams where I wake up and go,  What the Heck!   I've had other dreams that scare the Heck out of me.   Years ago I took Melatonin to help me to sleep, but they caused terror nightmares.    Some other dreams I don't want to end since they are very pleasant.   

Well one reason would be the scrripture at Dan. 10:20-21 (You quoted partially.) The angel speaking here mentions the princes of Persia and Greece in the same breath as Michael "your prince". (the prince mentioned at Dan. 12:1). The context itself indicates to me that these "princes" are all spirit creatures and the angel speaking these words provides an insight on what is going on "behind the scenes" as it were.  Isn't that reasonable? 

I often cite myself for convenience to bring ideas into the pool the eyes are swimming in at the time, and not having to have someone scroll up , say, 15 posts to try and FIND the basis for my current reply, or idea. 
As has been demonstrated many many, many times over the past months when you attack something I have said, it is based on the fact that you did not even understand what I had said to begin with, and were ranting against your projected mis-interpretation of what you THINK I said.
I expect to be challenged on EVERY WORD I say, as  I disagree with almost everyone on almost everything ... so no problem with THAT ...
... but mashup false premises attributed to me can sometimes be avoided if I "use hand puppets and crayons" for that great majority of people who cannot visualize sentences, and therefore have low reading comprehension skills.
In grammer, as in real life, often  .. "Quod est necessarium, est licitum"
"That which is necessary, is legal".

Well, my opinion on that is different to yours. You can get pushed out for a lot of things that you would get pushed out in any other institution when you don't follow the rules you agreed to. But you make it sound like you get pushed out for having your own thought on something. But this is off topic here. It has been discussed elsewhere.
Of course, I'm with you on that one
I understand the definition is an opinion. But that's also discussed in another topic....

I rest my case ....

You seem to be unclear completely clueless on what constitutes proof, reason, and logic.
You have supplied NOTHING for consideration that even PRETENDS to be proof, or reason, or logic.
I suggest you get an outdoor hobby.

Every once in awhile ... even a blind pig finds an acorn.

@ImStrugglingBad I am so, so sorry you are struggling with this. 
My heart breaks for our young JW brothers and sisters that are struggling with their sexual orientation. There is little sympathy in the organization towards gay people, and it doesn't feel like the "Christian love" we always here about in the mags. 
But I want you to know that you ARE loved. Don't forget that. You are loved by God, and by me, and by so many other Christians! You are loved for trying so hard to do the right thing when giving in would be so much easier! That's something to be proud of! 
Throw your burden on Jehovah God. Don't worry about what others say. Lean on him alone. He can give you a power greater than human strength.

Thank you for posting such wonderful pictures.  I needed that after such serious conversation on other topics.  We are part of a WW Brotherhood, doing the same work.  We may have different personalities but we are united in love for Jehovah.

Dear Mr Ewing,
Thank you for your reply.   I really don't want to go verbal fisticuffs, so let me apologize for sounding and acting less than loving.   To explain myself, I come to this site to learn and be challenged by other's insights and knowledge plus the bantering about of ideas.  I like to learn from a variety of sources.   I appreciate the intellectual contributions from JWI, Ann, Anna, Melinda,etc  and the kindness I feel from Bible Speaks, Queen Esther,etc.. JTR clarified his position (I did ask him the same question I asked you sometime ago), I "get" him now and he makes me laugh and shake my head and makes me spill my coffee on my keyboard at times.   He's a character but doesn't take himself so serious (see my post regarding "happy pants").  He's a grumpy but likable guy and he loves dogs (which says a lot). 
That being said, I would love to know you and "get" where you are coming from.  You did explain your loyalties to GOD but I'm not sure which GOD ( the Jewish, Catholic, Mormon, etc) since you didn't use His name.  You mention the Watchtower, but I'm confused, are you for or against?  Is your position to draw people towards or away from the JW org using flaws in dating ( did I misinterpret what you were trying to do?). 
To be honest, fighting over dating  ( like the unrelenting prairie winds)  gives me a headache, can't see the point when the fruits of the JW organization are beautifully evident.   Producing good fruit is what Jesus taught and learned from his Father, Jehovah.    So if I came across as irritated ( not bitter) I was but I do apologize for that.   I just wanted to know YOUR honest intentions (it's still not clear to me).   If I'm in the wrong place, show me where I should be to find greater treasures than I now have.
May you have peace, joy and happiness in a world falling apart. Most sincerely -- SuziQ

Awh, shucks!  I think you made all that up!

Blue.  One of the biggest mistakes I made was marrying the wrong person for me but if I fix that then I wouldn't have my wonderful children.   The only thing I would change is I would have eaten healthier and exercised more.   I don't need $10mil to fix that problem, sooo,  now what to do with the money??   Oh I know,  I could buy JTR some happy pants!  

My "Happy Pants" are Levis  "blue jeans", ( with a dark blue long sleeve button down collar shirt.)
I wear a black suit to the Kingdom Hall,  but I feel like a dislocated Penguin, or an overdressed Paladin.
With 10 million dollars you could buy a good used helicopter and pilot training and fuel and maintenance.   That is as close to heaven as Ah would ever get!  (sigh....)

The  3  last  comments  I  love  so  much...  haha     THANK  YOU  DEAR  SISTER  SUZIQ1513   &  DEAR  BROTHER  JTR !!   You  are  honest  and  funny 

HAHA!   I see in your pic your "penguin" attire BUT your casual wear sounds like prison issuance wear.
