IssacAustin..
My dad gave public Talks..
He was even invited to a Church to give one..Mid 1960`s
He and another brother went..My dad gave the talk..
Of course they never participated in Prayer or Song there..
When did preaching in another Church end,for JW`s?..
........................OUTLAW
Not sure Outlaw...I don't think it ended in print...but simply in practice.
yes snowbird i was accused of sending paul (i think was him?) a pm to make him feel guilty, i clearly defended myself and mentioned an apology as im forever having people conclude things about me when ive not even said that. Mouthy didnt wish to apologise....so i apologised to end any nasty taste before it started....yes i apologised, i'll apologise whether im in the wrong or not, afterall on this forum sometimes thats how an active jw has to be, and i truly truly dont mind because i love everyone and never wish to hurt anyone (as i told mouthy) AND dont wish to go through life fighting with people. We are all lovers of God.x
The absolute lack of reasoning is quite remarkable. It's the reasonings of a 10 year old.....just because. It's like gibberish, I really don't know how to bring my mind down to that level.
got to appologie Isaac - I'm not even on topic here - read the first 2 pages and my eyes felt they were on remote roll - not regarding your comments though.
We are all lovers of God.x
God cleans my toilets.
There, think I'm a lover of god? Just another LIE.
Its all good Loubelle. :)
I guess there really is not much to say on the GB not allowing its members to preach in churches...at least nothing of any substance that is not childish...since the GBs position itself has no basis other than their own interests.
AE said: At present we do the door to door work yet in Jesus day they went from village to village....no mention they knocked on doors, in those days there proberbly wasnt the need, yet no adays more people are at home.
My reply: Wow. I agree there is no mention whatsoever in the Bible of knocking on doors. What an admission- one that goes directly against GB teaching!
I thought this was a joke at first but I guess some are serious.
JW's use Acts 20:20 as a basis for the house to house work in which the scripture explicity mentions "house to house."
If I said I am going to John's house later today, it doesn't mean I am just going to go and stand on his lawn and stare at the house. I'll knock on the door, ring the doorbell or whatever the accepted method is to let him know I am outside.
Christ people, get a grip.
Rub a Dub
yh lol...i spoke to an elder lastnight at meeting...he said Acts 5v42 .. I said wow id forgotten, he smiled and said "yup, we all do, too many scriptures to recall them all." :)
LOL !
Acts 5:42 and 20;20 !!
How about act 2:46?
It's the same terms, "Kat'Oikos" and yet the WT translates 2:46 as "private homes", why is that AE ??
By the way house-to-house is only ONE translation of Kat'Oikov and not even the "best" one.
Some governing body dishonesty on this:
Acts 5:42:
42 And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
Acts 2:46:
46 And day after day they were in constant attendance at the temple with one accord, and they took their meals in private homes and partook of food with great rejoicing and sincerity of heart,
Both verses contain the IDENTICAL Greek word, rendered differently however. The GB wants Acts 5;42 to bolster their teaching on door to door so they render it as house to house and assert they disciples went knocking on each and every door to preach. However, the translate the identical term differently in 2:46...otherwise a JW could see that house to house does not necessarily mean knocking on each door in a row of homes. Obviously the disciples did not go to each and every door in a row of homes eating a meal and worshipping. it is specifically the homes of beleivers. Neither translation is incorrect. What the Wt is doing is dishonest, in tayloring the translation to make it fit their doctrine and making it teach what they want it to teach.
