  Wisdom in "the Word of God". Really? What Watchtower got wrong at this week's Congregation "Bible" Study.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the congregation "bible" study (cbs) for the week of december 29, 2014 to january 4, 2015 was taken from draw close to jehovah, pages 179-182, paragraphs 1-8.. paragraph 3 seems to be using the ancient jew's fear of jehovah's thunderous voice to justify the wisdom of him using moses to record and transmit his laws to the people.

  but there is an implied false dichotomy here.

  since god is supposedly almighty he is most certainly capable of giving a personal revelation of his requirements to every human in a clear, concise and unambiguous manner that they can fully understand and remember - without having to use his thunderous voice.

  The mega-ego that finds collective expression in the form of the GB, has a serious Moses complex.

  i can understand maybe wearing one of these out in fs, or at ca's & dc/ic, while out and about, but to the kh, come on who the heck are they trying to impress??

  it looks so stupid for half the congregation to be wearing these things at most of the meeting.

  oh and now when the circuit serpent, sorry servant, comes around it's even worse!!!

  Hey there stuck, you made it!

  Me thinks there have been a few minor teething troubles with the new site, but it should sort itself out.

  In response to a newspaper article that talked about the practice of shunning the spokesman for the WT Mr Vincent Toole ( that's not the funny part), stated (among other steaming piles) that "shunning is a myth ".

  Oh Vin, you jokester you!
