Quotes from the Watchtower that you agree with 100%

by nicolaou in

just curious.

add your quotes with no commentary if you like, it should be obvious why you agree.. the dangers of being deceivedthe really sad fact is that very often the person who is deceived or deluded tends to hold on to his belief in spite of strong evidence proving otherwise.

perhaps he gets so emotionally attached to his belief that he simply shuts his eyes and closes his ears to any evidence that might challenge it.. the watchtower, 01/09/ 2010 p10/11.

This week's Bible reading

by JustVisting in

this week's reading included exodus 25:2 where moses was to collect contibutions from those whose heart incites him to.

i commented on this verse and quoted from the watchtower 1879 where it says, "we will not beg or solicite funds...when jehovah fails to provide the necessary funds it will be time to suspend publication.

" mind you, this was the same meeting where the letter was read about the new donation "arrangement" was read.. comments anyone?.

There's a good quote from the insight book about this too. Could be good to use. . . .

Helpful Scriptural References - importance of Trust in God not Man

by objectivetruth in

psalms 118:8 - it is better to take refuge in jehovah than to trust in humans.. the scriptures are clear that jesus is the truth - the way - the life : john 4:6 - jesus said to him: i am the way and the truth and the life.

no one comes to the father except through me.

1 timothy 2:4 - whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

That's an interesting collection of scriptures, but you know what they'll come back with? "be obedient to those taking the lead", Jesus holds the congregations in his hands, so by supporting the people he's provided, overseers, as there were in the first century, we support Christ. How'd you balance that then?
