One Thing I Don't Get About Brexit

by JW_Rogue in

how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?

and with only a simple majority required?

in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.

The Divine Son of God, God Incarnate, Lord, Redeemer, and Saviour of the World

by Doug Mason in

before jesus was born or even if he had never existed—another human being was already proclaimed son of god and, indeed, god incarnate within the same first common-era century and within the same mediterranean world.

in fact, almost all the sacred terms and solemn titles that we might think of as christian creations or even pauline inventions were already associated with caesar augustus, the first undisputed ruler of the roman empire, from 31 bce to 14 ce.. augustus was divine, son of god, god, and god from god.

he was lord, liberator, redeemer, and savior of the world—not just of italy or the mediterranean, mind you, but of the entire inhabited earth.

Actually Im about to post a video on the Gospel of Peter and why in the 70s ce some educated men felt Titus might have been the messiah...

I do not believe in a historical Jesus other then possibly the street preacher in War of the Jews... but even him I doubt...

Lurking JWs: Do people really need to know and use the word "Jehovah" or other language equivalents, to truly know God?

by Island Man in

watchtower puts forth the argument that you can't really know god unless you know and use the appellation "jehovah" or its equivalent in other languages.

is this really true?

i say it's not true and i will demonstrate to you why.. god's name is not a mere label that we have to use to communicate with him so that he knows we're talking to him.

Vanderhoven7 Yes... but other translations like the Hebrriac Roots Bible add Yahweh more to the NT... JW are modest in a way here

Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

by Perry in

the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

whatever begins to exist had a cause.

therefore the universe had a cause.

Perry: Lawrence Krauss wrote a book on this very subject.

Don't Want To Be At The RC This Year...

by JW_Rogue in

the whole time i'll just be thinking about what effect all those crazy loyalty videos will have on my family.

i can venture to guess that they'll be wound up and determined to "stay loyal" because this "is the truth" and "this system can't last much longer".

i have to go because not doing so would raise too much suspicion but i'm really dreading it.

I'm hard of hearing. I brought a little Kaito Radio that does AM/FM/SW etc. Well I can tune to the hard of hearing frequency.... BUT.... often I find a nice FM radio station to listen to and even my wife doesn't know lol

If WWI Had Not Started In 1914

by JW_Rogue in

would jws ever have arisen the way they did?

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Probably... Didn't WWI star in July?..... Satan was kicked out in October... Jesus was late ..lol

They would have spun something. And JWs sprung more out of Russel's death them WWI

Confronting the elders with doubts

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i have already posted how i outed to an elder.... the only results were that another elder mentioned to me: "i heard you have doubts about the truth will you meet with us and clear it up... i also had doubts... i fixed them i can help.

" laughing inwardly i said sure.. oh i'm going to slaughter this moron.

when he asks my doubts i will show him the chromosome #2 video with ken miller.

I realize its hitting a brick wall. But I'm hoping I can at least leave them with something even if they at first will not acknowledge it.

Thanks for all the responses.

Crazyguy yes that's the point. The Hebrew in the bible is too late to have been written by Moses. in 1500 BCE we can just as well say the Hebrew of the bible did not exist.

Philo and Jesus I'm currently working on. However from what I have seen in the past he pinpointed that a cosmic savior would be named Jesus.

(To add to the fact that he was in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus and never mentions him.... mentions everyone else but... never heard of the miracle worker or his death and resurrection.)

Scenic: Yes They likely will give up.That is what is sad. I only mentioned 5 points. There are MANY more things I could throw in. One of the elders claims he had a lack of faith and using outside sources built his faith back up. I'm waiting for the full story.

Use of Tablets During Meeting

by Simon Templar in

as i seem to remember, in april 2010 i bought one of the first ipads.

i saw the virtue of using it immediately.

it was wifi.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

I always ued my tablet since 2013 summer when I noted several witnesses at conventions use them. I already knew God, bible, JWs was crap but this was cool... lol... So I brought one and used it during the summer. An ultra-righteous missionary friend of mine said:" You need to use the printed bible not the devil's version".

However after October 2013 with the JW app in 2015 I asked if he had a tablet: I'm saving for it.. I need time." What a devil lol.
