  Winnesses of ME (Jesus)...Acts 1:8...NOT Winnesses of Jehovah

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so jesus said in acts 1:8 .... you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you,+ and you will be witnesses+ of me in jerusalem,+ in all ju·deʹa and sa·marʹi·a,+ and to the most distant part* of the earth.. .

  witnesses of jesus and not jehovah.

  so i was a witness for years.

  Did you folks ever realize that Isaiah 43:10-12 applied to Spiritual

  Israel only according to Rutherford's Theology

  Where does Spiritual Israel go when they die?

  Heaven

  In 1931 everybody was confessing that designation

  So, today, we have 8 million "Jehovah's Witnesses"

  Really?

  Are they Spiritual Israel?

  A little confusing isn't it

  The name is defunct except for under 20,000 good folks

  Rutherford was a little short sighted I think

  (I wonder who of 8 million "Witnesses" have thought about this :) )

  PS Don't you SARCASM love religion lol

  What I'm getting from David_Jay's last comment is that it has historically

  been a serious mistake to take accounts/stories from the Torah literally,

  To some degree Catholicism agrees with you

  Accounts such as the Noah-sian Deluge are generally treated as allegory

  The suggestion was made to treat such stories much as one might with

  Aesop's Fables,

  I am in agreement

  Cheers

  Can you live with your self?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think if we are to fully delight in life we must live without detachment.

  because when we become attached to a beliief we feel a desire that we are right.

  the problem with being right, even if we are right is that our beliefs then try to attach themselfs to virgin snow, and change people to our thinking.

  I believe you're saying that theological process is of secondary

  importance

  It's positive results that count,

  To paraphrase John "If I say I love God but am hating my brother I am a

  lier"

  Or in other words maybe "If you can't put up shut up!" Lol

  Cheers,

  Hi Yesu

  Regarding whether these men died from a divine act

  As I recall from memory

  (I could be making mistakes here)

  David was given the choice of three punishments

  And he chose the scourge because that way the deaths would

  be from Yahweh

  His thinking was somehow there might be less of a toll

  Again I would encourage you to read over the chapter to get the correct

  story

  But indeed it was Yahweh (Jehovah ) that killed these men

  for the sin of David

  These men were innocent

  Best Regards

  Tepid

  PS May I suggest looking into why Yahweh personally slaughtered

  70,000 innocent men after David disobeyed him by taking a census

  1 Chronicles 21

  Your question of course can only be answered by someone who believes

  in a God of justice

  But primarily by someone who believes that the Bible is more than a

  collection of fiction

  I suggest that if you start to collect a number of these incongruities

  You might want to revisit your position on points one and two

  In the meantime, much success in your theological journey

  The search for El Shaddai :)

  Are there any doctrines which all Christian religions follow.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i cannot think of a single doctrine that is so clearly laid out in the bible that every christian sect teaches the same point.

  are there any doctrine where there is total consensus amongst all christian religions, including jehovah's witnesses?.

  Regarding neutral gender I have developed the following:

  People are "neutroids"

  Instead of he and she for instance we have "ne"

  "nim" instead of her or him

  Etcetera

  There is a petition in the lobby as you exit

  Thank-you

  No one cries

  My mom was jacked up on pharmaceuticals at Dad' funeral so she

  wouldn't cry

  They generally believe that crying shows a lack of faith

  For my Dad who was in since 1950

  Bro forgot his life info/story

  So just the propaganda part

  No apology

  Crap thing could've been for anybody,

  Family friend came up to me after and said

  "This is wrong Tepid, you should go up and talk about your father!"

  Considered it but I was a little distraught to gather everybody

  back together and give an impromptu talk,

  This "Thing" dehumanizes

  It's sick,

  An important reason that I'm out!

  I know we all have our stories here

  Thanks for listening to one of mine

  Occupations that will disappear

  by joker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while growing up in the cult one thing that always bothered me was the way witnesses could forecast jobs/occupations that we're going to vanish in their new world.. for example, we would usually discuss at saturday night wt studies how doctors, nurses, funeral directors, and soldiers would go the way of the dodo.

  i always found discussions like that just so strange.. in hs, i mounted an unsuccessful effort to enter veterinary sciences, the big answer was always "why" it won't be needed after armageddon 😝😜.

  does anyone have their own story about professions that the witnesses believe will not be needed after the big a ?.
