  Did anyone see Jackson state "celebrating Christmas not a df'ing offence"?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have seen posts on several you tube sites stating that jackson said during his rc testimony that jw's don't shun, celebrating christmas is not a disfellowshipping offence, birthdays are ok and ones doesn't have to agree with jw doctrine.

  i have read most of the posts on other threads while and after his testimony but never read any of this?

  did he really say these things or is someone on the net just stirring up some bs?.

  hmm, why he say,

  'that is not my understanding',
  

  and no one reply, 'well then sir, what IS? your how old? you have how many years experience to make religious rules ? stop avoiding the question! '
  

  think about that statement... that is not my understanding... ,makes no sense to me.
  

  sounds so immature and petty, and so obviously
  

  evasive...

  ok so now, if questioned, or accused, everyone should take a lesson , lol
  

  'now [sister / brother ] you do realize your actions have led you to be in a position to be disfellowshipped...
  

  lets just say ' that is not my understanding...'

  Recently on JEOPARDY the answer was: "It's the most ACCURATE translation of the Holy Scriptures." No contestant replied so ALEX TREBEK said: "What is the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society" ~~~

  Is the two-witness rule really unreasonable?

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm picturing a situation in which a savvy 12 year old doesn't like the house rules that mom's new husband has put into place.

  or something along that line.

  i can certainly agree that protection of children is paramount, but who protects the real victim in those cases?

  Sure it is, it defies logic, something the bible seems to us to have lack of.
  

  if you study the situation of who the two witness rule applies to and why you will find it did not apply to everyone.

  this again, is a rule for the 'special' chosen nation, lol, not everyone else on the outside, we do not have to follow by the laws of a people we do not belong to, God never said we did. Jesus never said we did.
  

  someone on here has a pretty good explanation of that whole biblical situation comes from.

  DOES BELIEF IN THE BIBLE DESTROY ONE'S INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on information to be found at: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/when_dont_the_highly_educated_believe_in_evolution_the_bible_believers_effe/.

  the bible-believers effect.

  those who believe the bible is the word of god (bible believers) and those who dont believe the bible is the word of god (bible nonbelievers) differ in their beliefs that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.

  lol, possibly, I sure feel a lot less intelligent...

  and I don't believe any of it now.
  

  never too old to learn? of course not, but it matters little.
  

  I feel Im too old to gain any truly useful knowledge
  

  to largely improve the years left of energy I have.

  knowledge is simply a hobby in my life.
  

  whats knowledge of anything going to do for me now? [except maybe the stock market,lol]
  

  it wont add years to my life, nor make my life any easier.
  

  maybe this is why some simply get by on what little they know. its too emotionally taxing.

  Bible and Mentally Challenged, what does it say.

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  special olympics today here in los angeles, the smiles on those kids faces.. i wonder how were they viewed in jesus day, demon possessed.. it's strange how the bible omit some issues, like slavery and mentally challenged.

  folks.

  thank god for humanitarian..

  it says nothing, any one with an ailment in my opinion, from the viewpoint of ancient scripture was considered demonized.or sinful. id guess that was their explanation of a misunderstood illness. there seemed to be an awful lot of 'demon possessed' people back then. hmmm why not now?

  [I wonder what bug bite or bacteria from contaminated water might have causes so many people to act crazy. maybe rabies?]
  

  I have always strongly felt that mentally challenged persons should have never been required , expected or recommended to go door to door.
  

  along with the frail mentally declining elderly and children

  they cannot teach.

  after all, the bible does say, not all of you will be teachers.

  [ The last thing that would get me to follow a religion would be people with handicaps peddling magazines.]
