It's right there in our faces, how could we NOT see it?

by NikL in

i know there have been many many posts on here over the years on the deity of jesus.. i am submitting this one because i am feeling a little confused.. the thing is, i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer and i know this.

so when i am going through my bible reading (to all you haters, yes i still do it) i see so many scriptures that just fly in the face of everything the jws teach about jesus.. i begin to wonder if indeed i am diseased in the mind ,as they will try to paint me, because it seems so plain to me.. i never even gave it a though growing up as to if jesus and god were equal.

i just didn't.. now when i read scriptures like philippians 9.... 9 for this very reason, god exalted him to a superior position+ and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,+ 10 so that in the name of jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground+— 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that jesus christ is lord+ to the glory of god the father.. .

I checked the regulations for street vendors in my city. All street vendors, including those for only literature distribution, requires the operator to carry $2 million in liability insurance.

No wonder I have yet to see one here

kpop: Forgive me if this is not correct but am I the only one who finds it ironic that the JW .borg is made up of mostly minorities (20% white, 40% black and African, 10% Asian, 30% Latino) but is headed by a group of old white men? Jehovah has such a sense of humor!

But it is effective. In a country like Africa, it is a selling point. The religion becomes this all powerful collection of white gods who live really far away. It adds to their authority.

And the Glorious Ones pat themselves on the back for being the Perfect Paternal Protector. The charitable colonial corporate model in action.

dozy: Interesting to see "Fat Boy" Sanderson at the head of the table of the writing committee. Is he the chairman this service year ( unusual for the most junior of the GB members to hold such a prominent position? ) Or does he just need a bit more room to spread himself?

*snicker*

What happened to High School Dropout Jackson? The Translator Supreme One?

Maybe The Glorious Ones are a little concerned with their glorious image after Jackson's oh so public/humiliating appearance in Australia?

And just think of the money making opportunities that the glorious ones have provided to the flock by offering these tours of Jehovah's sacred throne! What a loving provision in these last days

http://www.jwalktours.com.au/index.html (just one of many)

JWalk Tours organises group travel for Jehovah’s Witnesses. This idea is for fellow believers to have a chance to travel with, and meet brothers and sisters from different countries, cultures and backgrounds.
Our main focus is Bible Land Tours, particularly Jordan and Israel. Besides the Bible Lands, we also put together a different tour every year. These tours are a once off but Bible Land Tours run regularly.
We will also be organising tours of the new headquarters in Warwick, as well as Wallkill and Patterson, in the near future.

fisherman, you are being a weasel.

I never said anything about these having to be criminal cases and neither did you.

The WT has settled numerous civil cases. Stay on track, buddy

Fisherman: Can you cite one case filed against the WT in the US where wt was found guilty of violating a mandatory child abuse reporting........

Hahaha!

Of course those are difficult to find. The Watchtower settles all of them before the court can make a judgement on the case!

How many did they settle a few years back? 17 cases or something like that, wasn't it? And all with gag orders attached.

Let's make a list of all the cases that the WT has settled before judgement. Now that would be informative and pertinent to this discussion.

fisherman: I do not have any authority to determine one way or the other

Why not? By whose authority?

Why can you not make a determination using your own brain?

Who said anything at all about outside authority?

Do you not have your own authority to make a decision?

Do you not own your own brain? Who owns your brain?

Who is your authority? Yourself? Or someone/something else?

RO: I am not sure if he meant that Bloodless surgery is when the person has no blood which is what he said or is it that it leads to the person having no blood. I am not sure. that is why I asked him to clarify that statement.

It was pretty simple.

Go back and read it again.

*hint...it isn't what Simon says
