if we eliminate all the controversial and confusing verses attributed to jesus we will get the crystal clear truth from him because his source was (1) god which can be seen from his habit of early morning talking to god in prayer (mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2) which would not have been for material blessings (mathew 6:8; 16:24), and (2) also observance of people.. 1) jesus who said judgment is based on whether we acted humanely or not (mathew 25:31-46) would not have spoken about god’s people and pagans (which means bulk of the things found in gospel had not been spoken/done by jesus).. 2) another important truth he said was about the real key to our happiness which he said is with each one of us.

(luke 17:21).

from his observance of history, he knew there are people from adversities who made great contribution to the world; and there are people from all abundance who lived a life of wastage accomplishing nothing; and there are people who are mixed in varying degree.

Thanks for visiting, but this is a discussion forum - we're not here to listen to your preaching.

And sanity has been restored :)

Help Elders poking nose in

by Formerbrother in

jw
friends

what can i do when elders want to poke their nose in?.

they want to have another chat with me and my wife, but we dont want to, it just gets us down..

_Morpheus

All I want is for them to leave us alone, they keep saying they want to help, I wish there was a polite way to say the best way to help is to leave us alone

There is... “the best way to help is to leave us alone”. See? Thats as polite as possible when someone is aggressively hounding you after being asked to stop. Freedom isnt free. Being mildly assertive is a small price. Just tell them to leave you alone. Its really that simple.

Will the Watchtower Company in the near future start asking for a tithe?

by Sour Grapes in

it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.

tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.

under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.

_Morpheus

Of course they wouldnt. They commit suicide willingly by refusing blood. They disown family because 3 elders decided their son or daughter wasnt repentant enough for a roll in the hay. A few bucks a month is nothing.

Exactly. But i believe they would do an individual tithe before they let the org fold.

I have said they will for a while, although the current kh “loan” scam is a form of tithe as it is

Organization Updates for POMOs?

by charonsdog in

i've been physically out since early 2014. before that, i was mentally out for a long period of time.

now, having zero contact with family or former friends, plus living in a southeast asian country where it is possible to not ever see a jw.

since i have discovered this site, i'm learning lots of things about the organization that i wasn't aware of before.

They didnt shun him, they sold him into slavery.

Scholarly interview on the existence of Jesus

by careful in

perhaps this has been linked here before.

if that's the case, i'm sorry.

however, new people join, others miss things, some forget, so i thought it was worth posting, especially since this issue comes up from time to time and some here have never worked it out or are in the process of trying to do so.

Similarly, behind the details all the branches of religion we see the essence:All great religious figures such as Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed …were sent by God to restore the remembrance of God which would help people to be good citizens of their respective countries. Hence what they spoke was truth beneficial for the people in their respective contexts.

This is a direct copy and paste from another post you made, venus. Any original ideas or are you just regurgitating tripe?
