christ's bride is 144,000 virgin men.
say no more..nudge nudge.
if you go to the official jw website and look up wt 1957 5/1 pages274-275 you will see the jw teaching.
from paragraph 5:.." paul identifies jehovah's wife as his invisible universal organization.
the mother of christ and of his joint heirs.
christ's bride is 144,000 virgin men.
say no more..nudge nudge.
i also think Mr Jackson's beard suits him--in fact--he almost looks human.
so when was jesus begotten.
was he truly and wholly fully human.
did he exist in two states, part human part god.
Jesus was body, soul and spirit. His soul & spirit were perfectly in tune with the Fathers law & will. His body didn't need to be perfect, nor could it be. His body became perfect when it was "glorified" in the resurrection. It is that soul & spirit that had pre-existance with the Father.
AAAh--soul.
and you know all the above--how ?
to all those on this students on this forum, i would love to know what your view is?.
"we just dont know "
i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.
i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.
amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.
Maybe the bible thumpers on here can quote the chapter and verse in which the congregation is told not to eat with--or greet--an unrepentant wrongdoer who calls himself a brother ?
the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.
.
so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.
I remember the WT released a book:- " Things in which its impossible for god to lie ", a pale green colour--?
We called it the Things book--or rather the Impossible book privately.
Which begs the question--" if there are things in which it is impossible for god to lie----then are there other things in which he does lie ?
what’s keeping them?
this has got to be the latest it’s ever been.
maybe it’s the last one they’ll ever publish too, after dropping reporting hours for publishers ….
i confuse publisher and publican

i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
its very reassuring reading all these bethel boy stories on here--the main ex jw forum. It says a lot.
As its now 2024 i thought i would bump this thread if there are any new UK members browsing.
