Jesus had to die? Really?

by punkofnice in

i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.

couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.

i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.

moomanchu

According to the JW's 2 wrongs make a right.

Adam's sin + the killing of Jesus = Forgiveness and redemption for man.

I never could quite resolve that picture of Jesus and Adam on scales equaling out to justice to God.

I forget what pub. that was in.

did you have some green beer?

maybe some scotch whiskey?

i also baked a chocolate cake and chocolate icing, and put little green spice mints on top.

moomanchu

You must really dislike Oktoberfest and the beer drinking that encourages.

Those darn drunken Germans, sheesh!!

Whatever, chill out.

Rebel8;

Have you ever seen the debbie downer skits on Saturday Night Live?

Wife and I went to The Tilted Kilt bar, shot of Jameson, 2 green beers, and several other beers.

Had some kind of Irish stew to eat.

Wife combines bday celebration with this since her bday is the 16th.

Are apostates becoming more brazen

by joe134cd in

i was just watching the video of bo jensen, when he walked into the bethel.

although i thought it was commendable for what he did, it got me thinking if apostates are becoming more brazen in taking wt to task.

in the short time that i have been visiting apostate sites, i do feel that this is the case.

moomanchu

Yes, they are becoming more brazen, they are fulfilling bible prophecy!!

They really get bad after the 1000 year reign.

Apostates sure love themselves some headbands.

i keep hoping and doing searches on the site for people in my area.

so far no one i recognize.

i have a few df'd friends that i lost touch with long before they were out (two who were elders actually when they got the boot) and would love to find out they were on here, but don't know if they plan on coming back.

moomanchu

No, but it would be cool if someone would recognize my avatar and turn out to be an old friend.

Jehovahs Witnesses make a big deal about following first century christianity, so please explain this.

by smiddy in

where in the christian greek scriptures do disciples of christ record how many hours a month they preached.. " " " " 10 hours for women and children and slack husbands with no ambition.

" " " " do they record how many back calls / return visits they made in a month.. " " " " have they set down how many bible studys they had in a month.. " " " " do they have pioneers ,special pioneers , aux.pioneers , with goals to reach each month.. " " " " do they have d.o.

, c.o., zone servants , etc.etc.. " " " " where in the christian greek scriptures is the word " organisation" applied to christianity.

moomanchu

Anymore glaring differences that expose jehovahs witnesses claim ?

First century christians and Jewish people could talk to family members who weren't of like faith.

It's interesting that JW's are soooo scared to talk to ex-JW's.

They are so afraid that some small idea or information could destroy their faith.

WTBS says run away from the boogieman apostates they will destroy your faith.

If Satan would have had a 21st century apostate and an internet connection, Job would have been toast.

i got it before they gave the answer.. how about you?.

i also thought the ending was interesting as regards the "truth"..

moomanchu

I like how the video demonstrates scientific method.

JW's do the opposite of this scientific method, 4:05 in the video.

Memorial compulsory for "respectful observers" ?

by sparrowdown in

maybe i am ignorant but why why why pray tell.

if i am not jewish and not of the 144k why is it necessary (compulsory even) for me to attend the memorial ?.

what is the scriptural precedent?.

moomanchu

But...once you drop the filter of xianity, why is this even an issue?

There are lots of ceremonies you go to just observe but not participate in.

Inaugurations, weddings, baptisms, graduations, etc.

If you observe these events you actually see and observe something.

Weddings; vows made, rings exchanged,

baptisms; person gets water on themselves one way or another,

graduations; diplomas are handed out.

What exactly do you see and observe when attending the memorial?

With JW thinking shouldn't it actually be observing and seeing an annointed one drinking or eating the bread?
