do you think that this was another way of showing how males were superior to females in their teaching, or that their god "jehovah" was more favorable to the male appearance.

Someone has claimed that there are no women in heaven and to prove it used the text in Revelation that there was silence in heaven for half an hour. Barry

are born agains qualified to help jw's?.

i don't think so.sorry if you are one i have nothing against you personnally, nor jw's come to think of it, but offering your version of truth to jw's is for them to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.. the bible is the root of jw problems , and following that book in which ever way you wish will always be in error..

DJ its not a thought its a fact some tongue speakers but not all think along those lines and see it even as a evidence of salvation.As you say tongue speaking whatever it is is a gift but some see it as a gift all christians should have..Barry

My understanding of a 'born again' is of christians who beleive you can be only born again if you speak in tongues. In reality all christians are born again and have the holy spirit regardless of whether they talk that baby talk. Barry

Will any disrupt meetings & assemblies?

by Dismembered in

.

as the ranks of jw's continue to deplete, what are your thoughts on meetings and assemblies being disrupted or heckled by angry ones as more eyes become open to this cult and the damage it has done.. anyone?.

I beleive the way to do it is in small ways first at a book study or WT study on sunday. In asking questions that seem to poeple of little importance it would still have the effect on everyone that they can divert from the written guide without the sky falling in

Kudos to Tony Blair, UK PM

... not because he supports action regarding iraq, for that is a debatable issue.

rather, it is because tony blair has proven to be a stand-up statesman who has been able to work well with two very different us administrations, clinton then bush ... while keeping his own moral clarity and vision.

if tony blair represents the majority of british sentiments, then the usa can thank its lucky stars as having such a close friend and ally ... and americans need to better appreciate our british brethern.

You all forgot about Australia our little jonny howard will support big brother Tony and George all the way we always do.

Catholics cannonized the Bible, right?

by StinkyPantz in

isn't it true that the roman catholic church put together the bible (canonized the books), and decided the order and all that?

if this isn't true set me straight please.. what do the witnesses think about this?

is it (the bible) just as valid if part of "christendom" decided which books of the bible would be included?

The first list of all the new testament books we have is a list by St Athanasius in 369 later at the second ecumenical council Pope damasis listred the books in the whole Bible. St Athanasius actually better known for the creed bearing his name ' The creed of athanasius ' where he condems those not beleiving in the doctrine of the trinity. His creed has been largely dropped in place of the nicean and the apostals creed although christians in the east dont have the apostals creed.
