From the New World Translation.2 Corinthians 1 verse 22 He has put this seal upon us and has given us the token of what is to come that is the spirit in our hearts. From this its saying its some future event when a christian receives the holy spirit.
My New english bible says. who has placed his mark of ownership upon us, and who has given us the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the guarantee of all that he has in store for us. A different meaning here we allready have the Holy Spirit
Your comments would be appreciated its for my ex wife and she is trying to understand the JW position. Barry

I think Aussiepost is an episcopalian and I havent seen him commenting here he might soon. When I was a school student a long time ago I used to go to Anglican scripture they allways started with the Apostals creed sthe eastern churches dont have the Apostals creed just the nicean creed and the creed of Athanasius. Over here we call them Anglicans or the church of england.Barry

The Queen is Episcopalian except when she goes accross the border to Scotland where she automaticly becomes Presbyterterian. The Episcopalians have 39 articals of faith which are basic christian beleifs. They are fairly flexible my wife and I got married in that church the priest was the only episcopalian there all the rest were SDA and catholic. Thje sda and the catholics have funny idears about marrying people but we still had to go to their classes for a whole day with other pre marriage people. Barry

Elder calls this site apostate
by barry inas some of you may know my ex wife has been studying with the witnesses, and has allways had a soft spot for the wt teaching of neutrality in wartime.
ive been sending her information from this site with issues i feel are important such as silent lambs, blood,the two witness issue and shunning.
anyway she has been useing the information to ask questions one elder after reading information from here said that he shouldnt be reading apostate literature.

The Watchtower is Pagan - Not Us!
by nonjwalltheway inthe jw's say anything that is a threat to their religion to be of pagan origin.
anything that detracts the brainwashed "little flock" away from studying their watchtower magazines is considered to be of pagan origin.
they even have something on the official watchtower website about cross country skiing and its pagan origins.

Pelagian was a Irish or Scottish monk who beleived we could be perfect if we followed the example of Christ her on earth. It was said Pelagans mind was befuddled by too much porridge because of this beleif. Barry
