  What was wrong with the 'occultic green' bibles?

  by Gill in

  what was wrong with the 'green bible'?.

  i understand (rightly or wrongly) that the 'green' had occult connotations that some did not approve of.. is this true and were the early jws too involved with hidden, esoteric, occult meaning that 'others' found uncomfortable and so they had to go to the sobre black bibles?.

  Purple Triangle

  by Wordly Andre in

  2. friends

  i was watching a documentry last week and it was about concentration camps, i was not paying much attention because i was on my computer at the same time, however they were talking about the different badges of shame that were put on the prisoners shirts.

  when they got to the purple triangle it was said that, that meant the prisoner was a religious fanatics, now growing up the jw's always said that the purple triangle was for jw's, i am not saying they were not in the camps but, there were other religous groups that the members were taken by the nazi's because of their religious beliefs not just the jw's.

  not too long ago i was talking to a jw about this same topic, he said the purple triangle was only for jw's and went on about the abuse and killings suffered because the nazi's targeted jw's.

  Fleaman, no one here is saying JW's didn't die, or making less of that fact, what I am saying is that we were taught that JW's were the only christian religion killed under the purple triangle, I bet many people on this board thought it was only the JW's that were tagged with it.

  Then there are a lot of thick people on here.When i was a kid i knew that JW,s werent the only christian religion to suffer at the hands of the Nazis.

  i am a sister that kind of "fell away" from the organization.

  i felt that i wasn't accepted by my brothers and sisters (long, long story).

  whatever i did i wasn't "perfect" enough.

  Sleeping with a married man does make you a skank, so I guess his wife had a point.

  Spot on.

  people that were mostly persecuted were the Jews.

  So what.Doesnt change the fact that Witnesses died for their beliefs.It seems to me that some of you on here would rather the figure was much higher for JW murders by the Nazis.

  would someone seriously consider arranging for an apostafest up in scotland next year?

  i know i'm asking this early but i feel it would be good to put the feelers out now.. obviously, it would have to be a location easy to get to - so that means stornoway is out!

  sorry, ross & xena.

  here is an interesting challenge for the folks.

  this thread revolves around one subject, and that is thomas paine's brilliant critique of the bible written in about 1795. he did most of this from memory, while in prison in france.. http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/.

  the challenge is this: critique his essays.

  Farkel is part of our history here on JWD and I think he deserves to be treated better than this. He's helped you in ways you'll never even realize.

  Complete crap.Hes a vicious,nasty bastad who ,imo,has made light of jw deaths,attacked a poster who is of a differant religion and is arrogant to the extreme.

  Hes never helped me.Except to avoid all his crap he writes.

  Im with you Tij ;)
