Possible crack in the door that I can expose

by WasOnceBlind in

so on monday when i went to pick up my son from my mom i noticed a framed print out of a poem on my moms living room.

it was in spanish but i read it and i was kind of surprised at what it said.

i don't remember it verbatim but i would go as far as to say it had some apostate factors in there.

OEJ, you're right, if memory serves me right a person that hears the "truth" but doesn't accept it and dies at armageddon - is done done done. If a person never heard the "truth" and dies at armageddon - they get resurrected.

Clear as mud.

In my opinion there is a difference between the actual teaching and how most dubs rationalize it in their lives.

My wife would never agree that only witnesses will survive to the new system but she wouldn't disagree with the WTS viewpoint either. Weird right?

Maybe the lady that rejected his door knocking efforts did die at armageddon and was resurrected? That would fit dub theology.

The big deal about masturbation / Deaf Video by the WTB&TS

by smiddy in

by all accounts this video has gone viral on the internet ,generating much discussion as to the appropriateness or not, of this subject in a religous forum for the deaf people,which can also be veiwed by anybody else on the official website , jw.orb....deaf sign language....gods way is love.....scroll down to #22 and their you have it.

why did they do it in the first place.. the bible in christendom is generally accepted as being 66 books in total in protestant circles , catholic , eastern orthodox , etc .have a few more that they may refer to.

these writings are in general accepted as the inspired word of god given to his people over a period of some thousands of years .. in all these inspired writings over thousands of years has their ever been anything specifily stated ,condemning masturbation as a sin or anything wrong about it .. if the almighty god didn`t see the need to comment on the subject who are the wtb&ts to make a video about it .. and lets look at a few facts here:.

OMG!! That article is unreal. I've got to find my old bound volumes to see that in print. It actually says "sex interview" hahahaha I can't stop laughing.

I agree it sounds as if the WT is saying that masturbation, at least for a girl, would be ok - at least back then.

Now that you've busted him JYD he'll quit because he won't be able to stand working with an apostate. You've ruined his good gig. Good for you.

Cofty, wasn't there just a thread on that subject? I will look for it. Maybe I read it wrong or got the wrong idea.

I thought evolution was foolishness. Now I see that even the WTS agrees that plants and animals evolve to suit their natural environment; they just don't use the word evolution.

Bethel layoff question

by CookieMonster in

hi,.

with the layoffs of bethelites and special pioneers, does anyone know if they get some sort of "redundancy" payout?

.

TheListener

Wait, they do get something! They get their final invoices for any services they used including telephone service, etc. Those have to be paid or their letter of recommendation could get held up.
