  we are taught that jeh.

  little flock

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a comment for the new ones here.

  the wt has attatched great doctrinal significance to the words "little flock" in luke 12:32. what however does the context tell us the author was intending?

  luke 12 opens with a crowd of curious people gathering and trampling each other and jesus turns to his 12, his friends and disciples, and addresses them with private counsel.

  Evolution & Creation... can they co-exist as theories?

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am not a scientist so i do bow to others superior knowledge on this site regarding these subjects (and welcome their input) but what is to stop these two theories both being proven so that they both apply to our origins.. what is to stop a creator creating evolution as a process just as a creator would create the laws of physics etc?

  it would be akin to starting the ball rolling in creation terms and letting it carry on until the highest lifeform is present.

  could scientific theory support this view perhaps?.

  1 John 4:1

  by mjl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  went to the meeting this morning and stayed for the talk.

  the speaker used a text that i thought was very ironic, 1 john 4:1 which reads " beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they origanate with god, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

  " i found this ironic becuase we were trained not to test anything in the publications and never question what we hear from the platform.

  To, A Friend in Need

  as you can see afin, from soj's thread started today, your pompous attitude is not going to get you anywhere here.

  obviously we had an effect on soj and we will eventually have the same effect on you.

  i for one don't like your preachiness or holier than thou attitude.
