  Yesterday's WT "Study"

  by piztjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a few observations about the material in yesterday's wt "study".. the wt informed people this week that as long as there is no clearly stated law from god we still cannot observe standards that are common in our area or that we were raised with, if we are christians.

  the reason they gave?

  as imperfect humans we don't have the ability to determine what is right or wrong.

  Gopher, you know that Hebrews 5:14 is speaking only the the annointed....easily then converted to faithful and discreet slave....easily converted to the governing body...evidently.

  How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.

  when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.

  when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

  I guess I'd ask it, "Has everything worked out like you planned?"

  I Went To A Catholic Mass Yesterday And What A Waste of Time!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the priest acted as if he was the reason why people were there.

  he was about 80 and totally disinterested in the affair although he married the deceased and her husband 15 years earlier.. his sermon's gist was that we need faith to accept that the reason why god has us die is so that we can go to heaven.

  and that's it.. the only interesting (touching) time was when the grandkids gave testimonials about their beloved grandma.. oh, and one more thing.

  It doesn't matter that God didn't "go thru with it" as far as Abraham and Isaac are concerned. What matters is that God asked Abraham to do it as a test. What a guy.

  Will The Noah Movie Wake Some Up to TTATT?

  by jw07 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the trailer for the noah blockbuster has been released (even superman and thor are more believable myths).. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frtlt3deydu.

  many jws on my facebook page are clamoring to go see it believe it or not.

  others are pointing out the 'inconsistencies' with watchtower doctrine.. having something visualized and plainly layed out before you is useful when dealing with unthinking persons.. do you think that seeing it will help some jws to crtitically think about things they have read and glossed over?

  Great Music

  by Berengaria in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  it appears that many of the best music threads have been purged.

  i can't imagine the formula that would eliminate such wonderousness while preserving "involuntary muscular contractions", but so it is.. the first offering.
