  Why do we care?

  by fade_away in

  ok this thread might get my ass kicked by some of you in here, but don't take it the wrong way...i'm just curious, why do we care so much about the wt calling us "mentally diseased"?

  i mean haven't we said far worse things about the wt and gb in this forum?

  (i include myself)...i know many of us got all bent out of shape because of those two words they used on us and some of us are trying to get the law on our side, but if we could file lawsuits against them, then i'm sure they can just as easily get their money back by accusing us of "hate speech" and having this website shut down.

  i gather from my other thread that many liked the creation books, the mankind search for god book, the greatest man book and the ministry school book.. but which book did you absolutely detest?.

  here is mine:.

  i thought it was a vile, hate filled book!.

  Gotta go with the "Grand Climax" book. And, oh God, I think we had to study it 4 or 5 times. Then when they had us paste over the old light....LOL

  The Walrus Was Paul

  many new testament biblical students today of both messianic jewish and christian backgrounds, are finding out that paul of tarsus simply doesn't fit with the remainder of new testament theology.

  there is an article i've recently read, from the judaism vs. christianity dot com website that deals explicitly with this topic.... well, now i cannot seem to access it, but here is the link:.

  ever notice how many new testament verses show jesus in support of taking up a sword or going out and buying a sword?.

  "prince of peace" yet, "do not think i came to bring peace, i came to bring, not peace, but a sword".... (i'm paraphrasing from mat 10:34).

  luk_22:36 he said to them, "but now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack.

  The GB Knew What They Were Doing

  i believe that the governing body knew very well what would be the consequences of publishing the above article on apostates.

  they carefully word every article, not only for the faithful, but for the unfaithful, and for those who have never believed our faith.

  the above article and the comments here show me their great wisdom, because they have achieved exactly what they wanted.

  i really feel jw is best for me.

  i think it's the 144,000 part & the once a year get together when they pass around the sacrament that bothers me most.

  This is where you need to lean on the understanding of the "faithful and discreet slave". It's a lot easier that way. They will give you the guidance and direction that you seek.
