WHO WAS RIGHT/WRONG: JESUS or PAUL?

by Terry in

jesus didn't exactly explicate hebrew scripture the way paul did.

jesus was like an undercover agent, a mole, using a small network to accomplish a spy mission.

paul or jesus?

What has been your response with telling "devout" JW's about the UN scandal

by booker-t in

i was talking to a elderly jw's lady at the donut shop the other day and i brought up the un and the wt scandal.

this woman told me that i was lying and that jw's leaders would never be apart of a "satanic" org as the un.

she said that "apostates" are spreading vivious lies about jw's and are only telling half truths.

The Elders here DF'd my dad because he refused to shut up about it. They said it was not true and when I sent them all a certified letter from the Society they said I made it on my computer and was a fake. Finally the Elders received a letter from the Society that told them the truth and they reinstate my dad the week they received the letter. One Elder called and asked for his forgiven and I told him to announce from the pltform that it was true and apologizes to me and my dad, he said, they could not do that. Many here think I was mislead and believe it is not possible that the Socity joined the UN. Boy this makes me sick.

dear friends,.

an ex-jw, jacques, entered an action against the watch tower.. reason of such an action : discrimination after exclusion (we know that many among us were suffering (or are still suffering) because, after their excommunication, they were shunned by the wt members and by those of their family "in the truth").. the court of liege (a town in belgium) delivered his jugement a few days ago.. for the moment, jacques has lost his cause, but something has been gained !.

please read this article published yesterday in an important belgian media :.

Who's more ignorant--

by MerryMagdalene in

them for believing this or me for not being able to believe it (and not being able to stop chuckling)?it should be realized that the bible does not say that any mountains in noah's day were as tall as mount everest.

scientists have said that in the past many of the mountains were much lower than at present and that some have even been pushed up from under the seas.

furthermore, it is believed that there was a time when the oceans themselves were smaller and the continents were larger than they are now, as testified to by river channels extending far out under the oceans.

Clearly they must be smoking something. By the way who are they or the them you are talking about?

Grandpa turned in to police by JW elders

by InquiryMan in

in norway, a 71 year old grandpa has been sentenced to 11 months jail and a fee og several thousands dollars for having molested his 8 and 10 year old grand-daughters.

he wanted to have his sentence reduced because of having been disfellowshipped from the jws.

the court did not find that to be a reason to reduce his sentence.

i was discussing with my auntie how in the 70's transplants were not allowed, and then in the 80's they were, and asked that since people died by not having a transplant what evidence this had of gods direction.

he answer enlightened me.

she said "transplants were dangerous in the 70's and so god was protecting his people from them.

Women be silent!!

by skyman in

i have been looking into the research art d. ehrman from the department of religious studies from the university of north carolina.

he makes a very convincing argument that to me proves the bible verses that make women less human was not in the originals.. paul called women by name some of the women were taking the lead at romans 16: 3-16 in verse 3 say fellow worker prisca (woman).

then verse 7 junias (woman) this is interesting some bibles including the new world translation then says who are men or kinsmen this is not found at all in the older manuscripts so the new world translation and any other translation is in error.

Other writing about the early Christians comment on why the early Christians were wrong. Many writing say they even let the Women teach. Over and Over you hear this against the early Church also Merry was the Elder of an church according to early writers also look at Romans 16:1 It say that Phobie was a minister of the congregation. Today we would say Elder or Paster or Priest. They used the words minister.

jw
friends

if so, in what circumstances?

I forget the guy's name but he was the C.O. of Oregon congregations during Tacoma Gate Scandal. He quit because of the Scandal. I can not believe I forgot him and his wife's name.
