  from reading my previous post many of you know i am a worldly person and have been a life long child advocate.

  my heart goes out to the jw children and women.

  these last 5 months education here and jwfacts, jwstruggles, has been very enlightening.

  Wherever you are and whoever you think you are with, be an advocate for safety and children. Those sports fields are a lure for pedophiles, and don't think they are particular to JWs. They are dads, uncles, grandpa's and family friends. Brothers, cousins, and coaches. Keep an eye on your little children and alert your bigger kids. Every kid's at risk. Assume nothing and with all that, don't lose your mind over it, be sensible and balanced.

  i have posted questions on christian web sites.

  those questions have always been polite and i have never used questionable language.

  the questions weren't exactly in support of christians though.. what did i get for my efforts?.

  I'm feeling kind of mortified that any of what we say sounds JW ish! Some here could refer you to an actual pro JW site and you can see how it goes, pasting the same stuff as you have here, and tell us how it goes.

  Welcome! I've never heard movies before. Which continent do you hail from?

  Abraham, Isaac, Jacob are IN the Kingdom of Heaven?

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the new jesus book ("the way, the truth, the life"), page 92 says this:.

  "once jesus has performed that healing, he uses the occasion to confirm that non-jews of faith will be favored with blessings, saying: many from east and west will come and recline at the table with abraham and isaac and jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

  what about faithless jews?

  The out is right there, folks. If ever questioned they have "But Gentiles will be welcomed to recline at his table, as it were, “in the Kingdom of the heavens.”

  Type and Anti-Type, the killing of the Faithful and Discreet Slave. Whats thier angle and how do they spin out of this one?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it would seam that the changing of the type anti-type teaching kills their claim as the faithful and discreet slave class as it is only a parable according to peter at luke 12:41. obviously i don't think they will ever come out and actually say that the f&ds is just a parable, so when one asks what will the answer be, to spin out of this obvious problem?.

  also what do you think is the reason for the change in this teaching?

  is it more to do with getting rid of doctrine that can be criticized or could it be that they are trying to make it as though they are really not in control of the congregations so as to say we aren't responsible when the prosecution comes knocking over future pedophile case?

  The anti types and types are blanketly repudiated because over the last 140 years or so, they have made a lot of claims about them being significant/ prophetic in various ways. They dumped all kinds of conclusions/speculations that have proven over time to be nonsense. So far as JWs are concerned it is now water under the bridge. They did leave a loophole so they can do it more if they want to.

  Women Make Monkeys Of Men

  by Bangalore in

  2. beliefs

  vindication i (book, 1931) pp.156-157.

  the church congregations of christendom are attended chiefly by women, and women have much to do with the policy thereof.

  in many of the church organizations women occupy the pulpit and preach and prophesy.

  No. Kendrick is hiding, trying to pretend that NONE of this has anything to do with him. Hiding behind his wife. . . wives. And stepdaughters. And granddaughters. He doesn't give a shit about the WTS or the women or JWs or even himself. He is a dead creature, no longer even human.

  Fisherman is a deluded, defensive JW who is trying to make sense of the insane.

  I grew up in Seattle also-a lot of wonderful JWs, and a few who singlehandedly drove out many. There are a few I would go back for, but they are mostly gone now. The elder who told me his truth about 1975. . . I wish I knew what happened with him. He soon "relocated".

  I am sorry your friend endured so much. I'm glad she can't be harmed by men anymore.

  If you masturbate, your hand will get pregnant! Religious ratbaggery is universal

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw org.

  used to claim (and probably still does) that masturbation would turn you into a homosexual.

  they, of course, failed to explain the process by which that happened and since masturbation is likely a near universal practice, the claim fails the test of logic, as homosexuality is not the majority form of sexuality.. but over in the islamic world, an equally illogical claim is made.. mucahid cihad han, a turkish televangelist .

  This is why I don't hold hadith in any particular esteem. I will take wisdom where I find it and when it looks ridiculous, I figure that the "saying" came about when it suited someone, long, long ago who was trying to get his kid to stop masturbating.

  Its kind of how I view the Bible. Sayings, not particularly inspired. There may be some really good stuff, there may be some really true teachings, but it is all sayings that made the cut somewhere along the line.

  FYI, hadith are not considered in any way inspired. Many give them (selectively, as they are wont to be selective) too much influence. I think a lot of the nonsense hadith were put in there to inspire a desired action by someone who wasn't otherwise compliant-until they are told that "the prophet said it to. .. .(someone respected who allegedly repeated it). Stupid game of telephone gone wild.

  Village Idiot-they don't care about the money. Its not THEIR personal wallet and they have lots more where that came from. Its not even that much money.They are all about "the principle of the thing". Or the lack of principles in their case.
