I have forsaken my dedication

by wobble in

i don't think you can, because they are completely fixated with territory maps, hours and doors to knock on (and literature to present).. how many years have jws been active in the uk?

well over a century.. how many hours were spent "preaching" in the uk last year?

must be well over 500,000 hours.. if you were to ask a member of the public what jws believe, now many would you have to ask before anyone mentioned god's kingdom?

Borgia

if post 1985: Yes you have.

If pre-1985: you have not.

It feels good, does it not?

Less Focus on Doctrine, More Focus on OBEDIENCE.

by easyreader1970 in

i went to the convention this past weekend.

it was a bit different than most conventions i have gone to (all 26 of them).

there was pretty much no doctrine presented at this convention at all.

Borgia

obedient Look up obedient at Dictionary.com
c.1225, from O.Fr. obedient (11c.), from L. obedientem (nom. obediens), prp. of oboedire "to obey" (see obey). Obedience in ref. to dog training is attested from 1930.
obeisance Look up obeisance at Dictionary.com
c.1374, "act or fact of obeying," from O.Fr. obeissance "obedience," from obeissant, prp. of obeir "obey," from L. oboedire (see obey). Sense in Eng. alt. late 14c. to "bending or prostration of the body as a gesture of submission or respect" by confusion with abaisance.

Not much difference is there.........Golden Calf alert!

Do Paul's Letters Really Count?

by almostbitten in

if there is anyone here with some heavy bible knowledge, i would like to throw this nugget up in the air.

in 2 timothy 3:16, paul reminds us that "all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching...." nwt (because that was the version that was sitting nearby).

my question is: did paul consider the personal letters he wrote to the various churches and to timothy, titus, and philemon as scripture?

Borgia

He was referring to those pieces of scripture Timothy had known since childhood. That would exclude many if not all of the NT books. Check the list in your NWT with bible books and their presumed date of writing against what you think has been Timothy's age when receiving the letter you refert to.

The rest is as they say history.

new light on blood ;-)

by processor in

awaken in gilead wrote on may 26th:.

i like the point that plasma is 90% water.

this means that jws should reject water since it is a component of blood.

Borgia

processor,

I like it. You wrote in a good tradition of that of Erasmus: Praise of Folly.....The first book I read about the follies of religion.....

What kind of FALSE PROPHET is Jehovah's official mouthpiece?

by Terry in

the false prophet is not like the mistaken scientist or misguided philosopher---just a person in error.. the false prophet is either a deceiving imposter or a self-deceived victim of his own pathology.. any who would identify themselves as "prophet" is laying claim to a special agency of communication beyond the powers of mere mortal man.

what credentials must such a person obtain?

what makes them special above all others.

Borgia

1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an ‘end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The ‘end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing?.. Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them." Awake, 10/8/68.

hmmm....so in effect, Knorr en Franz are saying that good ole Charles and Booze Judge have been.....missing Gods truth's and evidence that he was using and guiding them?

That is an interesting quote to save!......Thanks!
