Jesus, the people of his day, and of theology
by drew sagan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i'm sure this has been discussed before on this board, but since i'm new i'll throw it out there anyway.

the watchtower never reveals what the people (mainly jews) of jesus day held as to the afterlife.

it is true that the scribes and pharisees had terrible ideas mixed with greek philosophy and that they stumbled the people.

So were any bible prophecies true?
by cheeseman in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i'm just wondering to what extent the bible accurately predicted future events?.

when i was a good little jw, i was constantly reassured that we could have confidence in the paradise because the bible always got it's predictions correct since it was inspired by jah, blah, blah.. does anyone know of a good website which critically examines each bible prophecy one by one?

what do real bible scholars with no bias make off all these prophecies?.

If everyone on earth shared everything, would everyone have it all?
by DavidChristopher in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i mean , if a small amount of people had it all, they would have to build themselves a prison to live in to protect themselves from the ones who didn't right?

what is the point of that?

can there ever be peace on earth, if people are punishing and being punished?

A note to my elder 'friends'
by George in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the laugh is on you my elder 'friends.

' years ago you could prance up to the platform, stand behind the mic, and declare, 'brother parrish has been disfellowshipped' and no one would talk to me.

but those days are over my 'friends,' because there are many who talk to me anyway in spite of what you've said.

Writing private letters to the Society.
by spectromize in
1. watchtower
2. bible
for anyone who's ever written something of a private nature or asked clarification on certain beliefs have you ever had the unfortunate experience of the elders calling you in the back room or a sheperding call ?.

the reason i bring this out is that newer brothers or sisters don't know that everytime you write the society the society sends a copy of your letter to your local cong.

elders.

2. bible
ah!

yes, that remark made by pilate after pilate had asked jesus wether he was a king.

( john 18:37-38 ).. how would you answer the question according to what we know from the bibles definition, and how the faithful and discreet slave have endeavored to give us spiritual food at the proper time?.
