  One more time.....

  by DavidChristopher in

  if a person wrote a book with all kinds of hard to understand words in it...even some seemingly simple ones too.. lets say "sea"....do you know what the "sea" is to the author?

  is it an ocean..lake...or big river..or a creek?.

  how would you ever know for sure..if the author was dead or unreachable?.

  You know a baby or toddler would have a better knowledge of the Bible than the best of theologians IMO.

  Because a toddler hasn't had the definitions of the seemingly simple words drilled into their head yet by people who don't know the Author or speak His language.

  They have a fresh slate that demands they pick up on the language so they can effectivily communicate with their parents their needs and wants.

  And a toddler would look up a simple word like "sea" and try to master it....one word at time...until the entire language is learned......while the know-it-allls...remain blind and ignorant and pretend to understand the language as their own.

  Thats how I see it anyway.

  Why is the watchtower anonymously written

  by headmath in

  1. watchtower

  it seems that after rutherford's death that every wts publication was anonymous.

  that was done to create a subconscious belief in the reader of divine authorship.

  the watchtower is written by the fds and they are god's only channel of communication.

  i would guess that so nobody has to put their name to anything and accept responsibilty if proven wrong....if this did happen powers that be could pick a fall guy of their choosing to blame it on...get rid of him and carry on white as snow.

  jst my opinion though.

  Can you get d'fd if the elders never catch up with you

  by yaddayadda in

  can the elders hold a jc and disfellowship someone in absentia, without even making contact with you beforehand?

  can they just summons you to a jc by, say, leaving a note in your letterbox or a message on your answerphone, and if you don't turn up, diss you anyway?

  personally...i would never run from them.....and would welcome their challenge to my intentions, actions, and opinions...and do my best to turn their attack which I cannot stop...into a full on retreat.

  If they were for real what they say they are...I would be a demon running from them and the "truth" they claim to possess.

  i never once heard of Jesus running away from demons.....

  Or did i misinterpert something?

  New special campaign....a few things that most don't see....

  ok. we have that "special" campaign ahead.....i still don't know how i will avoid participating....my family is all excited and will put the pressure on.....i might get my 50 tracts and toss them somewhere......it will look suspicious that i finished after an hour and "placed" 50 pcs in a territory that is closed to jw.....anyway.

  here a few thoughts that crossed my mind:.

  everybody at my hall is all excited about this special tract and i can't get the nice conversations i usually have with a few going, because of the excitement.

  i have seen and heard of witnesses running from our questions..calling us demons...yet jesus never ran from demons or was scared of them...is that right for the "truth" to run from a "lie"?.

  Could you reasonably expect me to define someone else's words for them? Especially if I never knew or met them? Or are you really wanting my definition of these seemingly simple words? But yes Star...they are symobloic for something else besides any kind of "water".

  I would rather you do the research and come to your own conclusion..rather then expect me and want me to do all the work and find out..then lead you around. Lead yourself...learn and share then invite others to do the same..That is what i would like to see personally.

  But what exactly is my definition of "share"?

  perhaps you need to go see an elder and ask them...they know me well to know what I meant by "share" right?

  No thanks..if I am going to slave for anyone...it is going to be for someone superior to me..who is where I want to be..and willing to train me to get there ASAP.

  Not someone who's goal is to always have me under their thumb and inferior to them until I die slaving for them.

  That is how I roll.......

  I have spoken.

  perhaps the God that everyone has in their head and tries to present their opinions and empty words as His may be a nonexistant coward....But I don't think for one second a real God would throw in the towel and run.

  Not the one in my head anyway.

  I wouldn't dare try to say what God meant by "sea"....I would not advise you to guess either Star.

  take a NWT w footnotes find every scripture listed where the word "sea" is used..read them and report back back what you think it is then.

  Please Star!....become a expert on "sea"...and see if everyone comes to the same conclusion.

  I need help on this.

  What if I pay you to do it?
