Observing Texan, tell me how helpful did you find Mathew Henry's Commentary? I find absolutely nothing said about Matt's varient wording with Mark. I found absolutley nothing said about scholarship's opinions of the significance of the varients. All I find is the usual preachy written sermon about Jesus' love despite the appearance of indifference.
By seeming to draw away the desired mercy from her, he drew her on to be so much the more importunate for it. Note, Every accepted prayer is not immediately an answered prayer. Sometimes God seems not to regard his people's prayers, like a man asleep or astonished (Ps. xliv. 23; Jer. xiv. 9; Ps. xxii. 1, 2); nay, to be angry at them (Ps. lxxx. 4; Lam. iii. 8, 44); but it is to prove, and so to improve, their faith, and to make his after-appearances for them the more glorious to himself, and the more welcome to them; for the vision, at the end, shall speak, and shall not lie, Heb. ii. 3. See Job xxxv. 14.
Does that type of sermonizing satisfy you? So Jesus was rude and aloof to strengthen her faith, and make her beg
I find it completely fruitless to argue with a blind man that the orange sitting in front of him is actually orange. I am sure you would agree.

Here are 3 observations I find in the comments of this thread.
1. Some are bitter towards God.
2. Some apparently didn't bother to seek out some other expert source, such as Matthew Henry's Commentary, to help explain the entire context of the verses referenced.
3. The WTS "Jesus can't be God" theology is alive and well.

I found this and am in total agreement. Feel free to answer the Questions.
by jw inregardless of how you feel about jehovah's organization--the true religion, one thing for sure, you will not escape the almighty jehovah's judgement right along with satan the devil and his destructive organization.
how will you save yourself and those who follow you...?
it's ashame that your energies could not be put to a more positive use.

Mine went into a 2 yard square skip bin along with the books...all of them
I find it amusing, guessing you are NOT from the US, the different terms used for the same thing in different parts of the world. I don't have a clue as to what a "skip bin" happens to be. If I assume a trash can/garbage can would I be correct?

The Point of this Site?
by Samael inforgive me if i sound rude or this question has been answered elsewhere, as i am a neophyte and discovered your site through google in my religious studies.
from reading the various posts it seems that this site serves nothing more than an iconoclastic purpose.
was your experience as jw's so traumatic that now you can but put forth such effort to daemonize the religion?

I really took offense to your post. I tried not to but I did. But you want everyone to think you are extremely intellegent by using such big words. Hey you may talk that way. But if you go around using words like Neophyte, petulant, and iconoclastic you better have an Intellegent question at the end of all that.
You took the exact words right out of my mouth. The Watchtower has done more to destroy the bonds of family relationships than any other single force in the world today all IN THE NAME OF GOD. It's a man lead organization. Petulant? PETULANT! You bet there are those who are petulant. Educate yourself. This site exists to expose the "truth" about the "truth bearer's" who are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing.
In a nut shell, this site exists to warn others with a simple message... DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!

What kind of things did you do when going door to door to add time?
by whyizit ini was intrigued by an earlier post.
the point was made that the jws are going door-to-door to meet a quota and are not really concerned about the people they are witnessing to, but only in saving their own butts.
has anyone ever had a non-jw friend and asked them if they could talk about jehovah for a while to them, in order to fill the time they need?

I was within minutes of running out of gas as I piloted a single engine Cessna, at night, 2,500 feet above ground over the northwest side of Dallas/Fort Worth airport almost 25 years ago. I landed at an airport I spotted below me just in time. Fuel was basically NOT visible in either tank after landing. I AM NOW A GASOHOLIC... if there is such a thing. It was a lesson I learned and lived to tell about it. I believe it was by the Grace of God that I am still here today to recall the entire incident.

Your Advice Needed! What Appears Like My Only Way Out....
by drew sagan inwell gang, let me tell you a little bit about what is going on in my world.
for about the past 2 years i've gone through all the formations and as many of you have known from reading my posts i've pretty much have moved way beyond the watchtower in my mind many months ago.
coming to this board has helped with the process much, as well as getting my hands on alot of good reading material.

One doesn't have to KILL someone to convince others it's not the right thing to do. Same thing applies to drugs, rape, robbery, arson, assault you name it. I don't like the idea for the simple reason what if, through your new found deceptive zeal, you actually encourage, lead, and or assist someone to follow the WTS. Is that a good thing? I think not.
Proverbs 3:5,6 says.... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your paths."
