  The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.

  we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.

  apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

  Overpopulation in the "Paradise" Earth!

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw doctrine teaches that the 1,000 years of christ corresponds to "judgment day," and everyone who has not already been judged will be resurrected from the dead.

  the exceptions would be those who died during the flood, the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, and a few odd individuals.

  but that's only the people living today.

  wt 8/15/03: Easing Nature - Is it for Christians?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  easing nature is it for christians?

  easing nature the very phrase itself brings to mind the odious product of this activity.

  yet, many people have the understanding that this natural bodily function is a practice in which true christians may engage.

  DECEPTIVE JW EDLERS #1

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  deceptive jw elders #1 .

  on h20 i posted a justice series with 12 judicial case experiences for the purpose of showing how decisions are made, and to highlight the poor training, lack of education, and often the incompetence shown by watch tower appointed elders.

  even those of us with a measure of secular education were often untrained in essentials of dealing with peoples personal and emotional problems.
