  Are Apostates "Obsessed" with Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by booker-t in

  i was talking with my friend the other day and he was telling me that he was going to several kh to debate with jw's elders to look in their libraries and show jw's the "cover ups" from their own books etc; this man has "no life" except debating with jw's.

  i feel enough is enough!

  when are apostates going to just let it go?

  You are posting on a sight that does the very thing you point out.

  They here are obsessed with hatred for JW's of course they are in denial but none the less it is a fact.

  607 bce or 587 bce

  jerusalem 607 bce vindicated.

  why jehovahs witnesses are right for sticking to the bibles chronology of 607 bce for the destruction of jerusalem.

  arguments for 587 bce are scripturally flawed, causing four bible prophecies to fail.

  Should you apologize????

  by jw in

  yes, a person should never be too proud to swallow his pride, apologize, and seek forgiveness.

  abigail, a wise woman in ancient israel, provides an example of the power of an apology, although her apology was for a wrong that her husband had committed.

  while dwelling in the wilderness, david, who later became king of israel, together with his men protected the flock that belonged to abigail's husband, nabal.

  Where is the cut and paste. I see no similarities for you to even infer that. Matter of fact I am surprised no one critisized my typo's.

  Abigail, a wise woman in ancient Israel, provides an example of the power of an apology, although her apology was for a wrong that her husband had committed.

  While dwelling in the wilderness, David, who later became king of Israel, together with his men protected the flock that belonged to Abigail's husband, Nabal.

  Yet, when David's young men asked for bread and water, Nabal sent them away with very insulting remarks.

  Provoked, David led about 400 men to go up against Nabal and his household.

  Upon learning of the situation, Abigail set out to meet David. When she saw him, she fell upon her face at his feet. Then she said: "Upon me myself, O my lord, be the error; and, please, let your slave girl speak in your ears, and listen to the words of your slave girl." Abigail then explained the situation and gave David a gift of food and drink.

  Abigail's humble attitude along with her words of apology for her husband's rude behavior spared her household.

  David even thanked her for restraining him from entering into bloodguilt.

  Although it was not Abigail who had mistreated David and his men, she accepted the blame for her family and made peace with David.

  At that, he said: "Go up in peace to your house. See, I have listened to your voice that I may have consideration for your person."1 Samuel 25:2-35.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Another example of someone who knew when to apologize is the apostle Paul.

  Once, he had to defend himself before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high court.

  Infuriated by Paul's honest words, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by Paul to strike him on the mouth.

  At that, Paul said to him: "God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you at one and the same time sit to judge me in accord with the Law and, transgressing the Law, command me to be struck?" When onlookers accused Paul of reviling the high priest, the apostle immediately admitted his error, saying: "Brothers, I did not know he was high priest. For it is written, 'You must not speak injuriously of a ruler of your people.'"Acts 23:1-5.

  What Paul had saidthat the one appointed as judge should not resort to violencewas valid.

  Still, he apologized for unknowingly speaking to the high priest in a manner that could be viewed as being disrespectful.*

  Paul's apology paved the way for the Sanhedrin to listen to what he had to say.

  Since Paul was aware of the controversy among the members of the court, he told them that he was being tried for his belief in the resurrection. Consequently, much dissension arose, with the Pharisees siding with Paul.Acts 23:6-10.

  What can we learn from these two Biblical examples? In both instances, honest expressions of regret opened the way for further communication. So words of apology can help us to make peace.

  When we find out that someone was offended by what we said or did, we may feel that the person is being unreasonable or too sensitive. Yet, Jesus Christ advised his disciples: "If, then, you are bringing your gift to the altar and you there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go away; first make your peace with your brother, and then, when you have come back, offer up your gift."Matthew 5:23, 24.

  For example, a brother may feel that you have sinned against him. In such a situation, Jesus says that you are to go and "make your peace with your brother," whether you feel you have done him wrong or not.

  The issue is, not so much who is right and who is wrong, but who will take the initiative to make peace.

  if asked: would you marry a prostitute most people would say no, but if asked would you marry a prostitute's daughter that doesn't like this game and has never been in it, would you do it, to have a prostitute as a mother in law and grand mother of your children?

  .

  i personally wouldn't do it hard though it may be on her decent daughter.

  jw, are women somehow better human beings before their hymens are broken? And what is the value you are transposing onto the hymen? What makes a woman different the moment after she is "de-flowered". Will (was) your virginal wife be different, somehow less valueable once you break (broke) her seal?

  Well if to virgins marry and keep their vow to each other and never commit adultery, that is true love to each other.

  They chose to have no others but each other.

  "Hemophiliacs are like vampires!"

  as i have talked about before, i have a serious bleeding disorder, not hemophilia though.

  back in the dark ages of the '70s, the medical term used was "pseudo-hemophilia".

  because i did not get appropriate medical care (thanks to the wts), i spent many hours during meetings sitting in the smelly ladies room at the kh trying to control my nosebleeds.
