A pity you didn't give the explanation of the picture!
"Which of these two sheep is acceptable to Jehovah as a sacrifice?"
Jehovah only accepts perfect items as sacrifices; so it should be the one standing.
(S ince they have now removed the mag from jw.org my explanation might be slightly inaccurate.)
probably this topic has been dealt with before, but i'm relatively new here, so perhaps y'all will be willing to indulge me in my pursuit for clarity.
regarding the anointed, the gb recently said this: .
"we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.
Doug Mason wrote a whole book on this hog-wash; it's here:

i saw this on another forum and thought it was worth sharing:.
hi guys and gals.
ok... so we have all read the wt and the comment about us being mentally deseased?........
Words matter don't appear interested in The Watchtower:Here is the message when you wish to inform them:"We are only currently monitoring national and the larger city regional newspapers, so please only send us links for these publications. In the future, and subject to increased funding, we hope to expand our service to cover other areas of the media."
you gotta admire the skill manifest in the watchtower's deception skills.
don't kid yourself, even the gestapo, in internal documents found after the war, found the magazines to be well crafted in the field of propaganda.. the latest deceptions?
well, there's the nov. awake magazine with its cover asking, "is belief in a creator reasonable".
Hi there mankkeli:
Here is some of the info you wanted:
nugget and i are helping amelia prepare for her statement to the police tomorrow.
one of the possible objections is that the term "mentally diseased" is metaphorical.. when people answered on this paragraph did they say "people who leave are metally diseased" or did they say "they are like mentally diseased" people?.
if they said the former it would indicate that they did not take it metaphorically..
Thanks 'erbie', sometimes worth looking back at a posters previous observations.
I loath and detest the so called 'Truth'; just a pack of lies.

I should have said that I was quoting from the:
JULY 15, 2011 Watchtower Page 16 Paragraph 6

This was discussed last Sunday throughout the entire JW World! under the title:
Will You Heed Jehovah’s Clear Warnings?
6 How can we protect ourselves against false teachers? The Bible’s counsel regarding how to deal with them is clear. (Read Romans 16:17; 2 John 9-11.) "Avoid them," says God’s Word. Other translations render that phrase "turn away from them," "keep away from them," and "stay away from them!" There is nothing ambiguous about that inspired counsel. Suppose that a doctor told you to avoid contactwith someone who is infected with a contagious, deadly disease. You would know what the doctor means, and you would strictly heed his warning.
Well, apostates are "mentally diseased," and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings. (1 Tim. 6:3, 4) Jehovah, the Great Physician, tells us to avoid contact with them. We know what he means, but are we determined to heed his warning in all respects?
I am sorry you misunderstood; I am NOT one of the lying Jehovah's Witnesses and I DO NOT support them or their views. Unfortunately i do have to support my wife who is an active member.

as the title of this thread says, i am looking for the transcript of the "miracle wheat" trial.. any clues?.
thanks,.

ok, i am aware there is people here who have strong opinions about the wtb, and all things entailing that.
what i am confused by is threads dealing with athiesm, evolution, and other non christian topics being viewed as viable and worth discussing on this board.
they may very well worth discussing, but i was under the impression that this was a board revolving around jehovahs witnesses.
but I was under the impression that this was a board revolving around jehovahs witnesses.
I think it may be you who is confused; the forum revolves around, mainly, EX JW's and those who are in the process of leaving.
The topics you mention; do have a legitimate place here!
