  Rich Man and Lazarus

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have never understood the watchtower's explanation of the rich man and lazarus story jesus told in luke 16. of course, they don't believe jesus is talking about what happens in an "afterlife" after people die.. but from the watchtower's point of view:.

  1. who are the five brothers?.

  2. why can't lazarus go witness to them?

  Other Sheep will start taking the emblems.

  was at the kingdumb hell yesterday after a gap.. paragraph 11 planted the seed in the sheeples' heads for this.. remember last weeks study, where martha was quoted as saying: "i know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.

  " (jo 11: 24) the term "last day" was explained as applying to the millennium, in the same way as "judgment day" for those receiving an earthly resurrection.. now for paragraph 11 - i noticed some bemused faces, as usually john 6 is avoided in articles discussing earthly resurrection:.

  " "the bread that i shall give is my flesh," he said.

  This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.

  thanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.

  once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.

  there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

  Did being a JW make you feel speical like you were part of something??

  by karter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the chosen ones perhaps?

  for me it felt like we had a monopoly on the truth everyone else was wrong and we could prove it we were part of something special.

  i guess felling you belong is a basic human need.

  So HAPPY to know the truth!

  by AuldSoul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am just so pleased to be aware of the long, fruitless history of jws pretending to interpret the bible.. interpretations belong to god, which they even admit.

  but that admission doesn't stop them from pretending to interpret.. it also doesn't stop from teaching these destructive pretenses as "divinely revealed truths" that must be accepted and taught as truth.

  they fail to recognize that they are messing with people's lives when they state doctrines they did not receive from god.. these are not doctrines of god, they are merely teachings of men.

  everytime i talk to someone about praying they say that they pray all the time.
