Oh, Schizm! (Daniel 11:35)

by AuldSoul in

schizm: here's something for you to consider, which you will no doubt disagree with, but that shows that the wts will refine its thinking on these issues:

and some of those having insight will be made to stumble, in order to do a refining work because of them and to do a cleansing and to do a whitening, until the time of [the] end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

-- daniel 11:35 .

Schizm says: So which "Christian" religion would it be? First off, it couldn't refer to what is commonly referred to as "Christendom", a religion that's split up into a multitude of denominations.
Score: Rhetoric 1, Evidence 0.

Schizm says: At any rate, you're quite wrong about the text applying equally well to just any old religion that professes belief in the Bible.
Score: Rhetoric 2, Evidence 0.

Schizm says: However, for lurkers that may be reading this thread that you initiated I'll offer the reminder that the text of Daniel 11:35 is applicable to Christians who are united as a body, rather than divided such as is Christendom.
Score: Rhetoric 3, Evidence 0.

Schizm says: And, furthermore, it seems that there's a subtle purpose for the verse concluding with the words "because it [the time of the end] is YET for the time appointed".
Score: Rhetoric 4, Evidence 0.

Schizm says: There's much in the Scriptures that require discernment to understand their meaning. You too might try your hand at developing such an ability.
Score: Rhetoric 5, Evidence 0.

Schizm says: You're sadly mistaken. JWs stand out as being distinctly different than any of Christendom's churches.
Score: Rhetoric 6, Evidence 0.

Schizm says: Is it my fault that you haven't any "insight" regarding the things being said? If you did, you wouldn't be making such a silly request.
Score: Rhetoric 7, Evidence 0.

Is it always this hard to get a Jehovah's Witness to back up their arguments with evidence?

So... you can't answer AuldSoul's points then?

Schizm what you are saying is completely and hilariously irrelevant.

My assertion stands: you continue to confirm your inability to answer AuldSoul's points.

I don't qualify, but I'm not asking you to answer my questions. I'm pointing out that you *forgot* to answer AuldSoul's points, and I assume he does qualify.

Greg Stafford releases JWD 3

by AliveinChrist in

greetings group .

i saw today that stafford is going to be releasing a third addition of his jehovahs witnesses defended publication at a pre-sale price, on his web site at http://www.elihubooks.com/ .

it will be of interest to those of us who have read his publications to see what changes will be in version 3 that were not in version 2, since the release of his three dissertations book, which was a more candid look at the history of the wt history and doctrinal changes.

I second the motion that the post is by Greg Stafford, and extend the motion to describe said post as 'spam'.

Schizm - surely you can do better than that? Try answering the points AuldSoul raises.
