  is that how it works?

  or do guesses have little choice but to follow facts and truth when they surface?

  What will happen if we grow up before the WTS? Will we have to lead them or something?

  Pay it forward...

  by AuldSoul in

  1. watchtower

  okay, so in line with the concept of the movie pay it forward, how can jws best save the most people?.

  (1) murder is a sin.. (2) people who are repentant of sins are forgiven.. (3) people who go to hell (the common grave of mankind) are still alive in god's eyes, just sleeping.. (4) ergo, if a jw sends someone to hell the jw hasn't sinned.. now, that gets the basic doctrine stuff out of the way.. if every jw kills one thousand non-jw people there will be about 6,000,000 jws left.

  if every one of these repents over the deaths of whichever ones didn't go to hell, they will have saved way more people than they ever can by preaching.. and, if by chance they miss out on everlasting life by helpig someone else to attain it: no greater love has any.... any questions?

  If Jesus could talk to Satan...

  by AuldSoul in

  consider the scene: jesus has just been baptized and immediately leaves for an extended stay in the wilderness all on his lonesome.

  now ... already this is something the governing body would discourage any jw from doing, but i digress.. along comes satan.

  jesus knows it is satan, because of how satany he is.

  Wow! Nice points people! I must confront my mom with some of these questions. I feel like I went to the store and just bought some teflon bullets!

  You know..I was wondering lately how powerful of a weapon is the internet, freedom of speech, and an airtight case against those who choose to define themselves as your enemies by their actions and words?

  I wish I could define my cell phone as my handgun....and my laptop a more powerful weapon than all the WMD on earth combined to those who define me as their enemy. Even further...i wish we all could have this kind of power.

  Could we possibly work together to win this game with these kind of rules? Air we need is the airtight case...the rest we are given.

  That deer in the headlight look is shock and fear...but someone needs to ask them what is wrong when it happens so we will know for sure and not rely upon guesses as they do.

  For the record...Liars can only rule when truth is not present..I just made that up! WOW!

  who should be held acountable? footsoldiers or leaders ?

  by The Dragon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  would our leadership be of better quality if they knew they would be held accountable for their decisions, orders and examples they set to their subordinates?

  or are they confident/cocky they will never have to answer for their mistakes and do things the way they want to do them as a result of this perhaps shortsighted view on things?.

  i mean who is going to police the police so to speak?.

  Why do witnesses tell others how to live their lives, yet their own homes..

  by The Dragon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are in turmoil?.

  i have been watching my witness mother refuse to confront her many problems with my father and brothers...instead running out at every opportunity to knock on her nieghbor's doors and tell them how some men in new york think they should be living their lives and running their household, calling it the "truth"...all while anyone who knows her knows what a mess her home life is.. .

  for one i think she should be a bit more selective on what she defines as truth..for two i don't think she can lead by example only empty hypocritical words.. .

  Can facts follow guesses..or do guesses follow facts when they surface? Guesses will follow truth when it arrives is my guess.

  Who is going to get it the worst? Leaders who play double agent to get what they want at the people who trust in them's expense? Or someone who follows the example and makes many mistakes that bring harm to themselves?

  I don't believe God needs to punish anyone...we do it to ourselves by disobeying the rules we have in place to protect us..all He has to do is not intervene and save us from our own ways.

  Pretty soon the leadership is heading for a disaster by their deeds..and quite possibly everyone is going to suffer and possibly die from the mistakes they have made.

  Is Faith a Virtue?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by definition faith is something we accept as true though is can not be proven.

  i was thinking about the scripture defining faith at hebrews 11:1 "faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for.... ".

  assured expectation = we are convinced something is true without proof.

  People who have no faith..are easy to spot by their actions and the kind of decisions they make..especially those who abuse their authority and have faith that nobody is watching and keeping score just waiting to confront them with the evidence of their misconduct...to such a degree they don't even bother with preparing a defense for their actions.

  Thats my opinion on it.

  When new better information surfaces...they will have no choice but to follow..or look real stupid.

  A bad idea and those who follow it...will become followers to the one with superior knowledge or facts.

  guesses follow facts..plain and simple.
