watchtower june 2015....... .

the bible and proven scientific facts.

the bible does not claim to be a textbook of scientific knowledge.

That general statement allows scientists to determine the age of the physical world according to sound scientific principles.

Just wow.

Oral Review for May-June

by James Jack in

pixel, atlantis, anybody have the oral review for may-june 2015?.

thanks .

Is this doctrine still in in effect?

by WasOnceBlind in

so something i never knew was the fact jw's were taught that jesus is only the mediator for the anointed class and not for everyone.

i only found this out after reading "crisis of conscience" and i was actually pretty shocked to learn so.

if that is the case, when they pray why even bother saying the words "in the name of jesus christ we ask"?

The original-language word translated “mediator” is a legal term. It refers to Jesus as a legal Mediator (or, in a sense, an attorney) of the new covenant that made possible the birth of a new nation, “the Israel of God.” (Gal. 6:16) This nation is composed of spirit-anointed Christians, who form a heavenly “royal priesthood.” (1 Pet. 2:9; Ex. 19:6) The Law covenant, with Moses as mediator, was not able to produce a nation like that.

What about those who are not in the new covenant, those who hope to live forever on earth, not in heaven?...

Jw's don't let their kids die because of blood...

by freemindfade in

another nauseating detail i remember from saturdays program.

there is a video (one of so many) shaming young people for being afraid to admit they are jw's.

one australian girl talks about how one of her teachers was saying jw's let their children die over the blood issue (fact) and she goes on to say how that is not true.

On the same video and interview with the girl, is funny how she tells the teacher: "Our name is not JW, it it Jehovah's Witnesses. But who started the JW-thing in the first place anyway???

Guns. Well said Mr President, if only your countrymen had the same courage to consider changing course.

by nicolaou in

ive had to make statements like this too many times.

communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times.

once again, communities [were harmed] because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no problem getting their hands on a gun.. lets be clear: at some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.

Well said little_socrates.

Do or did the JW's believe dinosaurs were vegetarians?

by Crazyguy in

i thought at one time or maybe they still do believe that the dinosaurs were vegetarians?

pixel

The vast array of dinosaurs with their huge appetites would have been appropriate considering the abundant vegetation that evidently existed in their time.

Oh my.

When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life.

I guess God does not know how to pick up after him that he left a big "garbage" of bones everywhere.

Why are demons so easy to make friends with?

by GodZoo in

one thing i have been wondering lately regarding a teaching of the org (and other christians) regarding demons... why is it they so easy to contact, make friends with and have them full on involved in your life on an almost immediate and daily basis?.

why is it you can pray to god, jesus, angels, whoever, during an entire lifetime of offering them loyal devoted and unswerving service yet not one time in say 50 years of this lifestyle will you ever get a response, hear a peep, see even a wisp of a vision or even get the faintest hint of unquestionable interaction from god..?.

yet on the other hand demons are ready and willing to engage and befriend you in a heartbeat, touch you, talk to you, even molest you in your bed at night, give you gifts, talents, charm and worldly success simply after buying an old mirror, a bit of tatty furniture or a dishevelled book from some dusty old second hand goods store, or simply watching a scary movie or listening to a sexy rock song... .

Nice thread. a sexy rock song.. umm...

Re: Music at Theocratic Events

by pixel in

this is a crappy letter from the watchtower.

i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.

and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".

Thanks wifibandit!
