My Issue: How To Step Down As A MS Without Getting Noticed

by JW_Rogue in

so that other thread was fun but now i need some help with something.

i was born in the truth most of my family is in.

although they aren't outwardly super spiritual i doubt any of them would ever leave.

I faded, sort of, after years of research on how they could be right and still look so wrong. During Watchtower K.Hall study I commented that there was an overt contradiction in the preface to the New World Translation. I asked "why do you think they wrote that?" I intended to sound sincere but knew I was exposing their hypocrisy.

Bro Anderson said "I don't know why they said that" and continued on as if I said nothing of importance.

I read the exposes about the WT secretly being in the United Nations for ten years and other bad stuff and sent a letter to four K. Halls I spent the most time at condemning all they did and said they would never do.

They haven't disfellowshipped me officially, The Judicial Committee would hear and might leave also!

Divine Name in the First Century

by freemindfade in

during the watchtower today while there was so much pontificating on the first century christian movement, i was wondering what would happen i asked your run of the mill r&f how paul and others would have been pronouncing the divine name?....

yes god's name, something witnesses claim was so critical.

but the absolute fact of the matter is that no christian was saying the name jehovah at all, period.

AND, if a Greek reader read the letters as written in the (right to left) Hebrew, left to right, the appearance of those Hebrew letters gives the pronunciation " PeePee " ! I think the Rabbi Saul and Levite Matthew and the others would not prefer the name of God pronounced " PeePee " and wouldn't use it. Jesus said, in John's gospel that the Father gave him (Jesus) His (The Father's) name.

Calling Jesus his given Hebrew name Yeshuah literally meant calling him "Saviour". He is what his name says he is and adding YHVH to his name adds another layer to the meaning.

Someone here in JW.net pointed out that the Hebrew word "hovah" means DOOM, CALAMITY, see Strong's on this. For all the WT's fake scholarship to get kept real seeming requires constant reinforcement and deriding contradiction. Hatred of non-"Jehovah" translations and readers from Traditional Christianity has always been promoted. They have called overly-cautious Jews "superstitious". It is one of the 10 Commandments that God's name is to be sacred. After watching their children being spiked on spears by the Babylonians, Jeremiah warned the Jews to keep the Sabbath, they took keeping the Sabbath and other commandments much more seriously. Wouldn't you?

Notice that "The truth" editors prefer a denouncement of YHVH using a pronunciation as part of their version of the Doomed World Doctrine of Destruction by "Je- DOOM" God?

A dooms-day prophet's rag journal announcing Ya-DOOM's KINGDOM. Watchout!

is this still a belief? no 'marraige' after being resurected?

by sowhatnow in

i was having a discussion with my sister yesterday, and she said to me,'mom told me that if dad dies at armageddon, she cant get remarried in the new system' .

i told he i have never heard such a thing, but i do recall that it was believed that anyone who dies now, cannot be married in the 'new world' because they are to be as angels in heaven.. she said , so why be resurrected if yiu cant live your dream of having a loving mate and perfect children?

god is still dictating to you how you will live.

Confusion In, Confusion Out.

The WT doctrine of the month magazine dose of foolhardy news has not ever been truth. That WT stuff is just meant to keep you inside by contradiction of all traditional Christian beliefs. Overwhelming with pleasant non-sense and "Hooray for us" and fake scholarship in 10,000 words or more discourses. Why else do they not want you to check their quotes, ideas with references?

I am out and a free Baptist / Jew / Catholic researcher.

Read the "Church Fathers" at CCEL.org starting with the first century disciples of the actual apostles. John's disciple, Polycarp; Clement, who knew Peter, (Termed pseudo-clementia but not fake to my read). The "Pagan" infiltration is garbage. The "Church" did get Gentilized, it always was Judaic and that means it couldn't become Judaized. Jesus and the apostles are all Jews. It is all Jewish. Better to read the Talmud, honestly.

Regards to all,

"There will be raspberries falling from the sky"

by stuckinarut2 in

according to these authentic holy verses, you too can share in the assured joy of sweet raspberries from the sky:.

"i tell you truthfully, there were raspberries in an abundance that fell from the sky, bringing great happiness to all those on earth".

from the book of stuckinarut2 4:7. but how can you believe this authoritative verse?.

FuzzyPaul

Literalists can be troublesome. Some are bullys, 6000 year old Earth promoters are. Ancient Rabbis, such as Maimonides lean to saying Genesis etc is more poetry and not literal because they know the language. Genesis ... has basis in fact but Billions of years being told in a few hundred words? Somehow the Hebrew rabbis know the reality that God is real, etc and creator but only tell children and imbeciles that six solar (24 hour) days are literally meant.

The Watchtower is pro their program and keeping you locked inside your closet with a NWT is all they need to keep you stupefied. ?Stupidfied?

Have you read the Book of Enoch?

Regarding the permission of certain blood fractions, what is the biblical basis?

by I_love_Jeff in

with regard to the permission of certain blood fractions, what biblical basis is the watchtower's selection of approved and non-approved components or fractions made?.

two key words here: biblical basis.

one answer by a jw caught my attention: .

FuzzyPaul

"Doctors ought not play G-D". Is that Doctor a physician or a Dr. of fictional religious literature,,,,,, called a Ph.D.

B.S. degree - we know what that means.

M.S. degree - More of the Same,

Ph.D degree - piled higher and deeper.

High school diploma, with a janitorial service or lawn maintenance (grass cutting) job, and you are scripturally principled into childless poverty and lonelyness in your old age.

Using the published charts for guidance.

Yeah

I admit I am enjoying the mocking I am writing. I must not cast a stumbling stone before a blind man or call out curses upon a deaf man such as Leviticus 19 states but fools are always "open season". A reference to a hunting term, ... bleed, eat. No fun hunting allowed for a good JW.

If one urinates on the blood of the dead game, or near it, splashing some about it thereby, and scratches those splashes into the ground with a peg, which has previously marked a firm line on the ground to not cross, has he defiled a sacred thing because he didn't wait for it to convert back into its basic elements, outside the camp?

Oh my, I am mocking again. Where does this end? My eyes are watering and my stomach is convulsing.

Yeah

Huh, what did they write?

"We trust the following comments will be helpful to you in further weighing these matters in the light of Bible principals."

"you observe that our position on blood fractions seems to change as time goes along"

"Servants of Jehovah in Bible times"

Bible Times? Does G-D die, or go on vacation between the writing of books later chosen from many Sacred books, or winked off and gone silent since the time of Apostle John's last pen stroke? Seems like he wielded a mighty pen indeed.

"the faithful and discreet slave" has endeavored to provide guidance in the application of these principles -- holding firmly to them [by your throat], yet recognizing that in some areas allowance must be made ... "

"To impress strongly upon humans that life is sacred."

Yes it is sacred, and preventing the eating of living animals is the reason for them to be bled.

Now comes the slicing and dicing into smaller and finer and thinner slices of bologna. >

"blood removed from a creature breaks down ... can no longer represent the creature's life, thereby losing its sacred status."

Now that is a fine point, firmly weaving back and fro until we get to a "principle" they dictate that your conscience allow. Notice the reference from Volume 1, page 83: The Talmud of the Land of Israel, translated by Jacob Neuser, Volume 14, Yoma 5:6, D-F. Haven't some of them said that a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day regarding Jewish or Catholic or other Orthodox reference works? Oh, and don't consult them on your own since the FDS gave you dribbles of everything you need like gravy dripping from their chin onto the crumby floor for you little ... to eat.

"a careful examination of what has been published will reveal that the faithful "slave" has not endorsed the use of ..."

"Scripturally, the "slave" has decided with good basis ..." a very technical, biologically sophisticated, scientifically researched subject and with their narrow point of view firmly held you back from any of your "independent thinking."

"a line is placed between what is "unacceptable" and what is left for a "Christian to decide," as reflected by the chart on page 22 of the same issue of the Watchtower.

Is your conscience in that chart?

"some would argue that "abstain" would include any blood fractions" which lets any person independently move the "line" "placed".

I admit, I will go back to The Talmud for scripturely advice and commentary and perhaps comment back later.

Yeah, We did blood fraction reason fractioning - 1/2 - 1/4 - 1/8 - 1/16 - 1/32 ... 1/(2^20) ..........

I have spoken with many elders during my incarceration with the WT cult and found that most would give conservative answers such as NO BLOODY blood parts that touched blood not poured out on the ground away from a garden, - or artificial circulatory systems that aren't JW kosher certified.

As one knows, the OU symbol, U inside the O, on food product labels stands for [Jewish] Orthodox Union and means that the food processor met Kosher standards but WHAT SYMBOL does a JW look for? A NO inside an O? An eye inside a triangle winking?

TO BE SERIOUS NOW, the rabbis have for millenium, pre-JC, said that ANY of the commandments can be set aside if it meant saving a life. Except for adultery or cursing G-D and I forget, maybe murder as well. Pre 1970s, the WT called an organ transplant "cannibalism"! It should be noted that canibbalism of dead persons is not specifically condemned in the Mosaic Law. Humans may not be kosher as most don't split a hoof or chew cuds, but that is disgusting and part of frequent punishments where starvation was enforced by G-D.

As Westboro Baptist Church warned a Rock Star once, "You will eat your babies". I do consider them lunatic fringe from-dull-mentalists. Verily.

The Jewish Sages' commentaries, as the great Rabbinical thinkers are called, ought to be sought as they are the undisputable experts on the Laws of Moses having kept records and careful oral teaching from teacher to student from Moses. I prefer to search for Old Testament Hebrew Scripture info by searching "Rabbi Blood Transfusion" for this question.

How can you people close your eyes to the Doctrine-Of-The-Month changing back and fro and confusing people? How many times has someone mentioned something and be corrected that the "new understanding is ..."? But if the "Old Light" was "The Truth" then and "Meat in Due Season" and a "Letter from Jehovah" but has changed - is it now not "The Truth" that leads to everlasting life? Wouldn't one wander aimlessly onto the battle field of Har-Magaddan and get wine pressed? Har-Maggan is the NAME OF A PLACE, it says that, not the name of an event called "The War Of The Great Day of God The Almighty. So it goes with blinded "scholars".

Yeah
