  Ted Jaracz is not one of Christ’s Brothers – Special Day Assembly Report

  by zarco in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during a recent special day assembly program, ted said that woman in a physically abusive marriage should submit to her husband so that eventually her husbands may respond to their submission and come to worship god.

  my family was completely shocked.

  can you imagine the culpability and responsibility of this man who claims to speak for the christ to encourage women to get beat up as way to encourage their abusive husbands to come into the truth.

  144,000

  by zarco in

  2. beliefs

  do you think that jesus or one of the new testament writers would have said only 144,000 are going to heaven so hurry up not one time did anyone say this, yet it is a core truth today.

  if only 144,000 where going to heaven wouldnt a first century count of believers been reported?

  what a mess..

  suggestion from a current JW

  by zarco in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if i may as bold as to suggest a few readings/listenings for current jws.

  the "demotion" of jesus to a position far lower than what philippians 2:11 teaches is demonstrated in a talk by lt and in several "threads" by auldsoul.

  links are copied below.

  2. beliefs

  after re- reading at the suggestion of auldsoul the context of john 10:16 and ephesians 2: 1-22 i can now see the the other sheep are the gentiles believers and indeed jesus is speaking to the pharisees in john 10. my question is:.

  what is god's purpose for the earth?.

  Complete Amnesty

  by zarco in

  2. friends

  would you come back the organization if all disfellowshipping/other punitive actions were completely reversed?

  if you came back would it be for association with friends and family only?

  what policy and behavioral changes would the society need to make to "entice" you back?.
