  How often should the Lord's Supper be celebrated per year

  by avidbiblereader in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have always had a problem with this from the scriptures, i understand the old law and replacing the passover but those laws did not apply to the new covenant and my question centers around pauls words to the 1 cor 11.

  1 cor 11:17-20 .

  17but, while giving these instructions, i do not commend you because it is, not for the better, but for the worse that you meet together.18for first of all, when you come together in a congregation, i hear divisions exist among you; and in some measure i believe it.19for there must also be sects among you, that the persons approved may also become manifest among you.

  Anxiety, stress, depression - What do you take?

  by MsMcDucket in

  2. medical

  i've been feeling like a slug.

  the antidepressant that i was taking wasn't working.

  the doctor couldn't give me another steroid injection for my migraines because it caused my blood sugars to go sky high and made me suffer from steroid induced mania; and then after it started leaving my system, i had this really down feeling.

  i had my operaton this afternoon, and everything went well!

  i've had problems breathing through my nose for the last few years, so hopefully that'll be all fixed when i heal up.

  i'd heard a lot of horror stories about how bad the op is, but it didn't seem that bad.

  Ongoing 'Don't shun me' campaign.

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as many of you know by now - i do not tolerate 'shunners'.

  i have done no evil, killed no one, never raped or pillaged any witnesses.

  i do not tolerate small-minded witnesses who called me 'brother' for most of 40 years, now acting as if i am no better than sh*t on the bottom of their shoes.

  Good for you Shawn. Appealing to the heart is very enabling. I'm trying to engage that way of thinking based on all the recommendations on this board.

  I think its the way forward

  Women are in subjection to their husbands and to the Elders!!!!!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the february 15th watchtower 2007, is spectacularly nauseating!!!

  at least i found it so.. i would welcome the opinion of all on the board to this sentiment on page 19, paragraph 8 and9:.

  'although subjection can be challenging, women can welcome it as honorable, even as did jesus.

  The bible however whilst contributing to a patriachal society should not be blamed; we live in a society where we are more intelligent and educated, we simply know better and I maintain that the bibles failings in this regard are merely indicative of it being written from a male perspective and at a time where women had less equal rights.

  Going back to my point, we now simply know better and any religious organisation that fails to move with the times in this regard is conveniently using such biblical passages to bolster its attempt to control women and to place them in subordinate positions.

  Fascinating book I'm presently reading makes the above point. The Sins of Scripture by John Shelby Spong.

  Some headings under THE BIBLE AND WOMEN are

  The Women is not Made in the image of God

  Sexism in the Christian History

  The Woman as the Source of Evil

  Menstruation and the Male fear of Blood

  Recasting the Negativity

  The interesting thing is that the author was a bishop.
