  Evil, free will and the bible.

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most christian and other deist will us the free will argument to explain the existence of god and evil.

  in this topic i would like to examine the flaws in this argument.. what is free will?

  it's the capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives (that's one definition).

  March BOE Financial Letter?

  by yknot in

  i received an email from a sister-undercover -apostate saying someone had posted on her anti-jw group that there was a boe dated march 1, 2008 about local kh financial accounts and the wts.. my fading doesn't always let me log-on much and i couldn't find anything under "boe letter" with last month search tool.

  has this been discussed?

  i stopped by the kh today and checked the board and we had nothing posted (not really expecting to see it posted either).. here is the cut/paste of her email to me:.

  Only 10% make use of the provision,because 90% don.t have enough money to cover their costs.Why not sell all the high price real estate in N.Y. and move their H.Q. over seas like all other big corporations.They already have slaves working for them.Sorry that would not work because bethelites are unproductive workers.

  Let's see they the KHAA not enough money.Circuit assemblies surplus loans not enough money.Oh,I got it,lets start bake sales,bingo,pass the plate no wait pass the resolutions.And Jehovah will bless it all.

  question about 'sealed book"

  quote: "only this organization functions for jehovah's purpose and to his praise.

  to it alone god's sacred word, the bible, is not a sealed book.

  Blondie makes a good point.If God revealed things to Paul 1Cor 2:10 and Paul preached in the 1st Century, why did it take 1900 years to understand what he was preaching?ie 1914

  PS Only God reveals sacred secrets to GB/FDS but when Father Time proves them wrong.They get behind the "light gets brighter" only to be proved wrong by F.T.

  What is the WTs latest stand on education/college?

  by cyber-sista in

  1. watchtower

  my jw niece quit college a short time ago and didn't finish her degree, which she seems very excited about and took on a menial job, which she doesn't too happy about, according to my father.

  my father (not a jw) is wondering what happened and if it is possibly something "the church" is now promoting.

  when my daughter went to a 2 year college i had some negative comments from those in the congo.

  Oh.the wbts frown on higher education.As mentioned at C.O. visits.SAD days Circuit Ass.simplify go from door to door the best way of life.

  What is funny they go to university campus' and will suck someone to come to the Kingdom Hall.Then they brag about all the love, best education.their ministry ed book second to none.The vast knowledge of the FDS .The R&F will comment about how useless higher education is because some with Masters degrees are working at McDonalds or some such place.They have wasted all the time and money some are in debt for $30,000 or more.And and and and they are not happy.

  I wonder what the university student is thinking of all these weird comments.

  If Jesus existed perhaps he only died for the Jews back then

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just something i've been thinking about.

  jesus was their messiah, he died for the jews back then and thus his "blood" doesn't automatically wipe out the sins of every human being.

  we've got to take responsibilities for the sins we commit - so in order for "saving" we should "die" to the flesh every day.. thoughts?.

  As I said on another post: John 3:16 anyone believing has everlasting life,That said.

  1.So why does everyone die?Because the real Jesus' didn't die for mankind.

  2.The Jews are still waiting for the Messiah because of 1 above.

  3.The R.C. church has it right everyone has everlasting life but it's in heaven or hell.

  "Until he arrives"

  by sinis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus, in luke is addressing the apostles and telling them to keep performing the ritual while they are still alive.

  jesus mentions nothing about others outside of this scope to participate in the covenant.. luke 22:19-23 says, "also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: ?this means my body which is to be given in your behalf.

  keep doing this in remembrance of me.?

  My angle on this:John 3:16 For God love the world.......................gave his Son.......everyone not destroyed but have everlasting life(never coming to an end)."

  1.If this is true,why do people die?Since Jesus gave his life for what Adam lost per wbts.

  2.The Jews are right Jesus and/or the Messiah didn't come yet.

  3.The R.C. are right, people have everlasting life but it's in heaven.
