  Interesting article considering what's happening begging for money in the congregations

  i thought this article had some interesting interesting comments including this, "if a pastor or church leader has ever told you that the bible commands christians to tithe or give 10% of their income; hit you up for multiple offerings during one service; made you march up front to give; asked you to donate to a mysterious "building fund" or give a "first-fruit" offering; or even given special recognition to big givers in your congregation, lee and other pastors have a message for you:.

  you are getting played.. these rituals, they say, violate new testament teachings about how and why people should give.

  from commentary press: "in honor of raymond & cynthia franz, the present copyright owner of crisis of conscious and in search of christian freedom is committed to further distribution of these publications.

  more details will be forthcoming.".

  I don't think anybody owns copyright. I'll print the book, but the repercussions of an actual copyright holder jumping on the bandwagon mid-project is daunting. I don't think Cynthia left the rights to anyone. She never had children, but that doesn't mean that here is no distant living relative. Oh and I am deadly serious when I say that I would print it. I do NOT want to sound like the publishing house we so love to hate, but we could make it available at a more affordable price - just to cover the printing expense!

  i have posted questions on christian web sites.

  those questions have always been polite and i have never used questionable language.

  the questions weren't exactly in support of christians though.. what did i get for my efforts?.

  recently there was a thread where someone asked if there was a copy of crisis of conscience they could purchase.

  raymond franz it seems had limited resources yet he was able to provide crisis of conscience in printed form to what?

  thousands?

  I don't think Cynthia left the rights to anyone. And Commentary Press was created for the sole purpose of printing COC. Am I right?

  God is a killer, NOT a murderer

  by Slave4_38y in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is not from wts, but it could well have been.

  it explains with numerous scriptures quoted why it is impossible for god to break one of his commandments (thou shall not kill).

  it is a erroneous translation which should have been: do not put anyone to death without cause.

It is a erroneous translation which should have been: “Do not put anyone to death without cause.” In other words, if the murder was justified as in God's case, he merely killed. And he's allowed to kill humans, because humans are sinners. It's their birthright for crying out loud! :-(

  Apologies to my fellow ex-jw members but the bible made me an atheist . . .

  To quote Edward Current - "If you pray for something and god thinks you should have it, you will get what you want every single time. Prayer has a 100% success rate."
