  adam & eve

  by gotcha in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does anyone here take the creation story literally?

  if yes, did u do ample research and think carefully but still believe in it?

  if u don't think that the story should be taken as literal, what is your reading of it and do u still believe in the bible as the inspired word of god?...thanks in advance..

  That's just that what the WTBS had to explain to the "sheep".
  But sorry, they fail to explain.

  They rather put up with a situation where REAL VISION and BRIGHT LIGHT vanishes in the eyes of most JW's.
  Very sad.
  Very sorry.

  It is one part of the reasons why I get more and more depressed and despaired.

  metatron.

  Sorry I didn't have got enough time to read the whole stuff.

  But I am aware of this matter since some years.

  The recent WTS-policy is that immortality 'd come through a supernatural action by God.

  All sorts of views having the thought that there 'd be in near future some scientific skills to find out methods for endless life are seen as "unbibical speculations" because in such a way the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ 'd be in vain...

  I do not think so. My thought is that YHVH/JHWH can use scientists as "vehicle" to enable immortality in natural manner...

  Sorry but U can't be baptized!

  by plmkrzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if anyone is interested, i have a question about baptism.. i know that in the bible jesus told his disciples to go and gather up all people .

  who were willing to listen and make disciples of them baptizing them etc..etc..etc... so basically there would be a kinda pyramid effect taking place from that moment.

  in time and on until the end of this system of things.

  plmkrzy.
  
  I got baptized in 1984 (old rite; no devotion to the rules of WTS).
  
  I do have same embarrassing thoughts as you too.
  
  It's because the WTS claim ancient bible people like Abraham, Moses, David or Salomo as JW; but, how could they be - if not have been baptized under the rules and regulations of the WTS ?!

  the first words he spoke to us, when we asked him about the state of health of my aunt, were: .

  at this moment we were aware of the fact that my aunt always spoke the truth about this man; but she was unable to help herself.

  My guess is you are somewhere in Africa. Why not inform them there, too? The elder is a thief. Throughout the Bible Jehovah sent good men to expose their evils.

  
  
  Error. Not Africa.
  My native country is in center Europe...
  It's the same country where HITLER was born..;-((
  It's the same country that had the worst concentration camp in WWII (Mauthausen; only 15 miles far from my dwelling.., more than 500 JW's died there)
