nu 31:17-18 moses, following the lord's command, orders the israelites to kill all the midianite male children and "... every woman who has known man ...." (note: how would it be determined which women had known men?
one can only speculate.
dt 21:10-13 with the lord's approval, the israelites are allowed to take "beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their captive wives.

the bible says that the truth will liberate you or set you free.. the watchtower applies this to their religion as if their "truth" sets people free.. if that's the case, how were you set free when you became a jw?.
Confession- thanks for the compliment! The way I see it Jehovah directs Christ, and Christ directs his followers on earth- INCLUDING those at our HQ. Those at HQ- like us all- make mistakes & errors. It's that simple! The apostles were arguing over which one of them were the greatest- right up to Christ being arrested!
Greendawn- Sorry you never saw the love- I see it all the time!
BluesBro- there is a LOT of fun in doing the work Christ commanded- and it is SO rewarding; what can make you happier than glorifying God & Christ?
Daystar- you're a mess!
Agape,

Anti- do you want to see if there is a possibility that there is sense in those verses- or are you just wanting to ridicule the Bible for reasons only you would know?

Apparent misunderstanding... I was asking who you believe Jesus to be with. Is it the WTS? If so, why have you at least twice used a scripture that teaches Jesus is "where two or three are gathered" in his name? Do you think this must be two or three people associated with the WTS?" | ||
Mad: Jesus was simply encouraging believers to work TOGETHER, C! We both know he will also be with the individual who believes in him! Mad |
meaning:
not resorting to name calling, yelling, belittling ones religion, being able to express your ideas, etc.
also, are there any active jw forums that non/ex jws go, and preach the gospel to the jws?
Auld wrote:"What if it is policy to disfellowship those who unrepentantly engage in behaviors which are not condemned by the Scriptures? Is such a policy wrong, too?"
Mad: Any organization nowadays has to set rules that are not spelled out in scripture/ business ethics- simply because of lawsuits, and governmental regulations alone. However, when policy goes AGAINST what the principles of the Bible are- yes!
the new world translation (nwt) contains thousands of serious errors.
the following regarding john 1:1, one of the most noteworthy verses to jehovah's witness and ex-jehovah's witnesses alike, provides a case example of how and why the nwt cannot be trusted.
there some few scholars that translate the word was "a god" or "a god" or "divine" but they are in the very low percentages.. in greek john 1:1 says: "en arche en ho logos, kai ho logos en pros ton theon, kai theos en ho logos.
Tophat wrote:"MAD! Are you saying that NO Bible translation can be trusted?"
Mad: No- just that it pays to use a different translation from time to time- and look up any discrepancies in Bible Dictionaries and Concordances- most online now! It's just ridiculous to me to have this NWT roast- when it is a superior translation- JW or NO JW! These postings are a farse; these people think they know so much- and they DON'T- they are making the mistake they accuse me of; letting 'expert's's do their thinking for them about the NWT...to praise it would be to denounce their religions and/or sponsors.
Jgnat wrote:"I have no idea what you are going on about, Mad. You are obtuse."
Mad: "Obtuse"? Quit using such big words on me! I didn't WANT to go on & on- believe it or not! I HONESTLY wanted to just hear WHO (if not, as everyone here is saying, JWs) are carrying out the work Jesus predicted that would precede the end of the world/SOS....and everyone just starts mouthing insults & digs at the WTBS!
Why can't they just say "Aliens from Jupiter are doing it"- or whatever they might think!
If someone starts cutting down one of your friends - don't YOU step in?

Well at least you finally answered the question! BOY did you answer it! You view is way to inconsistant-and lenghty- for me to want to even TRY to understand! Mad
