  Swift to forget.....

  "he who is swift to believe is swift to forget.

  " - rabbi abraham joshua heschel, polish-born scholar (1907-1972).

  guess this holds true to the history of jehovahs witnesses and their failed prohesies and the willingness of so many to forget about it.. .

  Question about John

  by eyes_opened in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know i'm probably being dense here, but i was wondering why in the book of john, at 5:22 jesus says "moreover the father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgement to the son" but then in 12:47, 48 he says "as for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, i do not judge him.

  for i did not come to judge the world but to save it.

  48 "there is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my word.

  Any other *New Light* I haven't heard about?

  guess i have been out of the loop for a while!

  that post about being denied priveledges if one decides to get a vasectomy is just too much.

  i am truly appalled at the presumptiousness of these people who think they can control their followers to this degree.

  Another Strange JW View On Things

  by eyes_opened in

  1. jw

  i remember a few years back this one poor sister telling my about how several years earlier she has had a baby who'd only lived for several hours after he was born.

  she went on to state how relieved she was as of late because the society had in recent articles stated that, if a child has breathed the breath of life it would be resurrected.

  so here this poor woman thought in the interim that she would never see her child again!

  Grounds for Disfellowshipping?

  by eyes_opened in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey all,.

  i'm sure this topic has probably been covered before, but as i'm in this situation now i'm hoping maybe you can offer your thoughts.. i'm just curious, what are actually grounds for disfellowshipping?.

  i'm to the point where i no longer believe that jehovah's witnesses have the truth, but if at all possible i want to avoid the big *d* word, as most of my family and my husbands family are still jehovahs witnesses.

  does anyone know if the books written by carl o. jonsson are any good?.

  i looked at the descriptions at amazon and they look really fascinating.

  was wondering if anyone here has read them and what they thought.
