  I`m glad I`m not alone in seeing this as crazy over the top controlling stupid reasoning.

  But isn`t it great ? The more rubbish they put out like this,surely thinking people will steer clear away from them

  yet again, all five cases remain intact and are still in the criminal justice system.

  What is the stupidest comment you ever heard at a meeting?

  by 3rdgen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a very reliable friend told me this: the bro was commenting on what was "unacceptable" conduct in the bedroom between married persons.

  needless to say, he had everyone's attention.

  he went on to say "we must avoid perversions such as oral and annual sex.

  Jesus of Brooklyn: Invisibly Present Since 1914

  by 00DAD in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking it would be informative and fun to start a thread comparing the jesus of wt theology with what can be factually stated about the historical jesus of scripture.

  in particular, how jw doctrines misrepresent the christ in both what they do teach about his as well as what they do not teach.

  i know, there's lots to debate about who and what is the real, historical jesus, but at least try to stay on topic (the comparison) and let's not get all "born again" on me!

  The Jesus of Watchtower theology is relegated to a vey minor role,in the christian greek scriptures ( New Testament ) However in the NWT of the christian greek scriptures what do we read, Acts 11:26....".and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were, by, DIVINE PROVIDENCE CALLED CHRISTIANS ".... not jehovah`s Witnesses,.... did you get that ??.... they were called by divine providence"CHRISTIANS"..... NOT JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES.

  Isaiah 43:10 You are my witnesses is the utterance of Jehovah....was written hundreds of years before christs appearance ,yet no one person or group ever identified themselves as a Jehovah`s Witness....,no body or group took that name on themselves in the intervening years from Isaiah`s day to the time of Jesus ,why is that!

  But centuries later in Jesus time , by DIVINE PROVIDENCE they were to be identified as" CHRISTIANS"...... not jehovahs witnesses

  This is" scripture"" holy writ" it is not the uninspired writings of the Watchtower

  What /Who do you beleive the" HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED WORDS OF THE BIBLE" ? or the uninspired words of the WatchTower
