  How did we get from singular ha-Elohim (God) to plural ha-Elohim (judges)?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  read exodus 22:6-8

  jps tanakh : 6 when a man gives money or goods to another for safekeeping, and they are stolen from the man’s house if the thief is caught, he shall pay double; 7 if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall come near (נקרב) to god (האלהים) that he has not laid hands on the other’s property.

  8 in all charges of misappropriation pertaining to an ox, an ***, a sheep, a garment, or any other loss, whereof one party alleges, “this is it” the case of both parties shall come before god (האלהים): he whom god (אלהים ) declares guilty (ַיְר ִשי ֻףן) shall pay double to the other.

  biblexaminer you started this thread and I commented on it then you accuse me of highjacking the post and of me being a JW apologist ? Come on now.

  After 16 years being active on this site ,knowing TTATT you still engage in FS ? Who`s the JW apologist here.?

  I can understand people on here who because of close family members still attend some meetings and hope by their exampl they can extricate them from this religion , but still engaging in FS after 16 years ? my mind boggles.

  When you knock on a door and a householder answers do you just stand their and not say anything ? or do you give out WT propaganda .or do you tell the HH that the religion your representing is a false religion/cult and dont listen to any others who come in Jehovahs name....?

  Or would you have us believe you work with another Bro,or sister and you never have to talk with the HH.

  I`m just asking.,curious.how you have got away with it for 16 years.

  Would This Be Adultery?

  by FedUpJW in

  i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.

  the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.

  considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

  I am an organ donor and hopefully that includes my penis.so , with all the opportunities I messed up in my youth maybe i can redeem it in my afterlife with my penis that somebody else can better put to use.

  Would I then be accused as a fornicator or an adulterer ?

  JW.org Childrens Page: Expanding My Circle Of Friends

  https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/worksheets/expanding-circle-of-friends/.

  some things of note here, it looks to me that they're encouraging young ones to befriend older people and "people not like them".

  could this be because many of the young ones are now leaving?.

  This is designed for young teeagers right ? or young pre-teens .maybe its just me but I cant see kids getting enthused about this.

  And if they are pushed by parents or Elders it would soon fizzle out.

  Does Msgr.Kovalevsky of the Catholic register in Russia know or appreciate the hatred that the WTB&TS /Jehovahs Witnesses have expressed against the Catholic Church in their more than 100 years of publications and personal witnessing from door to door all around the world ?

  Jehovahs Witnesses have branded the Catholic church as the foremost and principle head of false religion of Christendom that has appostasisied from the true religion and labelled them as the main culprit/leader of Babylon The Great The Empire Of False religion.depicted in the book of Revelation.

  And they have been prolific in their more than 100 years of publishing condemning the Catholic Church in an unfavourable light.

  So it boggles my mind why a senior public Catholic figure would defend the Jehovahs Witnesses in any way,
