greetings, word lovers:.

in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

Jehovah has Evil Spirit ?

by EverApostate in

last weekend i was watching darkmatter2525 on youtube and came across this new thing in the bible.

jehovah has evil spirit!!

was just wondering how i didn’t come across this absurdity when i was a jw for 11 years.

The WT explanation is that since Jah ALLOWS the bad spirit to operate, it's as though the spirit proceeds from Him.

However, 1 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 18 show an angel volunteering to become a lying spirit in the mouths of Ahab's prophets.

Plenty food for thought here.

Something is in the works, but there's a lot of infighting amongst family members.

Is it just me or is this weeks CLAM more "cultish" than usual?

by NikL in

maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.

(on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).

the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.

You know, Steel, I always rebelled inwardly at that teaching.

How could anyone read the comforting words of Jesus in John 5/6 and think they're not directed to them?

"If anyone comes to me, I'll not reject him, but the Father and I will make our abode with him."

"I AM the Bread from Heaven ..."

accosted to day down the high steet

by jookbeard in

was merrily walking down my local high street this morning when a lady approached me and than told me not to worry i'm not a jw, i said dont worry i used to be one and she was astounded and we went into a full blown doctrinal biblical discussion , she was representing her local baptist church, i really shot her away with my knowledge and she agreed she's never met someone like me before , she said that i would still need to repent and and accept jc as my personal saviour etc blah blah and that the devil was pleased that i'd accepted a path of atheism , i said you think the devil is directing people to atheism, i said you dont think the devil would be wanting people to be joining devil worshipping groups, occult groups, wiccan/pagan and witch covern groups?

i asked her to direct me to see a physical image of the devil and demons and to direct to to where they reside etc, i asked don't you think demons can manifest themselves in the form of humans?

she agreed, i then said where are they?
