in an article entitled "pharisee nation," american peace activist and jesuit priest, john dear wrote the following:.

"we have become a culture of pharisees.

instead of practicing an authentic spirituality of compassion, nonviolence, love and peace, we as a collective people have become self-righteous, arrogant, powerful, murderous hypocrites who dominate and kill others in the name of god.

NWT? Why a different bible?
by 4mylove in
1. watchtower
2. bible
what is the common justification given by witnesses as to why they have a different bible?

a friend once told me that it was because the other versions of bibles weren't translated accurately and things had been changed.

at this though, she also told me that should i decide to study, i could use my own bible.

What JW Beliefs Did You...
by Abandoned in

2. beliefs
what jw beliefs did you make up for your own sanity?.

for me it was regarding the flood.

instead of believing that god had destroyed millions of people, i imagined that because of all the violence, by the time the flood came, the only people besides noah and his family that were still alive were the nephilim.

The enigmatic mystery of the Nephilim, the Rephaim, and the Titans
by Leolaia in
1. watchtower
2. bible
it has been said that historical memory in oral tradition goes back only a few hundred years before it alters considerably in later retellings, and when even greater time depth is involved the mythic past fills in what has been collectively forgotten.

but myths purporting to relate events hundreds or even thousands of years in the past often contain kernals of historical memory amid the layers of tradition and archetypal folk motifs.

an excellent example from my own reading is that of the inuit eskimo in greenland who have a rich oral tradition about the norsemen who died out over 500 years ago and who originally colonized the land a millenium ago.
