Conscience

by Aleman in

i will start with a definition: this comes from wikipedia.

- conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong.

it leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values.

I agree with Jehovah God's point of veiw and this point of view is what I time and time keep saying people should follow. My conscience keeps me from staying quiet of the truth, I need to get it out. As far as this validating my belief or not, I know it's hard for some of yoou to understand why I do what I do, really it has more to do with love and responsibility. I love the human race and I whould hate to see suffering in any person or group of people. God has promised to destroy the wicked and stop any who loves violence, I know that when such promise comes true the world will be a better place for everybody.

Not everybody has that spiritual need so not that many will know what I stand for. But mabey if I say it this way; If you are a Democrat, you would have the belief that democrats have and would try to get the voting man to sway to the democratic party. You participate in your community on the Democratic group of people, and would plant posters to get the people to vote for a Democrat President. You would do this because you believe in the Democratic party and you are a patriot to say the least. Even if your party lost, you find yourself knowing you have done what you can to get a Democratic vote across. There is so much you can do after all.

In this same sence I do what I do to get across to as many of you who want to believe or are confused or want answers about our God Jehovah.

WT last week 'This Generation"

by bobld in

i have a question for leolaia.you did an excellent review of last weeks wt study article i appreciated it q13/14.

in the paragragh ""as a class,these anointed ones make up the modern-day "generation" of comtemporaries that will not pass away "until all these things occur" "" see footnote.. my question...if the anointed.ie 144,000 make up a generation of comtemporaries.

would they not be part of a generation say in the 1st century,the 5th century,10th century.15th century 18th century,19th century(1914) providing the proper food at the proper time.if that is so than how can the gb say this generation(anointed ones)will not pass away and that we are living "in the conclusion of the system of things"?

Aleman

Actually, there are still some of the 144,000 still alive so the generation is still alive with them.

Are elders angels?

by hamilcarr in

it's amazing to see how all the supernatural beings mentioned in the bible are supposed to have a counterpart in real world, more specifically within the hierarchical wt structure.

a previous wt study pointed out that the governing body corresponds to jehovah in its capacity of sending out representatives.

jesus was said to correspond to the class of missionaries taught by the governing body, just like jesus (or michael) had been instructed by his heavenly father.

Aleman

Actually, if you read it in the begining, the elders are not the angels, the elders had angels looking over them to guide them in their decisions they were to make. The elders were normal human beings with knowledge of the truth and angels on their sides.

Job lost everything and still praised God???? Would you?

by Witness 007 in

so jehovah and satan are in vegas and decide to place "a bet" that loyal servant job would still be faithful if he lost his money, family, wife's respect and health....and yes, he still praises jehovah!

is this logical?

if god arranged for your family to be killed and destroyed your health and finances would you say:"thank you sir can i have another!

Aleman

Actually, It was Satan who proposed such test to be made on Job. Sure, God could have said, "No way are you touching my faithful servant!" but God had faith on Job and he knew he was going to be right. If you read it from the begining, God was actually giving it to Satan telling him that Job was Awsome! That Satan got nothing on Job, which means Satan got nothing on God. He's the ~~man~~..er God!

I only wanted people to see not the human mistakes bros. and sis. make in their day to day life. I, in all my time here in this forum, wanted people to see God. What he said, or did, or gave us all equaly, and what the past shows us, but I never stood here saying follow the JWs. I would say read the Holy Bible, but never did I say about the WT or publications that came from the WTTS. I wanted to turn your spiritual conscience on.

That's is exactly what I'm talking about, and for me I believe in what I have seen and witnessed all my years. I have read so much in these few years than in most of my years in the org. As a matter of fact I thank you all in this forum for getting me to study more of what I believe and write it all here. Here are examples of what I have been reading:

Hebrews 9:14 : "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"

1 Timothy 4:1,2 : "Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron."

Romans 2:14-15 : " When Gentiles who do not possess the law carry out its precepts by the light of nature, then, although they have no law, they are their own law; they show that what the law requires is inscribed on their hearts, and to this their conscience gives supporting witness, since their own thoughts argue the case, sometimes against them, sometimes even for them."

- Conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong. It leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude which informs our moral judgment before performing any action.

According to some religious perspectives, your conscience is what bothers you when you do evil to your neighbour, or which informs you of the rightness or wrongness of an action before committing it. Doing good to your neighbor does not arouse the voice of conscience, but wickedness inflicted upon the innocent is sure to make the conscience scream. This subject has to do with me.

I'll explain, Many of you in this forum have told me why am I here speaking my heart out to the forum. The truth is that I feel obligated to speak out somewhere since I am not allowed to in my kingdom hall. You see I have been for a long time Disfellowed for X reason. But the truth continues to scream and shout to come out. I disagree of what this forum stands for but if I can convince at least one the reason why it's OK to follow Jehovah God and not to worry so much of what the cong. says then It's fine.

There is so much evidence around us to prove an Intelligent creator.

by nicolaou in

that's an 'ever so slightly' adapted quote from tophat on another thread; http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/108341/2880755/post.ashx#2880755.

i've been really dismissive of god/s, religion, faith and the abandoning of reason but when it comes to the 'argument from design', well you just have to give it a bit more .

respect?

Aleman

Consider this then,

The illnesses out there that every day kill people are also so complex in design, althogh there are cures to many of them, there are those that make people suffer and die due to them if they don't get treatment. Cancer, Aids, Leprosy, Black death, spanish flu, the comon cold, etc. and we can't get rid of them. There has been so much research against these illnesses and yet they can't stop them from existing.

In the New Testament Jesus is described as performing miracles of healing since he was a perfect man on earth. So truly how complex is the body if it were perfect as Jesus was.

Why suffer and die?

by Aleman in

rom.5:12; "that is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.".

rom.6:23; " for the wages sin pays is death, but the gift god gives is everlasting life by christ jesus our lord.".

2 pet.

So you don't believe in resurection? Muslims believe in it, Mabey you are of buddhism thought prosses where they beieve in rebirth of the soul, Karma, and the four noble truths:

The Nature of Suffering:
"Now this ... is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering."
Suffering's Origin:
"Now this ... is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there, that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination."
Suffering's Cessation:
"Now this ... is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it."
The Way Leading to the Cessation of Suffering:
"Now this ... is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.

Mabey this will help ease your pain of death with out accepting Jesus Christ as your savior and Jehovah as your God. Nevertheless, For the faithful that there exists a true God Almighty, there are a few other texts I will post for your soul to feed upon and your mind to become lighten up in a dark and cruel world we live in. Alow Jehovah himself brighten you like the sun in midday noon.

My mighty sword will continue to swing in hopes to intimidate people like R.Curse-all = (R.Crusoe).
