Our Christian brotherhood is another valuable resource in seeking Jehovah's guidance. Central to that brotherhood is "the faithful and discreet slave" with its representative Governing Body.

~~Jehovah~~ > ~~brotherhood~~ > ~~faithful and discreet slave~~ > Governing Body. There we are

By the way, I note that "Governing Body" is capitalized, but not that bogus "faithful and discreet slave"

New book: Keep Yourselves In God's Love: Chapter and appendix on blood

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

here is a scan of the chapter on do you value life as god does?.

.

Exterminator

Life is sacred = We can't kill without God's permission

Blood is sacred = We can't shed blood without God's permission

Genesis 9 = No debt of blood (bloodguilt) for an animal is counted if that blood is poured on the ground. On the other hand, the life/blood of a slain human is always asked back

There can be no atonement without the shedding of blood. There can be no bloodguilt without the shedding of blood

Is that so difficult to understand? There must be something in the American diet that impairs brain function

Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

by Aleman in

i'm sure you all heard what happened in texas, i believe these are signs of the coming of the kingdom of god.

state investigators say they have discovered a bedinside thelygamist compound temple that was reserved for husbands -- often middle-aged men -- to have sex for the first time with their underage 'wives.

this is supposed to be a place for worship not sexual acts.

I believe these are signs of the coming of the Kingdom of God

I just see one more sign of how sick American religion is

Was Jesus really without sin?

by Terry in

he violated the sabbath law and he saved a condemned woman from being stoned in compliance with the law.. does it matter he had scruples and self-justifying theological arguments?.

would those arguments have saved anybody else from being put to death?.

technically speaking (the letter of the law) could we truly speak of jesus as really without sin?.

Exterminator

He was an apostate, defying the authority of the Governing Body and starting his own religion

Ancient Sodomites get resurrected?

by Fatfreek in

the last position about a resurrection (or not) for those in ancient sodom and gomorrah, in watchtower literature, is from the following 1989 publication.

there, they are clear in their spirit-directed teaching that there will be none.

newly revised you can live forever in paradise on earth (1989), chap.

Exterminator

What's very typical of WT's style in these flip-flops is the cold doctrinal approach and the complete lack of concern for what paradise would look like with such sex predators around

I need some more JW scandals/hypocrisies to add to my list..........

by middleman in

hey yall, i'm looking for some more scandals of the wbts.

i know the un one, of course different pedophile ones, their involvement with anca, and i'm learning the deal on the bible printing they did for some folks in thailand.

i just need some more logs to put on my fire, i'm hoping to hear anything and everything, with links please if possible.

Exterminator

They are aware that their teaching on blood is mistaken (the forbidden blood is blood shed in death + that blood cannot be more precious than the life it represents) but they don't dare admiting it

To soon to hope?

by Wendy_Warden in

so yeah--i've been riding the same train of i'm-in-love-with-a-jw for about two years now.

i've said in previous posts (posted a long time ago) that he wanted me to convert.

he never said so out right but his habit of linking our conversations to the wt convinced me that it was important to him.. well, i tried to let everything drop for a long time and didn't really keep in contact.

Exterminator

That is fine, Wendy. I wish you to succeed, of course

I really want to see him saved and delivered from the WT.

Your relationship doesn't seem to stand a chance

How Did Your JW Wife or Husband Leave You?

by new boy in

inspiried by other post and threads....and the love to type.. after going from being a self rightious pioneer and bethelite, to someone who had major doubts.my years drifted by me.

i had been a watchtower slave for over 50 years.

one day at a time, i sold my soul.

Exterminator

Thank you, New Boy and SummieLee.

My ex and I had been happily married for ten years, and had pioneered together. When I exited the cult, we huged, cried and just divorced. Looking back to that marriage, I now thank my ex to have cut it off at once. Surgically.
