How many of you knew about the"Jesus is not your Mediator" teaching when you were JWs??

by Lady Liberty in

hi everyone.... just curious how many of you knew when you were active, about the societys official teaching regarding jesus the mediator.

i was floored to find in my research, that they teach jesus is the mediator for the 144,000 only.

and it is only by our association with them that we might have salvation.. i don't know about you guys but i was blown away when i learned they taught this.

My Struggle

I had no idea about this teaching until right before I was leaving.

ephesians is a letter in the nt, typically supposed to have ben authour by paul to the ephesians but not only the authorship is debated but so is the target audience, the ephesians part not being noted in the earliest available scriptures.. dated at around 8-100 ad and supposedly during paul's captivity, it does gives us some insight into (perhaps) 2nd generation chrisianity and paul's effect on them.. chapter 1 has some passages of note:.

grace is given freely (we are blessed with it) by jesus ( called beloved or the one he, god, loved) -1:6. in jesus we have redemption, forgiveness of sins according to god's grace - 1:7. god's plan is to bring everything ( heaven and earth) together under jesus, god has an (unknown to us) timeline for that.

- 1:10. we have been chosen ( are heirs), predestined according to god - 1:11 and, being the first to have hope in christ, might be for the praise of hid glory - 1:12.. 1:13 -"and you were also included when you heard the word of truth, the gospel and having believed, were marked by the holy spirit with a seal".

We are cooking this at the fire station today, we made it a bit bigger and are smoking it instead of cooking it in the oven. We stuffed it with onion, fried bacon, bell pepper, cheese, and b-b-q sauce. The whole thing is 12,000 cal.

What should I do with all my old JW books? ?? Stopped attending 2000

by Latte in

me and hubby stopped attending around 2000, and for some strange reason i have stored all the books we were using at that time.

i am so tempted to light the barbeque ...and burn the lot...as it is soooo cccold here in the north west of england!

lol.

My Struggle

Unless you need to burn them for theraputic purposes, donate them to a cult ministry.

I agree and on that note you have a PM.
