  Deceptive or just wrong?

  by johnnyc in

  i have been virtually non-stop studying everything i can get my hands on with regards the wtbts, and "apostate" literature and information.

  in all honesty, 80% at least is non-sense and over critical.

  however, i do find about 20% (if i have to create a percentage reference) is appropriate in its line of reasoning and questioning.

  leavingwt: No you are wrong. I a very open to other ideas actually. Its just boneheads on this forum want to argue every possible aspect of every possible meaning of every possible word. If you get that I am arguing these points on my own then you are much more blind than I - and apparently it is I who cannot help you. Go sell crazy somewhere else -

  isaacaustin: The law of love is a law. It even has subparts - Love God, Love your neighbor, Love your enemy, etc etc. Jesus did not fulfill LAW, he fulfilled THE LAW - the MOSAIC LAW. Why are we even having this debate, since I can't see where we are in great conflict. Do you believe in law??? If yes, then we are done.

  isaacaustin: Well through your own words you have highlighted the issue. If Franz talks against the WTBTS you categorize it as "his experience". He makes comments about regret for helping people become JWs due to the nature of JW's acting as mediator for Christ. He makes comments about how they interpret scripture incorrectly, how there organizational structure is more important to the WTBTS than actual truth.....from a JW perspective, that is attacking the WT. You guys like to dance with words a bunch.

  leavingwt: Paul also used the law. Law is what governs us, even if you don't like it (just try to do something against the law and you will quickly find out). Law governed the nation of Israel - and it was the Mosaic Law which tried Jesus. Jesus never said "Law is bad" or "forget law", he criticized the Pharisees for their wrongful interpretation. Law is a HUGE part of the bible.
  
  Commands are synonymous with the term "Law" - the 10 Commandments were later detailed into the Mosaic Law. Jesus' greatest commandments should be viewed at the "Greatest Laws", since there are direct consequences for them not being followed.
  
  Lastly, I have been drawn into this law conversation by a flagrant comment that could not be left uncorrected and it has expounded from there.

  AuldSoul: Why don't you then quote for me a legal source that supports what you are saying? I've given you a reference, so give me one back. I'm not sure what your point is, as what you are saying is not correct.
  
  Here is the definition at law.com - so go ague to someone who doesn't know better.
  
  case law
  n. reported decisions of appeals courts and other courts which make new interpretations of the law and, therefore, can be cited as precedents. These interpretations are distinguished from "statutory law," which is the statutes and codes (laws) enacted by legislative bodies; "regulatory law," which is regulations required by agencies based on statutes; and in some states, the common law, which is the generally accepted law carried down from England. The rulings in trials and hearings which are not appealed and not reported are not case law and, therefore, not precedent or new interpretations. Law students principally study case law to understand the application of law to facts and learn the courts' subsequent interpretations of statutes.

  sweetstuff: I can totally respect what you are saying, and I agree that the WT's viewpoint of how they don't want you studying material or question things not originating with them is way overboard - if not simply wrong. You are one of first people who posted without trying to ram something down my throat about what some book said or some wacky fanatic theory. ("Awakened at Gilead" was cool too)

  Here is some good info for you (from Wikipedia): Case law (also known as decisional law or judicial precedent) is that body of reported judicial opinions in countries that have common law legal systems. It includes courts' interpretations of statutes, and also constitutional provisions and administrative rules. Published court opinions include precedents, or rules governing future court decisions. Common-law upholds the fundamental English legal system, which is the jurisdiction to make laws. Additionally, constitutional law continues the case law of people's human rights. Case law is a method of deciding cases based on recorded decisions of similar cases.
