YK: What Is the "Spirit" of God's Law...

by professor in

their ruling, in my opinion, is reasonable, whereby the spirit of gods law to abstain from blood is observed and they have avoided the pitfall of deciding the minute details for every christian conscience.

to observe the "spirit" of god's law regarding blood would mean not to eat it.

although there is still some blood in all meat that we consume, the jews knew what was meant by this law, and that was largely to eat of only properly bled meat.. .

Good point , professor.

I never thought of that before.

65 QUESTIONS---FIRST 10 ANSWERS

by You Know in

with that in mind, then, we can better appreciate what jesus was referring to when he spoke about the temple of his body.

thats because they are persons, whereas the holy spirit is a force that is merely frequently referred to as if it were a person.

5. the wts claims that ezekial's prophecy of the jews returning to their land is fulfilled in their organization.

yk,

Are you counting you time for this. Do you go door to door?

You have to know people here can see throught these senseless

answers. Are you saying that the Jehovah directs the governing body,

allows them to make 'mistakes' (are these mastakes that could have been

prevented)yet jehovah requirers true followers to continue to obey these

'spirit-directed men' even when they are self proclaimed "like a boat

tacking into the wind"? Or, are they men HOPING what they say is true,

yet continue to fall short. What have they done to warrent such power?

Men in the bible were given athority by god, and all were not perfect,

but there also was some things to PROVE they had gods backing. Where

is that today? Why are they so afraid of there history? Why are they so

secritive? why are they soooo afraid of discusion? why are changes made

Only in the face of looking foolish? Are they really preaching what christ

taught the disciples and first century chistians?

Are they men trying the best they can, probably. Men that warrant

such power(if they are directed by Jehovah or not) will be held to

a higher standard and will face Jehovahs Judgement, bording on

being blood guilty. what if they are wrong about 144.000? Would

that not be the biggest apostate lie of all time? Closing the door to heaven.

Can you say for a fact they have not held some things so tight only

for tradition and not for the sake of the truth. Is it a religion that will

save you like a lucky charm or being in the right place at the right time,

or is it Jehovahs mercy that will save you or me? Did Jesus preach

a place to go (a church or religion) or did he say come to him? Congos

were formed back then but was this a way to serve god,or was it to

prove to OTHER MEN they had the truth? What more important?

Do jws spend more time trying to prove there right to the world,or spend

more time serving Jehovah?

sorry This post got out of control, tater.

WHY THE PRESENT CRISIS IS UNIQUE

by You Know in

thanx for your perspective yk.

often i've tried to explain the last days....but i'm not very good at self-expression.. i have a great fear for mankind.

we are so cruel to each other.

hannibal

YK,

How does all this jive with ....

1989 was the year of internartional 'peace and security',

Some believed this COULD be it, fufilling the sign of they will cry

peace and security than sudden distruction would be instantly apon

them.

Question # 1 How can we have it both ways?

Question # 2 Sept 11 has changed things in the U.S. . but has the world landscape

changed that much since then. There was the threat of nuclear wars in the 80's

as well.

dubs are always looking for an angle to make money.their probably no worse than anybody else,but they do like to preach against materialism while chasing the illusive dollar.alot of times its some form of pyramid scheme.amway for one,or the triple charge system(owned and operated by some dubs from califonia)then theres the out and out pyramid scheme.you bring in people who give the pyramid $500.00,after bringing in so many people the guy at the top get`s a $17,000.00 payout,and is free to start again at the bottem of the pyramid.i`ve known a few dubs who have collected their 17grand.the pyramid eventually burns out,and the people at the bottem are left holding the bag(no payout).they lose the money they couldn`t afford to spend to begin with.there are some dubs though,that make a good living at this.what are some of the get rich schemes you`ve witnessed(pun intended)in dubland?...outlaw
