  The flood and wars in the scriptures - waste of lives?

  by menrov in

  i have been thinking and was eventually wondering about the following:.

  did the flood and all wars in the scriptures eventually bear the fruits that god hoped for?

  is evil gone among humans?

  Would this in itself, these facts, not be enough proof that these events were not driven / organized by an almighty God?

  Yes of course when one applies intellectual honesty with today's knowledge base of ancient civilizations.
  

  This is to be expected since these stories were mythological expressions by people who had no other avenue to explain what was happening on earth and toward themselves at that time, god(s) gave that necessary answer or explanation..

  Human ignorance is an indefensible fact.

  Unfortunately alcohol abuse is a problem within JWS , there is a lot oppression imposed upon JWS but the one thing they can do at least is booze it up. ........and they booze it religiously.

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

  such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

  Yes the instructions are to dress up as if you are at a meeting.

  Jah measures ones spiritual righteousness by the cloths and appearance one has.

  Unfortunately Jesus is going to stop this flight and let it fall to the ground for everyone aboard was a sinning false prophet charlatan, who taught and made money from preaching a false version of his Gospel.

  They have should heeded his words that no one knows of the time and not to set a time upon god's own sacred time.

  Seems odd that Jah's Faithful Slave (GB) are lying, corrupt, fear mongering charlatans, selling and teaching a false commercialized version of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

  Why is that ?

  Infidelity amongst JWs

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

  Infidelity occurs in the JWS religion like other identified religious groups, in including fornication, adultery and pedophilia.

  By their clergy heads as well.

  Sorry but facts are the facts.

  The Great Crowd Fallacy

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the great crowd of other sheep witnesses allegedly first began forming early on in the 20th century.

  rutherford was totally unaware of this crowds existence until 1935. it was revealed to him in 1932 that the great crowd members were heaven-bound.

  then light flashed from heaven in 1935 showing that this group was an earthly class.

  The WTS has had a long list and incidences of creating doctrines to suit their prevailing needs, (Will and Purpose) these have been mostly lies mixed with theological ignorance, this shouldn't be surprising since these men from the very beginning (C T Russell) were novice bible theologians.
  

  Concocting up doctrines to help in the proliferation of literature was really their core inherent agenda.

  If one of their adjoined members were to express some critical concerns toward these doctrines the WTS. leaders made a mandate to have these people removed and muzzled (Disfellowshipped)
