I thought the apostle Paul said to stop doing the lords evening meal when christ returned . They believe that he returned invisibly in 1914 and he will only come back as the clouds , so what's the point?

It's obvious that the coverups are just about the money they would lose in law suits. AFA I'm concerned the catholic church is just the head of the whore of babylon but if they go under will free about a billion people from it's satanic grip . I come from a long line of catholics who won't break free from it's influence . They clearly have to do something to protect these children but the sad part is that the governments are also about child abuse , so even if they take custody of the orphans or do anything to protect the kids it will likely turn into another bad situation.

The 14,400-Anointed JWs, are they only whites no people of color???
by Scott77 inis samuel hard's appointment to gb, an attempt of jw to fight off racial accusation?
why is that the majority of 144000 are only white people?
if the 144000 is an equal representation of all people from the earth, how about the chinese?

I think the touched part goes for the great crowd as well .I did tell them my opinion one time and they totally freaked out , ok then why does Revelation say they don't defile themselves with women ? To me it means they give up their sexual apetite or relations to preach the kingdom message far and wide . I can agree that the apostle Paul writings are very conflicting on the subject . One minute it's ,be as if you don't have a wife and the next it's give the wife her due in bed . They do also have to die at the hands of political oposers , I don't believe natural causes qualify.

AGuest- If you want to contradict what jesus said you are no more than a blasphemer . He said to sell all you own if you are a member of the little flock because they've been given the kingdom and as far as the criminal next to him , he never said anything about co rulership he said "you will be with me in paradise," which means the paradise earth. By one act of faith the criminal wiped out all his sins. Jesus never even went to heaven until 40 days after his resurrection , so there's noway you can interpret him as saying on that very day either. My opinion on women is also suportable by scripture.

I've know an ethiopian who made that claim but after knowing him for a while I was quite certain ,noway. I believe it's an equal oportunity thing but you have to remain faithful until death . There are requirements such as , selling all your belongings and giving gifts to the poor keeping the preaching work as the main focus of your existence ,and keeping free from all the things the apostle Paul stated as barring people from entering the kingdom. I also don't believe womens claim to heavenly rulership however it is possible to receive holy spirit , since they did in the old testament and first century. The number I believe is literal since the great crowd is mentioned as never knowing death at all and survivng the GT .

Yah they have been in so many words , when you read the keep yourself in Gods love book they have a chapter about avoiding graphic violence or sexual content and bad language. They can't see any movies or watch most tv , explains why they are a bunch of uptight ,self centered jerks.

Of course not , why should they mind ? It turns out six was nine on many occasions and WTBTS spin was so mind blowing but yet they miraculously were able to erase any doubt as to it's authority ,by being threated with eternal damnation for leaving they were able to maintain integrity . It really is sick .

God's Love book - Prologue examined
by Mad Sweeney ineventually i would like to do a deconstruction on the entire book but for now, lets start with the prologue, which claims to be written by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
if anyone feels this is useful, please let me know.
] in your life and thus keep yourself in gods love .

The counsel in jerusalem stated to keep yourself in Gods love was to abstain from fornication, blood , idolotry and things strangled. Acts :15;29. Of course the apostle Paul later has a huge list of things but basically that was it .Since most of them believe they aren't going to enter the kingdom of the heavens then how can you be denied access to it anyway? True the blood dogma is way too convoluted to take seriously , it is apparently alright to use 99.9% of blood , just not whole blood. I love the part about marriage where they flat out contradict within 2 sentences whether marriage is a burden or not . I'm sure you'll get to that eventually .

I've noticed they aren't affraid of using their opinion to explain things , which is even scarier than using scripture , my God you should hear some of the opinions they come up with around here . I wouldn't trust any of them as far as I could throw em. They love to play mind f@#$ games.
