that's true cameo in mathew 28:18 he says , all authority in heaven and earth were given to him not that he had it to begin with . It is obvious by his comments throughout the new testament that he never once boasted equality even tho he says such things as he and the father are one just as he and his followers would be one in purpose and that was to do Gods will. I just don't know what the comment equal in nature was supposed to mean since he was responsible for creating nature on earth. The whole point of him coming to earth was to give his perfect human existence as a ransom , a price paid in exchange for another.

I don't believe he was Gods equal since he is mentioned as having grown in wisdom and the fact he has no super natural powers until his baptism at the jordan. He recognized the temple as his fathers house and not his own . He had to die an equal to adam not God in order to release us from the bondage of adamic sin and allow for the gentiles to live in equality with the jews . The blood line was corrupted from adam on , thus the animal sacrifices and blood used to atone for sin , now it's the blood of christ used to atone with .

Do not fear, [...] my servant, for I am with you," declares the LORD.
by freetosee injeremiah 46:28 do not fear, [...] my servant, for i am with you," declares the lord.
"though i completely destroy all the nations among which i scatter you, i will not completely destroy you.
i will discipline you but only with justice; i will not let you go entirely unpunished.".

The GB really do not want us to think for ourselves Mar 15th WT
by life is to short ini know that some of you might think that i really should be reading the wt but with a husband still in and being that i am still very tied to the religion though him i want to know what is up with them in some ways.. the march 15th wt made me feel sick.
on page 5 it was talking about how we need to wait on jehovah.
it was really the same old stuff but i feel with a different twist.

The problem with their reasoning is that there is also a scripture that states , expectations unrealised make the heart grow sick. They're still trying to distort the facts on the generation fiasco . It's like somebody getting caught telling the same lie over and over and being told by many it's not realistic to begin with
so what's the point ? OHH that's right it's about urgency .

I believe the trinity is a load of bunk. the old time religions adopted it from pagans then since they controlled the scriptures simply rewrote them to give some proof of it , the bible clearly contradicts itself with it in there. The jdubs are not the only religion that rejects it . you can try unitarians.

If I were part of a cult that everyone in the world hated especially the governments since they refuse political involvement , I think I'd feel the same way. They do feel they are doing everything possible to save lives not just sitting around talking about death and mayhem .

Elder said people "rarely" die from refusing a blood transfusion
by InterestedOne ini sat in on the "know your options" reading tonight, and the elder said a couple things i was wondering about:.
1. he said if a doctor says you have a high risk of dying if you refuse a blood transfusion, he is misleading you.
he said people "rarely" die from refusing a blood transfusion.

I remember the big aids scare but believe you can suffer after a blood transfusion. I heard the WTBTS made it a conscience issue anyway. THey will never change it since there would be wrongful death law suits against them if they did. It's all about protecting jehovahs nest egg these days.

I'd say yes there were some interesting articles about the earth and science. Hard to believe they actually had some good articles on that stuff.

I'm afraid to drink tap water with the flouride in it . The jesse ventura special on bottled water was very interesting . Highly recommend the conspiracy theory show on TRUE TV
