I think what we do know is that the GC did not exist in jesus day since they are promised an escape from death when the world ends as with the LF they are expected to surrender their life on the alter to prove their worthiness for a heavenly existence as for all people your physical body must be a temple to GOD with a strong moral character all must show to be saved .

The account of Ananias and Sapphira at Acts 5 categorically proves the Bible is not inerrant
by yadda yadda 2 ingo and read it again at acts 5: 11. ananias and sapphira drop dead at peter's feet for "playing false to god/holy spirit" by not giving all of the money to peter that they got from a field they sold.
ananias and sapphira were christians.
they wanted to help the poor and so sold one of their possessions, a field, and gave most of the money to peter.

not true tec , jc judged the religious leaders for their lack of faith called them synagogue of satan and said it would go easier for sodom and gomorah on judgement day than for jerusalem , there is a difference between judgement and execution , it is believed by the WTBTS that he used the roman army to anihilate them in 70ce. The story of sophia and ananias can be examined but exactly cause of death from a CSI angle cannot be determined .LOL If we compare what happened to herod antipas we see something different as he was turned to a pile of puss and worms for blaspheme

The current purpose of the JW Corporation
by cptkirk ini think it can simply be summed up as this: to prop up as many sociopaths as possible.
the great irony being that the core principle of christianity was supposed to be empathy, and the core symptom of someone suffering from sociopathy is the inability to even comprehend the word empathy.
we've got the beast preaching brotherly love, and the church preaching burn thy neighbor lol, wtf???

You don't even get a please and thank you from them , it's all coercion, all corporations are fascist .IMO In this case they claim to be slaves of christ then they turn around and make everyone their slaves under the FDS dogma

well, I never knew any dubby's that impressed me on the intellect side , they do resort to childish techniques to get members to comply and surrender critical thinking attributes , I mean they condemn college education and I think most that persue it are born ins that don't want to lose contact with their fanatical family

there are plenty of scripture to support it , haven't spent a whole lot of time reading the bible lately , you do have jesus telling the apostles the world will hate you as it hated me and he flat out tells them they will put to death like sheep to the slaughter , In revelation you have the souls that were killed for the preaching of jesus crying out for revenge and GOD telling them to continue rest from their labors since when the last of their brothers is killed by the axe then the four winds of destruction are set loose . That's for starters

My questions for YOU
by Terry ini'm curious about human intelligence and beliefs as a natural phenomenon.. i've long suspected that even the most "normal" and well-educated person harbors "fringe" beliefs.. the purpose of this thread is not to mock beliefs of any kind.
rather it is for all of us to toss in to a pile our own unprovables so .
we can, as a group, evaluate how natural and non-neurotic such thinking might well be.. .

They've been right on occasion ,it doesn't make sense to do something like that everyday, I come from a long line of catholics but I disagree on the taking mass once a week even , I also agree with them on it's only for the elect to partake . There's more to it then they let on tho , the whole thing is a death pact so anyone believing they will survive armageddon can't be part of it .

the WTBTS claims the greek rendering says it's not everyday , I think it replaces the jewish passover so once a year makes sense to me , he was the passover sacrificial lamb ,symbolically.
