Sunday's public talk...
by kzjw in
1. jw

went with the wife this week for the public talk (i simply will not sit through the watchtower study), the subject was about how poorly governments are taking care of thier people in disasters.

the speaker(who had a british accent) started by saying "burma(myanmar) had 2 tsunamis and the government sent flat screen tv's as aid for the refugees..." needless to say this dillweed lost me for the next 30 minutes of his talk about how man can't care for god's people.

i left during the study as always and returned at the end of the meeting, still burning over the glaring lie told by this "brother" which by the way no one even batted an eye in the congregation!

Sunday's WT Study Article (May 18)

this sundays watchtower lesson is titled who is wise and understanding among you?.

its mostly a rehash of past material concerning the need to be cooperative with fellow christians for the peace of the congregation.

however, i suspect that whole point of this study article is actually contained in paragraph 14 where it talks about elders who might be removed from their position if they are deemed by the body and the co as no longer meeting the scriptural qualifications laid out for the position.

Is the Bible REALLY the "Word of God"?
by nicolaou in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
it can be picked apart scientifically and it's prophetic claims don't withstand scrutiny.

surely god could've come up with something more convincing?.

if the almighty had started genesis by establishing his credentials thoroughly i'd be more inclined to take the rest of the book seriously.
