evidently the 'boys' haven't gotten all their ducks in a row before printing the book!.
they have issued another boe ltr (will have late sunday or early monday) regarding wedding procedure and scriptural freedom to remarry!.
the ltr is dated oct 12, 2010 (so if anybody has a copy already post it or send it to me and i will post it).
If you have to ask for their permission, yea even beg for their permission by providing proof for their perusal and giving them the authority to determine if you have a right to remarry....then certainly you can expect to be obligated to do as they tell you and you are giving them authority over your marriage, your new mate, and your children.
Apply=plead, ask, beg
Proof=submiting to their authority for determination
it seems that in the folklore, it's the evil politicians and the evil priests who get the blame for the crucifixion.
in actuality, tptb put the choice before the masses of people.
it was the people who really decided.
Was it all a case of mistaken identity?
Hyam Maccoby and some other scholars have asserted thatJesus was known as "bar-Abba", because of his custom of addressing God as 'Abba' in prayer, and referring to God as Abba in his preaching. [10] It follows that when the Jewish crowd clamored before Pontius Pilate to "free Bar Abba" they could have meant Jesus.

lesabre: "barabbas.... interesting...."
According to early Greek texts, Barabbas' full name was Jesus Barabbas. [8] Later texts shorten his name to just Barabbas.
Abba has been found as a personal name in a First Century burial at Giv'at ja-Mivtar, andAbba also appears as a personal name frequently in the Gemara section of the Talmud, dating from AD 200–400 [9] . These findings support "Barabbas" being used to indicate the son of a person named Abba or Abbas.
Abba means "father" in Aramaic, and appears both translated and untranslated in the Gospels. A translation of Bar-Abbas would be son of the father. Jesus often referred to God as "father", and Jesus' use of the Aramaic word Abba survives untranslated in Mark 14:36 (in most English translations). This has led some authors (named below) to speculate that "bar-Abbâ" could actually be a reference to Jesus himself as "son of the father".

tec: "God sent Jonah to preach destruction. The Ninevites repented. God showed them mercy instead of bringing about the destruction he had threatened. You would think someone would elaborate on the lesson in that.

God sent the WT to preach destruction. WT claimed that God set a deadline---1975. When it didn't happen, it was because God decided to be lenient since more people were still coming into the fold. So God had mercy instead of bringing about the destruction he threatened.
Do you see the difference, Tammy?
what constitutes the great apostasy?.
the greek word, for apostasy, 'apostasis' has the connotation, of a 'defection from the truth, or 'falling away from'.
defection, in turn, is defined, as an abandonment of loyalty, or duty; to disjoin, or to forsake.".

So, Jesus and Paul are talking about exactly the same thing. Is not their Watchtower Magazine, the letter Paul was making reference to? As well as all of their other reading material, on various scriptural matters?
Are they not the only Religious Organization on this earth, that could possibly mislead the chosen ones? If not, someone tell me what other Religious Organization is there that could do that? There are none! Other than them! They stand alone as the 'Man of Lawlessness!'

wow. Some JWs never get past their personal arrogance. You would think JW is the only religion in the world. This tripe is as gross as the WT. I certainly do not think so highly of the JW cult as to give them credit for that much power. Nor do I believe that Jesus saw into the future and specifically had the WT in mind.
"They (WT) stand alone as the Man of Lawlessness?" I guess living in a bubble has really screwed up your thinking. If you could get past your own arrogance and your hatred, you might be able to see more clearly.
Well, Jonah preached destruction......said it was just around the corner. He put up a big billboard calendar and started marking off the days....
Everytime people went to the market, there he was greeting them with a countdown...."20 days to go" he'd say.....
"door of the ark is closing" he'd yell. Doomsday, doomsday, doomsday. It never happened.
Sign of Jonah: failed prophecy. Doomsday did not come.
"if members of the congregation are known to.
have undue association with disfellowshipped.
or disassociated relatil'es who are not in the.
And what happens when the Master returns and finds the Shepherd beating the flock?
....was a failed prophecy
