  Evidence of Jesus being Married?

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/jesus-wife-fragment-is-not-a-fake-scientists-claim-9253395.html.

  a harvard professor is claiming a fragment of papyrus seemingly mentioning that jesus had a wife is an ancient document and not a forgery, following a series of tests.. the text is written in coptic and contains a dialogue in which jesus refers to "my wife.

  "karen king, a professor at the harvard divinity school, writes in the harvard theological review that the papyrus is almost certainly a product of ancient christians and probably dates to eighth-century egypt, based on carbon dating and chemical tests on the ink.. none of the testing has produced any evidence that the fragment is a modern fabrication or forgery, prof king and her team concluded.. the fragment, which has some legible lines on the front and on the back, contains the words: jesus said to them, my wife .... she will also be my disciple.. james yardley from columbia university, and alexis hagadorn from columbia university libraries, used a technique called micro-raman spectroscopy to determine that the carbon character of the ink matched samples of other papyri that date from the first to eighth centuries ce.. malcolm choat from macquarie university examined the fragment at hds and offered an independent assessment of the handwriting.. prof king first announced the existence of the fragment in september 2012, at the international coptic congress in rome, where she dubbed it "the gospel of jesus's wife.".

  at the extj.com forum, a very serious scandal is being discussed regarding a potential misappropriation of funds by mexico's branch.. http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?24740-denuncia--quot-proyecto-fantasma-quot-salon-de-asambleas-de-guadalajara-o-robo-de-fondos.

  though the situation may not be quite uncommon, below you will find an overview:.

  a member of mexico's branch committee went to guadalajara to inform the brothers that a plot of land had been donated for the construction of an assembly hall.

  Typical WT....I was raised in that cult, and I know lots of iniside information. My dad was CO, and he knew members of the GB and Freddie...any way, I can tell you my experience, and I'm sure it happened to many other places in the World.

  A brother donated the land to build a KH. We all contribute for that with money, plus we all worked for free for the building work. WT gave NOTHING!!! At the end of the day, the hall was used by 3 congregations, and we all have to pay RENT to the society, because we are using the hall!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I mean that's ridiculous: We build the hall, donate money, work for free, and WT comes and asks RENT...Boy and they call them selves NON Profit Organization....

  Deuteronomy 22:28,29. Thank Jebus nobody pays attention to this f*cked up part of "God's inspired word" any more.

  28 if a man happens to meet a virgin girl who is not engaged and he seizes her and lies down with her and they are discovered,+29 the man who lay down with her must give the girls father 50 silver shekels, and she will become his wife.+ because he humiliated her, he will not be allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.

  hi fellow speakers (sorry, brothers only!):.

  my first public talk, given in my early 20s, was actually a twenty-minute part of a symposium talk.

  my pioneer partner friend and i each had twenty minutes and a "servant" had the concluding part.

  What Is The World View Of America?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a lot of people felt that the usa's reputation was terrible, especially under president bush.

  then obama became president and we heard how the rest of the world felt that finally they had a person that would respect them and their views and work with them!

  the new president even ot a nobel peace prize because of the world's perception.. what's your view of america?

  Same sex marriage legalised in the UK at midnight tonight!!!

  by DuvanMuvan in

  title pretty much explains it all.

  lots of people are getting married at midnight tonight.. what do you guys think?

  maybe if anyone gets called on by a jw this weekend you can ask them what they think about it.. im just glad because it shows that religion doesn't define our conscience, that basic human decency can prevail over time and hopefully, these types of gradual but big changes will be present in the wts too in the future .

  Sea horses are hermaphrodites as well(by the way do you know the exact meaning of the word without google search)

  Even in humans we find that a male can have more female hormones, and actually be a man in woman's body!

  Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates

  by williamhconley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

  "jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

  fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.
