  to be holy, we must weigh the scriptures carefully and do what god asks of us.

  consider aarons sons nadab and abihu, who were executed for offering unauthorized fire, perhaps while inebriated.

  Full-time service is MORE IMPORTANT than taking care of elderly parents!!! It says so in the Sept 2014 WT

  by EndofMysteries in

  paragraph 20 out of the article in the sept 2014 study wt about fulltime service says this.... .

  "full-time servants age, and so do their parents.

  when parents are witnesses, likely their fondest wish is for their children to stay in their assignments.

  Great hypocrits.

  JW Kids Who Lack Sincerity: Are You In The Flipping Truth Or Not?

  by Apognophos in

  2. beliefs

  did any of you know a jw youth who didn't seem to really even try to be sincere about the "truth"?

  not someone who led a double life while pretending to be a goody-goody jw.

  i mean the kind of kid who went to the meetings and did field service while making minimal effort at maintaining a pretense of being a true believer?.

  I agree with everything snare&racket wrote.

  It irritates me when anyone doesn't think. But these kids have been trained not to think independently, they are victims of this religion. It takes a lot to give yourself permission to committ thoughtcrime against the watchtower, and even more to leave everything behind.

  Oh my goodness, I'm so angry I can't even speak! This is disgusting.

  "Women who complained that former Jehovah’s Witness elder Jonathan Rose, 40, had molested them as children relived their nightmares in front of him after he was released from jail"

  ...

  "A source, who asked not to be named, told the MEN: “Before each meeting the women were read a scripture on false witnesses and told to consider it carefully. They had to go through the abuse in detail and were asked if they encouraged it. One of the victims was asked if she had enjoyed it."

  Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

  the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.

  the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.

  I wish one of those venerated relics, nails of the true cross, turin shroud etc was real so that DNA analysis could be performed.

  I (don't) wonder if Jesus DNA would show him to be fully of human descent.

  I do wonder who his actual daddy was.
