  The Clear Biblical Case Against "The Memorial".

  hello jwners,.

  i was reading acts 20 the other day and noted how it makes a clear case against the annual "memorial" as instructed by the wt.. acts 20

  paul in macedonia and greece6 but we sailed away from philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and in five days we came to them at troas, where we stayed for seven days.. eutychus raised from the dead7 on the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.. .

  Hi Stephen! It's been a while to see your posts! Love your scriptures still! <3 Hope all is well... you should quote your favorite scriptures on FB and so I can see them daily on my phone! (It was a suggestion no worry or pressure... I just know I would enjoy it.)

  I also want to point out that Jesus said "keep doing this", where did he say that it must be done that same DAY yearly, and that it must be after sundown wherever you live? I got such a laugh out out watching someone run out side to make sure the sun had actually set. If they took it as seriously as they make it out to seem, then it would be after sundown in Jeresualm, no?

  haha good one!

  Wow thanks for sharing Fernando, very interesting. Why do you use the word "Imputed"?

  I've heard Jehovah's Witness when I was in use the terms, righteousness, holiness, eternal life, even freedom! ha (drink lifes water free is what they say all the time... poison is what I say. ha)

  Is Exorism the same as what they have on tv and movies and stuff? lol Just curious. My husband's great uncle is a missionary and has done exorisms supposely... I never seen it but my husband mentioned it, and says he don't like talking about it.

  The other terms are a bet new to me... I think I heard it in movies or tv shows briefly.

  Thanks for sharing Fernando.

  Sorry I was on my Blackberry when writing that post. It's hard to write and doesn't have caps, I'm on my hubby's computer now. :)

  Anyways, yeah I was reading a book called Letters From A Skeptic by Dr. Gregory A. Boyd and came across the word "Immanuel"!! Gee that word again was mentioned at a Christmas song at my mother in laws church.

  I'm now thinking what other terms do we not use that Christains do use.

  just read too babies/toddlers are born to be helpful! when done a study on a baby/toddler seeing a person struggle to get something they ran over to help and same study was done with the person not struggling and the baby/toddle gave no reaction. (babycenter.com on the topic born helpers, i get their emails)

  People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?

  by Momma-Tossed-Me in

  this deserved its own thread.

  one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.

  although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

  I still don't believe in Hell or the trinity either. Never will I don't think. Just doesn't hold any weight over one idea over the other.

  Yeah 00DAD... I 'was' in the same boat (or 'am', depending how you wanna look at it). :( It is sad and I feel ashamed now I was even part of all that, I was one of them at one point. All I can say is I'm different now and am alot happier... I found people who genually care too, and I have to thank the people (JWN) here too!

  ...totally with ya on that one again. ;)
