  CO talk: "Jehovah's Witnesses killed Jesus"

  by sd-7 in

  mentioned in his talk last week that the jews, who had the name "jehovah's witnesses" applied to them, killed jesus.

  i found that a particularly revealing admission, simply from the way he said it.

  "jehovah's witnesses killed jesus," he said.. he went on to explain that the coveted title of "jehovah's witnesses" was taken from the jews.

  Maybe I have too much faith in my fellow humans.

  I have faith in my fellow humans too but I also know that there are times when no matter how much people try to do the right things greed, laziness, fear (among other things) enter the equation and muck things up for all of us. I have a lot of faith in myself but if given the right combination of circumstances I know I too am capable of doing things that I would've never dreamed of even considering in otherwise 'normal' circumstances. It is the same for everyone, even you.

  I often said to people that if Jesus came to the earth today, people would simply kill him again.

  Do you really believe that?

  In this world that we live in, ABSOLUTELY. It is about power over people, from the religious leaders to the political leaders. If someone came to earth and reached out to the lowliest amongst us while railing against the present powers that be concerning their corruption. HE WILL BE SILENCED.

  That's a fact.

  Song Book changes - the 'real' reason behind them - EYE OPENING

  it's very interesting comparing things that are removed.

  for one, new world order and new world, new order, all being eliminated from everything.

  just research nwo, "new world order", etc, to see.

  Found this from a link on freeminds.org. Funny how the song book went through so many revisions.

  Is it okay to sing from one of the older song books at the meetings?

  One of the Chrisians in our prayer group at work is a Wesleyan and he often speaks of him participating in the band, playing the guitar for the church while they sing some of the old hymns. He's told me that some of the hymns they sing date back to around the 1780's. Funny how the songs from Christendom's religions are 'timeless.'

  Taking my JW parents to a worldly relative's funeral

  by boyzone in

  on wednesday this week, my wonderful cousin james died of cancer.

  he was only 38 and had a beautiful wife and young family.

  his parents (my aunt and uncle) are naturally devastated and want all the extended family to attend his funeral which will be held in a church this coming thursday 25th feb.. as you can imagine, my jw parents have refused to go to the church service even though they will be at the gathering afterwards.

  Here are some of the answers I got when my JW in-laws went to my father-in-law's father's funeral at his church.

  Wonderful quality RePrints of Watchtower books and Publications

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are a great many reasons it becomes difficult to "prove" to active jw's that the watchtower society has had an amazing series of crackpot teachings, beliefs and assertions over the years.. first off, the availability of old publications is problematic.

  the society has cleverly sucked them out of the libraries of local kingdom halls.

  older collectors are often dead or apostate.. ebay can provide steep asking-prices.. but--a few years back, i discovered the availability of reprints in quality self-published form on lulu.com and amazon.. these reprints are beautifully done and easier to read than an old, moth-eaten, mildew-stained yellowy tome from the early era!.

  Anyway, this turned into how the Consititution can be changed. It won't be, and for that I am thankful. It keeps things like banning Gay Marriage away from Constitutional law.

  You mean like how Bush propsed the ammendment to the Constitution in 2004 to do exactly that? Yeah, that was just a purely political stunt to keep him in office to 2008 in my opinion. However, now that the genie is out of the bottle we can take 200 years to get the 2/3 majority in both houses along with the 3/5 majority of the states to ratify it (did I miss any other requirements?).

  That part to me is the part I think is ludicrous. Let's at least limit the timeline for ratifying the ammendment to, say, a generation. (AND NO, Not according to the WT Society's definition of it either.)

  Some people act like not thinking the U.S. Constitution is perfect is unpatriotic. Give me a break.

  I'm not sure if you meant this towards me or just in general but in case I wasn't clear, I do think that every system is imperfect in some way including the constitution.
