Brace yourselves: The GOOD things about the WTBS! heh

yes-lotta nonsense; a self-proclaimed "slave class" that is not a prophet but like a prophet, giving so awfully embarrasing opinions that are supposed to be automatically acceted by all of us jws...pretenders...mistakes... and moves not "discreet" at all- like the ngo united nations membership they secretly had for awhile....terrible, isn't it?.

i mean, look at the inspiring example we have in churchianity: such wonderful dogma- such as the three sadist-gods who have been torturing billions of men, women, and children for thousands of years- with eternity to go...and god making the universe in 72 hours...and backing the wars of their governments- "god and country!

", as they send their men out to war, telling them they will be blessed for it, and so many more wonderful revelations: the rapture, once-saved, tithing, etc.

"Since JW's teach that the anointed (144,000) are bought (purchased) from the Earth per Rev. chapter 7 and also chapter 14, why are there no Oriental or Latino brothers on the Governing body? Only just recently (last few years) they finally added a black brother (Samuel Herd) to the GB. I guess the heat was getting too hot in the kitchen so they had to do something to prove it wasn't an all white club at the top.

But guess what? Before Samuel Herd, in the preceeding one hundred plus years, even though there were anointed in various lands around the globe according to their yearbooks(statistics), it was an all white boy club.

And by the way, I'm white, yet from a very young age I saw this as I would look through the society's publications and read the life stories of the GB."

Mad: That's YOUR problem; I could care less- they have to answer to Christ...not me or YOU.

"How is it then that JWs started as a racist organization? "

Mad: We started with a lot of CHURC attitudes; you KNOW that is no longer the case. MB- I SERIOUSLY can't blame you; it's almost to the point where I need to bring Tums & a Barf Bag to the Hall! heh

Caliber:"The Greek word "ginoskosin" meaning "to know, intimately" is mistranslated as "taking in knowledge of" to support the Watchtower doctrine that accurate knowledge is necessary for eternal life. Changing this translation from "know You" (as all other Bible translations have it) to "taking in knowledge of You" shifts the focus from a personal relationship with God to a mere intellectual study of God to gain eternal life."

Mad: You are the VERY first person to come to see the NEAR mistake of the NWT! I thought so, too, until THINKING more about it: the ONLY way one can come to KNOW someone intamately IS to learn more about them - take in more knowledge about them...from experience. Since God doesn't appear personally and speak to us directly, it's thru His spirit & word.

"Other" BELONGS there- as confirmed by 1 Cor 15:24-28

"Exercises" conveys the greek word denoting an ACTIVE faith- unlike the Pretend Faith in CHURCHianity.

Bring 'em on!

Lady Lee- who are you, and what's YOUR story?

by theMadJW in

since they have fingered you as a mod, you should have a very interesting tale to tell; please do!.

theMadJW

Was, I understand your confusion!

Even NOW, I have to put up with a lotta BS in my congregation. But my Brotherhood has the Honest-to-God TRUTH...despite all the fallacies of men, despite the Pretenders.

So- I go to the Hall, preach to the public, study the Bible with people NOT for the WTBS, but simply to share the wonderful things I have LEARNED thru them- WARNING those I study with of the many flaws in my Brotherhood, and to FOCUS on God and Christ.

Can anyone go wrong from doing THAT?

Think I should direct them, instead, to some Church or Political Party?

casting aside what little you learned about god and christ- are you thrilled with the future of mankind?.

theMadJW

SBC, I can't TELL you how encouraging your spirit is to me.

Take my absurd illustration of Legos (Leggos? Never had them as a kid- had Tinkertoys- shows my age).

Think that they, given infinite time and chances, could form themselves into little cars or buildings?

WAS- as i

I've stated before, I am a JW because of the TRUTH, NOT because of the WTBS.

The TRUTH comes from the True God, the coprolite from men. I have NEVER believe that small group of men in NY are the "FDS"-but that ALL true Christians are.

"The universe is not art. The universe is a product of law. It is orderly. It is beautiful. But it is not art. We, and all biological life are not art, either. We are a product of law."

Law-

1a (1) : a binding custom or practice of a community : a rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority (2) : the whole body of such customs, practices, or rules (3) : common law
b (1) : the control brought about by the existence or enforcement of such law (2) : the action of laws considered as a means of redressing wrongs; also : litigation (3) : the agency of or an agent of established law
c : a rule or order that it is advisable or obligatory to observe
d : something compatible with or enforceable by established law
e : control, authority
2
a often capitalized : the revelation of the will of God set forth in the Old Testament
b capitalized : the first part of the Jewish scriptures : pentateuch, torah — see bible table
3
: a rule of construction or procedure <the laws of poetry>
4
: the whole body of laws relating to one subject
5
a : the legal profession

Control, authority, enforcement- all elements coming from Intelligence.

And if you think a baby is not ART, nor a beautiful sunset, you are FAR more ignorant than most, Lime. (NOT an insult- but a sincere observation!)

Thanks for the candor, DP. Sorry to hear that.

"If, as a rule of logic, all living things are so complex that they MUST have had a Maker, where did that Maker come from?
Or if you can accept that an incomprehensibly complex spirit did not need a designer, why could you not say the same for the incomprehensibly complex universe?"

As a "rule of logic" we HAVE an example of something without Beginning nor End- Space. Not understanding HOW a Being could always exist doesn't rule it out at ALL, whereas hitting the lotto millions of times in a row DOES.
