What is the purpose of life?

by slimboyfat in

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Are Gods true worshippers on Earth today? If they are not JWs then who are they?

by Formerbrother in

is there gods true worshipers on earth today as jesus said there would be?

if they are not jws then who are they?.

who else comes close to being gods true followers today?.

Fernando

I thought somebody would say, somethinglike Catholics, or Muslims or some other answer are closer to the true religion than JWs.

The Watchtower only invented the concept of "true religion" and "false religion" in 1950.

Their original teaching is correct: all religion is a snare and a racket.

Jesus' followers know who they are, and who he is, apart from man-made hierarchy, dogma, organisations, positions, labels and titles.

This is a deep inner knowing that results from pursuing the liberating gospel of grace - the exact thing that unleashed the Bethel witch-hunt and purge in the early 1980's and for which Ray Franz was hounded and surreptitiously disfellowshipped.

by sp74bb in

jw
friends

i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.

many has shown interest in this situation.

the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

"parallel judicial system"

Indeed.

Sharia.

Rebranded.

As Watchtower.

Roast the bastards in the hell of their own making.

Can GB be guilty of sinning against Holy Spirit

by Chook in

the crime is ,condoning the removal of and shunning of jw children ,who when older want to express freedom of religion and attend another church.

god created family unit ,gb destroys lives on all levels of family tree.

can this be the unforgivable sin?.

Fernando

For me the GB's rejecting the Holy Spirit's testimony of the gospel of grace as demonic apostasy comes pretty close...

Well done.

I liked the discussion of "two classes" of Christians.

Undeserved kindness

by life is to short in

just a side note that i found interesting and sort of upsetting, the wt that the jw's will study on sunday the 18th of september has the words undeserved kindness mentioned 50 in just 19 paragraphs.

really they need to beat it into their people that they are very worthless and do no deserve anything from god?

so much so that they use the words over and over, don't they.. lits .

Fernando

I doubt there is anything the GB and their minions fear more than the liberating gospel of grace - the real reason behind Ray Franz' disfellowshipping and the related 1980 Bethel witch-hunt and purge.

It's not all bad news I believe.

Potentially very good news in fact...

Some could even be woken up using this article and this question:

"Is a right and clean standing with God earned or imputed?"

If imputed as a "free gift" according to scripture, and this article, then (serving and following) the Watchtower Organisation and their ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy is redundant.

Is the Jesus of religion conservative, and the Jesus of the New Testament liberal?

by Fernando in

is the jesus of religion conservative, and the jesus of the new testament liberal?.

your thoughts?.

Fernando

He spoke of how things would be in an ideal world, but understood that earth was not an ideal world, so it was fruitless and cruel to impose harsh, black and white standards on very imperfect people.

very well said FHN...
