  Friday crucifixion?

  by rstrats in

  it is my understanding that jws believe that the crucifixion occurred on friday.

  however, luke 24:21 would seem to indicate that it couldn't have occurred any later than thursday.

  how do you explain the seeming discrepancy?

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  Heretic!!!

  by cellomould in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after the roman church had consolidated its power in the early middle ages, heretics came to be regarded as enemies of society.

  the crime of heresy was defined as a deliberate denial of an article of truth of the catholic faith, and a public and obstinate persistence in that alleged error.

  at this time, there was a sense of christian unity among townspeople and rulers alike, and most of them agreed with the church that heretics seemed to threaten society itself.. however, the repression of heresy remained unorganized, and with the large scale heresies in the 11th and 12th centuries, pope gregory ix instituted the papal inquisition in 1231 for the apprehension and trial of heretics.

  daniel 8 for dummies - part 2: "the watchtower strikes back" .

  i've posted this one before, but it's been updated and is especially geared for you true believing dubbies out there.

  what i'm going to discus is important even though you may not have the attention span to digest it, because this is your religion and what it still teaches.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why was there no official arrangement before 1952 to disfellowship people?

  was there a different procedure with a different name?

  was no one committing disfellowshipping offenses?
