  What's worse, 2 week old getting nearly 100 rat bites and living, or Jesus' torture and death?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  some 35 miles from here, in the small town of magnolia, ar, a teen couple is in trouble -- as they should be -- for allowing their 2 week old girl, a 5 pound baby, to suffer nearly 100 bites from rats.

  one of the bites was so large and deep it required plastic surgery.

  i don't want to even think about the horror this teeny creature felt during those instances -- and the horrible nightmares she may suffer in years to come.. i wonder if this is one of those human experiences that may be worse than what christ suffered on that stake.

  Ransome sacrice? It's human sacrifice to placate the angry God's, by any other name.

  Whilst I think many have suffered at least as much - burning on the stake comes to mind, something that " gods" people apparently did With wayward daughters - I think the real issue is that Jesus was only dead for a couple of days. What is that time period to an immortal God? He can hardly say he " sacrificed" his son (in the way that Abraham would have done for instance) since he can metaphorically ' click' his fingers and his son is alive. In what way is that a ' sacrifice'? If you believe the story Judas was more of a sacrifice, since it was preordained Jesus must be given over to the authorities. Someone had to do it, or you don't have a ransome, and that patsy was poor old Judas the eternally damned.

  silly observations from that '1975' video...

  okay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the wts is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975).

  other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so i won't dwell on that here.. but, what i will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design.

  feel free to add to the list.. early scene where the wife is dying.

  I noticed too that the man playing the widowed grandfather wouldn't have been old enough to have been a young married father in the time period they were depicting.

  Yes, he would have been a young widower in *at least* the late seventies, early eighties. 60s? He would have been a kid himself. Way after '75 anyways.

  I noticed the " you've endured so much grandfather". Not because his wife died but because of '75.
  

  They fail to say the whole debacle was started by one man, a future president of wtbts, fairly high on the autistic spectrum I would imagine, who imagined he could decern that the end of the world was gonna happen in the *October* of 1975, no less!

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  Jesus as God. What do JW believe?

  by Th3ArCh0n in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been looking into jehovah's witnesses beliefs and came up with a serious question, as i've found is that witnesses don't believe that jesus is god, same with the father.

  but even in the new world translation, isaiah 9:6 (one of the ancient prophecies of jesus christ) it says "for a child has been born to us,+.

  a son has been given to us;and the rulership* will rest on his shoulder.+his name will be called wonderful counselor,+ mighty god,+ eternal father, prince of peace.

  David_Jay, what do Jews believe " Olam Ha Ha" is, particularly Orthodox Jews.

  Where is it mentioned in the scriptures?

  Many thanks, Your contributions are really so valued.

  Saying 'rest' in peace, or more often writing R.I.P after a deceased person's name, is primarily a way of showing respect to the dead person and the feelings of their relatives.

  Like so much of What we do ( toasts etc) Its nothing to do with belief and everything to do with the feelings of others ie toasting the Bride and groom is just showing a shared happiness and showing you wish them well on their wedding day.

  Watchtower seems to use all these micro manage behaviours to take every opportunity to make ordinary jw's feel different and put a big, rude divide between them and non jw's. Its cruel.

  Lets be honest, not a little leery of the resurrected ones????

  by James Mixon in

  maybe i have watched too many zombie movies but i would sleep with one eye open, inquire to see what is your favored menu,do you sleep walk, are your body parts functioning properly (i would hate to shake your hand and it fall off).

  your wife never married after 10 years and now you are back, can you perform in the marriage bed?

  ?it would be hard for me to sleep at nights with someone that have been dead for over one year sleeping next to me.

  MOrpheus Whats worse is that because the wt dosent teach that people have unique souls nobody is "resurrected". They are instead copies of The original who think they are the original

• Yup. Different bodies *and* memories wiped so they don't remember their past with dead friends and loved ones.

  How is that the same person jw apologists?????

  That's the problem With Watchtower, no philosophers to think their absurd theology through. Its not for nothing mainstream religions came up with the non physical soul. There's no other logical option if its to be the eternal life of the *same* person
