  How many anointed disciples were in the 1st Lord's Meal?

  by hardtobeme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the bible, none... all 12 partook of the emblems.

  jesus told them to partake even thought they were not anointed with holy spirit yet.

  they were anointed at pentecost.... and judas was present too according to luke 22:21.. watchtower says that luke's chronological order is wrong.

  Just one more reason that the book is not inspired. Wouldn't true inspiration prevent mistakes or conflicts like this?

  Why Are You Here?

  the question, "why are you here?

  " is simple enough, and your answer may be straightforward.

  however, when i asked that of myself, i find that my answer is pretty complicated.

  I come here because I have family still in, tiptoeing around subjects that I shouldn't have to.

  I have been out so long that it isn't even the religion I grew up in. Sometimes I think the only thing that is unchanged is the disfellowshipping and the door to door. We need this forum to vent and learn why all the things that seemed "not right" were truly wrong. I am so glad it is still here.

  there's a number of bible principles mentioned but ultimately, they say it's up to you.......... can you think of any other questions that we could ask to see if we can do something or not??

  DO YOU BELIEVE ARMAGEDDON WILL EVER COME?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes i look at the world and i think "man, how much longer can it go on?

  " sometimes i think perhaps armageddon will come in my life-time.

  the one scripture i always think of is the one in revelation where it says that jehovah "will bring to ruin, those ruining the earth.

  I am inclined to agree with the poster that said everyone has there own Armageddon.

  Whether the earth itself will be destroyed (in my opinion) could be be determined if some idiot gets hold of the nuclear bomb.

  YESTERDAY'S ASSEMBLY SUCKED........

  well, i got dragged, kicking and screaming talked in to going to the assembly yesterday as a friend of mine was in the drama.

  what a freaking waste of time interesting experience.

  first of all, i had a tough time squeezing my larger than life ass bum into a seat that looked like it was made for a house-elf small child.

  i originally thought of posting this thread last week when a thread was started last week: .

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/104099/1.ashx .

  this girl didn't seem to realize the extent of the "apostasy" on this thread.

  What kind of atheist are you?

  by Narkissos in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  chief rabbi leon ashkenazi said: "the difference between an atheist christian and an atheist jew is that an atheist christian does not believe that god exists, while an atheist jew believes that god does not exist.".

  i'm not so sure about the jewish-christian borderline, but i love the nuance.. so which sentence suits you better?.

  "i don't believe that god exists.".
