Like Father, Like Son

by cofty in

when faced with awkward questions about the morality of god many christians respond by distancing themselves from the old testament and focusing on "gentle jesus meek and mild" of the new testament.. for bible-believing christians this is intellectually dishonest.. according to christian dogma jesus was the god of abraham isaac and jacob.

the logos, the alpha and omega who is "the same yesterday, today, and forever.".

he claimed that "he that has seen me has seen the father" and that "i and the father are one".. in short, christians assert that jesus is almighty god from all eternity.. it therefore follows that jesus was the god who ordered the nation of israel to take slaves as inheritable possessions.

If there was a God, should the circumstances have been kinda like the JW's Paradise? Is that what I'm getting here?

No, you're missing the point altogether. Jesus as a reflection of the father is dishonest because Jehovah didn't act in same manner as Jesus did when on earth (according to the gospels). Jesus was in effect a revisionist explanation for the God of the old testament. The reason for this is that ancient Israel was a product of the times they lived in.Their God was a reflection of those times. Mankind created God, not the over way around.

friends

i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?

etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.

i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.

I don't think they are going anywhere for awhile, numbers may decrease but they will still be around. They may stop the printing presses but they will still be publishing to JW.org. Think about this they have survived false predictions about 1914, 1925, 1975, and the generation that will not pass away. Still the followers are there they are trapped.

Tight Pants

by pixel in

today is friday.

so let's see something refreshing on the new june 2016 study wt.

tight pants!.

JW_Rogue

I don't get how they can complain about spanx.....they are undergarments that are worn to minimize flabby rolls of loose flesh. They looking up sister skirts these days?

He said spanx but it became clear later that he was talking about spandex gym clothing or yoga pants on women. That's just too sexy instead they should wear baggy shorts and an oversized hoody if they want to work out. LOL While some of the stuff he talked about could be considered immodest, isn't that supposed to be up to the conscience of the individual? By naming specific fashions he is making up his own rules when these are supposed to just be principles. He even had the nerve to say "some of you might not like what I have to say but everything I say will be backed up by our publications". So he is saying that he is going to back up what he says by using something that he directly had a part in writing. Shouldn't he be backing up his ideas with scriptures? LOL And with the attention of millions of JWs tied into this broadcast he decides to give a downer of a talk just to let everyone know that they aren't spiritual enough, this guy is in charge?

Caption This Photo From The January Study Edition

by JW_Rogue in

so as some are probably aware the january study edition has two articles on the anointed.

one basically discouraging people from believing they are anointed and another about how ones should view partakers.

this photo is from the second article:.

This Website Was Mentioned By The Governing Body

by JW_Rogue in

okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.

and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".

he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

I' m a bit puzzled by the angle taken in the OP, so please help clarify and/or answer if you can.
Contrary to the OP title, the unnamed GB member referred only to the internet and did not actually name this very website.
And from what he said, you deduced he was referring to this website?

If you'd like the name of the GB member you can PM me but I don't want to put it out there as it could give too much info about myself (I know it's a bit paranoid). Yeah, the title is a little misleading but still an interesting topic nonetheless. Plus his description really did make me think of this site, where else do people discuss, criticize, and research the JW organization all in one place? Plus he mentioned that many thought they were intellectual by doing so. Sounds like a lot of the posters here (which is good thing).

Every posed stance, facial expression etc is to 'teach' an idea - to infer something, to shape the mind and so often, it has a sharp ring of judgement about it. No doubt a question will be asked at the study concerning this photo - probably on the lines that one shouldn't judge who is or isn't a partaker

Yes, that is what the real caption was about. It ridiculous that in one article they try to discourage people from partaking and in the next article they say "respect those who partake". Complete contradictions! However, his facial expression leaves it open to so many interpretations that it's actually pretty funny.

I just laughed a little cause I knew what website he was talking about.
