  Good games that are fun in my opinion are Tiny Wings and Doodle Jump. World of goo as well is a good puzzle game.

  Aposates do not attack Jehovah, Jesus, the Holy spirit, or anything about the bible. Just the imperfect dozen men who run the Watchtower and their view of the bible.

  How can JW's not believe in the soul and yet believe in the spirit?

  by Terry in

  this is a real puzzler.. for christendom at large there is no problem in thinking of humans as a body (tent) which houses the soul.. for jehovah's witnesses the human is the tent.

  no soul is contained.

  (they make "soul" the same as body.).

  being resesurected from memory is nothing more then being cloned. It may have the same past, thoughts, scars, ideas, thinking pattern, but by definition it is not a contination of you. it's a clone.

  Was Judas Present During "The Lord's Evening Meal"?

  by dontplaceliterature in

  so...i heard the speaker during the memorial mention this.

  he said for a fact, that judas would not have been present.

  however, upon reading luke 22, you see clearly that the argument about judas started after jesus instituted the new covenant.

  Yes. He was. This is different versions of John 13:26 http://bible.cc/john/13-26.htmSop: A sop is a piece of bread or toast that is soaked in liquid food and then eaten. In medieval cuisine, sops were very common. Sops were served with wine, soup or broth, which were then picked apart into smaller pieces to soak in the liquid. At elaborate feasts, bread was often pre-cut into finger-sized pieces rather than broken off by the diners themselves. The word "soup" is a cognate of "sop", both stemming ultimately from the same Germanic source.
  
  New International Version (©1984)
  Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.

  New Living Translation (©2007)
  Jesus responded, "It is the one to whom I give the bread I dip in the bowl." And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

  English Standard Version (©2001)
  Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

  New American Standard Bible (©1995)
  Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

  International Standard Version (©2008)
  Jesus answered, "He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish." Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

  GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
  Jesus answered, "He's the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I've dipped it in the sauce." So Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

  King James Bible
  Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.

  So in conclusion, not only was Judas there, he PARTOOK of the emblems. By eating the wine soaked bread.

  I'll put money on it that they will soon tell people that those undeserving of a heavenly hope that partake will be sinning against the holy spirit.
  
  What do you guys think?

  WTBTS/JW Related Internet Radio Talk Show

  by PublishingCult in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i have been thinking about this for a while now, and i have decided to launch a non-profit internet radio talk show centered around jw/wtbts issues and related topics that may or may not be specific to the jw religion.

  long before i jumped in to the six screens controversy, i considered doing something like this, and i think i am now ready to begin.

  the format will be non-sensationalist, informative, educational, rational, objective, and i want no recognition for myself, and as little attention as possible.

  I can't wait till they bring up the topic at the kingdom hall for one of the upcoming WT's. I know a number of bethelities that are nurses, and it just dawned on me today what they would think of those types of articals. Just the bethelites that have an university education.

  Is "Lying for the Truth" a real expression among JW's or just something apostates or worldlies made up?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i've read some of the "theocratic war strategy" articles, etc., i have heard some on here use the expression "lying for the truth.

  " is that an expression jw's say among themselves?

  also, does it appear in an article anywhere?.

  Pretty much yes. Doesn't tell them to lie, but just to keep information away from those not deserving.
