  If you believed the Bible was the true word of God, you'd believe...

  i dunnu, that jesus was/is worshipped perhaps.

  john 5;23 that all may honor the son just as they honor the father.

  whoever does not honor the son does not honor the father, who sent him..

  so my husband (who was never a jw) saw a christian bumper sticker today and asked me if the witnesses have any.

  i said no (not that i know of anyway) so here are a few he came up with.. 'honk if you're a zombie'.

  'my other car is noah's ark'.

  James 2:26 - "faith without works is dead"

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was contemplating this verse this morning... what did james mean by "works"?

  and it hit me like a bolt of lightning.. now, wts would have us believe these "works" are preaching and meetings.

  however, could that be what james was referring to?

  Farkel, you are right on the money!

  Works are clearly defined in the scriptures as to giving alms to the poor, the destitude, widows, orphans, elderly, etc. You know, love your neighbor the same as you'd love yourself.

  This notion of going to prisons to increase memebership is in no way 'works'. And that really sucks because many witnesses believe they are doing the Lord's work by handing out Watchtowers and Awakes and NOT helping the poorest of souls with the material needs that WE all need.

  The sermon on the mount proves [to me anyway] that people may have believed that THEY were living in the end times [remember that this generation shall not pass....], yet these people gave alms to the poor.

  respectfully,

  My quoting of Thessalonians confirms the catholic church's teachings that go back some 2000 years and changes very little.

  The WTS goes back less than 150 years and is always changing.

  Another Cardinal Falls

  the top cardinal of britian has resigned, cardinal keith o'brien, the archbishop of edinburgh, has given notice amid accusations by three priests that he made 'inappropriate contact' with them.

  he will not be able to vote in the upcoming selection of the new pope.

  the current pope has accepted his resignation.. like cardinal mahoney of the los angeles archdiocese, cardinal o'brien will be allowed to 'retire' receiving a nice pension and home paid for by hard working catholics.

  Come on Cofty. I almost don't even want to reply.....

  The catholic church is NOT responsible for the spread of poverty or aids, contrary to the beliefs of some.

  Their teachings DO promote respect of life and marraige. They do promote the spreading of the true gospel.

  Multiple partners and contraception is obviously at odds with the gospel.....sorry, I know that is not politically correct, but maybe it is correct anyway.

  respectfully...even if it doesn't sound that way,

  Sorry, I don't know where those question marks came from. I copied and pasted that from the WTS website.

  There are also many wonderful people in the Watchtower, in Scientology, in the Church of LDS, in Islam. They are all despicable organisations.

  Cofty, I know of no orphanages, food pantries, hospitals or any other volunteer institutions that help the poor that are organized by the WTS, Scientologists , Muslims or Mormons. Perhaps you do.

  I know of many sponsored and supported by the [Catholic] Church and it's members. Ordaned and lay people.

  Respectfully,
