i've had 2 jc's, both resulted in reproof.. but.....in church, the vicar asks us do reflect quitely on anything that we have done that we're not happy about and to ask for forgiveness in our heart.

knowing that jesus will forgive us, if we are sorry and have faith in him.

good.

Change the Channel!
by perfect1 in
1. jw
2. experiences
on another thread band on the run mentioned the jw habit of changing the channel on tv abruptly whenever something spiritually reprehensible might pop up.. recently, when i was visiting a family member, they changed the channel from sumo wrestling so that we would not see such obscene nudity.. of course, as soon as i left the room the channel would switch back.

id come in and it would switch again.

this made for a semi entertaining game of seeing how close i could get before the channel changed.

GENESIS- Adam, Eve, Noah, etc. and Original Sin
by Band on the Run in
1. watchtower
2. bible
there was a distressing thread concerning this topic recently.

there is no way i can believe these stories as literal truth or even use them as any signpost to the nt jesus/god.

these scriptures make judaism and christianity look silly.

Fallacy of Baptism "in Holy Spirit"!
by The Searcher in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the following comment taken from the march 1st 2013 watchtower, is nothing new.

to witnesses the world over it's a basic teaching which even the kids understand; "humans with heavenly prospects have been baptized in water and with holy spirit and are thus spirit-begotten disciples of jesus.

" (john 3:3, 5) (both at the same time??????).

Faith... and Trust: The Same Things?
by AGuest in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in a discussion with some other dear ones, the question was asked as to what such ones put their faith in.

in response to one comment that"one can't function without faith," another disagreed, stating ones can, that "many do so every day... the ones who have trust" (in things like the sun rising in the east versus the west).

that trust extended to "faith" based "on nature and the natural order of things.

Jesus and the Apostles return in the 21st century......where ?
by Balaamsass in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
an old co-worker who trained to be a jesuit priest, is very intrigued with the ex-jw movement.

we share laughs and have some off-beat phone discussions at times on theology.

yesterday was about money, religion and "wwjd" what would jesus do if he and the apostles actually returned today.. we decided he and the apostles would probably be seated around a picnic table in a park with a laptop writing a "blog", have a facebook "fan page", and make press releases...making it entirely possible for "every eye to see him".. the pope and the governing body would denouce them as heritics.

Immortal life or Everlasting life?
by The Searcher in
1. watchtower
2. bible
it's very interesting that 1st corinthians 15:53 has been cited in the watchtower study articles last week and this week.

that scripture, speaking about humans, translates the greek word 'athanasia' to mean 'immortality'.

can that be correct?
