Do we have the right to judge god?

by mankkeli in

do we have the right to judge god?.

this is an important question.

non-believers often become and remain non-believers because they judge that god is incomprehensible or malevolent, and therefore of dubious existence in the form believers claim.

Joey Jo-Jo

questioning the bible is not judging god (whoever IT may be).

Do we have the right to judge god? This sounds like a question cults would use, we all know too well what the WB&TS says about this, NEVER STOP QUESTIONING.

having seen in history how the catholic church/roman empire systematically wiped the gnostics from the face of the earth and attempted to do the same with all of their writings, i find it appalling when lies are told to this very day about what really happened in the first 300 years of "christianity".

regardless of what you might believe about the gnostics, they had a right to live and breathe on this earth just like anyone else.

to defend the church's position and say that it was the gnostics that "corrupted christianity" is not only woefully ignorant, but in my opinion, is like a nod of agreement that these people were a threat to the church and deserved to die.

John is the most gnostic book in the bible, I have no idea why Constantine would put this in, maybe it's in accordance with the rest of the theology but its hard not to call it gnostic.

Victoria, Australia: October 11th hearing. All five cases made it through the court...just!

by AndersonsInfo in

this is a preliminary summary only.

i hope to obtain more details later.. .

all five cases are still within the criminal justice system.

Joey Jo-Jo

There was never an incorporated entity registered in the state of Victoria.

There are:-

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CONGREGATIONS previously registered as JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (N S W) CONGREGATIONS in New South Wales

PERTH CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES INCORPORATED, SYDNEY N.S.W. CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES PTY. LIMITED, ADELAIDE CONGREGATION JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES INCORPORATED and THE DARWIN CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES INCORPORATED have all been deregistered

JW's 'tattling' on each other - an ugly culture.

by Gregor in

when i was an elder i often was approached by publishers who wanted to report some kind of bad conduct by a brother or sister.

this led to all kinds of unpleasant, unloving situations.

the first question of the accused was always "who told you this?

Joey Jo-Jo

White Dove: Australia has had very tight gun laws ever since the Port Arthur massacre. You can only own riffles, police and special detectives can have anything.

Joey Jo-Jo

I am guilty for tattling, this was about a girl I liked and he was close friends to her (they attended the same book study)), I asked if they were going out repeatedly which he denied, eventually I made a move (not much of a move), she didnt want to speak to me and he said she was not interested. It turned out they were secretly going out, she would just show up at his place un-invited, now we had been buddies for years, what upset me was he didn't trust me, lied and made me look like a tool. he also had like a double life so people in the truth thought him to be very spiritual while with I always found him to be normal.

Jealousy got the best of me, I told a truth he trusted me not to tell anyone, he owned a plastic replica of a semi-auto hand gun that fires palletes, and its illegal in this state to own one, so I told one "sister" and the rumour spread like wild fire. He's father being an elder perhaps helped, he didnt loose any privileges, the helder (his father) spoke to me after a meeting in a small room, asked if new anything about this, I lied, the elder trying to explain that a pallete gun isn't any different to a water gun, I lied and denied any involvement. I could have made the situation a lot worse by going straight to the police but I didn't.

Now that a look back, I wish I didn't waste any time in jw girls, politics or the "truth".

Has Gambling Become A Conscience Issue Among JWs?

by FreeAtLast1914 in

the reason i ask is that i have a coupe of cousins who are still jws who have gone gambling in casinos with us.

i have a brother-in-law who openly brags about his "perfect" blackjack strategy he employs in vegas when he's in town.. i know that growing up as a jw, gambling of any kind was a dfing offense.. is my jw family simply more liberal than most, or has there been a subtle shift in this area since i've been out?.

Is share trading considered gambling?
