  @Mick

  All joking aside...

  

  Open the Books/City of San Francisco

  Notably, this is a chart of only documented reports — the actual amount of feces on San Francisco's streets is likely even higher than these statistics suggest.

  @ Blues

  Thanks for the info. I used it in our Jesus Witness forum. JWs are all shunning me now though. Not sure what good it will do.

  Why it's good to discuss politics (but if you don't want to, you don't have to)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i was reading through this site the other day and came across several posts by different posters lamenting this site, saying what a shame it has gone from debating jw believers to talking politics and current affairs.. there are a few issues i have with these kind of posts.. first, discussing politics is actually a good thing.

  well, in case you haven't noticed, we in the west are going through a culture war.

  certain groups of far-leftists are trying - and sometimes succeeding - to shut down free discussion.

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  I wonder how many double votes (mail-ins and in- person) get through. Democrats said it couldn't happen.

  If Trump wins, there will be hell to pay in cities throughout the USA.

  Where have the NWT Bible changed verses to fit their theology ?

  Replacing Kurios with Jehovah 237 times in the New Testament certainly legitimizes, in the mind of Witesses anyway, the Watchtower's emphasis on the name Jehovah.

  Sadly, over half those insertions are not based on quotations from the Old Testament where the Tetragrammatton is found. So the majority of replacements are designed simply to support Watchtower doctrine.

  It's rather revealing that they ignore certain NT quotations from the OT where the Tetragrammatton is found as in Philippians 2:11 which reads

  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

  Perhaps because she should at least have been disfellowshipped and shunned.

  Do Other Sheep have Eternal Life Now?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the benefits of justification is eternal life for believers.

  i found an interesting passage from the wt, june 15, 1974 which reads:.

  "it is to the spirit anointed christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the christian-greek scriptures is directed, including the promise of everlasting life.

  Good point Bobcat. The living anointed then never had immortality. In fact they could be replaced if they apostatized. Only those anointed raised in 1918 and all subsequently who died faithful were raised to imortal heavenly life.

  But as for the "Other Sheep" class, eternal life is only rewarded at the close of the millennium through ongoing work and obedience it appears.
