anyone who has been of this forum in the past few days has seen doubting thomas (an active jw) refuse over and over to provide even one scripture that can show how a jw can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant as described in mt.
26: 27-28. yet, he claims to believe in the blood covering of jesus while at the same time personally rejecting the new covenant "for forgiveness of sins".
his contradictory claims are common among jw's.

I thought the sins of the other sheep were absolved by their own death, not Christ's death on their behalf.
You can't have it both ways.
By the way, there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood..so whose blood was shed for their forgiveness? If you say Christ's, then they are in the New Covenant.
i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.
i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.

watchtower view on romans 6: 7 examined .
the watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.
so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!
Death does not absolve anyone from sins committed in this life
Matthew 12:36 -37 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every idle word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” NIV
Self-atonement is part and parcel of the Watchtower gospel.

Great stuff guys. I seem to remember one about the size and shape of ones brain being a factor of intelligence or spirituality. Something like that.

If someone tries to rape you, you must treat them with understanding.
Treat Him Respectfully - The intended victim should remember that the rapist is a human. No doubt there are circumstances in his life that have precipitated his behavior. So although a woman should not cower in fear and permit a rapist to intimidate her, at the same time she should treat him understandingly, as a fellow human. - Awake! 22 Feb 1984[2]
Whether to own a pocket calculator is a conscience matter that a Christian should weigh.[3]
You should kill yourself rather than have your tonsils out.
"If any overzealous doctor condemns your tonsils go and commit suicide with a case-knife. It's cheaper and less painful." - Golden Age 1926 Apr 7 p.438
As I said, these teachings have never been rescinded. Therefore, they’re still official doctrine of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Crazy, no?
If the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses were open and honest about what their religion actually teaches you wouldn't have JWs embarrassing themselves by giving contradicting answers which means I have to step in and school them all by showing them their own literature.
You know, like a cult?

Does McFree need financial help to offset his legal fees?
i will not take credit for the following.
the idea came to me during a funeral (non-jw).
the so of the deceased read 1 corinthians 13:4-8a.
No, because the GB is the evil slave.
