  the greatest of love and peace to you, dear one!.

  thank you for your kind patience.

  his request to have lazarus dip the "tip" of his finger in "water" and "cool" his "tongue," tells us: there is no water in the world of the dead.

  Lazarus was a common name in Israel. It means God your help. If Lazarus and the Rich Man is a parable or at least an allegory, then there could be no relationship between Martha and Mary's brother and a fictitious person.

  God is your help was a common phrase employed by the Pharisees who claimed there hands were tied so they could not lift a finger to help the poor or disabled without jeoparding their afterlife. Very similar to JW elders who say they must leave unwitnessed alleged child molesters in Jehovah's hands.

  For the full story on Lazarus and the Rich Man, try the following explanation derived from my book entitled "Eternal Torment-Image and Reality" available @Amazon Books.

  Should Social Media Silence Conservative Views?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it very disturbing that media outlets as well as facebook, instagram, google and others decide that a point of view is not acceptable simply because they don’t share an opinion.

  perhaps it is at least right now but i think it’s very wrong.

  what’s your view?

  evidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.

  kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.

  well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.

  They will go bankrupt if they think Christian churches will buy WTS material.

  If you narrow down your thesis to Major differences, I can help you with some details.

  I. Different Jesus: Created angel vs uncreated eternal God from true God

  Ii. Different Gospel in terms of:

  a. Content

  b. Nature of salvation

  c. Criteria for salvation

  d. Means of salvation

  e. Hope of salvation

  One of the big differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and Christians is that Witnesses believe those who are loyal to 8 men in New York are the only true Christians. All other so called "christians" are agents of Satan.

  Biblical Christian's on the other hand believe that only those who are born again or born of the Spirit are Christians and are part of the Kingdom of God. John 3:3 Romans 8:9

  By the way, eight million Jehovah's Witnesses will tell you that they are not born again and do not have the indwelling Spirit.

  But I'd say the biggest difference is that Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching another Jesus and another gospel.

  Please Keep Your Religion Out Of My Mouth

  i came across this article about a dental technician forcing her religion down a patient's throat (literally).

  turns out the technician is a jw.

  it would appear she can count her time preaching to a captive audience and being paid on the job.

  Did the patient give any indication that she was not ok with the apparently one-sided discussion? Did she give some what might appear as initial indication that she was?

  There might have been some miscues here. And dental instruments do not remain in a patient's mouth throughout a cleaning. There is always time to interject a "not interested in religion" message. Here's one..."What do you think about Trump not admitting his obvious defeat?"

  The Pope's handsign was not demonic. It is the ASL symbol for "I love you".
