  The canonised Old Testament is no different from the Apocrypha except with more scary fables and mythology

  by fukitol in

  the apocryphal books are accepted by catholics in their douay version as inspired of god, but rejected by the rest of christianity?.

  why?.

  when you examine the reasons for and against acceptance of the apocrypha as divinely inspired or not, it dawns on you that the traditionally accepted 39 books of the hebrew scriptures are nothing but the same sort of stuff as the more recent apocryphal books are, with the only difference being that the 39 much older ot books contain a lot more scary stories, fables and mythology invented by the ancient jewish priesthood to frighten their followers into fear and obedience and continued giving of meat sacrifices for the priests to eat.. ultimately, the ot can be summarised as nothing but a mixture of relatively accurate historical jewish war histories and genealogies, such as the aprocrypha is, mingled with scary stories made up by the ancient jewish priests and scribes..

  Interesting observations. I have not read the apocryphals through, but I often wondered what makes humans so arrogant and sure that they dont belong in their "holy" collection of canon.

  This is so stupid and simpleton. And to think I wanted to go back to PSS a second time. "Dimming as Deceivers" should be the title of that useless book.

  i've been df'd for about six weeks now.no one has broken the obligation to "honor the disfellowshipping decree".that's the way notorious co paul kohler describes the "loving arrangement" that is jw shunning.

  ( just "serving" napa ).

  so, my wife's family has been "loving me" ( barf ) when out of nowhere, one of them sends home homemade soup for me.... well, i got super pissed.

  Cognitive dissonance, anyone?

  I recently learned that while my sister was df my mom would regularly call her and say, "I only have a few minutes while your father is out. I love you and I miss you. Ok, gotta go, don't tell anyone we talked! " ...SAD.

  When did the Great Crowd start forming?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  i realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.

  what would be the earliest date?

  any ideas or quotes from wt literature?

  I remember old ones saying how "relieved" they felt when it was announced not everyone is going to heaven because they personally didn't want to go to heaven.

  I just don't want to go anywhere, if they're there!

  ... And we got SW tickets to the 3rd show time ( why is that a part of this thread?).

  We missed you at the meetings

  by punkofnice in

  a vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?

  they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.

  well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.
