  "Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

  by yourmomma in

  2. bible

  have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

  its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

  if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

  To be precise: This magazine is not promoting or condoning men hitting their husbands. The implication is, "hey, he's worldly, don't expect him to be peaceable."

  It doesn't outright condemn him for hitting his wife, but I believe that's a given based on their other articles about how a christian husband should be loving..

  The major fail is not what this paragraph is telling husbands, the major fail is what the watchtower is telling wives. Namely: If you are in a physically abusive relationship, you should stick with him instead of leaving. And that's just horrible advice.

  Good advice: Don't be rude to your violent husband or he might hit you.

  Much better advice: Leave your violent husband in a ditch.

  The night before, Steve had hit me as I had tried to prove a point, and I was feeling sad and sorry for myself.
  
  . . .
  
  Realizing that I needed to adjust my thinking, I prayed to Jehovah to help me be more loving toward Steve.

  That's right woman, it's YOUR fault. He shouldn't have to repeat himself.

  He's your head.

  Which means you're his body.

  He's supposed to pummel his body.

  So take it like god says!

  Apples and oranges.

  Can you have love without freedom?

  I loved my parents when I was 9. (I still do, but 9 is the example I'm going with here)

  I had no freedoms to speak of.

  If I didn't love them it's not like I could just leave.

  Why are letters from John and Paul included in the Bible?

  by Lore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't see much difference between paul writing a letter to the corinthian congregation and the gb writing a letter to the timbucktoo congregation.. is what paul wrote to the ephesians just as fallible and subject to 'new light' as the letters the wts writes to congregations today?.

  if a letter from the governing body today which says it's immoral to have an organ transplant can be dead wrong and changed later.

  can the letter from paul which says it's wrong to eat blood be dead wrong and subject to change later?.

  I'm just curious why simple letters would ever become considered the inspired word of god. (I'm also curious why anything written by a human would be considered the inspired word of god, but lets not go there in this topic mmmkay?)

  Lastly, in Revelation it says not to add or remove anything from these words.
  I'm purdy sure this was just talking about the book of Revelatoin, but witnesses apply that to the ENTIRE bible.
  If nothing should have been added to the scriptures after Revelation, and 1st 2nd and 3rd John were written AFTER Revelation, then they can't be scripture can they?

  I guess the only way to make sure you don't die alone is to become a suicide bomber. . .

  But he was talking about the temple of his body.

  In the Bible “three days” does not necessarily mean three full days

  I didnt mean torched I ment when he was on the stake and died

  I have decided that figurative speech should NOT exist. End of discussion. We'll all be better off.
