  Was Judas present for the passing of the emblems?

  by Lore in

  2. beliefs

  memorial is this tuesday.

  while explaining the significance of consuming the booze and bread it is quite likely the speaker is going to make a passing remark about how jesus made sure that judas would not be present to partake.. of course he won't explain his reason for saying that.

  but here is some food for thought while you're stuck sitting there listening to it:.

  Have you ever actually talked to a psychotherapist?

  nobody in my immediate family has, as far as i know.

  there seems to be an unwritten rule against them among the witnesses.

  (or maybe a written rule i'm not aware of).

  mentally replace the word 'spirit' with 'magic'.

  14 jehovah has equipped us to resist the spirit.

  Everyone who disagrees with me is closed-minded

  by Lore in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  you know how witnesses will say they have to go to a lot of doors looking for someone 'with an open mind'.. they might even study with someone for months and then if they eventually call off the study they'll be considered 'closed-minded'.

  .

  i find that funny..

  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?.

  What good is punishment after you die?

  by Lore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when your child disobeys, you punish him.

  simple answer: so he will listen next time and won't disobey again.. if the child has a learning disorder and is incapable of learning from the punishment, odds are you will stop punishing him and will deal with his condition in other ways.. we punish children in order to change their behavior.

  if the punishment does not promote a change in behavior the punishment is useless and possibly evil.. .
