  Leave truth - catch AIDS???

  we had a laugh last weekend at our s.a.dthe visiting speaker was from the london bethel (bcm)during the last talk he was trying to encourage the bros not to read non society lit.

  the example he uses was of a m/s bro who used to really study his wtwell for a sunday, however he occasionally used secular sources to back up his research.. our bethel speaker in order to prove how wrong this was explained very quickly that because of this secular research, "this brother fell away and caught aids".

  the brothers and sisters in the audience where very shocked at the folly of our ex-brother.

  In the model prayer, why wasn't God name used ?

  by nojw86 in

  when jesus taught his followers how to pray why wasnt the name of god used in the model prayer.

  our father in the heavens, let your name be sancitied.

  with so many people and religions in the world how many would have known the name of god if it were used in that popular prayer.

  Your Rebellion = Watchtower Oxymoron.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are an ex-witness, regardless of the reasons that you left, did you also rebel against your creator as well as the wtbts?

  or did you just feel that jw`s didn`t have the truth, but that you were quite happy to go on believing in god, albeit accepting that your idea of god was now somewhat different?.

  according to the watchtower, by leaving the jw`s, you have rebeled directly against god.

  i managed to find a piece i wrote last year and subsequently lost.

  thanks to the archiving efforts of a very good person i have managed to get it back.

  thinking about some posts here recently regarding the genesis account of the fall of man, i recalled a conversation with a friend a few years back.

  Can the Redwoods Date the Flood?

  by Seven in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  science, biblical and anti-biblical, recognizes that there was a period of time in the distant past when the earth was barren.

  how long ago and how long it lasted is a matter of conjecture...unless one accepts the biblical record.

  but out in california, almost as far west as one can go, there stand beautiful monuments to the past-the redwoods: monuments that were seedlings when noah was laid to rest; saplings when the tower of babylon was deserted; stalwart young giants when david downed his giant.

  What is truth?

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ah!

  yes, that remark made by pilate after pilate had asked jesus wether he was a king.

  ( john 18:37-38 ).. how would you answer the question according to what we know from the bibles definition, and how the faithful and discreet slave have endeavored to give us spiritual food at the proper time?.
