  Some Biblical historians have suggested that Sodom was leveled as punishment for their tolerance of violence and refusal to extend hospitality to strangers.

  Watchtower Changes Position On Sodomites

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why all the flipflops?.

  1886 sodomites resurrected = yes!“thus our lord teaches that the sodomites did not have a full opportunity; and he guarantees them such opportunity… it implies their awakening, their coming from the tomb.”—the divine plan of the ages, 1886, pp.

  110-111 (view pdf of these pages).

  "Watchtower Changes Position On Sodomites"

  Is this really so surprising?

  I'm sure "sodomites" change positions from time to time, after all.

  What “Secret Sins” Do You Think Many JWs Are “Guilty “ Of?

  i know a lot of witnesses that drink a lot!

  secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues.

  some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one..

  JW GoneBad - "...they'd rather be dealing with an outbreak of immorality or pedophiles..."

  Well, they're spoiled for choice, then, aren't they?

  “Do not gaze about!”

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so many changes in the 2013 nwt seem needless and spoil familiar phrases.

  take isaiah 41:10 in the nwt classic rendering:.

  do not be afraid, for i am with you.

  smiddy3 - "I really dont see the point in them revising the Bible as they do? To make more money?"

  An important rule of thumb to remember... every decision the Org makes...

  ...every decision...

  ...is geared (to varying degrees) towards reinforcing the fiction of "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization".

  Sure, money's a factor, but only insofar as it serves that overarching purpose.

  Know what's really funny?

  Lett probably wouldn't even realize the show was for kids.

  Stephen Lett should host a JWTV show specifically aimed at Witness kids.

  He's already a weird-ass mashup of Applewhite and Mr. Rogers.

  This suggests to me that the WTS has allowed itself to become too married to its cosmology for its own good.

  Instead of letting (what should be) obvious theological mistakes just fade away like they used to...

  ...they double-down...

  ...and inevitably end up being even more wrong than they were before (not to mention paint themselves into ever-tighter ideological corners).

  Do the Jehovah's Witnesses have to be revoked of their KdöR status in Germany?

  the fallout from the regina spiess dossier continues.

  no wonder why jehovah's witnesses challenged her in court and lost big time.the following is an extract from this article.

  although the judgment is not binding for german courts and authorities, it is nevertheless relevant in terms of content, since the teachings and practices of jehovah's witnesses are approximately the same worldwide.

  Honestly, I wonder sometimes just how the WTS has managed to keep its tax-exemption in the developed world as long as it has.
