the jw/wtbt's anti-scriptural & anti-christ teaching that "a person's own death wipes out their sins" (based on their lie that romans 6:7 is to be interpreted literally) appears to have had a little wedge inserted into it.
despite making numerous accurate references to the fact that 1st century christians had figuratively died to sin, the svengalis at the top of the brooklyn pyramid point-blank refuse to discuss/cite/quote romans 6:7 and its true meaning.
page 10, par.
I always wonder about things like that. If JW. Organisation was just a money grabber why spin things like that? What difference things like that would do in the money flow? Why spin things about salvation of the soul?
That's the very reason some supernatural evil is behind this organisation.
watchtower refuses to translate stauros as cross despite having no evidence to refute the long-standing ancient belief that jesus died on a cross; and in spite of evidence that the romans were in fact using crosses in executions by jesus' day.
they shun the word simply because of the use of crosses in ancient pagan religions.. watchtower refuses to refer to their places of worship with the word church because of the word's supposed pagan origin or past usage to refer to pagan places of worship.. now contrast watchtower's self-righteous attitude of avoiding the use of all words having pagan religious usages, with the new testament verse of 2 peter 2:4:.
certainly god did not refrain from punishing the angels who sinned, but threw them into tarʹta·rus, putting them in chains of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment.. tartarus is a word that had rich pagan mythological meaning when it was written in the nt.
It's strange Jesus using a parable about Hell too. Why Jesus would use a false doctrine as analogy? JW theology is pure nonsense.
if you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.
first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.
while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.
Flashing pop-ups like "buy your own universe: just click here".
has anyone else seen that "classic" music clip in the june broadcast yet??.
"don't run too fast".
if not, do yourself a favour and watch it!.
So mainstream and vague.
Where's the eagles eating corpses? Or tongues rotting in the mouth? Jehovah needs blood.
aaaaaand .
.. it offers absolutely nothing new.. from questions from readers in the december 2016 study edition watchtower:.

so i have been studying early christianity a bit and noticed that before christianity really took off after 325 ce, there were a lot of religions.
gnostics teachings , belief in all sorts of different gods from egypt to greece .
the practice of emperor worship etc.
Same reason Buddhism took elements from Hinduism and not Mayan religion. So obvious...

But it's not a norm. This can only be made if there's no man available, and can't be institutionalised.
And baptism it's not the proper sacrament to a dying (adult) person but the unction of the sick that can only be performed by a priest.
A catholic doing this is just the same as an entire congregation of non annointed JW's partaking the emblems everyday.

a 2 million year old hominid has been discovered that had cancer in its foot - making it the oldest neoplasia found in the human lineage.
now, as to why cancer predates original sin by nearly 2 million years, i'd love to hear christian apologists try and explain.. http://sajs.co.za/osteogenic-tumour-australopithecus-sediba-earliest-hominin-evidence-neoplastic-disease/patrick-s-randolph-quinney-scott-williams-maryna-steyn-marc-r-meyer-jacqueline-s-smilg-steven-e.
According to Catholicism the human body was formed through evolution.
At one point God inserted a soul (directly created) in one humanoid and then he became the first man.
Before the insertion of a soul, it was an animal subjected to physical death as any animal.

I don't know anything about MT. I'm not trying to defend anyone but I see a total incongruence about things I know.
It's like to say JW's performing blood transfusions or giving bread and wine to dying people to get a free pass to paradise.
