  This good news of the kingdom

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  growing up around the faith, whenever i heard something taught, i'd always think there is a different way of looking at that, probably better.. we always hear "this good news of the kingdom will be preached... " matt 24:14.. so i think, is there more to it than preaching the kingdom?.

  luke 17:21 the kjv and asv says "neither shall they say, lo here!

  or, lo there!

  To be brutally honest, I think looking at the Bible as an inspired 'Holy Book from God' is a mistake.

  There are some good bits and bad bits. A lot seem more like metaphors than true stories.

  Anyway, or anyways, with an 's' on the end for my American cousins......

  If one must take this stuff seriously, how about Luke 10:7....although you could argue it's about hospitality more than door knocking.....but hey, why not interpret it how you want...every other bugger does

  Luke 10:7
  New International Version
  7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

  I wouldn't even ask them to prove it because it'd just become a meaningless word salad of boring proportions.

  Best leave it that they're talking shite!

  Like with all religious nutters, going in to Bible wording....it's pointless and monumentally time wasting.

  So what did the circuit overseers do during lockdown?

  by ozziepost in

  so reading that the dubs are going back to their kingdumb halls got me thinking, i guess they haven’t been getting their regular inspections from thier circuit overseers.

  if they haven’t had their meetings, the inspectors couldn’t visit - or did they?

  i’m intrigued.

  I don't care anymore. I'll bet they were devising new ways to scrounge off the sheeple.

  I got one. I didn't pay much attention to it. It was something about 'we have you down as a do not call'...

  They pay the postage and the WBT$ don't give them anything. The individuals pay for it all themselves.

  the grift continues and AM3 is still getting drunk using their money.

  Qit - Your faith was built on the WTBS?

  I'm not sure what that means? I had a belief system set up around what came from the Americans at WT HQ. It was supposed to be from the Bible.

  Not sure if that's what you mean.

  After leaving the slaveholdery of the WTBT$, I became a mainstream Christian I think you could say.

  Funnily enough, it was in a Church I concluded there was probably no God as per Bible or other 'Holy' book.....and probably no higher creating, influencing power at all. (I mean there is naff all out there and never was that made or guides us).

  ...............but I could be convinced otherwise with some sort of tangible evidence.

  This reminds me of a 'Brother(tm)' back in the 1960's who was a bit of an attention seeker and when this very subject arose said, 'I say Fill-list-tee-ahn!'

  What a twat. He's dead now, so was it all worth it?

  Wow. I've come back to a lot of reading. Most interesting to see differing views. Thanks for your input. Whereas I try to give individual comments, I'm struggling this time.

  I will say, I wish you all the very best, Peaceful Pete.

  Blimey. 007 has lost some weight.

  Bluesy - I was thinking just how differently I read this stuff today than I did as a young man. Those of us brought up within it know that on Tuesday nights we were fed a diet of the Babylon Book, The Finished Mystery Book , The Revelation Book .

  Oh, my word. How I remember those awful Tuesday book studies. Such depressing times. when my friends at school were watching Doomwatch and other delights, I was sat with some weird people agreeing with mentally retarded views. Similar to......
