  I'd answer by saying that we need to prove he even existed before going to question his winkie.

  Many start off with the premise that he existed.

  He didn't write any books of the Bible (that was bunged together by some geezers who did a bit of an 'eenie meenie miny mo' for this).

  There is absolutely no evidence of his existing outside of the Bible.

  I know this character was supposed to be walking mysteriously and shizz, but come on.

  The nearest are vagaries that can be crowbarred into the fiction.

  Yep! First, prove this geezer existed outside of the Bible. I'll give a hint. No one can. It's all made up!

  UN and Governing Body and an accounting

  by AnnaNana in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  joseph and mary were not in a spiritually adulterous relationship with the roman authorities, the "legs of iron".

  joseph and mary were not perfect.

  the governing body of the modern-day organization of jehovah's witnesses is not perfect.

  “Hanging the earth upon nothing”

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those of you not up to speed on the latest jw trends, one of the key scriptures the jws are using in field serve-us lately is job 26:7, wherein the writer describes the earth as “hanging upon nothing”.. this text is used to indicate the bible’s “reliability”.

  the reasoning goes something like this:.

  “see, centuries ago, people thought the world was flat, or was resting on elephants or turtles, or some such nonsense.

  Good post. Nice one Cyril!

  There are so many things 'symbolic' that the Bible must be a load of old 'bolics.

  Judgment Day

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a specific “day,” or period, when particular groups, nations, or mankind in general are called to account by god.

  .

  “i solemnly charge you before god and christ jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,”- 2 tim 4:1. seems like sins are not paid by dying or the ransom if there is a judgment in-spite of it.

  Judgment Day

  Pure fiction. It's not coming. Nothing will happen. How old are the writings that are used for this?

  People are wasting their time on being Bible (or some other 'holy' writing. Pick your poison), 'intellectuals' with constant study over something wishful through rosy coloured glasses.

  Judgement day would have come before now. It seems each generation (overlapping or not), thinks 'it' is coming in their life-time. Oh, my. Oh, my. How sad.

  There's life out there. Stop wasting time on made up stuff.

  Believe what you want, though. In my opinion, it's a massive waste of time.

  The ARC proved this is a big lie.

  I wouldn't say I don't 'respect' the Bible as such, I just don't think it is inspired by a God or Gods. There's ome good and awful stuff in it.

  However, I have the old family Bible passed down to me which is a very old KJV. That's my fave.

  Had to laugh.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.

  and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".

  " i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

  I need help putting together an outline (list of ideas or script) so I can talk to the congregation elders. And maybe I can make them reason, or ridiculously defend the inconsistencies of the Watchtower.

  That is a bad idea.

  The Elders will not see reason. They will get you shunned you without hesitation.

  Elders will not listen to anything that is negative about their cult.

  If you can just fade away, that is better.
  

  I would like to leave things in a way where you remember that the honesty of seeing things is more important than blind faith.

  I admire your honesty. However, the JWs will not. They will shun you, tell lies about you and feel that they are superior to you. They will not listen to anything that does not come from Watchtower. They will think that you speak for Satan.

  BEWARE!

  JW Obession with the trinity

  by Riley in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a few years i watched a lecture series by a man named dr. micheal heiser called the two powers in heaven, jesus in the old testament.

  funny thing was it wasn't even very evangelical in nature, so i turned off my religious binders and just watched it like a regular person.

  it turns out that the new testament is a hinge point in the bible.

  I was of the impression that the Jobots had invented their own idea of what the churches teach about the 'Trinity' and used that as a sort of straw man argument to slag off Christians.

  You know how the Jobots are.......full of their own importance and pomp. Always ready to shout about why they are superior rather than engage in honest discussions. If they think that being pious and sanctimonious will get converts and money for TOMO3 to remain perpetually drunk, they have another thing coming.
