  Why do they think sheep and goats need judgement? Also, I don't like how they look down on goats as if they were bad creatures. 😆

  This is what happens when you don't have a basic understanding of Bible 101. You end up misconstruing everything Jesus said. For Jesus was both a sheep and a goat.

  One separates the sheep from the goats because:

  1. Sheep are used for Passover, they represent keeping death away.

  2. Goats are used for the Day of Atonement(Yom Kippur), they represent forgiveness of and the taking away of sin.

  The two holiest days, one uses a sheep, the other goats. They represent Gods grace from sin and death. Anyhow, Jesus was using a simple analogy about separation in terms that first century Hebrew people would easily understand.

  There is NO class of good sheep and bad goats.

  IF they were annointed as they claim, they'd know this basic Bible stuff.

  last week where i live we had the worst wind storm in the history of our area.

  we had gust of 71 miles an hour from 3 in the afternoon till 8 at night.

  it was like a hurricane at times the wind did sound like a freight train.

  Meh, nothing new under the sun. JWs don't know the Greek word agape literally translates as charity; which was considered a form of love. And yeah, they erroneously think works means handing out literature because as posted above they skew the scriptures to fit their org agenda. Shame.

  Does Poland have an extradition treaty with the US? 😆

  Also 500k is nothing for a US Corporation to spend on an office building. A regular house (single family home) here south of NY on the East Coast starts at 300k. It's a cheap cheap buy for an actual office building, IMHO.

  But how could they put one guy in charge again after the Rutherford tyranny? Or the loon Fred Franz insanity? They both completely lost their minds on power trips.

  Their whole problem is that they are running a business

  another vomit-inducing study article.

  would just like to highlight a few paragraphs from it (blondie would probably do a more in-depth analysis as usual):.

  Talk about your dysfunctional family. Parents a stealin', kids a killin' ... brothers boinking sisters ... a hot mess of all out turpitude.

  There should have been an owl or something nearby to give Eve a warning. Maybe she'd only been alive a few days and with all the trees, you'd think a talking bird would say something.

  Divergent, yeah pretty much my point.

  The whole Cain and Abel episode tells me one thing: God doesn't like vegans because vegans are violent.

  ) and then looked it up for myself on the wt cd.

  Well, it isn't the "congregation's" disfellowship order since I doubt the "congregation" had any say in the matter. Maybe back in the 1950's JWs followed the scriptures and put matters to a congregational vote. But nowadays three guys not chosen by the "congregation" decide stuff in secret.

  That whole JW lust for Mosaic laws is what should be put to death. If it doesn't apply to Christ, it is "old light". The problem with JWs is that their leadership has continuously refused follow Christ.

  Matt5: [44] But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, [45] that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.[46] For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? [47] If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?

  I don't see anything there about rock throwing at "enemies".

  It's a good thing neither Jesus nor his Apostles owned a papyrus shop or worse, thought as JWs. The crowds of thousands would have been expected to happily return home with a scribbled scripture and growling stomachs ... like poor in means JWS leaving a Convention.

  And what the fungolio do my precious eyes have to do with God's feelings of "love"? What if I were born blind??? What kind of numnut came up with that analogy?

  Why would they have to sign a vow of poverty? Are they monks?

  Also, too, if they don't come from a rich family, they don't have money anyway. We are talking mostly 20 somethings with little more than a HS education working at a book factory, yes.
