Does Christianity Need The Bible
by Mat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
christianity began it's formation without the bible.

the bible, as we know it, is a collection of what were very old texts when they were assembled by christian leaders in the late second and third centuries because they were deemed to be inspired by god.. whether they really were inspired by god or not is now open to debate, but should they prove to not be, it should not undermine christianity as an establishment.. discuss......

New NWT - what's the REAL reason?
by wallsofjericho in
1. watchtower
2. bible
one thing i have learned over the years is there is a clear, distinct purpose to everything the wts does.

everything is done to accomplish a defined purpose.. did they really print millions of new bibles just to be more accurate?

after decades of toughting how much better the nwt was than any other bible?.

What is the main "idea" of the bible?
by KateWild in
1. watchtower
2. bible
as jws we were often told what the theme of the bible is, we were taught that it was the promised seed.. i was recently asked the question.... what is the main "idea" of the bible?.

for me the whole purpose of the bible is about control.

it features a god that punishes and rewards.

Question for ex-Bethelites or others in the know: GB members & Bible studies
by sir82 in
1. jw
2. friends
at a recent circuit event, one of the carefully scripted interviews was with a young lady who had recently moved from nyc.

she has been baptized as a jw for about one year.. she made a point, and the interviewer re-emphasized, that her bible study had been conducted by geoffrey jackson (gb member) and later by mark noumair (gilead instructor).. it seems the primary reason for the interview was name-dropping, with perhaps the idea that even "prominent bethelites" conduct bible studies "just like we are supposed to".

the young lady rambled on about being "grateful for their patience" or some such.
