anyone got any idea how they do it?
do they understand what they are saying?
are they talking real languages or just jibberish?.
I've heard 'em, but don't understand and have never spoken them.
Sounded vaguely Hebrew to me (I think there was a "Rabboni" in there, or something like it).
I wouldn't state that all cases are necessarily kosher, though.
It always makes me laugh when people discount something because it's outwith their personal experience. So much for balancing an open mind with skepticism.
(Sorry, just a little personal musing).
"thichi" asked in my previous post about some of the 'anointed' experiences i alluded to, especially those that i mentioned that were somewhat painful.
here is one such event that i have relayed before in shorter comments:.
i was an elder at the time, visiting in pennsylvania on business.
Sorry, I missed this thread, only finding it after seeing the part two thread.
Matt.24:28.
This would have been interpretted but the C.O. in a typical dub context of verse 45.
I also agree that all Christians are "anointed".
It's only the borg that has assimilated that expression to produce a hierarchy.
A key passage is actually Romans 8:15,16.
hello, i am new to this website, but have to be straightforward and say that i do not agree with most subjects and contents.
i am an active jehovah witness, but i am very lonely so i am looking for others with the "hope" or to speak to those that know someone that does.
it has been a long , hard road for me.
Lotus:
I, too, have the "hope", but like many before me I have left the JW's.
I wasn't DF'ed, I voluntarily DA'ed.
If you truly are my sister I doubt that will matter to you, as it hasn't to many others...
...your choice, my email is open.
i've been researching this issue for myself - it's a doctrine i was still having problems understanding - is he or isn't he.... i came across a couple of interesting scriptures that i had not noticed before so thought i'd share them with ya'll:.
1) genesis 1:26 - then god said, "let us make man in our image..." i was taught as a jw that god was speaking to jesus (michael) here.
if that's true, and jesus/michael is an angel - that would mean that god created angels in his image also (since i refers to "image" as singular - it doesn't say images).
Will:
You misunderstand me entirely.
I was just stating what JW's believe, not expressing my own personal convictions.
Personally I can follow Thomas's comments of "My Lord and my God!".
Therefore I have nothing to rectify, for I have left the JW's and have absolutely no reason, nor wish, to support their erroneous theology.
YK:
If you want to give Jesus the title of angel (messenger) then I'm okay with that, but don't try telling me he is merely and angellic creature. That I cannot go with.
He is the EXACT representation of His very being.
He is the Son of the Father in every way.
If you believe that He is merely an angel I would suggest that you probably do not know Him, no matter how you would like to bend Hebrews 1.
Eman:
Owen, too.
Let's be honest, any hopes of a win were tentative anyway, but now they are scuppered.
And this time Scotland didn't get in at all.
i have been following mulans thread regarding her mothers living situation and the harassment of the elders from her congregation.
the poor woman is in her 90s and in poor health.
mulan had to call patterson to have something done to stop it.. .
Jst2:
That is beyond sad, it's sick!
What wonderful love, huh?

Time becomes Corban.
Spend it with strangers rather than family.
I don't really like responding to this kind of thread, as it comes over as chest thumping, but the truth is I used to do my best.
I'm not going to go into detail.
hello all... i came across this line of questioning many months on the inet so i decided that i would submit just this once to peer pressure and make a usefull contribution to the board.. here is the question... is jesus just "a god?".
many of the regular inet surfers would have come across this line of questioning before so if you have you could just sit back and relax and read the replys.. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>.
me: so is he a 'lesser true god' or a 'lesser false god?'.
UnclePenn:

Darn - I'm in the wrong job!!!
Good info, though.
