  "So he asks Judas, who is his friend, to sell him out, to betray him. It's treason to the general public, but between Jesus and Judas, it's not treachery."

  Then, why did Judas hang himself?

  "The Washington Constitution says, "Justice in all cases shall be administered openly." So the attorney's objection presented this question: Can parties negotiate away the public's right to open courts?"

  "The answer came down this week: No."

  Lack of evidence in "Insight" *gack* book supporting stake theory.

  by kwintestal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after a short discussion regarding the cross vs. stake theory with my grandmother i decided to refresh my memory of the wts doctrine regarding this and it's supporting arguments.

  i was surprised to find that they only used one supporting reference to their claim.

  it's a quote by john denham parsons written in 1896 (interesting that it took over 30 years for god to mention this to his mouthpiece).

  Leolaia,

  Did the REVELATION CLIMAX book substitute the word "stake" for the word "cross"

  or was the word "impaled" used?

  Thanks.

  No Trespassing!! Breaking news for local JW's.

  by Mulan in

  this week at the book study, at all congregations in the u.s., a letter was read saying if you go to a house or property with a "no trespassing" sign, you must not enter, or knock on the door.

  you have to leave immediately.

  a sign saying "no solicitors" is too ambiguous, and they are to use their own judgment, and don't have to knock.

  When I came to a "No Trespassing" sign I never went beyond it.

  Never have and always will.

  a rather interesting passage from a most historic magazine is reproduced here for your perusal.

  its not a watchtower magazine, rather, the magazine is called :

  Is anyone going to the special talk today?

  by dmouse in

  there is a special talk today, evidently about our old friend babylon the great.

  there is some speculation that it might be related to the possible new light on the un that undisfellowshipped spoke about in his thread:.

  Here is the key section.

  IS BABYLON THE GREAT’S DESTRUCTION NEAR? (7MIN)

  Composite "sign of [Christ’s] presence and of the conclusion of the system of things" has been developing since 1914 (Mt 24:3; w97 4/1 5-8; w93 3/1 4-6)

  Jesus referred to various features of "the sign" as "a beginning of pangs of distress" ("pangs of birth," Kingdom interlinear) (Mt 24:8)

  Like pangs of birth, which increase in severity, frequency, and duration, distress of this system intensifies as Babylon’s judgment nears (2Ti 3:1,13; w83 4/1 6)

  Striking manifestation of Christ’s presence is imminent ( READ 2 Thessalonians 2:8) (re282)

  World events suggest that false religion is now in the target zone for destruction

  New Light on the United Nations (U.N.) (Scarlet Beast)

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there appears to be "new light" in the latest watchtower magazine (june 1st 2003 issue).

  several watchtower publications for the last 50+ years have said that the united nations (u.n.) organization ("the scarlet-colored wild beast" of revelation) would definitely be the organization that will carry out jehovah's judgment on "babylon the great" (false religion), and then, under satan's [gog of magog's] direction, the united nations organization would become "greedy", and try to attack the remaining remnant of the "anointed" jehovah's witnesses and their companions, the "great crowd" of "other sheep", and then jehovah and jesus would destroy the united nations organization, along with everyone else who was not a jehovah's witness.

  here is a quote that shows this: .

  Gog is called a "prince", "chieftain" or "king".

  According to Ezekiel 38:15 he is to come from the remotest parts

  of the north.

  That makes him the King of the North.

  Fits with Daniel chapter 11 and Revelation chapter 17.
