  JW.ORG Business Cards?

  by toweragent in

  1. watchtower

  did anybody else get an announcement at their meeting about the branch approved jw.org business cards?.

  apparantly, they're real slick and fit into your wallet (making it easier to informal witness).

  the logic was, some people don't want to be handed a big tract and would prefer something smaller.. so strange considering how little there is to those tracts!

  Testimony card returns

  by sir82 in

  old timers, or careful readers of the proclaimers book, are familiar with the "testimony card" used in the early days of rutherford-era door to door witnessing.

  the jw would traipse up to a house, knock, hand the card over to the householder, and wait while he read it.. well, it seems that "everything old is new again".

  here is an excerpt from a recent boe letter:.

  New light?

  by Ignoranceisbliss in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my father who is an elder with decent organizational connections mentioned that very soon there would be "new light" regarding the resurrected being able to be married.

  this would make sense because our current understanding has never made any sense to me.

  has any one else heard anything about that?.

  Luke 20:35-36

  New English Translation (NET)

  35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.

  These words of Jesus make a lot of sense if we consider a spiritual and not carnal resurrection .

  IF THERE WAS NO FIRST HUMAN.....

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...and new species of "humans" have appeared gradually, do we have "x-men" amoung us??

  so many people are willing to automatically discount abilities that cannot, as of yet, be explained by our current scientific knowledge.

  is it too frightening to entertain the idea that there are new and possibly better "humans" in our ranks?

  Great Crowd is NOT under the New Covenant...Where does it say this?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if there was anywhere someone could point to in the bible for the watchtower belief that the great crowd is not included in the new covenant.

  i know that this is their line of thinking when it comes to jesus being mediator.

  they say that jesus is only mediator of the new covenant and since the gc is not under the new covenant, jesus is not specifically a mediator to them.

  Thanks leaving_quietly for those texts. It is very clear that in the amended covenant ALL were included.

  -God saves through his son. It's that concept that matters to me.

  -What is essential is God's will to save. No doctrine of men can change that or determin who will be saved or to what destiny.

  -Your slavation does not depend on your (or anyone else's) understanding of a covenant. It depends on God who saves us through Christ.

  Great points OG, and I share them too. Thanks for answer.

  Exodus 12:43) The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat of it; 44) but every man's slave purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it. 45) "A sojourner or a hired servant shall not eat of it. 46) "It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it. 47) "All the congregation of Israel are to celebrate this. 48) "But if a stranger sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it. 49) "The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you."

  Did these exceptions for the Passover did not apply also for the old Covenant?

  I used the example of hot pepper. I love hot pepper. I would love it if anyone who hosts me were to put hot pepper in the food they serve me. So should I in my capacity as a host put hot pepper in the food I give to guests because I would want others do that to me?

  I simply put the hot pepper available to anyone who wanted it without putting it into their food .

  Over 300 Partakers in Reno, Nevada! Men Women & Children 12 Years old,

  by objectivetruth in

  2. bible

  the governing body is powerful, but the holy spirit is infinitely more powerful.

  if the wt ever changes, it will be because of a movement such as this.. .

  but sanctify the christ as lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect.

  That's a lot of events to happen since the memorial was less than 3 days ago. Next time you make up such an elaborate story I recommend giving it at least a week to post.

  That experience is from last year Commemoration!!
