  About the Memorial and Unleavened Bread Thing..

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  unleavened bread has no yeast in it.

  and yeast is a symbol of sin, right?

  not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.. so my beloved missus, who i believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although i do have a soft spot for chef nigella lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.. and yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy.

  ...and how do you get WINE?

  you allow YEAST to convert the sugars in grape juice into alcohol.

  Did Jesus' blood contain SIN?

  theology is such fun!!!

  Do you think any of the GB have different beliefs?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think any higher ups know that much of the doctrine they teach is bunk?

  thinking back to the time of raymond franz, how he pointed out specifically numerous teachings that the churches really did have right all along, and really any of the hidden mic apostacy trials you listen to on youtube, you see that even when inconvenient bible teachings are proven, the elders just try to sweep it under the rug and move on.

  i think i remember franz saying how one of the gb approached him somewhat sympathetically, but there was nothing he could do.. whether you believe in the bible or not, there are some basic beliefs common among most denominations because they're just so plainly stated, such things as heavenly life for all christians, no central authority structure, minimal use of god's name, etc.

  One of them is a Seismentologist,

  Anyone have a copy of that JW poem about a child who doesn't survive Armageddon?

  by Bleep Bloop in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think it was called "a mother's thoughts.

  " it was a rather dreadful poem written from the viewpoint of a mom a few weeks after armageddon, reminiscing about her child that didn't survive.

  in one part, the rebellious kid says, "i can take care of myself in snow, sleet or rain.

  I look forward to the WTB&TS returning to prophecies about the Giza Pyramids, Napoleon and Kaiser Wilhelm, thus showing that the Creator of the Universe is really on top of things.

  When I was in my early teens I was an avid bicyclist and once took a 70-mile bike expedition by myself along Long Island's north shore just to see a state park that was being developed out there.

  A couple of years later, in the late 1960s, when I was in my mid-late teens, I was really interested in having a motorcycle because it was a less-costly ticket to freedom. My mom didn't like the idea (she laid claim to any money I made from any kind of employment) and was advised by the elders that it would be "inappropriate" for a baptized JW like me to have a motorcycle.

  After all, Jesus didn't have one!

  Mom won, of course. I had my first car AFTER I married and moved out of her house.
