  Something dawned on me last night. Jesus was suposed to be a corresponding sacrifice for Adam right?

  A perfect life for a perfect life. Thats the exchange right?

  The WT explanation of why Jesus had to actually SUFFER horrifically is this.

  He thus proved that Adam too could have obeyed God if he had chosen to do so. By enduring under trial, Jesus left us a model to follow.

  Of course the scriptures in the paragraph around those sentences have not answer the question that the sub heading poses.

  WHY JESUS SUFFERED AND DIED

  Adam - who he is swapping out his perfect life for - DID NOT SUFFER by a torturous execution.

  Also hius test dealt with the temptation of eating an Fruit. I know this supposedly symbolized his desire to be independent (by the way a feeling that he could only have if god created him with it), but didn't Jesus pass that test when satan offered him the world?

  So why did this Jesus - the perfect corresponding sacrifice (sacrifice as we have been taught is like for like - equals) - have to undergo something ADAM never did, nor was asked to do?

  I guess it's like the old Tootsie Pop commercials.

  REALLY its 1984 Orwell (Newspeak)

  FRIDAY
  Chairman's Address: Jehovah Deserves "Undivided Loyalty"

  1. Maintain Loyalty in – Thought! - Bellyfell - The word bellyfeel refers to a blind, enthusiastic acceptance of an idea.
  2. Maintain Loyalty in – Word! -Newspeak "The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible."
  3. Maintain Loyalty in – Action! Blackwhite - A true Party member could automatically and without thought expunge any "incorrect" information and neatly replace it with "true" information. Done properly, there would be no recollection of the "incorrect" information. THUS falling in line with any ACTIONS that are asked of the member without there being any questioning or hesitation.

  What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.

  it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.

  i would spare no expense.

  They want to get rid of "anointed ones" - It's getting clear

  i've never met a group that turns on it's members like the jw's.

  sister faithful that thinks she's anointed is now bat shit crazy with mental illness.

  we all have known it's true, but now you have the wt, who put it in everyone's head that you can be anointed.

  Peace and Security!

  by biblexaminer in

  2. beliefs

  watchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!

  5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

  At least they are being very specific about it - much like Revelation :)

  They did rule out No series of events.
