  A Gem From The May Study WT "Know Your Enemy"

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower

  in fact, only three books of the hebrew scriptures, 1 chronicles, job, and zechariah, mention satan, which means “resister.” why was little said about our enemy prior to the arrival of the messiah?.

  3 apparently, jehovah did not want to give satan undue prominence by devoting large portions of the hebrew scriptures to discussing him and his activity.

  jehovah’s primary purpose for inspiring that section of the scriptures was to identify the messiah and lead god’s people to him.. .

  Oh, by the way, it's not like as if Satan is mentioned like 1000 times every meeting.

  No god didn't want to give him any prominence:)

  Well, really all that needed to be said about Satan was said by the great Jehober himself in Genesis.

  Jehovah God then said: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad. Now in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever,
  

  Here the great Jehober lets us all know that Satan did NOT lie to Eve, and the plan the creator of all things needed a Plan-B asap cuz he F-ed up. :)

  I am surprised they keep reminding people that over 100 years have passed and nothing has happened.

  Governing Body trying to control marital relationships

  by Whynot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  4 years ago during the circuit overseers visit he asked a rather innapropriate question from the platform.

  i say it's innapropriate because i think it's wrong to tell happy married couples how to love each other and much more wrong it is to tell them they should love their children less.. he said: "mothers, who should you love more your children or your husband?

  " i think most mothers will quickly say you should love your children more.

  Keep in mind - many COs have their own agenda and say what they want.

  We had one who HATED Disney.

  We had one who HATED Star Trek.

  They made their feelings well know, though not sanctioned specifically by the GB.

  i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.

  i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

  what is the difference (if any) between being guided by holy spirit and being inspired by holy spirit?

  is it just semantics?.

  Dozy - great point!

  Doing research would be finding many sources to draw conclusions from - Cults ALWAYS refer you to their own literature.

  This accomplishes the goals of - making people feel empowered (when the opposite is happening) and reemphasizing the party line over and over.

  The added bonus of taking up more time that 'friends' could be using doing worldly things.

  Blownaway - does it take FAITH to say that Thor, Leprechauns, and Mermaids don't exist?
