Who told the first lie?

by nicolaou in

this is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?

god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.

in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.

Gen 3

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die",

God hath said, "Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die".

It's clear: Satan lied, they died.

August WT: DF'ing renamed "Removed." AKA: GB re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic

friends

so: the mystery has been clarified as to more "new light" / clarifications of decades old doctrine and procedure.

august watchtower has finally been leaked.

disfellowshipping?

WT theology has always been a shell game of symbolic interpretation. They are just expanding the grift to include policy as well.

The question is whether or not educated lawmakers will continue to waste taxpayer money on the scam. Or, will they see that the suicides, mental health costs, addiction recovery costs and lost income from formerly productive citizens are not likely to change?

Big News: August English Watchtower released on servers

by ukpimo in

big news.

just in from a friend who is fading.. disfellowshipping will no longer be a term used by jws.

study article 35, paragraph 4 footnote says this:.

Sea Breeze

We will never abandon the disfellowshipping practice.

But we will blow out your future by removing you from the congregation and from your loved ones.

Ok got it.

JW s were here today with convention invite

by enoughisenough in

i thought i would tell this story: 2 gals and a guy came by with invitation to convention.

i am in the yard.

the gals get out and are wearing pants.

You brought out 2-3 very logical points, planted some seeds, and let them know there are people out there that are not JW's that do care about truth and authenticity. I'd call that a home run.

Deep study

by road to nowhere in

wifes friend had to go home to deep study the sunday article.

I have taught a course on Revelation in church after spending a year studying it with my Phd. friend who also went to Bible school. Most of Revelation is literal except where it clearly says it's not.

I had gone through the WT Rev. book 3 times in the 80's and early 90's. So, I can really compare the two models - literal vs. symbolic. I can say unreservedly that what the WT printed on Revelation is the most outlandish, disconjointed pile of horse manure I've ever seen.... and I've seen a lot.
