  I hope these people got paid.

  You mean fame from a wonderful piece of music isn't enough?

  Geoffrey Jackson, Deuteronomy 18:22

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not sure if this has been commented on, but while reading a discussion, deuteronomy 18:22 was mentioned.

  i looked it up, and was struck by its connection to a remark made by geoffrey jackson during his arc testimony.

  the gist of the scripture is that if a prophet declares something is from god and it doesn't come true, he is speaking presumptuously, and should not be feared.

  Semantics really....

  While they may not say they are "prophets" , they do say that they are "gods channel" and the only organisation "chosen by God".

  So no matter how they spin it, they claim to speak for god.

  That is no different to a "Prophet"

  True, if you can understand the English language.

  However, the deliberately under-educated rank and file Jay Dub wont understand what the word "Semantics" means, much less that "gods Channel" and "Prophet" are synonymous..

  thursday, december 8. take your stand against him, firm in the faith.—1 pet.

  5:9.. to do that, we need to prepare our mind and heart, to train ourselves now to do what is right.

  we do not know what our spiritual warfare may involve in the future.

  1. "Do I persevere in prayer?"

  Before I left, I prayed to Jehovah to convince me that JW's have the truth and NOTHING happened!

  Same here. Over and OVER. Still I can't get around the crap they serve up.

  Either they are NOT the truth or I am just another goat waiting for judgement day.

  Funny, I don't feel like a goat

  Daily text for 12-7-2016 Gods promises "Dynamic"?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wife read me the daily text this morning out of the blue this morning and a couple of sentences stuck out in my head.. all of jehovah’s promises are dynamic, not static, because he is constantly working toward their fulfillment.

  (isa.

  46:10; 55:11) once a person realizes this about jehovah’s word, what he reads in the bible can exert a powerful force in his life.. .

  That paragraph is like some motivational meme that sounds impressive but is vague and meaningless.
  

  Well put! Kind of where my mind was.

  "of course not- we want to eat from clean dishes!

  dishes that have been cleaned thoroughly inside and out.

  " we have to be sure the things entering our minds are clean... rejecting exciting fun stuff that features sex.

  I am with the original poster on this.

  Downright creepy the way he was talking in a Mr. Rogers meets tel-evangelist fashion.

  Do these two sentences make sense? Maybe I had too much single malt last night but it almost seems like someone was trying to use words the average witness doesn't understand to say in effect "Gods promises change all the time".

  Were you aware of the shunning policy when becoming a JW

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those who became jws, were you fully aware of the societys cruel shunning policy whilst studying?

  i absolutely had no idea such a policy existed until years later.

  it really only hit home when reading the horrendous stories on the internet around 2002. .

  Funny you asking this as I was just thinking about it the other day. I even went back and looked in the "Bible teach" book to see if disfellowshiping was mentioned. It wasn't.

  I couldn’t not for the life of me remember when I found out about it but I know it wasn’t during the study phase.
