  Drug War Blaspheme

  i would appreciate getting opinions on the scriptural status of drug prohibition.

  is there any evidence that the early christians had any prohibitions against using drug plants?

  My personal thought is that drugs are dangerous and should be avoided/banned in society. What the bible teaches on the matter is of little concern to me. Do you think drugs are good, just because the bible doesn't mention it?

  But if you insist, I think matthew 7:12 answers your question: "Therefore all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, do even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets". Do you have any idea what drug problems cost the society and the taxpayers?

  and I want to add, to you who favor the NWT translation. AlanF, you said that the NWT is good because of the very litteral rendering. But when can you trust the rendering? My experience is that you have to dubble-check every word to see if the translation has used JW-rendering or not. Why not use an interlinear translation when you want to be litteral? even the NWT interlinear is good.

  I like King James Version. Very nice reading, I like that old language, it's beautiful. But you will also need a good, new interlinear translation to keep up with modern rendering of the new testament. The New Greek English Interlinear New Testament is my choice, the greek text is UBS 4th edition. (Nestle-Aland 26th).

  :So they are saying XJW's with years of "being in the Troof", XMServants, XElders, XBetthelites, XCO's and DO's are inexperienced!

  I think they want active JW:s to belive that if they put faith in the news stories, then they are inexperienced. And a JW do not want to be labeled inexperienced. They want to hear that they are mature, which they also will hear, if they go along and say that it is all lies.

  Woman Are Inferior?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the watchtower world, woman are just about nothing.

  they hold no responsibilities in the congregation except cleaning the toilets and not much more.

  we all know that woman are just as intelligent as men, and some could even be good elders.

  I think Paul is to blame for women being put down even another 2000 years after Jesus tried to explain a few things to us.

  "Therefore all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, do even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets."

  ( And for idiots, you have to add that this also is valid when a man/woman deals with a women/man ! )

  i heard some of saddam's speech that he held to the iraqi nation (on the news).

  he warned usa that they can not attac iraq.

  because god is on saddam's side, and god would never let anyone to beat the iraqi nation.. now we finally know that it infact is saddam that has the true religion, the connection with god, jw's was the wrong answer.... i would love to hear his excuse for loosing big time if the war really starts.

  Hi!

  Great story.

  One thing you can ask him about is whether Jesus is the archangel Michael or not.

  Nowhere in the bible there is any mentioning of Jesus as an angel of any sort. Read chapter one of Hebrews and things will get crystal clear. Jesus is not an angel.

  They will probably bring up the stupid argument that in 1 Thes 4:16, Jesus is using the voice of an archangel, therefore must be the archangel Michael. But they never finish that scripture, because the next part of the verse tells us that he is also using the trumpet of God. Which with the same reasoning would make Jesus God.

  /Good luck
