JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

by blondie in

jw
friends

can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

If you want to cultivate your own neo-WT "exjw paradise" with tyrants for GB-style-king-mods and ears pasted shut, then by all means, promote ignorant thinking and band-wagon-jumping mob dictatorship.

Blondie, I am ashamed of you for acting like a kiss-ass publisher telling on "apostates" in the KH.

There will never be truth found on the lips of those who kiss the butts of liars.

Only 💩💩💩.

(By the way, I find it interesting who chooses to talk about "self-moderation.")

Fear of man does not lead to "truth." It leads to a gaggle of wamby-pamby pansies whining about how they think God doesn't exist when the real thing is they're actually scared of Him.

You can disfellowship and shun those who tell you the truth, but the truth doesn't change.

"Get ready to meet your God."

Proof of two destinies for believers in the Bible, heavenly and earthly

by slimboyfat in

the jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.

even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.

yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.

Why is it so impossible to you that God would want to hang out with His own kids?

Why do you think it's impossible for the One who made the universe and everything in it to make a body to be able to visit the earth?

What do you think "God is love" really means?

Why do you overcomplicate everything?

What evidence is there for a biblical jesus?

by Touchofgrey in

is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.

the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.

i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.

: a person who intentionally antagonizes others online by posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content. Internet trolls. In the late 1980s, Internet users adopted the word "troll" to denote someone who intentionally disrupts online communities

I was falsely accused in the KH of being "disruptive" because I spoke truth. Guess they considered me a troll too, even though I never once disrupted a meeting in my entire life.

(Hey, @touchofgrey, just wanted to say too that I am not the person who downvoted your comment.)

@Konagirl...

God is not partial.

He will hang out with all His kids.

Why are you trying to block the way?

Jesus is "The Way." He's not standing in the way.

Your "symbols" are whack.

How did JWs arrive at a clearer understanding of what the Bible teaches than other Christian denominations?

by slimboyfat in

for jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.

but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?

new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.

I believe in Jesus and in Jehovah. It is highly gratifying to me to talk about the people I love. I worship Jehovah, so for me to talk about Him makes sense and is fitting.

If you claim not to believe in Him, then you are most to be pitied. You spend so much time talking about something you don't believe in. If you really don't believe in Him, why are you wasting your time on here?

Unless you really do believe in Him, but you're trying to avoid something that you need to repent about and you're trying to ease your conscience.

I don't know what's in your heart. I just know you are a bit of a contradiction.

Jehovah mentioned Jesus in the Genesis 3:15 prophecy.

That was at the beginning of human history.

The fact that we still have a record of it today shows people have been talking about it from that time to this.

As regards the word "opposers" - I do not subscribe to the fantasy world teachings that some psycho-students do ("psycho" short for "psychology" of course) that theories take precedence over reality.

There are people who oppose truth in the world. There are people who oppose God. Making up theories and fairy tales doesn't negate reality.

God exists. If a person wants to reject Him, He will reject that person. Opposing the source of life is a way to embrace death. How's that fit into your rejection model?
