Another new missing part of the Bible found

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22011278/new-bible-chapter-hidden-verses-discovered-erased-scribe/.

i wonder what the remaining members of the gb will make of this?.

i excited to read all of this once it’s released and compare with the rest of mathew.

A total non-story by the looks of things.

Here is the best they come up with:

"...offers slightly more detail than the Greek translation of Matthew chapter 12. In verse 1 of the Greek translation, a sentence reads "at that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat," while the Syriac translation discovered by Kessel ends "began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them". Wow!!!

GB voice of Jesus....

by enoughisenough in

a short sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekihoczyfg she put a link to the whole video if you care to watch.

here is the thing that came to my mind: by isolating just that part, the part sounds rather hubris, shocking, audacious.

when the jw hear it couched in a talk and woven in with scriptures, they will take it in without giving a real thought as to what is really being said..

Shunning Jesus

by AEnEm in

my first post will be hidden in the far more important news about am3.

incredible!

who knows what the ramifications will be.. as a pimo who still believes in the bible and christ, i wanted to share the following fun fact about the latest study publications.

BoogerMan

@ Carla - ask your hubby a wee question:

"If you are asked at a hospital if you have a faith, what would you tell them?"

If he replies, "Jehovah's Witnesses," ask him why Christianity isn't his faith.

Good job, AEnEm.

I'm sure Kevin McFree will be interested to see how this develops.

Why are JW's THIS blind?

by BoogerMan in

i had a conversation about this 22 carat gold contradiction with a couple of zealous jw's a couple of days ago.. even their personal "explanations" contradicted each other as they tried justify their cognitive dissonance!.

an absolute delight to witness such absurdity.. "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.

the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things [john 5:29] before their death.

@ DJW:

The September 2022 Study Watchtower, par. 14 p. 18 - in black & white - makes the claim that "...no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world."

But JW's (and some here!) can't see the org "speaking out of both sides of their mouth" on this teaching.

JW's and others who possess the WT CD ROM, only have to look at the many references to John 5:29 to see that the org says people will be practicing vile deeds during the millenium. Just one of many examples:

w65 1/1 p. 20 par. 5 Worship the God of Resurrection - "However, does that mean that even those practicing vile things after their resurrection are going to keep on living in this new system of things? It appears from the Scriptures that those who do not want to change and do good things after being resurrected on earth will be cut off before too many years pass."

As for Revelation, some of the figurative & literal descriptions are down to an individual's interpretation - based on other scriptures and/or reasoning.

@ ExBethelite - you are merely repeating your assertion that there is no contradiction with the two statements in the WT, but haven't answered the question:

Do you believe (based on WT dogma) that during the millenium people will be practicing evil deeds? (the act of doing something regularly or repeatedly)

A simple 'yes' or 'no' will suffice.

@ DJW - thanks for your opinion on what you think the WT is saying regarding "practicing" evil deeds, and that you agree with it. From what I've researched, the org repeatedly & emphatically stresses that evil deeds will be practiced by resurrected folks.

I'm ready to defend myself in the new world from the lowlifes who will continually perform evil deeds.

Revelation 2:27, 12:5 & 19:15 need to be revised: ". . .and he will shepherd the people with an ~~iron rod~~ feather duster. . ."

@ ExBethelite & DJW - Just to be clear, are you saying that during the millenium some people will practice evil deeds, (the act of doing something regularly or repeatedly) or they won't?
