the main thing is silence

wear a ring, don't wear a ring

wear a beard, don't wear a beard

just keep your mouth shut

that's the main thing

if you don't keep your mouth shut, there are consequences

disfellowshipping is a masonic practice

Alteration of Revelation 3:14 in the 4th century to support the emerging Trinity doctrine

by slimboyfat in

in an earlier thread another poster asserted that there is no evidence that revelation 3:14 played a part in the 4th controversy that led to the trinity doctrine.

this was claimed as evidence that the description of jesus as “the beginning of the creation of god” in the verse was not understood to mean that jesus was god’s first creation.

the scholarly greek–english lexicon of the new testament & other early christian literature 3e (2001) by bauer, arndt, gingrich, and danker, in its latest edition states that “first creation” is indeed the probable meaning of the greek phrase.

jesus showed us what showing love looked like

he didn't act like a scribe or a pharisee

"clothe yourselves with love"

the context says some are "naked" and it's exposed

because they are harping on the unimportant things while

forgetting that

god is love

over a thousand years ago some dude broke up the bible into chapter/verse breaks

but if you step back and read the whole passage around rev. 3:14

it's not talking about angels or jesus or god

it's talking about showing love

Federal court in Montana asked to impose sanctions on Watch Tower and its top lawyers Brumley and Taylor

by Corney in

in two child abuse cases litigated in a us district court in montana, plaintiffs recently filed identical motions for sanctions against watch tower pa, philip brumley (general counsel for whq/wt) and joel taylor (associate general counsel for wt), accusing them of lying to court and vexatiously delaying the case:.

here, with the hope that the court would dismiss plaintiffs’ cases against wtpa, in-house counsel brumley signed affidavits that were materially false and intentionally misleading.

Coming soon: Governing Body Update #4

by ukpimo in

the upcoming governing body update, set to be released on friday this week, will feature a bearded samuel herd.. jwtalk website revealed the leak, so this thread will be used to speculate the content of the update and discuss the actual contents after its release..

FragrantAddendum

i laughed when i first saw herd's beard - it looks so shaggy

he'd look nice with one of those fake babylonian style beards

makes me think of the wiggles mustache song...

"Mr. Moustache on my face,

How did you get in your place?

Are you stuck there by some glue?
Are you leftover beef stew?

Mr. Moustache on my face,
How did you get in your place?"

(it's at the end of this clip)
