hey just wanted to ask if anyone here knows where i could find a legit copy of the finished mystery, one of charles taze russell's books if i'm not mistaken?
there's a couple of older brothers and sisters that i know, you think it's a good idea to ask if they have a copy?
i've seen some on amazon and even on ebay but again not entirely sure if they're legit or not.

Now my parents are forcing me to be reinstated as a member again---------Bola
Bola, are you an adult?
In the WT's own words:
Watchtower, Feb 1st, 2012, page 19 in box :
“Witness parents strive to inculcate love for God in their offspring, just as the Bible commands them to. Nevertheless, they realise that WHEN A CHILD BECOMES AN ADULT, HE or SHE WILL MAKE A PERSONAL CHOICE WITH REGARD TO WORSHIP.”

explaining how the traditional view of the ransom makes no sense and reverts christianity to paganism where god is subject to a superior notion of justice.
how the injunction from jesus to hate mother, father, brothers and sisters is really a call for a non-hierarchical society, of which the holy spirit is a symbol.
SBF,
If by egalitarian you are referring to the relationship between husband & wife where the husband treats the wife as his equal, I am for that.
But parents must have authority over their children so that relationship can't be egalitarian IMHO.

Capitalism has been highly disruptive of family structures------SBF redacted
Agreed. It is said that the hunter-gatherers provided (Pygmies still exist) the best supportive environment for families to thrive.

Except Jesus said nothing about a more egalitarian family structure. He said his followers were unworthy unless they hated their parents and siblings.
This of course is deeply embarrasing so theologians like Zizek make up bullshit influenced by communist ideology-------Cofty
Everybody reinterprets Jesus' sayings to make him not look like the cult leader that he was. The truth is, Jesus was anti-family: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5768031571542016/jesus-christ-anti-family
He was not a supporter of family values - Jesus, his disciples, nuns, monks, Catholic priests and the Shakers (who are now extinct) all demonstrate exactly what Jesus meant when it comes to family by the way they live(d) their lives.

Ruby456,
If subverting the family structure creates the Essentials for Childhood - assuring, safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments - then I am all for it as long as it does not lead to an adverse environment which can have lasting consequences for children’s mental & physical health and development.

I think Zizek is saying that the subversion of family structure opens the way for egalitarian and non-hierarchical forms of relationship ----------SBF
Subverting the family structure can have wide-ranging health and social consequences for children.
Children need assuring, safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments. These essentials for childhood can have a positive impact on a broad range of health problems and on the development of skills that will help children reach their full potential:

Adverse environments early in life have lasting consequences for children’s health and development:
http://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2017/04/adverse-childhood.aspx
A child’s “family, social, and community assets” were critical to helping him or her thrive despite challenges:
http://bigthink.com/stefani-cox/adverse-childhood-experiences-can-be-overcome-with-help.amp
Children need attachment and nurturing relationships, family who listen and respond patiently to them in a supportive way, and pay attention to their physical and emotional needs.
