  We are living in the 21st Century , When , Are We Going to Bury Religious Superstition ? Once and for all ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the christian bible / cannon is different , depending on what religion you profess ,around the world.. russian orthodox ,greek orthodox ,christian gnostics ,roman catholics , polish national catholics ,c.of e , etc,etc,.

  the very many christian bible translations that exist today differ according to different interpretations of the translators.. the jewish translators of the hebrew scriptures add a whole new concept to the traditional interpretation by christian translators of the old testament... throw in the mix all of the fundamentalist religions that have sprung up these past couple of centuries including the j.w.`s , s.d.a.`s , mormons , t.v.

  evangelists , etc, etc,.

  i belonged to this forum for about 5 years ; 14 years ago and made many good online friends here.. it became my new family for awhile and i am very grateful for all the help i received.. for the first time in 10 years i went into a kh for a funeral, bearing in mind it was at the hall where my husband had been the presiding overseer and regular pioneer for many many years.. they were very surprised that i remembered all their names and was confident and happy.. someone said so are you back in the truth, i said simply !

  yes i have my truth, thanks.. the elder in question said " well time will tell ?

  "and i said yes it has hasn't it, but we aren't in competition..

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  lets pretend two things:.

  1. god (yhwh) exists.

  2. the bible is his word.. now we follow genesis to judges ok... judges resets at chaper 17-21 but for the purposes od this posts lets ignore that.... ruth we are told lives in the time of the judges... ok no problem/ until the end.

  NAILING DOWN the fraud of John 1:1 by demonstration

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  call me crazy, but i love to watch seminary classes when sharp teachers are in charge of the instruction.. in the following video, the teacher really nails jehovah's witnesses on john 1:1 with utter simplicity.. begin at 1 hour and 20 minutes in.. i've never seen or heard of this before.. .

  2. bible

  meet papias.

  if you had lived in the time of the living apostles of jesus would you have personally investigated stories about.

  or, would you simply read whatever was written instead?.

  Why the Memorial Is Held on the Wrong Day

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  tonight on the evening of april 18, 2011, observant jews worldwide will celebrate passover seder, a night "different from all other nights".

  the watchtower society annually schedules the memorial for jehovah's witnesses on a date that is supposed to coincide with the jewish observance of passover, as it would have been reckoned during second temple times (in particular, in the first century ad during the life of jesus).

  this year the memorial was observed last night, the evening of april 17. the two religious observances are thus a day out of synth, at least this year.

  Did Snakes have Legs? Yes/No

  2. friends

  i managed to find a piece i wrote last year and subsequently lost.

  thanks to the archiving efforts of a very good person i have managed to get it back.

  thinking about some posts here recently regarding the genesis account of the fall of man, i recalled a conversation with a friend a few years back.
