  Zeitgeist, anyone seen it?

  so i was watching this on netflix today and had only really heard about the comparisons between jc and horus in religulous.

  it amazed me how incredibly credulous i was as a witness- i would never have watched a video so full of "lies" had i still been in.. or maybe i'm willing to believe anything now..... for those that have seen it- how convinced were you with the comparisons between jesus and the zodiac?.

  Z has many wrongs, but its more accurate than modern xianity and its portrayal of the bible, jesus and more.

  Thoughts on Jesus' Resurrection

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think that in our various discussions about life after the wt, we many times forget about the cornerstone of christian life - the resurrection.

  the implications of the existence a man who holds the power of life and death is manifold.

  it makes discussions about the existence of god obsolete.. for all of scientists' accomplishments they have never been able to make even one amobea come alive from non-life.

  Rawe: Even the story of P is extraordinary. How can a single manager with limited means manage so many churches across continents ? Even today with phones, planes and mote that would've an achievement but this man does it all by himself.

  Hi rawe The argument that P didn't mention facts about J makes no sense. He often gives other mundane facts that we can assume they already knew. He repeats personal details about himself which they already knew. The easier to believe or ponder fact is that P didn't know our J. If you read the text J exists on a different spiritual plane. P's Judaism is different from that of the apostles.

  Thesearcher: Why does Stephen mention Jesus or anything about him in his speech innacts ? It's the longest monologue and yet Jesus is never mentioned. How can you be sure S really knows about Jesus.? Would you talk for that long to bare witness and yet never mention J once ?

  Design: The Jews never rejected jesus because he never was. Josephus whose family were high preiats in Jerusalem never mentions the preaching, miracles, trial or anything because it never happened. If it did we should gospels just after he died but it took 40 years for them to appear.

  Aust. Election in 1 week - A review of Kevin Rudd, PM

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.

  if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).

  they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.

  Jeffro:

  I knew exactly what you were up to. Another narrow-minded stereotypical jab. It didn't work.

  mP:

  You are wise, too bad you cant address the SL and A problems. No civil war in SL , less Taliban and you tell everyone its got worse in 2009. Of course that makes perfect sense.

  Do you believe God is using the governing body to lead his organization?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  were familiar with the statements about how a persons claim to be anointed is between that god and the individual.. the governing body went on to say: "a number of factorsincluding past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalancemight cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling.

  we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.

  the governing body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones.

  Jeffro:

  Theres no shame in being on welfare, i only asked a simple q. i have observed that many people who vote for KR, are on welfare and love the bonuses that have recently come their way. Like the Baby Bonus to buy that new plasma that baby needs. After all why would a person on welfare vote for a party that gives tax breaks to millionaires or cuts welfare. It just doesnt make sense. As always follow the money.

  Your the one who thought it was a negative comment.

  Thanks for the poke btw, stay classy.

  A real insult would be to buy an MSCE online.

  ( apologies for the large space at the top i don't quite know why .

  i sat through the wt study that dealt with all the new understanding.. the conductor started by by saying .

  well we wont spend too much time on what we used to believe, we will consider what we believe now.. i took a look round to see how the members of the congregation were reacting to this.. nothing.... .

  They dont react, because they are basically in Homer mode, and barely listening or comprehending.
