The scotsman returns - but he is not the same....

by The Scotsman in

jw

hello, yes the scotsman has returned, but i have been naughty .

i have been doing some of my own research on the internet etc regarding jws and some doctrinal issues.. i have had some doubts for a while but am beginning to think that some of our current teachings are simply unsustainable.. example - the 1914 timeframe.. the reason that this is so pivotal is that it is a foundation stone of the organization.

evidence is easily available to prove that this date is unsafe.. many on here speculate about revolution in the organization etc, if 1914 was moved it would have a catastrophic effect on the ordinary publisher and would lead to big change across the congregations.

You know what I think, The Scotsman ? I think the society is waiting for the generation who would understand the significance of 1914 to die away.

I totally agree.

By the time they change this some will point to the "generation" change of '95 (wow 13 years ago) as say something inane like "didn't they change the 1914 teaching YEARS ago.

The 2520 "day" 607 - 1914 stuff hasn't (to my knowledge - I left in '99) been in any frontline bible study book since the "Live Forever" book which was replaced by the "Knowledge" book () in '95

Another 15 to 20 years and they will be ready to do it.

2034 at the latest.

Mother Teresa doubted God's existence during her last years

by Gregor in

jw
friends

her personal diarys and letters have revealed she doubted gods reality and this in turn caused her to ask herself "is jesus true?

" she no longer prayed right up until her death.

in my opinion this in no way detracts from her being a wonderful, self sacrificing woman.

You whined for a moderator to jump in over 12 hours ago and got no response.

You think?

Nothing further to say to you.

China Bans Reincarnation Without Government Permission

by Justitia Themis in

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/08/22/china-bans-reincarnation-_n_61444.html.

in one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, china has banned buddhist monks in tibet from reincarnating without government permission.

according to a statement issued by the state administration for religious affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation.

Pubsinger

Yes and just so that no-one is seen to be making fun of the Government, this law is to be applied RETROSPECTIVELY.

Anyone found to have re-incarnated in the last 50 years is gonna be in BIG trouble.

Which bit don't you get

Nothing to do with blunt arguement.

Everything to do with FORUM RULES

Being offensive is against them

If this is an attempt to goad me into being offensive it won't work.

Live long and prosper

Thanks SBF

I'm not entering into dialogue with Terry as I've clearly stated. This wasn't Terry's thread

No idea who Gregor is . . .not that bothered. I think his thread/points are valid and of interest.

But we have rules round here and some people think they don't have to abide by them.

This is nothing to do with thick skins it's to do with FORUM RULES

And Terry is breaking them.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HIS OPINION OF MY FAITH

OR MY INTELLECT.

HOWEVER I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING CALLED A WANKER OR A QUADRAPLEGIC.
