  Is this doctrine still in in effect?

  so something i never knew was the fact jw's were taught that jesus is only the mediator for the anointed class and not for everyone.

  i only found this out after reading "crisis of conscience" and i was actually pretty shocked to learn so.

  if that is the case, when they pray why even bother saying the words "in the name of jesus christ we ask"?

  Traditional Christianity teaches once you become a Christian you have a relationship with Jesus and that is how you are reconciled to god the father. This is your membership in the new covenant.

  The JWs teach you are reconciled to god though your obedience to faithful slave or governing body.

  I have often wondered if this was god’s plan for humanity , the bible would have been more clear about the subject, since the GB is actually replacing jesus. There should literally be hundreds of bible prophecies about the magical men in Brooklyn instead of just a vague parable that somehow becomes a prophecy.

  I have a friend who father is an elder and literally spends all his free time trying to crack the biblical code. He literally has a room in his basement with bible scriptures on the wall with strings connecting stuff together. It is like a scene from the movie a beautiful mind with Russel Crowe. I think even Robert King would walk in there and say “ Man, you are nuts “.

  I sometimes wonder if the WTS has a secret policy as long as it is different than what traditional Christianity teaches, go head. Make shit up.

  The Confederate Flag

  by Simon in

  the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

  he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

  not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

  I just went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd ( yes there are two original members ) and was looking for a T-shirt and I see the shirts had the confederate flag removed from them. I was like “ man the PC crowd got to Skynyrd. “ No way

  Maybe its the fact I love Southern rock and roll or the fact I am only four generations removed from the deep south but I am more a its heritage not hate kind of guy. Imagine if you just allowed to say things about visible minorities that you are allowed to say about Southern folks. It kind of pisses me off.

  last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

  our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

  me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

  Let’s just for fun review what Viviane said.

  1. Christians don’t know the bible ( we know there is a group of people out there who really know the bible ).

  2. She claims we are still under the law of moses ( I think ) according to the bible. The law of Christ didn’t replace the old convanent. I wonder if there is a certain group we can benefit though there association by this so called new covenant.

  Again I must state I am not exactly sure what her theological stance of what the old covenant and new covenant are . It’s almost like she is trying bambozal us with all kinds of fancy jibbler jabber. Wonder who else tries that trick.

  Repressed much ?? You can take the dub out of the hall but it is harder to take the hall out dub

  You quoted the bible out of context and mock anyone who disagrees with you.

  I am thinking Viviane is an undercover elder.

  You guys should all get together and write a book . Maybe call it, hum, " What does the bible really teach "

  You could inform all the people in false religion of the errors of their ways.

  One trick ponies.

  Jesus said he never came to abolish the law but came to fulfill it. Membership in the new covenant is a spiritual and personal thing. This is a concept that is alien to both the JW and ex-JW.

  Reading the bible looking for technicalities to try and disprove it is the same mentality of reading the bible and finding reasons to let your children die from not giving them blood transfusions.

  You people really need to learn how to chill out. You are not JWs anymore, not need to crack any more codes.
