  Defend Your Borders or Listen to the Watchtower?

  by raymond frantz in

  2. bible

  https://youtu.be/dnoww-4jfao?si=ehzmc5-gxqukgn7q.

  with ww3 on the horizon the watchtower is bringing out their best hits on the issue of neutrality and the latest instalment on jw.org with stephen lett has the theme " why ancient israelites were allowed to go to war but as a christian you can't " or to paraphrase for a 2024 audience " why the modern state of israel is allowed all the nuclear weapons to defend their borders but you as a western european or north american you aren't supposed to compliant against open border policies and uncontrolled illegal migration" isn't that the exact same rhetoric or is it my imagination?

  so one of stephen lett's go to arguments is that christians do not take up arms because we don't live in ancient times where israelites had a mandate to occupy the holy land where as we gentile christians we don't.

  1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

  by neat blue dog in

  he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

  a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

  generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

  NEW LIGHT ON THE 144,000 EXPLAINED

  the watchtower’s approach to "new light" is, frankly, a masterclass in manipulation.

  when they introduce a new interpretation or change their teachings, it's presented as a revelation, showcasing just how guided and spiritually in-tune the governing body is.

  Lest we forget

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while (naturally) this site emphasises the sins of the jw organisation, we should never forget that the jw sins only mirror similar sins in other 'christian' organisations.. this story, featured on the web-site of australia's government owned media group (the abc) tells the story of father damian barker, a roman catholic priest in perth w.a., who was guilty of sexually abusing young boys.

  the rc church reluctantly admits to such behaviour (a similar reluctance mirrored in the jw organisation).

  but, as this article discusses, the influence of priests in the rc church allows a greater scope for this sort of behaviour, and father damian could (theoretically) have abused hundreds +++ of young boys.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-27/toolkit-of-alleged-paedophile-carmelite-priest-damian-barker/101619514.

  Anyone else remember the Awake saying this?

  by BottanicPepper in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i may have put this in the wrong thread.

  if so, i'm sorry.. my conundrum is this.... i am almost completely certain that an awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and i seem to remember them actually naming guns and roses.. i can't find anything now, and i'm wondering if it's the mandela effect, or if it's another case of the cdrom versions of the awakes being doctored again.. does anyone else remember this?

  or am i crazy?

  2. bible

  karl klien life story from the watchtower.. "president rutherford had repeated occasions to reprove me for breaking some rule.

  (under president knorr 1950) brother knorr invited me to join the writing department...when i told him it did not matter where i served he reproved me..saying when an added privilege is offered we should be eager to accept it...my attitude was due to my health which has always been a problem.

  knorr was older we were like brothers with the older brother knorr prone to expressing inpatients to my short comings.
