My Birthday, Jesus Birthday, and Whats Really Pagan

by RayPublisher in

hey folks i recently celebrated my very first birthday party!

there was a big "one" candle on the cake and we had a blast.

it felt great to be "normal" and just do what other people do.

I've found that if you tell them that anniversaries and the entire wedding arrangement (ceremony and rings) are of pagan origin, most Jdubs STFU.

I go even further by educating them on how make-up, jewelry and the braiding of hair was condemned in the bible and of pagan origin.

A few months ago I spoke with an Elder and some ministerial servants at a gathering and asked them, "Why is it that we do not follow the jewish traditions or festivals which Jesus celebrated/followed?" They were a bit stumped but they began reasoning that Jehovah lost favor with the Jews when they killed Jesus and so the Jewish religion and its traditions are apostate.

Everything is either pagan or apostate if it doesnt originate with the Watchtower Society. Even practices found in early Christianity from the 1st century later is considered apostate christendom. These cult leaders are such hypocritical debbie downers

Why did the Early Church Accept the Four NT Gospels and Reject the Gnostic Gospels?

by Christ Alone in

this has been a subject that has been explored by many secular scholars today.

bart ehrman is one of them.

the divinci code had this to say about why the gospels were chosen:.

I have read opposing views and they are all from evangelical biased sources with the agenda of proving foundamentalism. Have you read his book?

Well, I am not a Bart Ehrman apologist, but I have read his book and agree with many of his points on the inspiration or presuppositions made about the bible. That video you just posted really doesn't touch the entire subject of the book and just relegates everything to a book Dan Wallace wrote. Here is a debate between this scholar Dan Wallace and Bart Ehrman. Ehrman argues against Christian foundamentalism, not the Christian faith.

What in particular is he wrong about? And have you read Misquoting Jesus?

Somebody just recently uploaded Bart Ehrman's early christianity lectures onto YouTube, I would suggest anyone interested in this topic to check it out. His lectures start from the completion of the NT and end at 325 Nicene counsel. Ehrman is one of THE authorities on the subject and a great teacher.

The Governing Body Rewrites the Organizations Past and Future History

by Cameron_Don in

jw
friends

watchtower annual meeting report.

october 6, 2012. during their annual meeting the governing body announced some changes in their interpretation of (1) the most important scripture in watch-tower theology, and (2) the most important event in watchtower history.

are their changes new light according to proverbs, or refinement according to daniel and malachi?

Emery

Thanks Don, I started a topic on this a month or so ago and it appears great minds think alike :) I felt this new teaching is to reduce some of the gapping wholes found in the doctrine. Especially the lunatic food Jesus would have approved of during the 1919 inspection.

Circuit Assembly Highlights. Day 1

by DATA-DOG in

well things were actually pretty boring.

i mean really boring.

that's the price of fading i guess.

Emery

Data thanks for prepping those of us who will be attending at some point. I will be attending mine soon enough with the wifey :(

Also ....I will probably vomit all over the person in front of me when they go over the crazy DF'ing segment.
