  The Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Orgins of Christianity

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it interesting to find out that the book of the dead also called the pyramid text which dates back to 1500 bce is most likely where christianity gets its origins.

  the egyptians believed that when one died his spirit or one aspect of it would go to heaven then return to the resurrected body.

  the body was mummified to prepare it for the resurrection and all organs taken out of it except the heart.

  Hmmm. I wonder who's buried under this pyramid!

  Here's a clue: The resident, a strong believer in pyramidology, believed that when he died his spirit would go to heaven?

  by Jonathan Drake in

  2. friends

  i'm sure someone somewhere has asked this question, but along with the contempt written on morris face i've also noticed the club ring.

  im sure you've all noticed it.

  does anyone have any insider information on the gold rings they where?

  Jehovahs Chariot ... as driven by the GB

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  someone mentioned "jehovahs chariot is on the move" on another topic and i immediately had flashbacks to those articles where they tried to explain how a chariot could have wheels that went in every direction and also had eyes, something idiotic.. i had a chuckle because the image that then popped into my head when i thought about those wheels going every direction was not one of those clever honda devices with the clever wheel thingy - no, it was a supermarket trolley.

  you know the ones where one or two of the wheels wobbly and have a mind of their own and typically want to veer off suddenly into an elaborate display of tinned food?.

  that is jehovahs chariot as driven by the governing body.

  2014 Watchtower Library CD (very discreetly) changed the Insight article on Faithful and Discreet Slave

  by Gilgamesh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the updated article on the "fds" makes several changes although it still lists the article/entry as if it had come from the 1988 edition of insight on the scriptures, vol.

  (1co 3:2, 5; 4:1, 2; compare mt 4:4.

  at the same time the individual members making up such composite body, or the domestics making up the house of god (mt 24:45; heb 3:6; eph 2:19), would also be recipients of the food dispensed.

  Need help compiling a list of the latest changes in doctrine and practices

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have former jws looking at jwfacts.com in order to update themselves with what is happening with the religion, so that they can better understand their jw family.

  it thought it would help if there was a page devoted to what has changed since 2000. .

  2012 oct release of jw.org - jws encouraged to download their own publications and use ipads at meetings and field service.

  Apostates were "mentally diseased." A changed to these words in the Revised New World translation.

  Comparison:

  Watchtower, July 15, 2011 "Apostates are mentally diseased...(1 Tim 6:3,4)"
  

  New World translation Reference Bible (1984) - 1 Timothy 6:4 - "mentally diseased" 

  Revised New World translation (2013) - 1 Timothy 6:4 - "obsessed"
  

  The word "obsessed" nullifies the below comment found in the Watchtower July 15, 2011 if the new revised version of the bible was used:

  Suppose that a doctor told you to avoid contact with someone who is infected with a contagious, deadly disease. You would know what the doctor means, and you would strictly heed his warning. Well, apostates are "obsessed," and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings. (1 Tim. 6:3, 4) Jehovah, the Great Physician, tells us to avoid contact with them. We know what he means, but are we determined to heed his warning in all respects?

  Serena Williams

  by New day in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a big tennis fan and today i watched serena williams win the australian open, one of the four tournaments which make up the pinnacle of achievement in the tennis world, the grand slam.

  in her victory speech the first thing she said was that she thanked her god jehovah for the victory.

  now i know that rumours have circulated for a long time as to whether she is a baptised witness or not, but she is definitely associated with witnesses .

  Interesting situation. So Serena was praying to her god, Jehovah, to help her win. And she won.
  
  While at the same time potentially up to 4.56 million of Serena's fans were praying to their personal god, which according to the theology of Jehovah's Witnesses is primarily Satan, to help her to win. And she won.
  
  Poor Maria Sharapova. Looks like Serena Williams and co. have both baselines covered.

  Woke up this morning to the realization that the future is now

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the title of the thread says, i woke up this morning realizing more than ever that we should, each and every one of us, live for today and what we can accomplish today, rather than constantly looking toward the future.. i'm not implying we shouldn't make plans, plans are healthy and advisable, especially if you have healthy commitments.. but i realized the reason why nothing in my life ever seems to get done, is because i put things off, and look ahead 10 years down the line, then a few days later realize how much work needs to be put into that said task, then i don't do anything.

  and so the cycle seems to repeat itself.. what i think i'm trying to say is that worthwhile endeavors that have a reward at the end, but take many years to get there, need to be challenged one day at a time.

  i now understand that to get to where we want to be 10 years down the line, we need to focus on today and the hard work that needs to be out into a task one day at a time.

  Today is always yesterdays future. The flip side is it is always tomorrows past. Therefore you have enough time to change the future, thereby changing what you thought what the past.
