Questions About WT September 1, 2012

by Aware! in

in pp.

12-15 there is an auto-biography about a former pentecostal evangelist who said she had the power to heal.

i've never understood this.

The mind's a powerful thing (placebo effect). I read somewhere a long time ago that praying and/or faith healing work (if they work) because they alleviate stress. I still don't know why she would lose her "power", but maybe it has to do with her burning the books and anything associated with it? I wanted to start a new thread asking people if they believed in demons and why. Is it a good idea? I know WTWizard is a Satanist so he must believe in demons, but why if he doesn't believe in the Bible? I've only been here for a short while so I'm not well informed.

It's a shame that I have to stay in it for a bit longer, if I want to have a house to live in.

Same here...

Sorry guys I just don't know, I still believe in the supernatural because I can't explain things—a lot of things. If demons are real then there must be a God. At this point I'm not agnostic but deist. I'm young and have yet to finish reading the Bible, but it seems to be taking forever because I'm doing it slowly. I have to give it a chance and hear what it has to say. I don't expext to understand it after reading it one time. Thousands of years have passed and I don't think anyone understands it completely.

I know a couple of elders who have never read the Bible entirely. At least they were honest and admitted it to me. Preparing for the Bible Highlights?! It's not like you can read the assigned chapters and share your interpretation. It has to be an interpretation given by the WT before. Do you remember seeing brothers with their spiral-bound TMS "answers"?

Anyone have a Kindle or a Nook?

by Simon in

i really don't like the ipad (or apple) but i think an ebook reader would be nice.

nothing made by sony though .... the amazon kindle and barnes & noble nook look to be the best (esp.

with the recent price reductions) but i'd like any insight from anyone who has one.

Aware!

I have a Nook Simple Touch and it is awesome. Very user friendly. It doesn't render .pdfs nicely and you can't do anything else but read so distractions are limited. There are lots of free public domain books out there for you to download, and Barnes & Nobel has Free Fridays where it promotes an ebook picked by them and makes it free for a limited time. The new Nook Simple Touch has a built-in light for reading in the dark.

If solid proof were suddenly found that the Book of Enoch should be included in the standard Bible, would that pose a problem for the Jehovah's Witnesses in regards to Michael the Archangel as Jesus?

by I_love_Jeff in

if the book of enoch (elaborates and gives mention to 6 more archangels) suddenly became part of the bible due to solid evidence, how would this effect the shakey jw doctrine of michael the archangel as being jesus?

there are six other archangels mentioned in this book; could it be possible, if included in the jw bible, that one of the other archangels could be jesus?

would they excuse it somehow and simply stick with their implicit understanding of jesus=michael?.

Aware!

Who gets to decide which books go in our Bible? I've been wanting to get a catholic Bible to read the apocrypha. I could read online but I prefer to have a book in my hand.

Isn't the book of Enoch mentioned in the book of Jude?
