Take a moment and look at it an entirely different way . . .

by Terry in

a transcendant being resides as a glob of cellular matter in a woman's body for nine months stitching together a human without the dna of a male human being.. the being is squeezed out of the vaginal canal of his host/mother and has to poop and piss on himself for a couple of years.

what is wrong with this picture?.

the consciousness of the fetus would be what, then?.

C'mon man--Jesus written life was just like the movies and tv show-no one goes to the bathroom on hollywood! I wonder all the time when and the world does Jack Bauer has time to go to the "can". I guess it's in-between commercials !!

Whether being a "creation" or being "made" (see the greek words) is just a product of YHWH person. He could be that kind of person that's just not that emotional. Read all accounts that deals with his speaking. Even in Moses time before going into the read sea after assuring Moses and the people he says "why do you keep calling out to me"....One would think that he understands the panic mode of humans but maybe not. Maybe he is learning about the development of mans thinking aong the way-who knows!

Think of the only person in the bible he calls "friend". Reading the account its not much emotion there. I believe Jesus in saying we should rfere to him as "father" is from the stand point trying to connect him as only our maker and provider without the hugs.

He is so above anything we can imagine, Grand and Lofty with billions of humans and angels to deal with- can you really see time for any type of emotional relationship!

by bruh2012 in

based on this weeks congregation bible study in the "draw close to jehovah" book, jesus is not yhwh from what you read in prov.

8:22-32. unless there it is a hebrew word snafu - at least verses 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31 speaks of two people.. correct?.

Our Spin On Sunday's Lesson "Spending Long Periods Of Time At Beth-hell and R.B.C Might Lead to Homosexuality or Incest.

by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

sunday's lesson is a doosy, it's very good advice for all jws with professional skills and abilities to avoid offering up their time for any period over a week, lest they might get lured in to a sexual relationship with another man, woman or animal or perhaps incest?.

why does the watchtower have problems with jws who have jobs that require long stays and travel?

keeps them off welfare and provides for their familes, they are control freaks!.

bruh2012

In looking at that article

-WTBS are millionaires and is building a new home- what nerve they have for crushing a families chance to want a better standard of life!

-where was the husbands support with the kid? He didnt stop her!

-doesnt seem possible the kid would tell his mom- stay away but keep sending gifts!

-if this is a cultural thing- why not give guidelines and or pros and cons?

-where was the counsel in the article about the sisters in the congregation that encouraged her?

-why stereo-type this cultural situation to say its all bad- can't imagine that MOST cases is like this even amoung witnesses?

-trying to make your life better = materialism! Then WTBS is materialistic in building a new home and certainly not following Christ to build storehouses in heaven.

Gods Kingdom? Who wants it?

by Jeannette in

if gods kingdom is anything like the laws of leviticus and other books, it will be tough on women and children.

a man gets into a fight with another man and his wife impulsively grabs the offenders testies.

her hands are cut off.

bruh2012

We know YHWH does everything for a reason even when we don't understand.

I think as YHWH got to know the complex creation called man he toned down things.

Gods kingdom will take on the bubble of Christ and not ancient Isreal of the desert. So don't worry, you would not have to worry about sand between your toes!

watchtowers army assault on our vulnerable elderly in nursing homes

by friendaroonie in

jw
friends

its been a long time since i have been this enraged at the evilness and shameless exploitation by the jws.

i just got back from the meeting (dont ask) and sat through the km article laying out plans to mass convert nursing homes all over the world.

i am not going to labor the obvious ethical travesty of this plan but i will say that it constitutes a major public health risk.

bruh2012

I know what you mean- during the meeting I'm thinking are they really serious! In the kingdom ministry as an insert with 14 paragraphs!

We can look at it as a truly noble thing to help older people to the "truth" or they see potienal $$ leads.

I guess there is no giving them the benefit of doubt especially since the latest money grab huh!

If the new Governing body Saunderson was baptised in 1975 - you could be anointed too

by bruh2012 in

someone mention on another thread about the newest- youngest governing body member- if he is anointed being baptised around 1975 why wouldnt anyone else baptised around that time be anointed too!.

right ???

or since the call to be anointed ended in 1935 teaching became no more with new light - is it random choosing now??

Was Job's kids resurrected?

by bruh2012 in

job was part of the congregation book study discussion this week (talking about jehovahs regenerative power) in that he knew that god will ressurect him if he remained faithful.. how ironic though that jobs kids were not resurrected, gods choose to bless him with 7 "more" boys and 3 "more" girls.. the lesson said god has a yearning to resurrect people that wasn't the case with job's children.. this may not be a big deal but it makes me wonder how true this could be the wt teaching on people coming back in the resurrection with new bodies.

with their old personality like jesus did with the apostles on the beach after his resurrection so they could reconize him..

Ray Franz - is he REALLY a hero?

on one hand, he's enlightnened many to the internal circle jerk that is the governing body (circa the 70s).. but if there's one reason that can be pointed to for the jws becoming full on cult, it's ray franz.

without him leaving in the manner he did, and stirring the pot, they might not have change the rule (retroatively i might add) on shunning of disassociated ones.

they specifically changed that so they could remove him and eliminate his influence.. his actions single handedly have created the situation where we have to fade, evade, leave marriages, say goodbye to family, just because we don't buy the jw bullsh!t anymore.

bruh2012

We also have to thank Barbara Anderson also for her inside information as well. She to should be a hero of "NEW LIGHT".

The WT Isn't Going Away (sorry got long)

by LostGeneration in

jw

i've seen more threads and comments in the last week about the "demise of the wt" than in some time.

several were on threads about the donation arrangement and how its going to backfire in some way on the wt.

oh and the lone elder who was pissed in some sort of passive-aggresive manner about it when he presented the resolution.

bruh2012

The WT is going away! the GB cannot give us information past the "new scrolls" opening the start of the 1,000 years and will not even attempt it! if they did it will show them up as making up stuff because there is nothing scriptural they can hook on.

The GB/144000 has told us when their run will end in that life changing article this past year.

They then presented the article that dealt with listening to the Elders since they will take over things eventually from the local level. Then recently the CO (their link to the local congregations) taking more control.

Now preparing for the "there is nothing else to worry about" comfort time with a steady flow of cash to cover anything that comes their way, new fresh facilities, new controls in place they will be good to go til their rapture. Hoping yes hoping that their legacy go into the 1,000 years.

True depending on when God decides to bring a new age we will have the WT in america the land of the free - unless they are made to go away due to a barriage of lawsuits even then they would just get knocked around.

Ray's expose' is NEW LIGHT that light that brighten our understanding , yes open a door into a place that for all our JW life we had no clue went on.

We never question why they were so closed doors, why you can't get audience with them when you visit bethel other than running into one of them in the hallway.

Face it, all we knew was that GB was the closest thing to Jehovah and that they were directing us in love with his holy spirit under Christ direction- and thats what we based our entire trust on in these people in every word that came from their mouth (words on paper)!

To have this information availible gives us a NEW life changing perspective to use whether to stay or go. Some start to feel sorry for them, some start hating, some actually leave, but whatever the case it doesn't get rid of the mental/emotional scares that has been formed, yet we are more informed to examine and analysis with a sharper eye the crap that comes from them.

Ray is my hero- who knows we all may be able to tell him in the new system!
