  the muslim council of britain and uk jewish organisations want the uk government to enshrine into law their perceptions of what kind of speech constitutes islamophobia or anti-semitism/hate crime.

  should british christians follow suit?

  People are accused of being anti-semitic if they have merely expressed a dissenting view of the Israeli government.

  There is a big difference between the two.

  3. Self Identifying

  Perhaps this news story about two female transexuals who both changed into males and then changed back into females will get more people to reassess the "Emperor's new clothes" mentality regarding genuine gender.

  If someone demands the right to "self-identify" as a hamster, fine, let them call themselves whatever they want to, but don't vilify/criminalise me by taking away my right to say that a man is a man and a hamster is a hamster!

  Thanks again Atlantis.

  @ Slim: maybe the cult is hoping for a sudden windfall - countless legacies being grabbed in 2020 thanks to the coronavirus prematurely ending the lives of many older JW's who've named the cult in their wills.

  Would any Hollywood or TV director ever dare to have an actor say, "Bloody Mohammed?" (PBUH)

  I simply say to them, "That's OK, it's just a cash sale." Even after stating this, some have persisted and said that it's "only in case you need to claim a refund" or it's "just for the invoice." A refund or invoice for a bottle of wood glue or a box of screws???

  I'm never asked for my postcode whenever I buy a Snickers bar in the supermarket! GDPR, folks.

  Do you think any of the GB have different beliefs?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think any higher ups know that much of the doctrine they teach is bunk?

  thinking back to the time of raymond franz, how he pointed out specifically numerous teachings that the churches really did have right all along, and really any of the hidden mic apostacy trials you listen to on youtube, you see that even when inconvenient bible teachings are proven, the elders just try to sweep it under the rug and move on.

  i think i remember franz saying how one of the gb approached him somewhat sympathetically, but there was nothing he could do.. whether you believe in the bible or not, there are some basic beliefs common among most denominations because they're just so plainly stated, such things as heavenly life for all christians, no central authority structure, minimal use of god's name, etc.

  I had two Circuit Overseers point-blank refuse to discuss the org's dogma which says Romans 6:7 refers to a person's physical death and not figurative - as verses 2,4,6,8,10,11 clearly prove.

  In hindsight, I concluded that these two men couldn't risk agreeing with a publisher and being 'outed.'

  Hebrews 13:8

  by Acer21 in

  hebrews 13:8.

  "jesus christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.".

  the book of hebrews declare that jesus is god in this verse.

  Acer, if God & Jesus are one and the same, (no H.S. mentioned!) then the following two scriptures need some explaining:

  (Galatians 3:20) Now there is no mediator when just one person is involved, but God is only one.

  (1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,

  It would appear that two separate parties are involved with men here.

  JW's - your hierarchy perverts the Bible so much, why?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower

  (revelation 5:10) - and you made them to the god of us kingdom and priests, and they are reigning upon the earth.

  (nwt kindom interlinear).

  Consider:

  (Revelation 5:10) - and you made them to the God of us kingdom and priests, and they are reigning upon the earth. (NWT Kindom Interlinear)

  (Revelation 5:10) . . .and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.” (RNWT)

  The original Greek says certain ones will be reigning, (βασιλεύουσιν) it does not say they will be kings.
  

  Also, the original Greek clearly says that they will be upon the earth - not above or over it.

  Scripture proves scripture: The messianic prophecy at Psalm 45:16 says, "You will appoint them as princes (not kings) in all the earth."

  Princes (rulers, chieftains, heads, officials under king) on the earth - not kings in heaven! Example: Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego were all rulers - not kings.

  As for the cult's alleged 144,000 king-priests, Paul must have been exaggerating Christ's parallel to Melchizedek - if 144,000 window-cleaners etc. are also going to become king-priest Melchizedek clones:

  (Hebrews 5:5, 6) "So, too, the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by the One who said to him: “You (not 144,000 others) are a priest forever in the manner of Melchizedek.”

  (Hebrews 7:11) "...what further need would there be for another priest (not 144,000) to arise who is said to be in the manner of Melchizedek." (not 'are' like Melchizedek)

  (Hebrews 7:15) "And this becomes even clearer when another priest (not 144,000) arises who is like Melchizedek," (not 'are' like Melchizedek)

  When we were active JW's, we never questioned our spectator status. We just obeyed what the self-proclaimed 'slave' told us we had to do - "respectfully observe." Those two words appear in the same Bible verse as "immortal soul" & "holy trinity."

  @ SeaBreeze - (Revelation 5:9) . . .for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people (not spirit king-priests) for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, (RNWT)
