Luke 23:43 the NWT

by Ade in

luke 23:43 - and jesus said to him, "positively i say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.

nwt places comma here , giving a totally different meaning to the verse.

now the average jw uses this to back their doctrine and it seems in itself virtually impossible to reason with them on it.

No EasyPrompt, the early Christians didn't think it to be figurative they believed it to be LITERAL.I'd rather believe their interpretation rather some theory concorted 20 centuries later that tries to make everything figurative, THERE IS LIFE UNDER THE EARTH.Jesus taught it,The apostles taught it, The Jews and so many other cultures before believe it to be the case

The 1st century Jews believed Paradise to be a compartment of Hades or Seol were the "blessed" went. Jesus didn't go to heaven that day neither he was asleep in the grave, he went to Seol and then to preach to the spirits in prison who are in a different compartment called Tartarus, this was a famous article of faith that all first few centuries Christians believed and recited called the "Harrowing of Hell" look it up

Great research, enjoyed reading it. Babylon the Great is an actual city that controls the whole world for the first 3 1/2 years of the LAST DAYS as clearly stated in the book of Revelation but I don't think vaccinations is what she is engaging in. The verses more likely refer to form of worship that will exist in the end times, as in old times sorcery was relying on the use of drugs (= pharmakeia) to bring the person in a state of mind where he/she engages with the spirit world so it will be in the near future.

Guaranteed way not to get disfellowshipped

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

if it’s looking like someone may be disfellowshiped or announced they are no longer a jw and they don’t want to be shunned they just want to fade without being shunned - just say that would make me suicidal .

simple.

in the new shepherding book it says if they say that then don’t go ahead with it.

Hi Bluesbrother, this is my video, I'm sorry to hear that you think it is blathering, I'm making a clear point that this video is an informatial for UN CAMPS and since the Watchtower supposedly is against United Nations such adoration should not be allowed

(,English is my second language and I have sacrificed alot as a jw (time,energy, and jw punishments)to have my face on youtube )

This happened in my congregation and an elder's daughter used it to avoid disfewllowshiping, it worked like a treat.It is not fading ,she never tried to fade and she comes and goes as she pleases based on mental issues get out of jail card. This is better than fading.
