.

my answer to my own question would be no!

However I still believe some of the teachings that were taught to me, and proven to be from the Bible.

Any so called christian denomination will have teachings that can be proved as true by the Bible - it goes without saying.-SolidSender

The GB should take an example from this when they make their own law as opposed to what the Bible says on certain matters.

Spec - hate to be the one to have to break the news to you pal but the GB are just a bunch of nobodies who think they are somebodies because people like you continue to subscribe to their program of mindcontrol. In case you hadn't heard subordination to a man made intermediary organisation is not prerequisite to a relationship with God & Christ.

Romans 3:20
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. 21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.

Spec, I get worked up about this I know but the way I see it the issue at stake here is not really religion, the religion is in a way just a diabolically brilliant instrument these guys ( THE GB ) use, use to control the minds and lives of millions of people ensuring support of their power structure. In the hands of these sinister, deceitful, fascists (the GB) the bible becomes the ultimate Authoritarian weapon.Spec why do you want to give these men control of your mind?-SolidSender

Sure Zep, the old blame your brother for talking about a porno he'd watched to the class when really it was you routine! By the way what did you think of the shower scene in that movie?

Swaggart Can of Worms Re Opened

to the weak i became weak, to win the weak.

i have become all things to all men so that by all possible means i might save some.

“To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some”. 1 Cor 9.22

"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Matt 5.25

Two questions:
1) Would anybody care to explain the meaning of these scriptures?

2) If Paul was willing to be all things to all men in order that they may be SAVED why wasn’t the GB then willing to be all things to the rank & file JW in regard to the Swaggart friend of court matter? In plain english: regardless of the arguments as to to whether or not the GB’s actions were sound legally - in choosing to go ahead with their friend of court strategy in the Swaggart case the GB would have known full well that the consequences of pursuing that strategy, if disclosed, would be the stumbling of many brothers and sisters ( due to rank & file JW naturally PERCEIVING that the GB was getting into bed with the Swaggart - BabylontheGreat crowd ). Despite knowing that many brothers and sisters were going to be stumbled when they found out about this the GB still proceeded with their involvement in the case – prove to me that that isn’t first degree bloodguilt?-SolidSender
