  A conversation about universal sovereignty

  by outsmartthesystem in

  "well osts, satan, through adam challenged god's right to rule......so god had to let it play out to show that he really should be the one ruling mankind.

  both the angels and humans needed to see this.

  me - why couldn't god have allowed adam's children to remain perfect?

  lately when we have our family study we have been just reading the bible alone, without wt spin.

  however i really need to start asking her good questions that wont set off her apostadar.

  so i ask you fine folks; what are some questions or ways i can use the family study to help her think and start using her own mind on key ideas.

  Is it disrespectful to call God by his name?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this seems to me to be yet another flawed reasoning from the wt.

  god is supposed to be jw's "father".

  it always seemed a bit strange even when i was mentally in, the argument they used to support using the name jehovah.

  Question from a dummy (but very helpful if anyone can tell me): Do the members of the GB or anyone that serves get paid?

  by FingersCrossed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the jw-land, are there any of the gb, elders, or whatever posts/people get paid for doing the "good work"?

  do they receive any monetary income (in term of salary/allowance/whatever as long as it is $$$) which come from donation aka from the congregation?.

  Therefore there is no difference from the ministers or pastors in the "Christendom" getting paid (I believe very few of the pastors can afford the luxuries these GB have using their salary).
