the main article on jw.org is about the succesfull olympic games 2024 in paris.. many withness watch all the sport episodes of the games, but jw.org comes with a sour story about the games and not reaching real peace.. again jw.org is on the wrong side of history a d doesn't feel the public anx jw opinion.

the closing remarks of the ioc president bach, thaf the games will not reach peace but plant peace in the hart of people was a strong message.. the organization and message of the games is all that jw.org wants to, but can't.. very sad and narrow minded, as ever.

gorby.

Seems like WT only wants peace on THEIR terms, by the killing of billions of people. They're on the WEF program, not God's.

Is 1st Century advice on marriage still relevant in today’s modern world?

by liam in

republicans want to make a law that forbids ‘uncontested divorce”.

they based this on this scripture.. matthew 19. is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”.

4 “haven’t you read,” jesus replied, “that at the beginning the creator ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Marriage was between man woman and God, only relatively recently did church and state hijack marriages as another way to control the population. And as another source of revenue. Slavery isn't condemned anywhere in the Bible but then it still exists everywhere, we're all wage and or tax slaves. Freedom in this world is an illusion, or why is it that only the super rich don't pay tax at all.

Sad observation

reading about jw.org rules changes these days gives me a sad observation.. everything what "is" today, can be gone tomorrow.. that makes it all worthless.

you were an elder, searching for evidence, and proof to df a person.

because he or she was not humble enough.

KerryKing

Their Bible trained conscience, sorry WT trained, allows for all the changes because they're all Jehovah's doing, they're just following orders, sorry I mean following the 'new light'.

But they own both corporations don't they?

So there really is no schism?

Under Aims for IBSA it states 'legal agency for Jehovah's Witnesses '.

What does that mean legally, how does that affect individual 'baptised' (actually sworn in) members of the religion?

Do JWs believe Jesus is an angel?

by slimboyfat in

i would suggest:.

the short answer is yes.. the longer answer is a qualified yes, with some caveats.

the short answer is yes because jehovah’s witnesses teach that jesus is michael the archangel, their leader, eldest and most powerful, and have taught this since the very beginning of the religion.

KerryKing

In the Lord's Prayer though, Jesus does not end with 'through Jesus Christ Amen', he doesn't even mention himself once in that prayer.

Why did the Jews bring sacrifices to the high priest? What was the point of killing all those animals if not for forgiveness of sins?

Jesus was the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, and is a High Priest, but only OUR High Priest if we believe in Him.

I love your ability to quote scripture so accurately!

How would you rate the Watchtower approved songs?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i was asking why jws won't sing any church hymns even if they were doctrinally correct.

jws asked me in response if i would sing any of their songs.. dan watkins wrote .

its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.

They'll probably soon use AI to create their art and music, more Bethelites on the streets.

What would happen if the religion just straight out gets outed as bad? The ORG admits to it and all the members get told to disperse

by Starlight.vee in

like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.

how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.

there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.

Inspired:

This moving little word may be traced back to the Latin inspirare (“to breathe or blow into”), which itself is from the word spirare, meaning “to breathe.” It didn't take long to establish itself in a figurative sense, as our earliest written English uses of inspire give it the meaning “to influence, move, or guide (as to speech or action) through divine or supernatural agency or power.” Many of the early figurative senses of inspire are religious in nature, so it is not surprising to learn that the word shares a connection with spirit (which comes from the Latin word for “breath,” spiritus, which is also from spirare).

I believe that to have the spirit of Christ is to be inspired by him, not possessed, which would involve removing your free will and coming under another's influence.

We are debating about ancient languages that nobody speaks anymore, which have been badly translated by people who were not inspired nor did they ever claim to be. Translators translated fragments of documents as best they could, and added things in from time to time, like some tiny changes to support a trinity doctrine for example, and translators kept translating over hundreds of years until we got to modern languages which don't even have equivalent words to literally translate the texts.

I speak 4 languages, modern languages, and it's impossible to translate one from above word for word, that gets 100x more difficult when you're dealing with ancient 'dead' languages.

Yes the word of God was inspired by God, but the translators were not, neither were the apostates who put together the bible canon and for 1500 years only circulated the KJV with its little Catholic add ons, and God allowed all of that.

So is it really useful to bicker and debate over single words and phrases when noone can prove one way or another which part is truly from God himself?

Jesus said we'd worship in spirit and truth, not in the detail of doctrine. He said his disciples would be recognised by the love they have for each other.

To be inspired by Jesus, is to be full of his spirit of love, to observe the 2 main commandments, and to put faith in Jesus as our Saviour . There are no hidden messages or secrets that require great intellect, or hours of debate , Jesus said a child could understand this.

It is simple.

Peace and love to all .
