  Lunacy or apostasy?

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over the years i have heard some really strange beliefs shared openly with others in the congregation.

  one sister, for example, stated that you could not be cremated because then "all your molecules will be spread around and jehovah couldn't put you back together.

  " kinda sounds like she got stuck in a nursery rhyme there, a la humpty dumpty.. .

  There was once a reply on the watchtower by a sister that at the UN they invited the brothers from bethel brooklyn and asked them how on earth they gained the knowledge about the attack on all religions. She then told that the UN told the brothers that it was a script of the UN and that it was supposed to be highly classified adn was not supposed to be known. In other words: according to the sister the UN was ready to strike at any moment at any time to attack all world religions! They were just waiting for the word "go" ... It was heared by around 70-80 people that were in the hall. Absolutely bonkers!

  Please keep in mind she is adressing someone (or a group of people)... If you are adressing someone it just isn't nice to talk like that. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech but more with ethics and morals. You CAN disagree and YES you can say whatever you wanna say BUT there are some unwritten "rules".

  Let me make one thing clear: I am NOT attacking her points of view... she is absolutely right! ... I am not someone who uses Argumentum ad Hominem... I am just saying that if you want to win someone for your cause it is better to use honey then acid.

  In other video's for example she uses arguments without being rude... If I compare this video with the other one(s) it is just not working that well.

  CHECK OUT THE ART WORK!!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the watchtower december 15th 2013.. .

  why did the artist only include seven apostles at the last supper?

  does he know the truth that 12 were there, (luke 22:17-23) so he didn't want to 'hang' himself by drawing 12 drinking the wine?

  Although she makes a good point it is just not the way you should talk to JW's... it only creates more hardship and close them against TTATT. It would only give them "proof" that apostates are hatefull...

  After the critics I got yesterday I have dumped the couple of pages I wrote and am trying to rewrite. It was mostly because of the style: I was writing more abstract then I should (A bit like the silmarillion which most of the readers of Lord of the Rings seem to dislike)> I am now trying to find the way which Zound showed me. I think the story could be nice but I still have a long way to go

  I translated your part in dutch again and I must say it looks a lot better indeed!

  Any idea for a title? "Before The Beginning" perhaps?

  Zound... It might be indeed a good idea of Valkyrie. I am no writer but more a thinker of a concept. Question is: do you like the idea? And should I continue with it? Or is it something the main stream would not like to read anyways?

  I was discussing this with a friend of mine and I must say I already had downsized it a lot. It is just fricking hard to discribe a big source of energy without being abstract :D... it will get easier when I get further on with the human part but the divine part is hard for my imagination.

  Dear all,

  Today I decided I will write a book. It will NOT be a book about my findings or revelations about TTATT and neither will it be a book about my personal experiences. I want to write a "fantasy"-book based on the Bible, the book of Enoch and the Book of Jasher and mingle it to one big stew.

  The story will start with the Creation of everything (including the Logos) and will probably end after the distruction of the first world by the flood and the enchainment of the fallen angles.

  I am planning to name it: The Creation and Destruction of the Saints and I will post (a part) of the first chapter here as soon as I can. I am writing the book in dutch (native language) and I hope that, if it ever get published, it will be translated in other languages as well.

  Here goes the a part of the first chapter:

  Chapter 1: In the beginning

  In the beginning of history there was nothing. There was no cosmos, no galaxy or no earth for that matter. Matter just did not excist in the beginning. And yet, there was still "something" outside the "nothingness". It was not just "something". "Something" is not just "something" but an almighty, alknowing, infinity living being. This being has always existed and will always exist because it is the biggest opposite of the "nothingness". He is Elohim.

  Although Elohim always existed and always will exist, somewhere in history a new period started which we humans call "a beginning". For us, humans, it means the beginning of mankind as we know it but for Elohim the "beginning" was much more special.

  ...

  Tell me what you think of these first couple of sentences please :) could use your input
