  The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

  2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

  4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

  What I want to know is why the WT/ JW organization has said that AM111 is no longer one of the GB members .

  They have their reasons for this demotion but apparently the R&F are not privvy to that information ,why not ?

  What is it about the secrecy of AM111 no longer being a GB member ? and why ?

  Please explain WT/ JW ,we have a right to know.

  Jesus' instruction for the witnessing work in Luke 24

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jesus told simply and plainly what he wanted his disciples should go and preach about.

  he said the same day he went up to heaven in luke 24:46-48.

  46 and he said to them, “this is what is written: that the christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, 47 and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations—starting out from jerusalem.

  But of course I believe that Jesus will have help from 144000 kings and priests to rule over mankind for 1000 years.

  Can you just imagine that ?

  144,000 and one , different opinions on how to rule over mankind for a thousand years ?

  Babylon`s experience will pale into insignificance if that ever takes place !

  the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.

  As already mentioned by others, move on and create a good life for yourself, involving people who like, respect and love you for who you are now.

  I think that sums it up nicely

  And as someone else said you don`t need toxic people in your life. move on.

  It`s their loss if you are not in their life anymore.

  Conscience Issues

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thought inspired by my post on tattoos: within the watchtower organisation, how many "conscience issues" actually are?

  are people who actually do exercise their consciences in grey areas painting a target on their backs for the more hard-line dubs?

  are they quietly avoided because " bad associations spoil useful habits"?

  Maybe we could add

  smoking ?

  Alcohol ?

  soft drugs ?

  I personally new of Elders and MS, who smoked and drank alcohol ,how much is too much and how little can we get away with ?

  To each his own I say.

  Whatever grabs your fancy.

  Who can live in this world without some small vice ? as you get older ?

  in the revelation book it talks about jesus' witnesses.

  were are true witnesses of jesus, not those who teach that jesus is the almighty god, but really true witnesses of jesus.. this is what the revelation book ways about witnesses of jesus:.

  19:10 ..... brothers who have the work of witnessing concerning jesus.

  When people in this world stop taking what the Bible says as gospel " truth" we can all move on and prosper and not be kept back by religious superstition.

  I should print out a copy of that and show the next JW who calls at my door and ask him/her if they have seen the new version of the Bible?
