during your lifetime or after you pass away, what do you want your legacy to be?

what do you want people to remember about you?

Silent Lambs/Bill Bowen..Who rejoices now?

by wasasister in

having read the exchanges between rev, bill bowen, and others involved in the silent lambs website, i honestly feel sickened.

i remember when i first started to hear rumblings that "something big" was going down regarding the society's handling of child abuse.

i was overjoyed because i had first-hand knowledge of several atrocities in this regard and was hoping against all odds that a major upset would force them to change their policies.

i just had a visit from my brother-in-law, an elder at bethel.

i mentioned to him about Barbara Anderson and her role at bethel, etc.

his response was predictable.

he simply said, "a sister would NEVER have the responsibility and position she claims to have had."

so with a simple sentence, consisting not even a dozen-and-a-half words he brushed it ALL aside.

making everything moot.

i said, "you know someone mentioned that that is what the society would do, even before they did it. it would be their way of not even having to address anything she has to say." and that is what they did hook-line-and-sinker. kinda' like putting hooks in their jaws.

Why is it so easy to summon the Demons?

by LyinEyes in

i was thinking about this the other day, and really things just don't make sense to me since leaving the borg.

being jw's we are told to fear the demons, they are there just to get us away from god.

don't buy from yard sales, don't watch demonized movies, don't look at porn because demons love that.

Look at Job 42:12 -tell me how is that a blessing? He lost 10 children. 20 kids total? did Job do anything else?

Apparently what we see as a disparity, God/Jehovah sees as an "inconvienence" that only he and/or his designee (Jesus) can rectify

if you had 1 question that you could ask god, what would it be?

nelly1

and the matter of nipples i have it on the utmost authority, from the never ending speculation of Russell,

the stuper of RutherFord, the condescention of Knorr, the hypocrisy of Franz, and the irrespressable,

can't shut <b>"me"</b> up Henscel

"symmetry baby," how would it look if a man had a single tit in the middle of his chest

or none at all, plus where would he hang himself to prove himself a man in those Indian rituals.

The Trinity

by meadow77 in

top reasons the wts is lying about the trinity.

their translation of john 1:1 is not only a complete farce but falls apart upon closer examination of their own beliefs.

the insertion of the phrase a god, instead of god is just a clear misinterpretation.

thewiz

sorry but i haven't got time to read ALL the posts, so i'll address the first one ONLY

Colossians 1:15 - http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?passage=Colossians+1%3A15&NIV_version=yes&NASB_version=yes&_version=yes&NLT_version=yes&KJV_version=yes&ESV_version=yes&CEV_version=yes&NKJV_version=yes&KJ21_version=yes&ASV_version=yes&WE_version=yes&YLT_version=yes&DARBY_version=yes&WYC_version=yes&NIV-UK_version=yes&language=english
How in the world can the "thing" created be just as great as the ONE doing the creating?

Deut. 7:16 - http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?passage=deut+7%3A16&NIV_version=yes&NASB_version=yes&_version=yes&NLT_version=yes&KJV_version=yes&ESV_version=yes&CEV_version=yes&NKJV_version=yes&KJ21_version=yes&ASV_version=yes&WE_version=yes&YLT_version=yes&DARBY_version=yes&WYC_version=yes&NIV-UK_version=yes&language=english

clearly shows that the word, "gods" is used; therefore, even THE GOD acknowledges this term or station, etc. JDubs, however will acknowledge that Jehovah is the ONLY God that deserves WORSHIP.

i don't remember the WTB&TS ever saying that God's Holy Spirit was "inactive", active -yes Also Isa. 52:10 says God has an "arm" -now do you really beive God has an "arm?" A nthropomorphism is VERY common in the bible. it doesn't mean that God ACTUALLY has arms/legs/snow white hair/eyes/mouth/etc. God speaks to us in the bible of a realm we could NEVER hope to imagine or understand in a nthropomorphic terms; ones we CAN hope to understand.

this is taking longer than i expected, so i'll leave off here, not to mention the arguements presented require much more research (outside the WTB&TS lit.)

so then, it appears that you adobt the trinity, simply because the WTB&TS doesn't. that's weak. hate 'em if you want, but don't accept pagan beliefs just to take an opposing stand.
