Need help on the subject of "Intolerance"

by EdenOne in

i would like to locate some information within the publications with comments from the wts that could help me build a case.. case in point is: can an individual jw hold different views on doctrine from those held by the "organization" and still continue to be a jw if he chooses to, and if he keeps his opinions only to himself?.

i remember a recent magazine making comments regarding the intolerance of other religions who limit the freedom of their members to study the bible....or another one (publishers book?

) about those who harbored doubts about the course of events within the organization but remained inside.. i got an excellent quote from rutherford in the booklet "intolerance" but that was from 1936 already.

Hey.

I need your help if possible. I would like to locate some information within the publications with comments from the WTS that could help me build a case.

Case in point is: Can an individual JW hold different views on doctrine from those held by the "Organization" and still continue to be a JW if he chooses to, and if he keeps his opinions only to himself?

I remember a recent magazine making comments regarding the intolerance of other religions who limit the freedom of their members to study the Bible....or another one (Publishers book?) about those who harbored doubts about the course of events within the organization but remained inside.

I got an excellent quote from Rutherford in the booklet "Intolerance" but that was from 1936 already. Is there anything I could use that's more recent?

Thank you in advance for any help.

by maccauk11 in

"then there will be a great tribulation, not seen since the beginning of time nor will everoccure again.

im saying,christ was talking about the comingdestruction of jerusalem in the 1st century and not the end of the world but the end of the jewish system of things.

there is no end of the world.

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to let you know that I've published a new article on the website of the Christian Fraternity of God's People, www.cfjp.weebly.com

The article is called: "Rejoice In The Hope! - The Unifying Hope For All Christians"

It's divided into several sections:

1. "In the beginning..."
2. Created "in God's image"
3. Sin and death "enter the world"
4. God held fast to his purpose towards mankind
5. Jesus came to reveal God's purpose
6. the "sons of God" have a celestial hope
7. The death caused by Adam is the absence from God
8. "Flesh and blood cannot inherit God's Kingdom"
9. Christian "one hope" versus "another sort of good news"
10. Declared righteous by faith for a heavenly reward
11. Baptism and the salvation of the "children of God"
12. The role of works in the salvation of the sons of God
13. The "other sheep", the "144.000" and the "great crowd"
14. God's purpose for Earth and what is "paradise"
15. Our knowledge is still partial
16. "Rejoice in the hope"

I hope you enjoy reading it. I wrote it for someone especially dear to me, as a testament of my own hope, but I thought that others could benefit from it as well. As usual, your comments are welcome.

One can only understand the statement: "For all the wild animals and for all the birds, I have provided grass and leafy plants for food." - In the sense that herbivores and invertebrates are usually found at the bottom of the food chain, thus making vegetation the basis for the vast majority of the observable wildlife.
