  for a year now, i have been handling the accounts.

  we have 6 elders and 7 ms, and none of them ( i am not serving), want to do the accounts, so they asked me to do it.

  here is what i have noticed.. 4 elderly sisters cover the whole congregation in donations monthly!

  David Splane does not bow head when giving a prayer!

  by VM44 in

  this is a report in spanish conerning david splane giving a prayer at a convention.. perhaps someone can translate it better, but google translate gave the following:.

  during prayer, should no longer be necessary to bow his head in a mass meeting, as was splane throughout the prayer, head up, down, left and right looking at all tiers, not hiding in the least.. so splane is looking all around at the sudience while giving a prayer?!!!.

  can someone confirm that is what the spanish text says?.

  Don't hug your wife or hold hands during prayer. Never thought that was quite logical. Sounded like a single jealous bethel writer had that idea.

  What other ancient Greek Manuscripts contained the divine name?

  by yaddayadda in

  the society in appendix 1a of their 'kingdom interlinear translation of the christian greek scriptures' refers to nine other greek manuscripts as containing the divine name, and they quote from jerome as referring to certain 'greek volumes' containing the tetragrammaton.

  can anyone shed any light on what these greek manuscripts and volumes are and their dates of writing?

  here is what the society says in full: .

  That's how I see it DD. I thought it was the oldest copies and removed by the Catholics or scribes.

  Agreed. It explains why some have to ignore so much of the OT.

  greetings.. allow me to set the questions up.. after 30 years in the truth (i'm now late 40's) and having established the truth about the truth i consider myself agnostic going on atheist.. i struggle to believe there is a god when i observe life yet i try to convince myself there must be something out there.. here's the basis of my question: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23583116 .

  in summary, 2 young boys have been killed by a snake that escaped from a pet store in canada.

  it made it's way up through the ventilation into the apartment they were staying in.

  Tec - it's impossible to have a real debate with you. Or rather its impossible to win in the debate. Because you just say that the particular bible verse is wrong or not true. When Jesus speaks to you, and we can't hear what he is telling you, well you get the point. Lets just say that if I was going to be religious it would have to be your sort of it I think. Because the stuff in the bible is just outright contradictory and horrible.

  But, I prefer to at this point remain adverse to religion. If god exists and he is loving then I hope he would value a life lived to the full and a person who tried to be good. I just can't believe though personally. Science disproves to much.

  How do we know Satan was evil?

  by truthhurts13 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i believe a good judge would have to hear both sides of the story before making a final judgment.

  however, i don't ever recall hearing satan's side of the story in the bible.

  i remember only 3rd party hearsay evidence (which is not evidence).

  I agree with you. Which is why I can't see there being a god. The bible portrays him to be pretty vile. Then we see evidence every day that he doesn't exist. If he does exist then I don't think I'm comfortable with his decion making.

  jehovahtm is so benevolent and wonderfully merciful.

  so much so he kills children without so much as a by your leave.. .

  jehovahtm is surely the greater child abuser.

  Hey! I don't believe those parts of the bible. You must look to HIM who HE sent. The WORD is the real TRUTH.
