Simple, yet telling explanation of why the Governing Body view themselves as ultimate. (With their own words)

by MC RubberMallet in

in 1 corinthians 7, paul continuously makes plain that he was speaking his own opinion:.

(1corinthians7:12-16)12 but to the others i say, yes, i, not the lord: if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her; 13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and yet he is agreeable to dwelling with her, let her not leave her husband.

14 for the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would really be unclean, but now they are holy.

these are a couple of comments ive heard recently from some jw friends that have gotten under my skin a little more than usual.... i was talking with a friend of mine and somehow the subject of armageddon came up and how once it starts what youve done youve done.

Anybody else noticed this?

by Godsendconspirator in

1 john 4:8 ~ "...god is love.

" self explanitory.. 1 corinthians 13:4 ~ "...love is not jealous..." so since god is love, that would mean he is not jealous as well, right?....

exodus 34:14 ~ "because jehovah, whose name is jealous, he is a jealous god".

2 different Gods. Old Testament God was a bit of a bastard. Maybe he sold mankind to God 2 (the ransom sacrifice) who loves the world and thought God 1 did not give them a fair go.

Or else it is all a pile of crap!

randy.

Hi Randy,

Many years ago I bought a VHS tape of footage of Rutherford at Beth Sarim and also at Beth Shan while they were building it, putting the roof on the shelter under the 'goat shed'. I will search it out and see if I can have it transferred to an mpeg.

Elders Manual Sale revisited

hi, well the elders book did not make the reserve, close, but no cigar!

i think it was my fault, i should have put the auction on for longer.

evidently, if i had put it on for 10 days i would have had people who saw the auction start but not see it through to completion.

Hi, well the Elders book did not make the reserve, close, but no cigar! I think it was my fault, I should have put the auction on for longer. Evidently, if I had put it on for 10 days I would have had people who saw the auction start but not see it through to completion. There would have also been people who did not see the start of the auction but were present when the auction closed. Together, these people would have overlapped and I would actually had one group who saw all facets of the auction.

I will put the book up again but no one knows the day or hour it will happen. No doubt, some will 'run ahead' and try to guess when it will occur!
