Baptism reversal

has anyone ever heard of someone getting their baptism reversed?

ever?.

Yes, I know of a young man who was practicing martial arts secretly while he was studing for baptism. Once it all came out a few months after he got dipped the elders decided to annul the baptism and he has not been dunked again. Not a particularly smart cookie but that was one smart move!

warped logic from the memorial talk

speaker said we should not partake because when jesus arrives he will take the remnat to heaven and the memorial will be no more.

just as we will not partake then (because the memorial will not exist) it is only logical that we will not partake now.

warped logic at its finest!.

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.

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!
