  re: hearing with your ears and not the heart

  by A Paduan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted a thread that plainly refutes the blood prohibition of jwism - yet no one even posted a comment.

  does anyone even read the bible with spiritual ears - or is it a history book of facts to be sifted through for 'a sign' ?

  briefly, the "eating laws" in the old testament are a spiritual teaching on behaviouraside from ancient sources, this is plainly evident in jesus' own wordsit is necessary that we "eat jesus' blood" to have lifeso where do we find his blood now?

  Plmkrzy - some blood info

  in biblical teaching, i.e.

  the spiritual lesson, "eating" is in reference to being like what we eat - earliest man has believed that we are what we eat, and this understanding is in the bible.

  to not eat "swine" is to not be like those who are fed and then go away, whine, and return straight away without having "chewed the cud".

  scriptual proof?

  by A Paduan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there such a thing in the sense that it is spoken of?

  i was thinking of a certain debate i've entered into, scriptual one, and realised that no matter what might be said, hearers of scripture are plainly given to hear it as they will - however it is that i may hear a teaching, another may well not - and it's intended to be that way.

  free will is just that.

  i think that i read somewhere that jws believe that the magi who followed the star were 'evil' .

  is that the case - if so how did they figure that?

  bang

  by A Paduan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted here for sometime as 'bang', and in my outrage at the evil that i have witness come from "witnesses", but now i am calming enough that i do not wish to be 'bang', and i have started an account anew as "a paduan".

  i will post under this name now, hopefully in a calmer manner - i need to heal a bit.

  although i have never met you all, i feel it would be deceitful to not say, so i;m saying, and bang will post no more.. i have no idea if there are rules i have broken, but i think you can't change your username once you establish it, and i just don't want to "bang" anymore.. thepaduan (and i really am a paduan, schooled as such)

  The watchtower

  the watchtower.

  once there was a man who lived in a village where some villagers kept some of the ancient things.

  and he always wondered why these villagers had kept the ancient things, because they didn't appear to use them - besides, he thought less of the villagers because of the way they lived - they simply shouldn't have had them he thought.
