  Resurrection Shuffle.

  by Englishman in

  back in the late 60's and early 70's, the brooklyn boyos surprised everyone with some new light on the resurrection.

  basically, almost everyone who was dead would be resurrected after armageddon.

  non-dubbies, bad people, prophets, goodie-goodies, they're all for a resurrecting!

  Satanus is clearly correct. Even Paul himself said at 1 Corinthians 9:7: "I pummel my body...."

  truth is not that which can be demonstrated by the aid of logic.

  if orange-trees are hardy and rich in fruit in this bit of soil and not that, then this bit of soil is what is truth for orange-trees.

  if a particular religion, or culture, or scale of values, if one form of activity rather than another, brings self-fulfillment to a man, releases the prince asleep within him unknown to himself, then that scale of values, that culture, that form of activity, constitute his truth.

  When will non-annointed men serve on the Governing Body?

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society has many doctrines and practices which are plainly wrong.

  nonetheless, little dogma is, from an organizational standpoint, in serious need of change -- except one.

  for the society to continue any form of credibility with it's followers it will have to change it's understanding of who can lead the organization, in other words, who can become members of the governing body.

  As was mentioned, many on the GB are "replacements" (being born after 1935 or very close to 1935). If GB seats continue to be filled by "replacements", this would be a plausible solution to the masses and could continue for quite some time if not indefinitely.

  "i'll be honest about it.

  it is not atheists who get stuck in my craw, but agnostics.

  doubt is useful for a while.
