  Are Elders experts on the Bible? Are they spirtually qualified men?

  by John Aquila in

  2. beliefs

  how many times have elders read their bible in its entirety?

  these are the leaders that give counsel to married couples, to teenagers, to single girls and single boys on everything from marriage, education, sex, association, dress, and recreation..

  how well do they know their bible?

  When I had some questions I was referred to a brother in another congregation that isn't even an elder. These men are just parrots.

  Women Make Monkeys Of Men

  by Bangalore in

  2. beliefs

  vindication i (book, 1931) pp.156-157.

  the church congregations of christendom are attended chiefly by women, and women have much to do with the policy thereof.

  in many of the church organizations women occupy the pulpit and preach and prophesy.

  I'm getting off subject but wanted to point out that it was these vindication books where Rutherford also called or classed Christians based on how spiritual you are or how much in the world you were. Jonadabs for example were not good enough to get in to heaven. This guy was a real POS, no wonder so many left.

  My wife was calling me an apostate while talking to an elder about what my daughter was going to say during her up coming on stage interview about getting baptised. This was early in my waking up process. They the elders were already spreading rumors while I was still supposedly talking to them in private about a teaching issue. I'm sure they have talked to my family about not talking to me about spiritual things and the rest of the hall must be thinking I'm possessed by demons. I've come to realize it's a defence mechanism, thier delusional and if some one rattles thier delusion then they go into defense mode and kill the person that was a threat even though that death maybe only character assassination.

  He is a private man that still spends a lot of time dealing with the Bible. He wants his privacy, I will say one thing, he is way smarter then anyone at bethel concerning the Bible.

  "Make a list of people you want to meet in the New System!" (New September Watchtower)

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.

  Hope the court hears the case then over turns the lower court. I can see Conti loosing on several points, but this idea that the wbts has some first amendment right and therefore doesn't have to warn people is just evil and can open up a can of worms for all sorts of issues if the cult wins.

  On Bart Ehrman's Blog+John's use of an early 'Signs document'

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the land of judea?

  he then did signs in judea (3:22).

  i think the greek is saying that this healing was jesus second sign, and he did this one after he had come from judea into galilee.

  Terry u need to ask Bart why Jesus why did they pick this name. The gospel writers seamed big on having Jesus accomplish prophecies yet they don't call him Immanuel. So was the Greek word for Jesus used to tie him with another God or what? I know that some Jews worshiped a god known as Helios and the Christians from Alexander were pushing Serapis but I haven't connected the dots of why the name Jesus in Greek?

  Are JW's inflating their numbers?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it can be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes!

  as long as you've had a literature discussion three times, you can start counting it as a study.

  first, they say you can now count only 15 minutes a month.

  The thing is there's probably more then 2 million but they are probably having to survive as if there was only this amount. Most JW's donate very little if anything at all.

  It was pretty traumatic for me learning it was all a fraud and I was only in my 40s. I think and 80 old would probably have a heart attack a die. I do know some 70 year olds that figured it out but it was a slow go for them and maybe easier for them to adjust.

  I read 'Freedom of Mind', and I did not think it very good or helpful at all.
