Cookiemaster hopefully you can take this opportunity to show your mom from the Bible that the blood doctrine is crap. I would think that once she sees this she'll realize the borg almost killed for no good reason and never go back.

Apostasy and Pedophile Scandal are Spreading
by cookiemaster inso here's an interesting thing that happened lately.
if you guys have followed my previous posts, you probably know my mother almost died from severe anemia, decided to take blood transfusions to avoid death and the elders announced the congregation she disassociated.
last week a "brother" came to visit from a congo about 100 kilometers away.

In countries like the USA and a few others where family relationships are more uptight they can keep things quite.. In others parts of the world where family units are very tight like Latin America parts of Europe and Africa people are going to talk to one another. Families are less likely to shrun I believe and information is going to get around.. This is just my opinion but if I'm right that spells bad times for the borg. -

That would be great if someone could get to the bottom of this.. If their not doing it because of the royal commission that would be telling to all.

Peshitta, Aramaic New Testament
by Connie inhas anyone come across this line of research on the new testament?
i stumbled upon it today researching the divine name, and textual criticism of the nt.
it seems that the peshitta is an aramaic translation that has been handed down through the centuries without the controversies of the greek translation.

It's my understanding that the writters of the NT were in fact making Jesus one in the same as the father.. In many of the religions of the time the father God was later userpted by another God or two gods became one in the same. In some religious myths the son God kills the father. Marduk defeats the serpent and becomes God of gods, God of 50 names becomes the creator God as well even though he the son of EA.. Baal Hadad become the supreme God of the Cannanite pantheon taking over for El.. The same can be seen in the Egyptian pantheon.. You also see this in the book of revelations.. In chapter 1 Yahweh is the alpha and omega but by the end of the book at chapter 21 or 22 Jesus is the alpha and omega. -

The jws wrote all the stuff they wrote because they thought that the tribulation started in 1914. But the fact is the book of revelations and many things written in the NT was a repeat of what was written in the old testament. Even the apocalyptic nature of Revelations was a throw back to what was written in some of the minor prophets books like Zechariah i believe.
But thats not all, they idea that ones spirit would be gathered in heaven people would be judged on thier heart conditions and then the survivers would come back to earth is all taken from the Egyptian book if the dead. Jesus battling a dragon and all the symbology with beast and men that are half scorpions is all a throw back to the Babylonian and Sumerian religious writings. In the end the bible is a compulation of religious writings from Persia, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and Greece.

If you read revelations it seems to elude to the idea that the greatcrowd are those gathered during the time of the great tribulation and include those that have died before. Rev chapter 5 i believe tells dead ones to wait until others are gathered then all are standing before the throne in heaven. The 144k are just a group that is part of the great crowd not seperate from it.
Then the book indicates that all these would come back to earth and reign as priests as a holy nation. Lets also be clear that in the original greek in chapter 5 they are not kings and they do not reign over the earth but on it.

You will not find any evidence of gods name in the new testament because there has never been found any text with the name in it. As far as the yhwh its only an assumption or conspiracy that this is how the jews spelled gods name after they returned from Babylon. There is some evidence from places like elphantine egypt that gods name was spelled similiar to yhwh, when quotes were found stating to Yw and his Ashurah. A few other places the spelling of Yh or Yhw has thought to be the spelling of the Hebrew gods name but thats about all your going to find except in early old testament scriptures where the names of El and his different discriptions are used. El-shaddai, Eloyn, etc.
When ones goes out side of the bible one can find more documents that support the name of the Hebrew god, like the writtings found at Ugarit.
