Most of Christianity is a rip off of the older Egyptian beliefs, they invented the idea of a spirit, so I'm thinking holy spirit is one of their gods related to this idea.

Who or What is the Holy Spirit?
by FusionTheism intradition within christianity has long been that any time the phrases holy spirit, holy ghost, or spirit of godare used in the bible (especially in the new testament), it always refers to the mysterious third divine person of the trinity, who is fully god, co-equal to the father and son, yet somehow distinct.. i want to present a simplified alternative view: let the context determine the meaning!.
(one thing to keep in mind is that the meaning of the bible words used for spirit basically is unseen force or invisible presence.).
the holy spirit as the mind and personality of god.

My first post
by thewalker inhi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.
as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.
that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.

if you see any item you like please be in position to take it with you at that time, after you return to your congregation then you will make a donation of cash or check in the congregation contribution box designated for the support of the worldwide work.

The fact that their selling the tools makes it obvious to me that they do not plan on doing much building and if they do it will be small scale and by outside contractors. With a net increase of 20k new members there's no reason to build anytime soon. -

by Cornbread ini've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.

Going along with girlnextdoor there are e two older flood stories the one she listed and that of Atrahasis both written way before the Hebrews wrote their story. The Noah story is almost a complete rip off with only minor changes. Names of the characters and that it was a global flood instead of a more local one. Even the lineage of Adam through to Noah is just a language change. The names are different from the Sumerian kings list but the translation or meaning of each name is the same.
Just about everything in the book of Genesis is a rip off of older Sumerian writings.

"the Kingdom work is expanding at an accelerated pace"
by Londo111 inif recent intel is true, there is only a .23% increase worldwide in 2015. .
notice what is increasing is not the average publisher count, according to the above watchtower quote to spin the bethel downsizing, but the work.
"the little one will become a thousand and the small one a mighty nation.

Someone who has been taking up a seat since birth then gets talked in to baptism isn't an increase to me. -

Can you prove that WT policy of shunning is unscriptual? Will soon be discussing with somebody, give me all your ammo!
by EndofMysteries inwill soon be discussing w/ somebody still in about that.
i want to make sure i am not missing anything good.
so any scriptures, articles whether wt articles or secular about effects of shunning, etc, or your arguments against how wt interprets their scriptures, etc.

Matthew chapter 5 Jesus no to shunning, then the Wt likes to use 1john chapter 2 I think to not talk to anyone that doesn't share the same message etc but if one backs up in the chapter you'll see the message is Christ. You can go on and show in the first chapter of Galatians that one is cursed if not preaching Christ and 1corithians chapter 15 show exactly in detail what the good news of the kingdom is. Christ died was ressurected etc.. So not to shun unless one is denying Christ except Jesus says other wise and says to just treat Unbelievers as men of the nations Matthew 15 I believe. -

Seems odd that the Bible never mentions Pryamids?
by dropoffyourkeylee indoesn't it seem strange that the bible never mentions the pyramids?
how could someone go to egypt at that time and not even so much as mention the huge monuments?

There was only two mass Exodus from Egypt in recorded history out side the Bible. Josephus wrote that 1 St.century bce historian by the name of Manetho wrote that the high priest of Akenaten the king who started monotheism. This high priest rose up maybe after Akenaten died and with the help of the Hykos and his army attacked the Egyptions. He later changed his name to Moses. He and his followers we're expelled from Egypt. Manetho also stated that the Hykos after being expelled from Avaris went to Jerusalem. The Bible story and the Jewish practice of pass over etc could have come from one if not both of these events.
And on another note, The city of Pithom may have been built by bricks and not stone, but not burnt bricks, the Egyptians didn't use burnt bricks.

Just think in one country people go to prison for their WT dogma, little do they know that in another country the WT could care less.
