  the influence of hellenism on early christianity: dionysus as a pattern for the mythical aspects of jesus..

  the palestine in which the young jesus grew up was strongly influenced by hellenic mythology.

  for some 600 years the jews had been subjects of first the persian empire and then the empires of alexander the great, his hellenic successors (the ptolemies and the xxxx) and eventually the romans.

  I think Jesus was modeled after more then just one dirty. Horus, Mithras, Marduk, zues, etc.

  Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.

  jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.

  they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

  I remember the young jw woman in Oregon that was kidnapped by a jw man and raped and killed. Where was Jehovah? All those people killed in that KH during that cyclone in the Philippines, where was Jehovah? Some guy gets a few bucks while going out in service for gas, Jehovah is great! Its called the god delusion and a lot of people have it.

  WTS Throws Hail Mary Pass with Major Paradigm Shift

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let me begin by stating that i have no insider information, this is merely my observation.

  i believe that some time ago in watchtower land, somebody at hq posed these questions (probably an outside consultant because i don't think the gb is this hip): .

  what would happen if we cut in half the average age of the responsible brothers in the organization?

  They can't get back the feeling that the end is so close because all those people that we're born in 1900 are so old. Their becoming less and less relavent to the rank and file and I think it's becoming easier for people to leave as well.

  Tanzania News Update

  i wanted to share with you some feed back from this region.

  since you could say tanzania and other regions within africa are the last hard to reach places on the earth.

  it is where the www preaching work funds are directed, as being justified to get your donations.there are now no longer any foreigners at the branch within tanzania, they all were told to go.

  I think their done, with any and all preaching and expansion in any country where theres no money to be made. If that country grows on it's own then fine, but they will also have to pay for KHs on their own too. There's no money in mud huts.

  just clicked on the video on demand about joshua's experiences with god.

  senseless?

  how i hate now when someone is killed or punished the "joshua" actor gives a clear and strong cynical grin.

  Or the city of Damascus would be destroyed. Egyptians would speak Hebrew. David's kingdom was never be bought to ruin, etc.

  JWs Don't Really Believe This Scripture...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the bible says this about god at rom 1:20 for his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the worlds creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and godship, so that they are inexcusable.. however, jws don't really believe this scripture to be true.

  whenever something comes out about nature that they don't like they will instead say that it is due to imperfection.

  animals are predatory and will kill to survive, well, that must be imperfection.

  Well Jws will say that animals that eat their own or other animals got that way because of Satan. Of course there's still no such thing as evolution so they say. And they don't realize that nowhere in the Bible is Satan credited for creating anything.

  i used one of those junk file cleanup apps on my phone to clean all the junk and old files etc out of my phone.

  any way now the jw library app that i have to compare their bible with others won't work but my other bible app works fine.

  guess the cleanup app really works and the jw app was just junk after all.

  What was your ''the last straw that broke the camels back'' moment

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.

  if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.

  when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

  I think it was the blood issue for me, finding out they killed so many people for a doctrine they just made up. Then to throw salt in the wounds they allow cows blood as a option. Holyshit their just evil!

  I was just shock at how many people in the hall we're just mentally out of it and didn't even seem to notice what was going on. The meetings really do turn off peoples brains.
