Obey the Superior Authorities God says / God says Satan is controlling the Superior Authorities.?

by smiddy in

romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".

matt.

4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

To many contradictions in the Bible to be able to answer the question with any clarity.

Should this Body of elders be considered blood guilty?

by dbq407 in

over the weekend a very nice, caring individual was killed in a car accident after meeting.

she was 32 y/o and has a 3 year old daughter.

her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck.

If the persons involved will risk their lives instead of staying home when the weather is bad it's their own stupidity.

GB bites off more than they can chew!

by biblexaminer in

the gb bit off more than they can chew.

they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.

as a result, they are in damage control mode.

Crazyguy

So do you all think that the Bible will only be available in these other languages via tablet or their app etc.?

Turn the (digital) pages of the Codex Sinaiticus (and say thank you to the British Library).

by fulltimestudent in

jw
friends

many surviving documents are now digitised.

the israeli museum has digitised copies of the qumran scrolls and the british library have provided a web-site where you can have a simulated experience of what you would see as you turned the pages of the codex sinaiticus.. http://www.bl.uk/turning-the-pages/?id=b00f9a37-422c-4542-bfbd-b97bf3ce7d50&type=book.

Cool thanks I'll check it out, one thing I noticed was Isaiah 9:6 is totally different in the Greek Septuagint.

Reference for WT article.

by Lostwun in

awhile back someone posted a pic of the rank/ order of command within the org.

it started with a picture of earth and god sitting on his throne, then the gb body members sitting at there table, then the elders underneath them and then the r&f and so forth.. no mention of jesus in that photo.

could someone familiar with the article that it came out of provide me with the reference please?.

Crazyguy

I remember that pic and saved it to my computer, can't remember the date though. I think most witnesses would just say the man on the throne is Jesus not Jehovah to over come the issue.

Two interesting places in the Bible, Bethel and Megiddo.

by Crazyguy in

first if one looks into the place bethel this is where the king of israel sets up golden calves and tells his people here is your god's go here and to dan to worship.

he didn't want his people going all the way down to jerusalem.

he also made his own priests again to take worship away from jerusalem and it's priests the levites.

First if one looks into the place Bethel this is where the king of Israel sets up golden calves and tells his people here is your God's go here and to Dan to worship. He didn't want his People going all the way down to Jerusalem. He also made his own priests again to take worship away from Jerusalem and it's priests the levites. The other area is the place called Megiddo also know for the famous place called Armageddon. What's interesting about this place is I can find no evidence of an Israelite or Jewish army ever winning a battle at Megiddo. Josiah supposedly went their and was killed battling the Egyptian king Neco.

So I guess my point to this is we used to all worship in a organization that's head quarters is named Bethel after a place the Bible claims was a place of false worship. And this great war at Armageddon that is to be fought is mentioning a place that the great god of the Jews never won at. Yet the Egyptian God was victorious on several occasions. Interesting.

By the Rivers of Babylon Exhibit of Yahudu Tablets

by kepler in

has anyone noticed, commented or reported on the exhibit that opened in jerusalem: the yahudu tablets from babylon chronicling the daily life of judean exiles in babylon.

about 100 of them translated.

part of the private david sofer collection.. the announcements indicate that the earliest of the set dates to 572 bc and that they show how exile wasn't so bad.

Crazyguy

Interesting I'll check them out, there's another set of tablets found that we're of recordings of transaction etc by a banking family, these show Jerusalem wasn't destroyed in 607 and yes Babylon survived for many centuries after it's fall in 539. Its also note worthy that Cyrus took the city with out a fight unlike what's portrayed by the Borg.

Why I think the J.W. Religion will be around for a long time yet.

by smiddy in

on the one hand , if their is a disaster , a natural occurrence such as an earthquake , tsunami , tornadoes etc, the witness armageddon barometer kicks in .many fence sitters , relatives etc.

flock to the nearest k.h.

for a time.. on the other hand ,.

Crazyguy

There are a lot of ones leaving now, people fed up with the do more your never good enough mentality. People sick of being with mates that don't treat them right etc. So the numbers of those leaving are ever increasing I believe.. But it's also a social network that most in rely on. It is also important that most still don't go out side the box to get information so their slaves to what the Borg says and teaches. It will be a slow decline.

Evolution and Atheism - please help

by Fernando in

not being familiar with either, my question is:.

what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.

i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..

Crazyguy

Once I realised that the two pairs of chromosomes less that we have from apes got that way because they we're fused together by a mutation not design, the next step ones atheism.

Talk on "Reaching Out"-Only What BOE Thinks Matters

by Simon Templar in

for the “living as christians” section of the workbook, “are you reaching out?” talk (15 min), the bethelite gave this talk at the meeting.

he totally departed from the subject matter which is the watchtower of september 15, 2014, pages 3-6. he was so far off the reservation, it wasn't funny.

here are a few highlights of what was said: 1) if any brother asked why they haven’t been appointed, and wants to know if there is a problem or condition that exists, that brother is too “presumptuous” and therefore, can’t be used.
