Beards and Circumcision: turning their argument around

by neat blue dog in

one argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.

'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!

shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?

Crazyguy

The whole thing is a joke!! I mean think about it, yes other cultures got circumcisied for possible health issues and maybe religion ie the Egyptians but who the hell else would care? And who goes around looking?

This is a Greek thing, I’m mean think about it the Greeks were all into nudity. The wrestled in the nude, played the Olympic Games in the nude and were so absences with the penis that big ones were thought of as animalistic, that’s why thier art pictures or sculptures always depicted the male with a small penis.

This is just more proof that the Bible was a Greek concoction.

The WTS thinks Jesus was a liar or an incompetent fool?

by TTWSYF in

the whole idea of a great apostasy means that jesus was lying [or he was a crazy fool] when he said that he would be with his church until the end of the age.

matt 28- 18then jesus came to them and said, “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19therefore go and make disciples of allnations, baptizing them in the name of the father,and of the son, and of the holy spirit, 20and teaching them to obey all that i have commanded you.

Crazyguy

Well who said there would be a great apostasy, Paul? Well Paul said and taught a whole bunch of things that didn’t agree with what jesus supposedly said. The Bible is just a evolution of ideas that contradict older ideas already written. Just look at the gospels.

Fred Franz Former Training in Ancient Greek

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

has anyone been able to verify that fred franz received the minimal training in ancient greek that he claimed gave him the expertise to translate the bible?

you would think that would be fairly easy to verify or disprove in this day and age.

what college did he attend?

Crazyguy

I think Franz only took a semester of Greek , he didn’t know much. In the end almost everything he taught came from another sect of Christianity. The world coming to an end in 1975 as an example was originally taught by Armstrong leader of the WWCoG

WT gives up on making disciples! No joke!

by nowwhat? in

yep, taps out, throws in the towel, waves the white flag!

in today's watchtower it basically said don't expect any results due to widespread apathy and opposition.

but you can still bear fruit just by going through the motions of being regular in field service.

Crazyguy

The elder at my JC ask me about going out in service I told them it’s a waste of time . They pretty much agreed but One of them said that going out was a benefit to the ones in the congregation. They knew recruiting people wasn’t happening anymore.

Child sacrifice and Jesus' sacrifice

by Whynot in

jeremiah 7:31 says, "they have built the high places of toʹpheth, which is in the valley of the son of hinʹnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, something that i had not commanded and that had never even come into my heart.’".

according to this scripture it's unthinkable for jehovah to be pleased with child sacrifices.

but yet he sent his son to be killed as a sacrifice for all?.

Crazyguy

It is a complete contradiction and jesus was a new god to replace any old gods. They the inventors of jesus probably never read that scripture. Many scriptures in the New Testament are a direct contradiction to the Old Testament. Marcion didn’t like the old gods at all and said there was no way the Old Testament god could be the father of jesus. The New Testament in my opinion evolved over time and reflected some of these ideas.

by Ray Frankz in

jw

so this years convention was all about:.

1) neutrality means not taking sides.

jws must not have any opinions about politics, even if it affects you or your job or your social class directly.. also .

I just love number 5!

Venezuela oil worker video assembly

by Steel in

for anyone who didn't have the pleasure of attending the assembly , they has a video of a venezuelan man who with 20 years experience was asked to sign a card stating he was a member of a political party to keep his job.

he choose to become a day labour with three kids to feed.. i work in a union shop with a few jws and we had to join the union to remain employed.

i have never been to a meeting.

Crazyguy

Sounds like more propaganda lies by WT!
