Does the WBTS encourage circumcision?

by Frazzled UBM in

my wife is determined that my son will get circumcised when he is 10 or 11. i tell her that if she wanted him circumcised she should have done it when he was born and that it will be his choice and if he says no i will support him all the way.

one thinkg i am not sure of is whether she is so adamant about this because the wbts requires or encourages it or because it is a cultrual practice int eh philippines (certainly leaving it until 10 or 11 seems to be a filipino thing.

so my question is more directed at the practice of circumcision rather than the age at which it is done..

If your no longer under the law then theres no reason to get snipped.

Why are the moms so attached to religion?

please don't take this the wrong way, i would love it for women to comment on this thread because i just can't understand something!!.

here's the pattern i see:.

mostly guys in here.. if the guys are married, their wives usually stay a jw, or it takes 3 times as much time to convince a woman to leave than a man.. if the guys have a jw father, the father is open-minded and can be more easily persuaded to leave.

This religion is great for women that are insecure and of course men tend to be more critical minded probably because men tend to be more analytical. Woman of course tend to be more submissive and followers and will put up with all sorts of abuse that men would not. All these things plays perfectly into this religion. And the idea that god would give a gift of salvation to us without anything in return, no way thinks a insecure woman or man, there must be more to it. Plays well for men and women that are self loathing. jmo

The Book of Revelation and our Time

by Crazyguy in

i know there are not many peterists out there but for the sake of argument all you bible believers, a question for you.

its looking more and more like the book of revelation was written for john's time and not ours.

the number mentioned 666 is more likely 616 for the emperor caligula who put a statue of himself in the temple at jerusalem, and the first verses in the book and the last chapter all say that these thing will happen quickly.

Crazyguy

I have read that the number 616 is not Nero but infact Caligula or Giace as he was actually named. Probably did not spell those names correct but anyway that Giace had a statue of himself put into the Temple for worship in Jerusalem and thats why John wrote about him as the beast.

JW's will foam at the mouth if you pray to Jesus? Do they try to tell you this prior to the big sting?

by Narcissistic Supply in

it took me 7 years to figure out that jeho's are mortified to sit in the room if you pray to jesus.

i've prayed to jesus my entire life.

i tell my estranged spouse that she can pound sand if she doesn't like me praying to jesus with my two little girls.. i tell her and her mom to pound lots and lots of sand if you think i"m going to stop praying to jesus.

Crazyguy

I started saying Jesus name first the Jehovah and that seemed to drive my wife crazy, she eventually asked what was up. Also later when i quoted the scripture that says that Jehovah calls ones to Jesus, the look on her face was priceless. I think most JW's think God calls ones to himself.

Asking for money...AGAIN

by raymond frantz in

i live in the uk ,a letter was read as local announcements on thursday about the relocation of london bethel and the need to donate (yes they are blatantly asking the flock )..more money .considering the fact the london bethel is located in one of the most expensive areas of london ,the sale of of these buildings will bring in hundrends of millions of pounds in revenue.there is no need asking for more money .as one poster posted here 11 years ago on the same project that nows seems to be going ahead the conservative estimates are that they will get approx 193.5m for the site (inc bittacy hill) and the new greenfield site (whichever) wil cost less that 35m.

whip up the building committes and up it goes foc (materials are estimated @ 9.23m).that was an estimate 11 years ago..so my question is did you had this letter read in your local announcements recently?

i see a pattern emerging also the sale and relocation of bethel houses build in prime land that are worth alot of money to less expensive areas and the generation of million of pounds in income .so not only makinf money off local refurfrfbrisment projects but milking it off bethel homes sale.

Crazyguy

I'll bet future scams will be have the brothers build a building saying its for some need then sell it when it all done to a large corporation that actually contracted the WT to build it to their specks.

Overlapping Generations: A wacky kool-aid thread

by RayPublisher in

another wacky kool aid thread for your reading pleasure from the hardcore dubbs on jw talk dot net is here if you want to read it:.

they wax philosophical, they curse this horrible old world, they gently try to project how soon the big a will come, and then swoon when someone quotes a tidbit from a gb member that they overheard.

warning: those with weak stomachs do not read!.

Crazyguy

This is one of those subjects were the WT will say one thing and then turn right around and say another. Its like the Messiah subject in one publication they come right out and say Jesus is not your messiah then next weeks watchtower they're all talking about jesus as our messiah. It like they're throwing out enough info to keep you in your place but then really not holding fast to it, so you will not finally have that emotional moment one needs to wake up from the brain washing.

Youre so right, the quality of presentations and actual knowledge of the publisher has really gone down over the years, hopefully another nail in the coffin.

Was the New World Bible Translation Committee pressed for time?

by I_love_Jeff in

....when they did not include a translation of the hebrew scriptures in your special kingdom interlinear bible?

perhaps it is easier to manipulate the new testament to fit with their twisted jw teachings?.

.

Crazyguy

Julia got it right, why have a NT Hebrew interlinear when they spend most of their time quoting from OT so they can continue to press the cong that their under the Mosaic law.
