  Advice needed

  can someone tell me the scriptural basis (according to jw's) for shunning disassociated ones.

  only asking because i don't remember (probably wasn't that interested) i'm sure the shunning in the scriptures was just applied to disfellowshipped.

  i've only been out 3 years but i seem to have forgotten any scriptures or reasoning!

  I guess there a 1949 wt stating that shunning was pagan, would love to see and read it and compare it to today's teachings.

  Aliens exist and YHWH (Jehovah) was one of them.

  "the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning centre around which the known system of the planets revolve even as our suns planet obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.

  it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that is the place to which the inspired writer referred to when he said: "hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 chronicles6:21) ; and that it is the place to which job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "canst thou blind the sweet influences of pleiades, or loose the bands of orion" – job 38:31"

  the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

  Its funny this subject because in some early Sumerian writings they talk about a couple of gods making man and how they we're having problems at first making ones that could not stand and had other problem's almost as if they we're working out the bugs. Could be alien's I guess,. Why not better then this Bible God.

  sitting in the hall i was shocked when i read this article.

  kingdom ministry 2005 nov {after the tsunami and new orleans desaster witnesses sent millions to help brothers in these areas marking their envelopes "for the tsunami victims" etc.

  the society realized since there are few witnesses in tsunami ravaged countries this money would be wasted helping muslims.

  They really are scum of the earth aren't they?!!!!! Also proof they aren't just delusional but con artists. Remember Katrina, no proof the Borg spent one dime to help.

  OKAY, GAME OVER! The number one reason the New Testament amounts to bunk

  by Terry in

  for me, the dead giveaway is this.

  jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".

  jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.

  It could also be said if Jesus was real why didn't he tell people how to stop getting Depthera (not sure how it's spelled) . Anyway by telling his followers not to do their business near water and to boil water before drinking it he could have prevented millions of his followers from dieing and showed he truly was the son of a God.

  It is 5am and I still can't sleep. Contemplating life, doing research on religion, world history, science...

  my husband is still asleep but he will get up in about an hour for work so i'm going to quickly tell you my inconclusive conclusion.

  i don't know if i can believe in god anymore.

  i have come to the simple conclusion that he is either dead or evil but he is definitely not loving.

  I think less then 2% really know ttatt, maybe a few know a little ttatt but still can't put two and two together. Their a really isolated bunch. Think about how little we knew until something pushed us over the edge and we woke up.

  Some good stuff, I'll have to read one of his books. He talks about the Persian religion in detail but I haven't been able to find much info on this religion and what it actually taught other then speculation.

  Matt 5 Jesus says not to shun, and you may also want to point out that baptism is for forgiveness of sins there are no Scriptures that say its a pledge or contract for anything.

  Why is the Bible silent about the real Israel/Egyptian connections?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible does connect egypt and israel (including judah), but does not tell the truth about the connection.. an exhibition at the israel museum tells a clearer story.. it tells of two periods of connection;.

  the first connection around 1800 to 1550 bce when canaanites settled in the eastern section of the nile river delta.

  it seems this is the era that saw the development of stories like the joseph story and the mose's story.

  It seems to me that most of the old testament was written during the Babylonian captivity and after, the book of Ezra almost concurs. There's also a lot of mistakes in the writings to be written during the actual time period. Some of the writings could have been just before like parts of Jeremiah and Isaiah we're it talks about the coming destruction of Damascus but other parts are clearly much later. Look at the example of the story of David and Goliath, Goliath is clearly wearing a Greek set of armour. But the Exodus story is intriguing and so is the story of Solomon, clearly a connection to Egypt. I think the Exodus story was about the hyksos and became a legend. Solomon was a Pharaoh and his temple was built at Tanis.

  Jwmediafilms, older YouTube Chanel but well produced videos, maybe the best for quality. If his stuff doesn't wake someone up nothing will. Fatefulslave is a new one but getting a lot of views, he's basic but good.
