A stunning piece of LOGIC from the Apostle Paul

by nicolaou in

1st corinthians 15 12-17. but if it is preached that christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even christ has been raised.

and if christ has not been raised, your faith is futile... .

There's just to many problems with the New Testament to take any of it seriously. I mean really all the people that believe in the Bible never really studied it or read it with a critical view. I mean go ask any pioneer or elder or CO about the two different stories of christs death and resurrection and they won't have a clue what your talking about. Ask them about the different stories again about his birth and child hood and again they won't have a clue that the gospels are different in the details.

Another word for faith should be ignorance because one you have knowledge you loose your faith!

CO visits me today

by Chook in

i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.

so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).

so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.

Chook will be DFD!

tomorrowsworld.org - is this what the watchower is becoming?

by nowwhat? in

namely an e-religion with minimal congregations?

notice the very similar subject matters.

Crazyguy

Berrygerry, it was Armstrong that originally came up with the idea of 1975 the jws copied him. I also notice on the original website to this thread it looks like they too are on Roku .

How much hallucinogenic drugs played a part in the creation of the Bible? How much did dmt play in to thier concept of knowledge since one of the trees in the garden of eden was a tree of knowledge? Jacobs ladder and other stories in the Bible did they come about when someone was on DMT?

Hemosep - blood recycling system

by TheWonderofYou in

hemosep – blood recycling system.

a blood recycling system, the hemosep cell savage, was developped at brightwake ltd. it is praised as costsaving and lifesaving device for jw who undertake major surgery.

one of the company's trading arms advancis surgical markets the device.

Crazyguy

Isn't there a scripture that says that blood is to be poured out and wasn't it not to long ago jws were not to use any medical device that stored or recovered blood because of this scripture? Is this not more hypocrisy?

So it was claimed that the resolution issued by the meeting at Jerusalem was issued by the Holy Spirit (Acts 15), yet................

by deegee in

according to acts 15, the meeting at jerusalem boldly declared that god's holy spirit issued a formal resolution counselling christians to "abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood, and from things strangled, and from formication", yet in 1 corinthians chapters 8 &10 paul set the holy spirit-issued resolution of the jerusalem meeting regarding the eating of meat sacrificed to idols aside:.

"concerning the eating of food offered to idols … some, because of their former association with the idol, eat food as something sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

but food will not bring us nearer to god; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor better off if we eat.

Crazyguy

Who's to say the book of acts was written before the book of Corinthians. It's like dealing with the proclamations made at the Nicea in 325 called the nicean creed. Why did the bishops even have to deal with the issues about christs divinity , for the book of John told them or maybe it's because the book of John hadn't been written yet.

My Ex Wife Admitted She Doesnt Believe It's The Truth

by pale.emperor in

my ex-wife actually opened up to me today over the phone.

she was quite anxious and, i could sense, i little upset.

for those that dont know my situation im separated from my wife.

Crazyguy

Sounds like if you weren't found out and exposed you and the wife could of maybe just faded and moved away from her parents all would be fine. Unfortunately nothing ever goes smoothly when your waking up in a cult, to much emotion.

WTS Rich or Hurting for $$$

by Zeds Dead in

seen a few discussions asking if the wts are hurting for $$ or still sitting on a mountain of gold.. regardless of their child abuse legal fees and ongoing broadcasting for more dough, i believe they have piles and piles of cash.. talked with a diff'd accountant who sat in the accounting dept.

at the conventions for years.. a football stadium (or the like) costs them about $70 - 90,000 to rent for a 3 day dub show.

they take in $400,000 in donations from the r&f.

Crazyguy

They sold off many of thier buildings in New York so no thier not hurting anymore. They have also downsized costs. Now it's about long term survival for them. You can tell someone is running the show that's not the GB. I think thier biggest concern is falling membership. Most countries don't have the money to give and the US members are becoming poorer and poorer.

The number of US members that are of Latin decent and probably illegals are becoming the major population of jws in the coming years. So in the end it's about falling numbers of members that's driving thier decisions. I bet they have less then 4 million adult baptized members that are actually in a position to give money if they wish. 4 million and falling!
