Pretend to honour principles, but make laws instead!
by doubtfull1799 in

this from the latest watchtower question from readers:.

"how a christian chooses to protect him- self, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.

that said, bible principles reflect god’s wisdom and his love for us.

Their at that bullshit again. I remember when I was a teanager this was all the rage being preached back then too. It was the line of thinking of putting your trust in Jehovah and he will protect you. Well in the next hall over a brother and sister had her sister over and she the girl spent the night on the couch. She was in her late teens or early twenties. Well that night a man broke into the house and beat the girl almost to death. The brother sleeping near by woke up and chased the guy down the street for awhile but since he was naked and not catching up to him he stopped and went back home not realizing how bad the girl was.
I think she survived but had brain damage etc.... so much for putting your trust in Jehovah to protect you.

"Forced" study with an Elder - The first question i will pose, help appreciated.

hello folks.

as some of you might know my dad couldnt keep quiet about my view of the world, so i have been "forced" to study with an elder.

otherwise i would be dragged to questioning, which is to much pressure for a young inexperienced person like me.

Ask him why his bible says at Revelations 5:9-10 that they will rule as kings on the earth, when in the original Greek it says they will reign as priests on the earth? No actual Greek scriptures says that any Christians will be kings not one in any book?
Tell him that the oldest bible in Greek ever found the codex sicanicus doesn't have jesus assending to heaven in the book of Mark, thought to be the first gospel. This bible also has two more books in the New Testament. So ask why wants up with that and why was it that man was able to change the Bible so much if it was from god?

So it was discovered in 2007 that there's a bacteria that's now eating plastic. Of course many years ago they found a bacteria that eats nylon. Also not to long again they discovered a fungi I believe that eats styrofoam.
But here's the thing they have also discovered recently another fungi in the Chernobyl area that's eating a radioactive substance. So maybe a mushroom type fungi will save us from our stupidity when it comes to nuclear power plants. Again thank the gods for evolution!!!

Spiritual food from the org on the same level as the Bible?
by CitizenofEarth in

hello to you all again.. i just told my father:"be carefull that you do not put the so called spiritual food at the same level, or on the same pedestal, as the bible.

it is clear to me that they are not.

" to me, at the moment, this is self evident.
Crazyguy

They clearly state they are neither inspired or infallible. The Bible claims it's inspired so they are not on the same level. I would show this to your father and tell him to be careful for the Bible says to watch out and check the inspired expression to make sure it's correct and inline with the Bible. Then if you want to push a little more you could say that the religious leaders of the JWs have been wrong plenty of times in the past

"that thing we've just called on", the sister said in response.

I would of trashed her by reminding her that Jesus said not to judge not to exalt ourselves and mankind is not perfect.

Gods would curse you and do crazy thing to you. You would receive plagues, your wives would be raped your kids eaten by your wife. You and your family sold off into slavery and about everything else only a detestable person could think of. Oh what a wonderful loving God!!!
