“...in the name of our Lord Jesus” explanation please?

by Jules Saturn in

i am looking for someone to please clear this up.

there are scriptures like in the 1 corinthians chapter 5 that refer to jesus as “our lord jesus”.

the lord is jehovah, why does that scripture in 1 corinthians refer to the lord as jesus?

Crazyguy

One needs to look at the evolution of the New Testament and the early Christian beliefs. Jesus was a knew promoted god and savor of mankind, the Christ. People promoted him a such and the father god wasn’t that important. Marcion and the Gnostics didn’t even like the god of the Old Testament calling him the dimurge an evil demon.

Then there came Arius and he claimed that Jesus was a created deity. Then they decided that Jesus was one with his father . Later the trinity came to be as the Holy Spirit was then promoted as part of this composite. If one reads the Bible you can see this evolution of jesus in the Bible.

Should private citizens be allowed to video record law enforcement?

by Fisherman in

i saw an article in the news yesterday that laws are going to be passed subjecting the police to being recorded by anyone while performing their duty or enforcing the law and encourages citizens to sue if they interfere.

some law enforcement agents become angry and confiscate recording devices from people recording them while making an arrest, etc.. it does seem that the work that the police and other government agents do is public and not private or confidential so there should be nothing to hide from the cameras.

on the other hand, how can one distinguish being shot by a camera or by a weapon until one is hit?.

Crazyguy

Hell yeah!!!

2017 figures released to bethel families worldwide:.

peak publishers: 8,457,107. total baptized: 284,212 .

regular pioneers: 1,225,279 .

Crazyguy

I still don’t believe their numbers I mean 50 to 60 percent of the kids grow up and leave the cult and they were once counted at the very least publishers yet theit growth year after year not one down year since like 1977. Come one, and add to it all the deaths and dfings, no freaking way.

Do they officially give marking talks without telling the one marked?

by Wakanda in

my pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.

i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.

she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.

Crazyguy

Done , why would they mark you for dating?

I had a friend that was marked for dating lots of girls and then not marrying any of them. I don’t believe he was told because he was present during the meeting. He soon changed congregations.

Bitcoins: A new world without green backs.

by Fisherman in

jw
friends

the us army backs up the green back and saudi's oil must be paid in dollars so that every nation that uses oil must buy money from the us to pay for oil.. is it advantageous to print money or is digital money the upcoming economy?.

also, are bitcoins legal?

i read that market for them is soaring.

Crazyguy

The US dollar is the gold standard currency of the world. If you want to buy oil from any OPEC member nation you have to do it with this currency. The federal reserve bank and others monipulate gold silver and other currencies to keep the US money king. They have gone to war and overthrown governments to keep it King.

Bitcoin will fare no differently, it may do for a while but eventually there will be a monipulated crash. If not then they’ll tie it to the US dollar some way.

Romans 2:21,22 Matthew 23:3 and the hypocrsity of the November 2017 Broadcast!

by stuckinarut2 in

hypocrites!

i know we have spoken of this before, but in light of the appaling november 2017 jwdotorg broadcast, these scriptures just need to be highlighted!.

please re-read them, and tell me if they don't apply to the society !?!.

Crazyguy

I’ll said this before and I’ll say it again, when they introduced the overlapping generation teaching, to those that stayed they knew they could teach or say whatever pile of rubbish they wanted.

Good Works by "worldly people".

by Lost in the fog in

i have friends who are called "worldly people" by jws.

these people are actively involved in feeding the homeless over christmas.

managing thrift shops so they can send financial aid overseas to poorer children.

Crazyguy

I once brought out the scriptures where a man is curing the sick and preforming miracles but he wasn’t an apostle of jesus or one of his disciples. The apostles approached Jesus and told him what this man was doing and asked if they should stop him. He said in a sense if he’s not against me then he’s for me, leave him alone.

The elders I read this too didn’t like these verses very well at all. If Jesus were real and truly the son of god he would not be to fond of the JW cult!

The Creation of Genesis Chapter 2ff

by Doug Mason in

i had long held the piece of the jigsaw puzzle which starts at genesis 2:4b – the yahwist’s creation story.

i knew that its authors had never heard of lamarck’s theory of evolution, nor had they read darwin’s “origin of species”.

the authors were addressing their own immediate culture, so i had to transport my mind to their times.

One thing I found interesting is the Ashurah cult may have gone away a bit before the 1 century but the Greeks had their version and Isis was the same deity in Egypt. The interesting part is when you read about this female deity and then about Jesus , the writers have him taking on some of the same attributes as her.

They also did some of the same things. Ashurah rides a donkey in a much earlier tale. Ashurah is stripped naked , her crown taken , she’s put on trial in a kangaroo court killed hung on a hook then resurrected by her friends three days later, assends back up to heaven because she’s the queen of heaven and of course he does the same and becomes king of heaven. There are I think more similarities between him and her then any other deity he was modeled after.
