The Watchtower leadership allow Jehovah very little capacity for forgiveness, lots of things you must do which Jehovah cannot let slide. Well, when it suits them of course, when it comes to the mistakes the WT leaders make, well, that is forgiven, we're all imperfect after all!

russell 's asking of hs in this matter was certainly not of the same quality as today's spirit-guided knowledge and understanding of the gb.. what do you make of it?.

I had a funny feeling he was a Witness... and now I need help.
by noontide inim in a bit of a bind and im not quite sure what (if anything) i can do about it.
i was recently hired as a business consultant for a rather large company.
the company that hired me mentioned that they are concerned about a certain department and the way its being run, as this department affects every other department in the company.

You can say you don't think his personality is suited to the role without explaining why, you're a consultant not a psychologist.

Did Any Atheist/Agnostic Revert Back to Their Former Beliefs?
by Space Madness inare their any former atheist/agnostic on here who reverted to christianity or a belief in god.
i became an atheist back in july and it was the most unfulfilling depressive period of my life.
i'm now starting to rebuild my relationship with god and i'm already starting to feel a lot better.

I think Perry took that route. Are you rebuilding your relationship with God through the Watchtower?
I know you were struggling Space Madness so I'm pleased for you and hope you find some peace.

Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?
by booker-t inthis is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.
the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.
the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.

I find it a bit irritating that booker-t turns up on this board every couple of weeks and starts a few new threads (usually against born agains) which he rarely seems to revisit, perhaps doesn't even read.

One of the dumbest - even nastiest - JW Facebook posts I've seen!
by nicolaou inlast month a british teacher was tragically stabbed to death in the classroom.
today a member of my extended jw family posts this; check out his 'liked' comment.. .
where do you even begin .

It's certainly quite strange. Most JWs I know might write something like 'roll on the new system!' Wishing for the final day is a bit different.

If the earth is going to burn up as Born Agains teach would that make Jesus a "false prophet"?
by booker-t inas i have mentioned here for many years there are some things i totally disagree with the wt society on but one thing i do believe they have right is that the earth is going to last forever.
one thing that has always amazed me with born agains that teach the earth is going to burn up is the scripture where jesus says "the meek will inherit the earth".
this is clear and plain and why would jesus outright "lie" about the earth if he knew it was going to burn up?

Dabster, surprised by hope is a good book but belief in a corporeal resurrection is currently a minority position in christian circles, which NT Wright often complains about. Booker-t does like to generalise however, and appears to have no interest in actual discussion.

Some good questions but it's always disappointing to me when people who like to lecture others on believing things without verifiable evidence buy into the Jesus = Horus nonsense.

"Only if you get a court order." wink, wink
by rebel8 inrecently had a discussion with a surgeon who said jw parents "usually" (her word, not mine) privately say they will take blood if the provider gets a court order.. yet another person, with no connection to dubs and no motive to make this up, saying this same thing.
interesting.. i'm surprised the thought police have not come out with an article saying jehoopla reads the hearts and judges as bloodguilty those who are relieved when forced to take blood..

That is interesting... I don't think I've ever met a Witness who thinks that getting a blood transfusion is actually helpful, most are convinced that blood transfusions are not just immoral, but also a poor medical choice.
