  Dualism in new WT theology?

  by Thoughtless in

  2. beliefs

  i am not the most "deep" wt student, and i am trying to beef up on wt theology so i can reassess my belief system and prove to myself that what i am planning to do is the right thing.

  but what i lack in wt theology knowledge, i make up in some philosophical knowledge.

  wt theology teaches a purely physicalist standpoint, in which our soul is limited to our bodies, no spirit.

  Yeah, I am going to do more research on this. I mean, despite Greco-Roman and Babylonian influences, it just seems inevitable that dualism is a Biblical "truth".

  Religious Hypocrisy Condemned - WT Study Article week of July 8-14, 2013

  oh, the irony!

  the attitude and conduct of true christians stand in sharp contrast with the mere outward show of godly devotion of those whose worship is often no more than a hypocritical ploy.

  some religious leaders have become wealthy by defrauding their flocks, using much of the money thus obtained to acquire expensive homes and automobiles.

  Eh, always knew something was fishy about the old "system" of the GB, especially due to the fact that Russell died with a Pyramid headstone on Oct. 31st. Perhaps that was God giving us a clue, perhaps I was too blind to see it. Honestly, though, I have nothing to say about the moral integrity of the GB today, just the doctrinal integrity of them (which does kind of convert to a type of moral integrity I guess). I am hoping for another "Ray Franz" expose of the society. Or perhaps like a lot of still active JWs, one is too afraid to speak up due to his appointment.

  From what I heard, it is like a "cloud" in which Jehovah puts your essence in his memory, and then just recreates you or something. I heard a brother say it from a platform once, at the time I just bought it, but eh.

  something happened recently, and i thought i would share a few comments.

  first, lets set the stage..... if anyone is familiar with current events in the pacific northwest, you may have heard of the death of a beautiful young lady, whitney heichel, a short while ago.

  in short, whitney was a young sister that was kidnapped and killed by a "congregation" friend.

  Wow. I am actually hit by this a bit. I don't pay attention to experiences anymore though. I have come to know personally that they are BS. Honestly, I don't think there is a much better word to describe a convention than a "circlejerk". Sexually explicit? Yes. But accurate. It's disgusting.

  there are many silly doctines and viewpoints.. one of the strangest ones is the blood doctrine.. why anyone could logically accept this belief is beyond reason..

  Rocky Girl, that has been annoying me for a while as well. That SAME exact concept. One person to celebrate? Too egotistical. Two people? They can handle the lovebombing, we can divide it amongst themselves.

  DATADOG, I have my moments. But yeah, I mean, the fact that I couldn't question the GB really got me questioning the GB...ironically. Teenage rebellion? Maybe. I don't feel really invited to said circlejerks, I could never keep...rhythm. (SORRY FOR THE SMUT SIMON)

  Oubilette, I didn't get the PM. Vidqun, given the environment that the first Century Christians were in, I think dualism is almost impossible to comeby in religions. It is an archetypical teaching, really.
