What was the mark of Cain in Genesis 4:15? & what the hell was it for?

by cantleave in

i would love to hear the views of believers on this subject.. the mormon cult used to say this was black skin, and was one of the reasons why that cult would appoint black men to the preisthood.

but they weren't the only ones who considered this to be the case.. the interesting thing is this mark offered cain god's ordained protection despite his killing his brother.

why would god afford him protection when murder was punishable by death?

The 'mark of Cain' was the ancient equivalent to the modern English letters "H" and "S". IMHO, I think Cain was the very first member of the Humane Society. He probably became indignant at Abel for slaughtering innocent animals. Did Abel slaughter sheep just for the purpose of sacrifice? They didn't eat flesh at that time, right? So why did Jehovah want blood sacrifices so early in mankind's history? It seems to me that Abel was the first to shed innocent blood mentioned in the Bible. Just saying.

by OneDayillBeFree in

if you look at the first page of the kingdom ministry for december (link here), read the talk entitled: "the theocratic ministry school for 2014".

here is a copy of what it says (bold & red mine).

talk by the school overseer.

The only way to 'update' the "Truth"(tm) is with truthier truth (aka nu lite). Everybody knows that.

I just don't get it.

i know....i'm new to this set up.

apologies for being a dumbo.

Londo hit it right on the head. It's cult behavior plain and simple. DA'ing is essentially the same as DF'ing. The main difference is that one who DA's himself is taking preemptive action and not allowing the WTBTS to exercise the power that they think they have.

24 hour field service marathon ??

by gingerbread in

field service for up to twenty-four hours non-stop.... it's a bit of a fad in our area with pioneers - the twenty somethings especially.

we've heard from other family members and a jw friend that it's a thing in their part of the country as well.. it sounds like a group decides on a day and then piles into a van or suv to 'work' the territory - 12, 18 and even 24 hours.. anyone else hearing of this?.

FS is so futile and worthless. Just another social event for most JW's. Ride around in vehicles making the occasional RV and thn off to the coffee shop for more socializing. Run a few errands in between and hope like heck that no one answers the door so they can spend 2-3 minutes recording the not-at-home. BUT it's sacred service and that's what counts.

Depression amongst JWs

by tornapart in

has anyone seen this post on facebook?

the comments below it are staggering!

so many suffering from depression... along with the few judgementalists.

Cognative dissonance will cause depression. IMHO most JW's that have been around for a while have some degree of cognative dissonance and therefore depression. Nu-lite crammed down their throat will cause depression.

Old Literature being destroyed again!

the society are at it again.

witnesses at a local congregation are getting rid of old literature that predates the early 90's.

you can imagine why.

The GB knows that 95% of what Rutherford and Franz conjured up in the past is total fantasy. They don't reverence and mention those 2 jokers too much any more for obvious reasons. The GB would like nothing more than to have all the old crap burned and forgotten IMHO. The GB 2.0 is following the same pattern with their abundant 'nulite' confusion.

Is Russell currently considered part of the FDS?

by paul from cleveland in

forgive me, i know this must have been discussed many times but i'm still confused about what the current teaching is.

who do they say russell was now?.

eyeuse2badub

Rutherford once admitted: "I made an ass of myself". All in favor say 'aye'.

I just thought of something....

if satan is the #1 apostate, and apostates are not to be talked to, why then did jesus even talk to him?.

why did jesus, if he is supposed to be our example, even talk to him?.

why doesn't the bible say "and satan tried to talk to jesus, and jesus ignored him.

eyeuse2badub

In Job chapter 2, apostate Satan enters into Jehovah's house and the 2 of them have a full blown conversation. Sounds like Jehovah also broke the GB rule on shunning. Hope Jehovah doesn't get df'ed.

New "Generations" WT Study Article in 2014??

by daringhart13 in

i see people mentioning this and have visited the site looking at all posted wt's.......i see no paragraph's discussing 'generations'....does anyone have any direction?.

eyeuse2badub

No worry! the GB will soooooon redefine the word 'overlapping' to mean 'as long as necessary', and the word 'generation' will be re-explained to be a hypothetical term just like 'evil slave' in hypothetical. NULITE!

22nd august 2014..

eyeuse2badub

I'm sure that if possible the GB would love to have all convetions on the same days so the entire program can be piped in from the GB. Mass hypnosis and indoctrination. Just think of the money they could save. But they might not get to travel the world as much.
