Watchtower Sudy 12 July.the Kings of North & South (from 05/20 issue)

by BluesBrother in

it is a challenge next sunday for them .

due to starting the convention programme the wt study will be a 30 minute run through ,and deals with this prophecy ... i doubt the younger ones are familiar with it at all bur oldies could debate it at length .we on the look out for the king of the north to enter "the land of decoration" (more to follow,maybe next week).

this article makes a grand claim in par 2.

I think that the wt is trying to tell us that there are "overlapping" kings of the north and south! Anything is possible wt colored glasses on!

Some notes on early Christianity - its evolution and "sacred text"

by Half banana in

in the scope of this site, it’s not possible to go too deeply into historical research in a single post but we can give the flavour of things formerly hidden from us when we were jws.. like most things, christianity evolved.. it has unseen roots but many visible branches, 40,000 is the often quoted number!

there never was a moment when it arrived fully formed in the middle of the first century.

its roots in folk mysteries were deliberately concealed by fourth and fifth century christian leaders.

Nice post HB! I've had a similar discussion with my pimi wife and other jw's (who won't turn me in as an apostate). My question/thoughts for them was, how can we be sure that all those ancient writings that supposedly make up the Bible are accurate or even true accounts?

Of course, they let it be know that jehober made sure that 'his word' would be preserved accurately throughout the centuries. Okay, so I always ask them, "Why then did jehober preserve his word but allow his name to be buried for centuries? How about all those hundreds of thousands that lived and never knew god's name?"

One of our former CO"s use to tell to the congregation: "The best pillow is a clean conscience!"

I guess he never tried MyPillow!

Food Boxes given out by Society

by JustChillin in

anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?

weird.

i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.

Free??? food?? The wt is getting this free food?? from a government program. The wt is good at freely taking but not so good at freely giving! But it sure beats the hell out of their "free" spiritual food! lol

So they just made one of their staunch supporter into an enemy, sounds good

Galatians 4: 16, 17

16 So, then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth? 17 They are zealous to win you over, but not for a good purpose; they want to alienate you............

Finally a scripture that makes sense!
