Critique of Mar 2014 Awake on Creation by Alan Feuerbacher

by jwfacts in

alan feuerbacher has written a tremendous critique of the march 2014 awake!, which contains a grossly dishonest discussion on creation.

the pdf file can be downloaded from awake_march_2014_creation_critique.pdf.

it highlights watchtower use of poor and contradictory reasoning..

I think the "Mediator" is changing....

by cha ching in

i just looked at the january 2014 wt study magazine, page 16. pgph 16. i think the wt is finally relenting.... jeus was the "mediator" after all!.

16 by the end of christs thousand.

year reign, the messianic kingdom will.

A suggestion for Fading Dubs. STOP SINGING!!!

by DATA-DOG in

whether or not you realize it [ many of you do ], words have power.

think of the power of the human voice.

think of a beautiful song, or a symphony.

Great points...and I did the exact opposite today...does that mean I suffer from some level of Stockholm syndrome? )

I told my teen son before the meeting, he better act like he is paying attention or should expect his dad to not allow him play in a tournament this afternoon (normally, he is slouched down falling asleep). During the songs he barely parts his lips, but today he was the loudest on our row. He had a goffy smile on his face, so I joined him. We both had a good laugh because he knew, I knew, what he was up to. I joined in because, I haven't - made a comment in over a year, been in field service in at least 6 months- gotten to a meeting on time in ages - so we are always having to sit in the 2md school...so the least I could do to keep up appearances for my husband is to sing. I honestly don't even remember what the closing song was about.

I'll have to try lip syncing.

Yes great thread.

I hope it's okay to add the link below to another thread on a similar topic. It contains some other links to more recent WTBTS NGO activities.

“In joining the YMCA as a member a person accepts or endorses the general objectives and principles of the organization. He is not simply paying for something he receives, such as when buying things being sold to the public at a store. (Compare 1 Corinthians 8:10; 10:25.) Nor is his membership merely an entry pass, as when a person buys a theater ticket. Membership means that one has become an integral part of this organization founded with definite religious objectives, including the promotion of interfaith. Hence, for one of Jehovah’s Witnesses to become a member of such a so-called “Christian” association would amount to apostasy. Some individuals have on occasion not become members but have paid a onetime admission fee, viewing this as simply paying for a commercial service available. Even in this regard it is wise to consider whether this course will adversely affect the consciences of others. —1 Cor. 8:11-13.” Watchtower 1979 January 1st.
