  In general, the people on this forum have a poor outlook spiritually speaking.

  Jesus sacrifice and animal sacrifice contradiction

  by trackregister99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans 3:25 says that jesus sacrifice was applied to the past for sins forgives.. then why god request animals sacrifice like "shadow of the good things to come" (hebrews 10:1) if the jesus sacrifice forgive sins to the past.. the animal blood not have none value, because jesus sacrifice was applied to the past.. why sacrificies for forgive of sins was requested by god if romans 3:25 says that jesus forgive the sins to the past?..

  Unless I'm missing the point of the OP :

  If god knew the blood of christ would retrospectively cover all past sins... Why demand animal sacrifices to cover sins he knew would later get covered by the blood of christ? (Bloody good question if you ask me, which nobody did ofc)

  I guess jehovah was just foreshadowing the WT asking the rank and file to pay twice for the publications.

  just when you think you've made friends with a "normal" person

  rode over to the farmer's market with a couple of neighbors, nice women, seem sensible.

  the driver stopped in the middle of a block and stared at the coca-cola truck that was parked there.

  she said, "do you see the round tower?

  I have a perfectly normal rational friend frrom the Caribbean. One day while we were talking he told me that if you find a hag's skin during the night, you have to salt it so it shrinks and she can't get back in it in the morning to "hide".

  Just popped out with it. Perfectly straight face. As serious as you can be.

  You never know what is goin' on in someone's head.

  i've already found several by reading older posts..

  What Was Your First Experience In Exposing Yourself To "Apostasy"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.

  i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.

  i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.

  After being unimpressed by a few youtube apostates who just seemed like woe-is-me complainers (I would love to be able to find the videos I watched to compare how I would react now to how I reacted then... I wonder just how emotionally dishonest my reaction to them was)

  So then I kinda felt like SupaDub, apostate logic crumbled beneath the weight of my faith, and found myself on jwfacts.com.

  My faith did not survive that. Could not.

  Hi

  i've been lurking here for a year or two now (since i stumbled across ttatt and was stumbled by it), i even started an account some while back and asked a couple of questions.. but i never actually stood up and said hi... so hi, my name's jon and i'm a dubaholic.. .

  i was "born in" in the 80s - and grew up on a liquid diet of cheap suits and revelation book pictures (i mean really, group after group just staring at the pictures while not listening, i must have spent more time staring at those pictures than i have any work of art in my life, literally hours at each lurid picture).

  i "left" in my teens, but apparently lacking any kind of actual sense, returned to studying with a childhood friend from the congregation in my twenties (although i was never baptised, my entire small family were dubs, so i saw more witnesses than "worldly people" on a regular basis.. they love bombed my arse for years!)..

  Wow... remember when you were a kid and someone asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up?

  All the other kids would be all like "imma be king" or "imma go to the moon" and I'd stand there collecting sweat as cold as ice in my palms, hoping they didn't get round to asking me... I just had one of those moments (ta for the epic flashback, made me feel like a kid again).

  No life plans in the works, but I'm chipping away at family members (with varying responses) and for the time being my main focus has been reading and learning ttatt... As I said, I'm a Dubaholic.

  Spanks for the welcome peeps. (And yup, first time I went on jwfacts I came across the U.N. stuff, I had trouble believing it was possible.. just seems so stupid. But yeah, I've done a heap of reading in the last year or so, makes my previous attempts at study look halfhearted!)

  'Sup folks.
  
  I've been lurking here for a year or two now (since I stumbled across TTATT and was stumbled by it), I even started an account some while back and asked a couple of questions.
  But I never actually stood up and said hi... So hi, my name's Jon and I'm a Dubaholic.
  
  I was "born in" in the 80s - and grew up on a liquid diet of cheap suits and Revelation book pictures (I mean really, group after group just staring at the pictures while not listening, I must have spent more time staring at those pictures than I have any work of art in my life, literally hours at each lurid picture).

  Over those years away I remained convinced somewhere in the back of my mind that pretty soon I'd be decomposing merrily while my family frolicked with the fluffylovelycuddly apex predators because jehovah had finally remembered to kill me and everyone else. Had I had an accident during those years and needed a blood transfusion I would have refused (secretly hi-fiving myself for getting in while I died - just like dying the day before armageddon = "Haha god, screw you I read the mudachuffin' smallprint!" I mean, "praise your mercy and stuff").
  
  I studied for a few years with my friend and then with a family member, and then stopped studying because I was troubled by the contradiction I discovered in the gospels I was so avidly comparing (Matt says he was speared before he died John says it was after death... Unless they're both true and he got jukked up twice I guess).
  
  Only then did I creep about online, like a teenager looking for porn, reading what "the world" has to say about the bible... Mind = Blown.
  
  Ta guys and girls, I owe you one.

  (Also, love that my picture is some kind of demonic christmas tree... but so happified. Oh, the ironic subtext.)
