  wearewatchingyouman So, to whom is that Exodus 22: 18 verse applicable ? Can that be practiced today ? This verse, as I understand talks about common Withces and not about Witches in a certain group. If Catholics/Protestants deliberately misinterpreted the bible, what is the correct interpretation for this verse(atleast). Also, why didnt the WT mention about this verse and said it was misinterpreted.

  The Irony is, the article never quotes Exodus 22: 18 which says” “You must not allow a sorceress to live”

  I am pretty sure all the Witch Killings by Christians, was based on the above verse in the Bible.

  Do you see how the Watchtower deliberately deceptively and dishonestly hides this Bible verse here, throwing all the blame on those catholic and Protestant Inquisitors, as if they did it on their own.

  To a thinking person, there is nothing called a Witch. It’s all simple trickery. The people back then (Including the guy who wrote Exodus), were superstitious enough to think or duped that Witches had evil powers.

  Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?

  i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

  i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

  how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

  I was an Eight year old Kid growing up happily with loving (Protestant Christian) parents in India. Had the Freedom to do anything, what kids are allowed to do. Weekends Especially were of the greatest Joy. Hanging out and playing with neighbouring kids. Never knew of such a CULT or its Doomsday Message at that time.

  Planting seeds of thought with my JW doctor

  2. experiences

  i have hesitated to post anything about my recent encounters with our jw doctor, because i don't really want anyone to insult her or me, for continuing to rely on her for medical care.

  our family doctor is a jehovah's witness.

  we were referred to her by our former bs conductor.

  IF you gradually fade off, not apostizing to anyone, they wont bother you after a few Nudges to return to the CULT. But if you cant resist the urge to tell people TTATT, then you are in danger. Danger in the sense, only if you have loved ones inside the cult, who may shun you. For option one here, you have many reasons to tell. Busy at Work and health Issues being the main.

  Stand for Pure Worship.. H1N1 Virus this year gets evolved into a more sophisticated form next year and it builds its defenses more robustly, that it requires new medicines to eradicate that with the passage of time. How do you explain this evolvement?

  If God created everything, why did he create Tuberculosis germs, Leprosy bacteria, flesh eating germs, poisonous reptiles and all those dangerous species that harm/kill mankind? Anxious to know your answer on this.

  The most Disturbing Story in the Bible

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i posted elsewhere about dr. james tabor's take on the book of revelation as re-write of an earlier non-christian document.

  but in browsing his site i was reminded of an early biblical story in genesis that essentially throws so much jewish and subsequent christian thinking out of the window.. .

  can your mind handle the concept of yahweh standing in front of you, with a human body like yours, eating, drinking.

  For me the most shocking and barbarious story in the Bible is about a man stoned to death for picking up sticks on a Sabbath. Its equivalent to stoning people who do not attend church but work for thier living on Sundays, in this modern era. I cannot ever Forgive Jah(if he really exisits) or the Moses gang (If this was really implemented) nor the christains today who justify this.

  Satan thrown to earth "about" 1914?

  by wearewatchingyouman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i'm thumbing through the new "silver sword" and i notice that in the appendix under "message of the bible" that it says, "about 1914 jesus hurls the serpent satan to the earth...." i can't remeber ever hearing the word "about" and 1914 placed together before in regards to this event.

  are there any jwapologists, or anyone else for that matter, who have an explanation for this?.

  What a loving arrangment by GOD!! Throwing Satan, who is mightier than humans, down to earth, to cause them more pain and suffering, as if the earth had less to suffer.
