  Jesus' Teachings - Helpful or Harmful?

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  spinning off from another thread, have jesus' teachings been less than universally helpful to mankind?

  how do we measure if a particular philosophy is helpful or harmful?.

  i am going to use the "universal morals" listed here.

  I agree your thread which has a topic heading composed by yourself ,I reiterate intellectual capacity on your part should understand that responding content to this topic(your topic)should be on that subject did I deviate? absolutely not! with respect I would say any deviation from the thread(your thread) was on your part! Why not stick to man's inhumanity to man as a result of YOUR topic perhaps you'd rather not think about it? Sorry to get of thread but I did control my breathing this time lol

  Jgnat I know you must have the intellectual capacity to understand the context of my reference to mans inhumanity to man is jesus'teachings think of the history not to mention contemporary atrocities committed in the name of Jesus.Of course I agree mans inhumanity to man is prevelant because of other causes but that's for another thread

  A lot of you(you'll know who you are)seem to be totally convinced of the authenticity of Jesus teachings there is absolutely no! Proof of it except by multiple hand accounts passed down for 2000yrs by humans who undoubtably were less well informed or educated as you are now and probably all were in positions of power and used the second/third/fourth,hand etc accounts for their own reasons usually to suppress less educated people we have surely come a long long way from that superstitious justification.I would urge you not to insult your intelligence by perpetrating this unnecessary belief system,it is possible to lead a good loving moral life without it and IMO would lead to a better society without it why do I think that? Check the history of conflict and destruction not to mention sorrow,bitterness, and mans inhumanity to man because of it.

  Some vs Many

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is interesting how the watchtower uses these two words.

  for instance, the word some is often used to minimize, and many used to maximize.

  and yet, it is so unspecific that some might be a greater quantity than many, yet the mind doesnt process these words this way.. for instance, if it is a failed prediction or a changed teaching, they might say, some believed... when it fact some means most or all, because this was food at the proper time coming from gods channel through the watchtower.

  in the interests of being fair, i feel i have to point out this facebook page.

  after one minute of reading, i located at least one lie regarding the tyt or young turks presenter cenk.

  they said he was an atheist so i pointed out that this is not correct as he self identifies as an agnostic.

  the wbts teaches a overlapping (generation) will not pass away since 1914 right?.

  what is your personal genealogy.

  (1) my great grand father was born in 1901. he became active with the bible students around 1910. .

  On the button adamah cherry picking the bible has caused the whole sorry mess IMO the JWs being probably the most prolific offenders.On the thread of atheism surely no one can deny that the human brain(that means ALL human beings)has an absolute limit beyond that limit who knows.After that its down to guess work and assumptions hence belief in gods then religions etc. All for usually some. form of control ring any bells anyone?

  welcome goldiver I CONCUR i have shared many similar experiences. my fascination is this; although its probably retorical , why have many like us seen through this deception whereas our families with much the same upbringing, genes etc cannot? perhaps thats why we involve ourselves with sites like this .

  jesus' teachings assumes that what christians perceive to be his teachings are correctly recorded remember jesus wrote not 1 word of the bible i.e. anyone who says [jesus said such and such] should prefix it with the words this or that person says jesus says then you have to believe that these so called holy spirit inspired people got it correct without any personal benefit agenda this all 2000 thousand years ago remember in the last 150 years of so called holy spirit inspired bible students JWs GB not even to mention the intervening 1850 years they have made so many cockups its not even funny lol dont insult your intelligence[to whom it may concern]be true to your own good judgement and live your life according to how you would like to be treated it is definately within your own reasoning no matter what you[or anyone else]thinks are jesus teachings
