  Jesus washing feet in underwear or naked?

  by John_Mann in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  john 13:4,5. got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments.

  and taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist.. after that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel that was wrapped around him.. .

  the wt "translates" himatia as outer garments but some other translations says just clothes.. if he were wearing just an underwear, why wrap a towel around the waist?

  Russian Parliament Approves Military Action in the Crimea

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  why did russian president vladimir putin ask the russian parliament to approve using military forces to keep the peace in the crimea, instead of asking the un?

  why did the russian parliment pass a law approving military force instead of asking for the un to send peace keeping forces to the crimea (http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/01/world/europe/ukraine-politics/index.html?hpt=hp_t1)?.

  is russia spiralling into a totalitarian dictatorship like germany in the 1930's and the soviet union from 1920's - 1990's with information control and coercive tactics?

  Why JW assemblies NEED to change

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw

  the assemblies would be get better results and get more people to come and be inspired if they were more encouraging.

  instead the assemblies are a giant guilt trip.

  don't go to college, don't get a good job, dont buy things even if you can afford them, don't play violent games, don't flirt.

  and the sub purpose of the conv is to give up and coming elders/servants their moment in the sun to give a talk This has the proviso that the talk is first forced through the wt seive so they all sound exactly the same and run to fill the allocated time then stretched if it end sooner. Bad bad practise.

  The programming is bad as well.

  talk talk talk then finally the keynote address. Then another talk ? Then the final prayer which is another summing up? and of prayers: I have often thought there was a competition between the above to see who could put the name jehovah most times into a prayer.

  Do any of you Americans know the name of the Senator who droned on for apx 2 hours before the President Lincoln gave the "Gettysburg address" that took apx 20 minutes and changed the world. You dont ? No one would be surprised.

  Jesus spoke his 'sermon on the mount' apx 20 minutes that gave love to the world.

  Churchill gave his "battle of britain" speech about 15 minutes that inspired the world of free people.

  But summing up, the final prayer. The wts thinks God is a dill that having heard a convention a thousand times he has to have it summed up for him.

  Take note of the basic rules of any public speaking,

  • stand up
  • speak up
  • shut up.

  and peace to you all.

  Jehovahs witnesses dont have the name of GOD right so how can they be his witnesses

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the tetragrammaton ,does not appear anywhere in the christian greek scriptures see the new world kingdom interlinear translation.

  the tetragrammaton translated in english is yhwh ( not jhvh) their is no j in hebrew.. the first edition of the book " aid to bible understanding" admits that the proper pronunciation of gods name is not known.. that they have used the name jehovah because it is the more popular name used in christendoms religions.

  and they say christendoms religions are apostates / anti christs /babylon the great , can they have it both ways ?.
