  Was the Biblical Canon Directed by God?

  by Chris Tann in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a question a sincere christian may agonize over after learning that some books of the bible were rejected by certain early christian groups,while other books that did not make the canon were accepted.

  also,when one realizes that so called inspired writers of the greek scriptures quote from apocrypha,that most christians reject today,one wonders if these writings that include these quotes should even be in the bible.. it is true that when it comes to the christian greek scriptures the canon has been closed for many centuries.

  also, these books have been accepted by christians ever since the second,perhaps first,century.

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  [quote]some might assume that a scientifically-minded person would pick evolution and that a religious person would pick creation.

  but not always.. rama singh, professor of biology at canadas mcmaster university, says: the opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and includes a great many people from educated sections of the population.[/quote].

  end-of-quote in awake.

  Hope the victims receive the justice they deserve and more. BUT what I would like to see is long jail terms for the SOB's offenders in the worst prisons in America. Payback on those bastards is what I'd like to see.

  K Newww Lie GGHT!!!

  ‘This generation shall not pass away’.

  The word “generation” has been a stumbling block for many of the faithful and indeed, some not so too. The GB now acknowledges that it was , previously, shooting in the dark - and blanks at that- regarding the interpretation of this word. While it has been unfortunate that the belief in previous guesswork has caused many to die with a forlorn hope, the present 8 million need not fear as J had seen fit to correct our thinking and has brightened our thoughts with new Halogen Bulbs powered by state -of -the –art solar panels..

  The mistaken assumption that led to this erroneous guesswork earlier was in presuming that the word ‘generation “, as understood at the turn of the last century, was used in the grammatical sense of a noun. The research department, after ceaseless roving and countless hours of pouring through numerous documents, are to be commended for discovering that the word, actually, has its usage as a verb in the confounding sentence. The generation that saw 1914 have had children, and those children have theirs, and, no doubt, these will have or had or are having theirs too. So now the generation of generation into further generations continues generating generations generously. Irrefutable, immutable, , incorruptible, and mostly -unstoppable in making it profitable.

  Simply laughable!!

  Don't fight back unless you have the weapons in your head. And don't call yourself a "P****. You are not. You have successfully faded so keep your status quo. Follow what DOC said.

  WHY are Watchtower leaders OBSCURANTIST and how can we fight them effectively?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to read and understand this topic you will need to know two things.. following my telling you these two things you'll need to sit and think about them before you react and respond.. ************.

  1. understand what obscurantists are and what they do and why .. 2. decide if want to be effective in refraiming your identity (the label given to you) as an ex-jehovah's witness in fighting them.

  watchtower society obscurantist leaders.
