  Why is this blind allegiance to the anointed ones?

  by anointed1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even when they know that certain things are not right with the organization the flocks are blindly following their leaders viewing them as the future “kings and priests” (originally a sumerian concept).. greed for a “land of milk and honey” (either in this life or the next) is at the root of their allegiance.

  interestingly, greed is something the flocks are warned against: ‘be on your guard against all kinds of greed which is idolatry.’ (luke 12:15; colossians 3:5).

  @anointed1

  I realized after reading you OP

  that your beef is not with "the Anointed"

  but with "The Governing Body"

  Millions now living will never die

  but pretty much all of them are now dead.

  and so are billions of others.

  so, god doesn't desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance?

  Jesus said that "whoever believes in me will never die at all"

  Paul said, over 2000 years ago that Christ was coming to bring vengeance

  on those persecuting them (2 Thess 1) Those Paul wrote to 2000 years

  ago were looking forward to this relief

  I wonder if they were thinking about this when Nero had them burned

  on crosses toward the end of that century

  I understand that there was new light on these scriptures

  A problem for believers

  a problem for believers!.

  a majority of the world’s population acknowledge that they believe in a superior god or in their creator.

  they also claim that they have got this special understanding and knowledge of his will and his law.

  @the-Question

  "Dawkins was an idiot"

  One: Dawkins is alive

  past tense/present tense, past tense/present tense

  Talk to your Ministry School Overseer, he may be able to help you out

  with this,

  Two: If I call you you a "Poopie Head" that says more about my

  intellect (or lack of it) than it does yours, don't you think?

  Hey Steve,

  Do you think if Skeptis waved and called out to handsome men

  it might get him off cart duty,

  (If he got any interest he could just read them scriptures about gloom and

  destruction)

  Again PROBLEM SOLVED

  Scratchme1010:

  I've always bought into the idea of "credit where credit is due" in regard to

  religion,

  As well, a sense of community is imperative to mental health,
  

  According to my own belief system I do believe that a secular system

  like the Humanists offer a number of advantages, but such groups are

  scarce in comparison

  I will only believe in demons if...

  by deegee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.

  the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .

  but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?

  Did you ever notice that atheists never require an exorcist?
