I like this, and it is true:

No one has a monopoly on the truth and a healthy discussion about religion needs vagueness -- room to contemplate the wonderment and mystery of the unknowable.

Return to Jehovah Photo

friends

this picture is in the new publication from this year's convention, titled "return to jehovah".

part 1the lost one i will search for.

personally, the animal looks scared of the shepherd.

paradisebeauty

If they really wanted people to return they should stop that stupid rule of shunning ex members!

That rule is not Biblical.

They have that rule because they are afraid ex members will tell current members TTATT and will expose them.

Last sunday study article: you are saved by helping Christ's anointed brothers

by paradisebeauty in

in the last article of march watchtower - study edition they make some affirmations that are totally in contradiction with what the gospel says:.

paragraph 7: .

and what of the reason why people will be judged as either sheep or goats?

In the last article of march watchtower - study edition they make some affirmations that are totally in contradiction with what the gospel says:

paragraph 7:

And what of the reason why people will be judged as either sheep or goats? The outcome hinges on how they have treated the remaining ones of Christ’s spirit-anointed brothers on earth.

So people are not saved by grace, they are not saved because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice! they are saved because of their deeds. More exactly the good deeds they do for the anointed ones.

What??? This teaching sounds so Pharisaic and anti christian! Not even Paul or the other disciples said something like this. How can they say this?

And how come most jw's see nothing wrong with these kind of statements?

paradisebeauty

Really?

Where I live is very rare.

by paradisebeauty in

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/jw-convention-releases-2015/.

stephen lett speaks again in the beginning of the movie ... please smb make him shut up and go hide himself.

can they not see how ridiculous he is?.

paradisebeauty

About the new movie ... they portray how horrible lives live have the ones who marry nonwitnesses.

But the reality is, couples where both are jw's are not much happier.

Real estate buying, why are the GB doing this?

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

watching the documentary going clear, i noticed several parallels with the gb.

one of which was that in recent times they are focusing their efforts on buying property.

i don't understand what the purpose of this is?

paradisebeauty

In case Jesus will not give them the earth in the new world, they want to own as much of the earth as they can in this world.

hey everybody, been here lurking for years now... i tired of all the gb 2.0 shit and need to fade successfullydo we have a guide, i am very tempted to go out with a bang, but i want my wife with me, she aint a strong witness and would happily trust me ... i love her a lot.

status as of now,,, read coc isocf, been through jw facts and am convinced this religion is bs, also a ms now :( damn.

paradisebeauty

Driving Force, why do you think it is better to not give any reason?

I am a woman and have nothing to resign from, but I was thinking to tell the elders that I do not agree with some understanding of the scriptures in the publications.

Would that be so bad?

Christ's Fake Brothers - Tomorrow's WT Study

by The Searcher in

tomorrow's wt study, paragraph 4 says this - "the early bible students understood the expression rendered in the king james version "my brethren" to refer to those who would rule with christ as well as to all of mankind after they are restored to earthly perfection.".

rutherford decided in 1923 to change this teaching, and create an elite group of christians.

for 92 years the men running the wtbts have perpetuated & embellished this false teaching - especially so during the past three years - and hidden the bible truth about christ's brothers from millions of people fearful to question the org - created doctrine!.

paradisebeauty

Thank you for this thread. I have a big problem with this doctrine and understanding of jw's ...

Another aberration I found about this:

*** ws chap. 1 pp. 10-11 par. 16 The Desire for Peace and Security Worldwide ***

16 Just as the ancient nation of Israel was in a covenant relationship with Jehovah God through the mediator Moses, so the nation of spiritual Israel, “the Israel of God,” has a covenant relationship through a mediator. (Galatians 6:16) It is as the apostle Paul wrote to his Christian fellow worker: “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) Was Moses the mediator between Jehovah God and mankind in general? No, he was the mediator between the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the nation of their fleshly descendants. Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members. This spiritual nation is like a little flock of Jehovah’s sheeplike ones.—Romans 9:6; Revelation 7:4.

maybe it is too soon, but i would like to hear the new convention.

i would appreciate it if anyone is willing to share there recording.

thank you, maralee

Sir82, you are so funny ...

and so right!

I was hoping this religion will become a little sounder. No chance!

Tomorrow we have a one day convention in another town.

I will take advantage of the fact that all jw's are out of town and I will attend a meeting at a neoprotestant church.
