Does anyone remember Jaffacake (me) ?
by jaffacake ingosh!
this site looks different, but still full of great posts from great people.

Can't find a post I need
by jaffacake in.
there was a post a week or two ago, and someone quoted a watchtower that encouraged avoiding telling people the truth, not by lying, but by diverting them to another subject.
can anyone remember which thread it was on please?

Cities with walls
by jaffacake ini was driving to work today when i heard a thought for the day on bbc radio 4, i think by a jewish rabbi.
i can't remember the point he was making, but something in his story seemed applicable to the jw organisation.
he said jews were about to study the book of numbers, wherin 12 spies were sent out to various cities to assess their strengths.

Harp of God
by jaffacake inhttp://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/harp/harptitle.html
some amazing publications online.. just one example of the spiritual food at the proper time that earned jws appointment by christ as the fds in spring 1919. chapter 9 "our lord's return is very interesting.
this, and studies in the scriptures, also available free online are the teachings that won the organisation its appointment.

If they weren't so worldly, then I might...
by jaffacake inafter a roman catholic childhood, i spent my teenage years becoming a seventh day adventist, being baptised by immersion at about 16 years old.
whatever i now think of their doctrine, i worshipped with lovely people who were truly christians.
if i need to find a congregation, even just to pay a one-off visit, it could be my local adventist hall, you never know.

Love or Hate - which?
by jaffacake ini was brought up not being allowed to use the word hate and i generally followed this pattern with my own kids.
perhaps thats why i find the jw religion repulsive,
are jws the only christian religion that actually teaches pure hatred (in the biblical sense of course)?

Plausible creation to salvation?
by jaffacake inthe genesis of a complex world of persons, by successive stages of emergence from blind primal energy, through the development of stable atomic compounds, self-replicating complex molecules, the development of cells within highly structured organisms, the formation of central nervous systems, culminating in conscious, free and responsible life-forms, seems to be a miracle of elegant design.
its beauty is breathtaking and its final purpose, revealed in christ - the transfiguration of all humanity into god, eventually, would be of absolutely overwhelming value.
(see ephesians 3:11 & 1:5)
