Our 'Mediator'?
by MidwichCuckoo inthis has probably been touched on before - but something that's on my mind.
have i got this correct...?
jesus said, 'no one comes to the father except through me' - and jws always pray to god through jesus.

Our Paradise Lost
by MidwichCuckoo indon't know if i'm posting this on correct forum, but has anyone else received an email enititled 'watchtower!
' - i have zero idea how they obtained my email address, as i've only subscribed to ex-jw sites (even then, my email address would only be available to admin?
)- this and one other - (and this appears to be pro, indeed casting aspersions on 'conference call')?.

Children - Just a thought
by MidwichCuckoo inwas it 1938 when faithful jws were first instructed recommended not to have children?
...mark the words of jesus, which definitely seem to discourage the bearing of children immediately before or during armageddon....it would therefore appear that there is no reasonable or scriptural injunction to bring children into the world immediately before armageddon, where we now are.
" (watchtower, nov. 1, 1938, p. 324) the wt was relatively in its early days (compared to mainstream religion), and had already gone through a lot of change.

Nephilim - 1914 - And a Question.
by MidwichCuckoo in.
i was always led to believe that the flood occurred to rid the earth of, not only the wicked people, but also the nephilim (i wonder if noah ever preached to them......and what if just one of them became a dub...sorry, off on a tangent).. clearly god created angels with the ability to take on human form and procreate......fast forward to 1914. prior to 1914, satan and his angels had free passage between the heavens and earth.
in 1914, christ took his (invisible)throne in heaven and cast out satan and his followers (hence the disruption on earth - wwi), and satan is now doing as much damage as possible on earth where he is resident.. it is reasonable to conclude (couldn't resist, under_believer) that god did not take away the ability for angels to do this (unless i missed it in the bible), so why then are we not seeing a new breed of nephilim?

All This Baptism Talk.......
by MidwichCuckoo insorry - i know there's been a few postings on it lately.
i personally was shocked to read of baptisms at such tender ages, and when i mentioned this to a jw, they maintained i was talking rubbish......... anyway.
we've already discussed annulment (a brilliant idea as it has to be null and void due to there being no valid contract with minors (unless in case of necessity), duress and undue influence etc), and they do treat it as a contract as there are penalties if the baptised person breaches it.. so - if a 7 - 16 year old (whose parent(s) were not dubs) wanted to get baptised, i think they'd have a bit of an obstacle.
