  The ransom sacrifice contradicts the "issue of universal sovereignty"

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if jesus is the exact representation of his heavenly father, and if "god is love", and if there is no greater love than to give up one's own life for others, then if jesus gave up his life for mankind as the greatest act of love ever performed, why would jehovah be more concerned about his own name being vindicated and his rule being proven to be superior to man's rule than preventing untold millions of innocent persons over thousands of years from suffering and dying horribly?.

  wouldn't jehovah be just like his son, jesus, and choose to sacrifice his own name and reputation out of his great love for mankind rather than permit so much suffering for thousands of years?

  why would the almighty creator of the universe care so much about being 'slandered' by a rebellious spirit creature that he would have to permit so much suffering for so long?

  Mago, the jokes on them, they think you will die and never enter paradise but they wont either since it is a Watchtower myth. Do not give in to the pressure. Be happy and love who you want. In life its the one's we love unconditionally who will be there for us on our journey. Everyone else posts on facebook.

  Where there's a body of water or river etc. there is going to be a flood epic. Its not a world wide flood, its a world wide commonality of flood experiences destroying the known world of thier time. Perhaps their immeidate area which is the known world of their time and cultural. Its called a tall tale. Duh.

  i know that what counts as swearing differs alot from region to region, amongst the words i heard used were "crap, bloody, shit, git, bastard, bitch" and the dubs who used these words would say that they didn't belive they were swear words at all!.

  Do You Appreciate The Service Of Our Military?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being raised a jehovah's witness, i did not have any appreciation for the military or for veterans.. now, when i see a military person, especially in uniform, i am grateful for their work as well as the fact that they risk their lives for us.. do you appreciate our men and women of the military?.

  When there was a draft it was a cumpulsory army and heavily out represented by blacks. Since Vietnam it has been a voluntary obligation which is paid. There have been very few who have selflessly gone to serve thier country. The majority I know joined never expecting to fight. It was for a paid education. All the wars since WWII have been a sham and the servicemen haven't been fighting anything but the corporation's proxy wars. What is there to appreciate in the murder of all those Iraqis and Afghanis? Are they serving me or thier industrial military complex masters? They are not fighting for my freedom at this point and havent been for years. I appreciate what the men did in WWII and I applaud them. Men went to the enlistment cernters enmasse. Those men fought for my freedoms that I am sure of. Korea? Guatamala? Vietnam? Bay of Pigs? Granada? Haiti? Desert Storm? Iraq? Afghanistan? Give me a break. Those in the special forces could have handled Afghanistan in a month or less, didnt need all that "service" that Haliburton has been reaping for the last 10 years. Time has shown that the fastest way to get someone to kill someone in your country's name is for corporations to wave the flag and say your freedoms are threatened while holding their hands out for billions.

  Another rumor about changes in Watchtower and Awake

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's only a rumor.

  but we all know that sometimes rumors become a reality.. supposedly the public watchtower and awake magazines will be combined together and the two shall become one.. i wonder if the present 16 page "rags" are becoming an embarrassment.

  they truly are rags of the lowest quality..

  Don't you guys get it? Spiritual counsel for disfellowshipped ones is "don't talk to anyone but us. Come to all the meetings and sit your ass down. Write a letter in a year or so, unless you are related to one of us and just give it about three months." Doesn't that about cover it fellow ex-elders?

  Just think of how many bullets she could have put in him with an AK47! Sounds as if the 38 did the job. Its not about banning guns, its about banning overkill to the extent possible. If it stops just 1 whackjob from killing 20 children I am for it. I say to this lady, well done. I don't know how good a shot she was but it sounds as if he caught plenty of lead.
