  How exactly did Paul keep in touch with his network of churches across the empire...

  by mP in

  the bible presents him as humble with limit means.

  i always wondered how a man with a travelling companion of two like timothy managed to knnow or hear about all his churches.

  how exactly does the troubles of corinth manage to find paul when hes over in judea or maybe somewhere in what we call turkey ?

  I'm pretty sure that Ringo delivered all the messages for Paul, he had plenty of time on his hands.

  If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

  If Zimmerman is not guilty of 2nd degree murder it is because it was self defense. Self defense is not a crime. It is not manslaughter. So if they do not find him guilty of 2nd degree murder he must be found without guilt in all possibilities. It cant be Self Defense towards one charge and not the other. Makes no sense. I think he is not guilty by virtue of surviving the clashing of two idiots in the rain.

  jesus said: .

  verily i say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: but he that shall blaspheme against the holy ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

  (mark 3:28-29).

  Under The Dome

  after watching the first 2 epsoides and looking foward to the rest i was thinking that a dome needs to be put over every kingdom hall on sunday morrning.

  that way we could be rid of a large chunk of them and those who missed the meeting could see that its a false church.

  wishful thinking i know but i can't help it..

  Simon, thank goodness I'm not the only one to see the similarities between the dome series and the Simpson's Movie. So far the Simpson's movie is more engaging. Cows cleaved in half was fun though.

  I cannot subscribe to any man run dogma factory. I have my own religion and it involves the proper use of a Snickers Bar.

  Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.

  bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.

  this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.

  What evidence is there for the miracles of the Bible OUTSIDE of the Bible?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok. this is something i've wondered about.. people of certain religions tend to use their own holy book as evidence for things in itself.

  this seems very circular to me.

  using the book to prove the book in my view is pointless.. i am not aware of any of the 'miracles' of the bible or the quran as having any substantial evidence outside of themselves to give credibility to the books themselves.. has anyone come across such evidence?.

  A new lesson from Caleb's mom...

  by cedars in

  2. beliefs

  ...totally freak out and drop something if your child fails to say "please.".

  http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/please-thank-you/.

  the woman is clearly a nervous wreck, and very easily offended.. if this is her reaction to caleb forgetting his manners, i shudder to think how she will cope if she ever finds him doing drugs.. .

  When a "sister" reacts like that its because she can't handle the pressures of being a Theocratic wife. Dress the kids, throw them in the car, make sure they have thier magazine and books highlighted properly, make dinnner, pioneer, and orally please her elder husband and live with the guilt of that. Of course she will snap at little Caleb, she's a wreck.

  GB not recognized as such till 1944, is this the cutoff for F&DS?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  ok so this is from the w71 12/15 p. 757 a governing body as different from a legal corporation.

  governing body.

  according to the apostolic example of the first century c.e., these dedicated, baptized christians known today as jehovahs witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward.

  Ok so this is from the w71 12/15 p. 757 A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation

  GOVERNING BODY

  According to the apostolic example of the first century C.E., these dedicated, baptized Christians known today as Jehovah’s witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward. This governing body has through the years been associated with the publishers of the Watch Tower magazine and the Board of Directors of the legal religious corporation now known as Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. According to Pennsylvania law, this corporation must hold annual corporation meetings at its registered offices in Pittsburgh, Pa., or elsewhere as duly voted upon, and must elect directors to fill the vacancies of those whose three-year term of office is expiring, and also to transact all necessary obligations. From among the full board of seven directors, all of whom are dedicated, baptized, spirit-anointed Christians, the officers of the Society must be elected.

  Are we to disregard anything taught by the pre-1944 GB as not from the F&DS? Just wondering. Your thoughts?
