  Jesus washing feet in underwear or naked?

  by John_Mann in

  2. bible

  john 13:4,5. got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments.

  and taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist.. after that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel that was wrapped around him.. .

  the wt "translates" himatia as outer garments but some other translations says just clothes.. if he were wearing just an underwear, why wrap a towel around the waist?

  The religion is so god damned depressing yet they are constantly told how happy they should be. This makes them think something is wrong with them. I too have seen them try all sorts of kooky things in an attempt to "fix" themselves.

  The best one I heard was getting a diagnosis over the phone while the "doctor" used a surrogate person where he was.

  Is the Governing Body trolling us?

  2. friends

  i'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.

  the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.

  calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.

  I would say they're trolls but I think it's more accurate to say it's a dying cult that'll do or say anything to keep the wheels turning.

  Special Assembly Day - tepid applause

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just got back from a recent sad.. after most talks, the applause was, at most, tepid.. it was striking in its tepidity, if that is possible (and if that is a word).. affter most talks, applause lasted literally no more than 5 seconds.

  its volume was scarcely above a whisper.. it wasn't acoustics - the bethel speaker was technically a polished speaker (although presenting the same old boring info), and his talks generated noticeably louder applause.

  but even still - that applause was maybe 10 seconds, and about normal-conversation level.. but local speakers - the applause was not much more loud than the hum coming from your refrigerator.. there were 1300+ people there.. it was just so weird - my previous large-group experience was at the agm, where people were nearly apoplectic & drooling with delight over their new "silver bibles" (which very few have read, i'd wager).. these guys were just "zombified".. speaking of bibles - bethel dude called it a "platinum bible".

  i recently became aware of the new light.

  please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't this new light concerning 1914 means that the wt have been preaching the wrong doctrine for decades?

  Let me ask you this, Billy: What difference does it make now?

  I think I read that you are no longer a witness. Are still trying to adhere to the belief that that 1914 was a pivitol year in human history? Why and to what end? It has been a 100 years now. Do you believe in the current WT generation definition?

  Jehovah is the correct uttering of God's name

  by mistified in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard my witness friend that if the name jehovah is the incorrect pronounciation from the hebrew scriptures, then jeremiah is the incorrect way to say jeremiah's name.

  i wonder if this is true, because if it is, that would make jws the true religion.

  right?.
