Just learned. Genesi 1 doesn't actually depict the creation of the planet Earth

friends

the ancient hebrews, and their yahweh included i suppose (can i say that here?

or do you'll prefer jehovah?

), didn't even know of the earth.

wizzstick

But according to 2 Tim: 3:16 "All scripture is inspired".

If there are problems with the Bible then it's not inspired.

Simple.

TTATT in a Can... finally finished!!

by ILoveTTATT in

jw
friends

ok so... how to condense all the flip-flops and doctrinal changes, and show graphically how the different doctrines changed, and when?.

ttatt in a can!!.

enjoy ;).

wizzstick

Well done, some great work here.

Noticed a few mistakes - is there time to make changes?

Generations:

Wasn't sure what was meant by the 36.5/100/120 years doctrine and some of the change dates are wrong. It's all summed up nicely in the below. You've got No Doctrine from 1916 - 1950. The 1897 one would have continued until 1927? Also you have it as undefined in 2000 - why do you think that? It was the '95 doctrine until it changed in '08.

Sodom and Gomorrah flip flops:

I think there were more than you've listed. JWFacts have a good list here:

Well done though!

Strike 3 for the elderette and me! (???) I never heard a JW talk SO much about Jesus!

by Faithful Witness in

miss k and her friend miss w arrived promptly today.

our scheduled topic of discussion: jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth and the life..." john 14:6 since she was basing this topic choice on the fact that i had quoted that verse, i'm not sure why... she spent what seemed like a very long time, hopping through scriptures that all said that jesus was the truth, the way, or the life.

ok, so we agreed... i kept waiting for her to get to a point, or sway from this principle.. of course, she summed up with scriptures that show how jesus submits to the father, and what does that mean we should do?

wizzstick

The whole time, she kept repeating how we get to the FATHER through JESUS... no one can get to JEHOVAH without JESUS.

Excellent.

Your follow up can be...how do get to the father?

The messed up JW doctrine of Jesus's mediatorship would an interesting follow up.

Is it true that the GB is soon planning on ditching the 1914 doctrine?

by yogosans14 in

or atleast tweaking it again... apparently there has been rumors of this coming out of bethel.

.

wizzstick

My guess is that post 2017 (once Walkill is finished) they will simply drop it. Just no longer mention it. If they have no doctrine to replace it with then just dropping it will be the easiest option.

Maybe saying, let's wait and see. Like they did with the King of the North. Indefinetly park it.

WTS buys £1,000,000 luxury sea-front property in Wales, UK

by Simon in

shower room.

office.

games room.

wizzstick

Don't see a big problem with that purchase.

The problem is simple. They just don't need it.

They have extensive office space in Mill Hill. More than enough for a translation commitee. If, for some reason, they needed to rent office space for the duration of the project in Wales then that would have much less of a cost attached to it than buying a luxury house.

To keep reminding the JW's to donate, donate, donate whilst purchasing a property like this is simply insensitive. Why oh why are such groups given tax free status when they can buy like this is unbelievable.

As pointed out above, Christ spoke of having nothing. This purchase again highlights how laughable their claims of being true Christians are.
