Christian groups are "launched" into Indonesia to help. All christian world helps as it can - someone more, someone less, but christians don't stand in silent. What WT do? Is there any offical statements from them. I think ppl would not have nothing against them if they saw that WT does real charity work.

by OpenFireGlass innote to board ... i'm starting this thread as a request from "judas i" cause he reached his limit... but it is related to this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/113936/1.ashx.
so why is everyone not allowed to interpert successfully the holy writings?

For not understanding and not allowing you to interpretate is several reasons
1. Historical. Language changes, so you need expert who can translate words and sentences into your current language
2. You are too stupid to understand text. There is some degree of IQ needed sometimes to understand complex idioms and contexts
3. Your presupostition does not allow you to read what it is sayed, and you can fall into allegoric understanding where it is meant direct and vice versa.
So truth is not hidden. Just like truth about Quantum mechanics is not hidden, go and read books. But will you understand? And if your base is corrupted then whole building will fall apart! So for Bible in particular the base and the KEY for each context is Jesus Christ. If you do not know Jesus Christ, then Bible is hidden. And that's pretty clear. You need truth to understand truth. But Jesus Christ IS the truth! -

Did you ever think that your "eternal life" already started?
by JH in.
when i got baptized as a jw, and being told that the end was so close, and i was only 28, i really thought that my eternal life had already started.
i was sure, with their teachings, that the odds of dying was slim, compared to the proximity of the new system.. i really thought that my eternal life had started..

What did Paul mean?
by AK - Jeff inhe stated; .
"all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
" 2 timothy 3:16,17. at the time of his writing this, much of what the universal [catholic] church later included in the now accepted nt canon was not written.

Is it Paul or Holy Spirit who speaks the words. And if HSpirit, then he is not bound by Paul's knowledge and considerations!

607 bce or 587 bce
by jw injerusalem 607 bce vindicated.
why jehovahs witnesses are right for sticking to the bibles chronology of 607 bce for the destruction of jerusalem.
arguments for 587 bce are scripturally flawed, causing four bible prophecies to fail.

Those 20 missing years is very explained (now I will be advocat for JW). The events was very far long away in history. It is very plausable that we just don't have discovered missing king(s). We don't know cleary all the history (except 607bc) so probably the missing Kings will be discovered soon before end comes. ;)
p.s. I am not JW, just can adopt their thinking for fun! They really don't like when I do that! -

When you pray to God, who answers your prayers, Jesus or Jehovah?
by JH in13 also, whatever it is that you ask in my name, i will do this, in order that the father may be glorified in connection with the son.
so is it correct to say that if we ask jehovah something in prayer, it's jesus that will grant the prayer, since he said "if you ask in my name, i will do it"?.
i always thought that it was jehovah whom we pray to, and he was the one who would answer our prayer, not jesus.

Funny is that if you read originall this John 14:13-14 then Jesus is telling that if you pray ME in My Name I will do it! There 3 "ego" in passage - one is "ego name" then second is "ego will do it" and 3rd is to WHOM we should pray. But tradition translates it without specific mentioning whom we have to pray, coz it was pretty clear that we go to Father through Jesus. Can you go through door without going TO the door?
