Heading to the Spain and the Holy Land
by CalebInFloroda inas part of my journey as a sepahrdic jew, i am off on a journey that will take me to both spain and israel to apply for the right of return offered to me by both nations.. as such i will be absent from this delightful forum during this life-changing odyssey.
till that time we are together again, be assured you are in my thoughts and (for those of you who do not mind) my prayers.. please know you have contributed to me greatly and have helped me much, all of you.
it is rewarding to freely share, discuss, even debate issues here so freely.

John 13:35.
by Sabin inso my husband believes the wording in john 13:35 is wrong.
instead of saying, "by this all will know that you are my disciples-if you have love among yourselves".
it should say "by this all will know that you are my disciples-if you have love for yourselves".

Child Abuse- A universal problem -for example, in Pakistan
by fulltimestudent inwhile the australian royal commission may be the focus of our attention at the moment, we should not forget that this is a much wider problem.
previous official investigations in australia (inquiring into church run homes for kids)have revealed horrible examples of abuse, as have similar investigations in canada and ireland.. and international news today reports on this mass incident in pakistan.
and if some may want to see this as a muslim problem, then please do a search and find that similar things happen in india.. the hongkong based asia times reports:.

The spread of religion through history
by snare&racket inwhen growing up a jw, i was always confused as to world history, geography and religious development.
it didn't make sense, because what we were told was simply untrue.... http://tinyurl.com/purzy8k.

Me and the bible don't see eye to eye
by bobld inmatt 7:13 in the past 2000 years billions of people took the broad and spacious road to destruction.john 5;29 however,they will be resurrected.why!
would you retrieve a rotten apple from the trash.. james 1;15 desire-paraphased leads to sin and death.a married man desires and has sex with a woman.you could say he screwed himself to death.on the other hand a man with pure thoughts would not think of such a thing.he's going to die anyways.bummer.. james 1:17 a perfect gift from above.my ass,drought in california and snow to high heaven in boston.. one more james 1;22 become doers of the word (per john 1;14 the word is j.c.) how am i suppose to do something with the word that is somewhere in space.

Would the WTBTS ever do this?
by ABibleStudent ini know that jws like to boast about how virtuous jws and the wtbts are and believe that the wtbts abhors child sex abuse.. if a co is equivalent to a catholic archbishop, would the wtbts ever df a co and support him being prosecuted for child sexual abuse like the catholic church is doing to wesolowski, who paid to have sex with children ( http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33491956 )?
i wonder if this news will appear in a watchtower or awake.
i doubt it for obvious reasons.. peace be with you and everyone, who you love,.

The misuse of historical objects/text to prove the bible is divine
by adjusted knowledge ini had a former high school teacher post on facebook about the cyrus cylinder proving the narrative in the book of ezra and daniel.
the article i clicked on was by some christian organization that states the cylinder proves that god moved cyrus to allow the jews to go home and worship.. but no where on this cylinder does it mention the jews.
yet all these people are commenting as if it is fact.

How does God measure up to the definition of love at 1st Corinthians?
by purrpurr inwe all know the famous scripture of 13:4-8. the wt uses it to show how jw's ought to behave and think.
it's like a golden standard.. but i was thinking, how does god himself measure up to this standard?
in the bible it clearly states that god is jealous.
