What Were the "Geneologies" Of Which Paul Was Warning In 1 Tim. 1:17?
by Justitia Themis ininteresting...from the jaimeson, fausset and brown bible commentary:.
genealogies--not merely such civil genealogies as were common among the jews, whereby they traced their descent from the patriarchs, to which paul would not object, and which he would not as here class with "fables," but gnostic genealogies of spirits and aeons, as they called them, "lists of gnostic emanations" [alford].
so tertullian [against valentinian, c. 3], and irenaeus [preface].

JWs Chronology VS. Peace With God
by writetoknow inis the bible written for self-preservation or dependency upon god for salvation?
bible chronologist seems to imply that all depends upon their personal intellect or ability to figure out bible dates for salvation.
furthermore, they arent often concern with helping people understand the rest of the bible, that is, finding peace with god.

Why use the word apostate?
by greendawn inwhy should we define ourselves by what the fds defines us?
our enemies who seek emotional control over us even after we left their destructive cult have invested a lot of effort to demonize us with the word apostate and when we use the term ourselves we do their work for them.
most so called apostates simply thought about things deeply and came up with many questions that the jws instead of answering in a logical manner labelled these inquiring minds as demon inspired apostates doubting the god appointed fds and expelled them from their org.

A rhetorical analysis of the Sept. KM Question Box
by Leolaia insome have pursued an independent group study of biblical hebrew and greek so as to analyze the accuracy of the new world translation.
they have also held conferences and produced publications to present their findings and to supplement what is provided at our christian meetings and through our literature.. throughout the earth, jehovah's people are receiving ample spiritual instruction and encouragement at congregation meetings, assemblies, and conventions, as well as through the publications of jehovah's organization.
rather, the claim is implicit.

Millions of years vs. Thousands according to the Society
by Cindi_67 inanother topic gave me the idea to post this one.
i have always asked myself, why does the society not agree with the amount of time archeologists say dinosaurs and other species roamed the earth?
they agree the earth has existed for maybe billions of years.

by Philippus79 indoes anyone know or have a scan of the km 09/07.
in the german edition the question is raised and answered if the "faithful and discreet slaves" encourages biblestudy groups who study "deeper" topics.
obviously the answer is "no" don't do that the slaves feeds you more than enough.. i could do with an english copy.

found website that supports WTBTS..
by new_account ini was doing an image search on google and found a link to a website that appears to fully support the watchtower org.
[ http://www.jehovah-god.org/ ] .
interesting thing to me is the pictures that it shows, some i have never seen in offical literature, yet they look like they couldve have been ones made but not used, or something i dont know.. and others that resemble images from books such as the revelation book... (the city, pearls etc).
