think this night about former and current leadership of jw.org, and the use of multimedia and broadcasting, imaging a theodore jaracks kind of gb member would be chosen again.. is there a way back possibility for jw.org to end all the multimedia circus and a go of the radar for the gb again?.

a one way street?.

g..

OnTheWayOut

there is a way back. But because of permanent records on the internet, the only way back would seem to have to denounce the deviation of purpose that the current Bozos have taken their organization.

You miss the point. I am not included in your argument group. You are saying that something is inarguable if we only stay exclusive to Christians and Jews.

I am saying that there is a group not arguing that something is a holy text and there is a group not arguing that Watchtower is the correct beliefs, but that doesn't make their claim "inarguable" if people outside the group want to argue about the text being holy or the Watchtower being correct beliefs.

I can find a group that unarguably declares the Bible to be words of men only. I could probably even find a group larger than the number of Christians and Jews in your group- the two thirds of the planet not part of your group. It matters not. It is not inarguable.

inarguable: certain or clearly true, not open to argument, doubt, or question.

Yeah, even Christians and Jews argue over it. But I know what you are saying. Still, the printed word of Watchtower is unarguably the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. So to be so exclusive as to who is allowed to argue a point is not acceptable to me. Good luck with that.

Leaked 2018 Elders Training Video RE: Elders Reviewing Pionieers

quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.

especially for the first sister they talk about!.

OnTheWayOut

Did they ever discuss how these guys themselves can sit at a cart with the lady short on hours and get the hours?

I agree that discontinuance of pioneer service can be a relief from stress. But I also get that they make these people feel guilty that they are not pioneers or guilty that they fall short on the hours.

How about "Congratulations Sister, we have granted you relief." ?

Duck and run...Classic.

Yeah fine. No matter what valid points are made, you will declare victory. So enjoy.
I just don't need to be another voice trying to tell you that various people interpret the Bible in various ways. It's already pointed out to you that some declare OT writings to apply to "Israel" and not "Messiah" (or the personification of the principle of light). But nope, it all points to Jesus. I am not going to bother joining the chorus because you go too far to say that my even talking about it, knowing about it, is proof that it is "from God." WOW, YOU WIN!

You are just too not ready to have real discussions. Nope, you win no matter what. The Bible proves the Bible is from God. It doesn't approve rape and subservience of women or slavery. Anywhere it couldn't be literal, of course it was symbolic. And of course it cannot be made to say anything as the atheists say, but only says what your Christianity says it says.

Now you spin it around to accuse me of spinning it around. Classic.

"The very fact that [I] have an opinion about Jesus' claim to be God's Messiah PROVES the validity of the OT scripture that says 'the people have seen a great light'".

I have an opinion about Mohammed abd Vishnu and others....but I am not on a Muslim debate forum or other forum dealing with non-Christian cults.

People living before the NT was writen were without the Messiah yet they could have a clue about the contents of the OT. I left a group that insisted I need someone else to understand the Bible.

And by your own logic- The fact that people believe in any of the gods of the world is some kind of proof of their validity.

Dear myelaine,

There are various belief statements that can be said of Islam, Thor, Isis, any number of gods that would go the same way as saying "The very fact that you have an opinion ...."

Your statements show how closed your mind is...and how you try to spin it around on unbelievers.

So I am not interested in a new debate with someone like that. Good day.

Crazyguy,

Interesting observation. If Jesus had really performed such great miracles such as calming the storm, resurrection ... no writer would search for so weak as irrelevant, prophecy-looking verses from OT to prove Messiah's credential. It's not only redundant but also back-firing.

Very good point. "Christ Jesus brought the dead back to life, he calmed a violent storm, and.....oh, yeah- So sayeth the Psalms that his legs would not be broken, that happened too."
