Sola Scriptura
by dieselman in

2. bible
in response to yknot *** please note the wts doesn't believe in sola scriptura (bible understood alone by individuals), if you are 'lurker' and want to refute this fact, please start a new thread or feel free to pm me ...... (reproof will be accepted if you can show me my error of understanding on the matter).

in the words of the ethiopian "how can i," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?

" so he invited philip to come up and sit with him.

i don't post here much, so hopefully i put this in the right section.

if not, let me know.. i've emailed my aunt about the new generation change, just to see her reaction to it and what her mindset is.

i tried to keep it simple and not attack her personally as she has a heart of gold and has been a jw 40+ years.

Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon
by Leolaia in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
jehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.

yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.

personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.

If you could ask an elder your questions
by Heather in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what question do you want to ask or have you asked that would stump or have stumped an elder?

i'm in the position where my mom wants me to come back and wants me to have my questions answered (even though she has dodged most of mine) so that i will once again see its the truth and want to return.

so i'm going to set a meeting with an elder to see if he would be willing to attempt to answer some of my questions to prove to me beyond a doubt that i'm in the wrong.

"Mature" JW's READ THIS:
by Honesty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
"mature" jw's, what do you "believe" you are accomplishing by coming on this board?.

page 371 paragraph 22 of the june 15, 1967 watchtower magazine says, "in addition to all of this, a persons faith can be weakened by what he reads and takes into his mind, dwelling upon "higher criticism," relying on worldly philosophers.

it should be remembered that, when we are reading a book, the author of the book becomes ones teacher, and for this reason great care should be taken in selecting reading matter.
