The Title Jesus Gave Himself: Lord of the Sabbath
by EverAStudent ini have been reading and investigating matthew 12:1-8. jesus is accused of breaking the law of the seventh day of rest, the sabbath.
he defends himself and then caps the discussion by declaring himself to be "the lord of the sabbath.
" since only yhwh was ever known as the lord of the sabbath (the one who created, owned, and received worship on the sabbath) i can find no other valid meaning for the title jesus gave to himself, except that he is calling himself god.. what meaning does the wts put on this title, since i know they are not willing to allow jesus to call himself yhwh?.

Moses's mistake
by highdose inok heres another thing that always worried and puzzled me... moses made great sacrifices to lead the isrealites and endured great hardship to do so... but he makes one mistake and suddenly all that counts for nothing and he gets no rewards for his pains at all!????!.
this has never seemed fair to me.
basicly what is seems to be saying is that you can lead a exemplary life at great cost to your self, but if you make one mistake... thats it youv'e blown it!.

Male and Female temple prostitutes
by ssn587 inthe following verses make me wonder just how prevalent prostituion at the "temple" was in ancient times.. the verse in deut.
23: 17 about becoming temple prostitutes didn't they israelites have a tabernacle until solomon built the temple during his reign?.
deuteronomy 23:17 none of the daughters of israel may become temple prostitutes neither may anyone of the sons of israel become a temple prostitute.

by Elsewhere inwhat more do the creationists want?
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/11/speciation-in-action/.
on one of the galapagos islands whose finches shaped the theories of a young charles darwin, biologists have witnessed that elusive moment when a single species splits in two.. in many ways, the split followed predictable patterns, requiring a hybrid newcomer whod already taken baby steps down a new evolutionary path.

I've had enough of this place
by Psychotic Parrot ini hate the watchtower.
and the governing body are the lowest lifeforms ever to crawl out of the devil's anus.
but the world really is no better & neither are ex-jdubs, despite their character building experience.. the watchtower and all other religions are pointless scumbag rackets.
