  Jehovah's Witnesses DENY the Physical Bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses are taught by their organisation that christ's body was disposed by jehovah god, they deny the physical bodily resurrection and explain that he rose again as a spirit creature.

  as we take into account what the watchtower teach, i explain from the bible that christ rose again from the grave in his body, and showing forth that the jehovah's witnesses are in error.

  in this video i cover:

  The probable reason Sanders has lost support is that his ideological policies are too unpractical or some would say too far left, Biden is of more of centralist, so I think he'll win the vote overall for the Democrats.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  These proactive measures are based on Bible principles

  Yes this makes sense since the ancient Hebrews knew what a virus was and how to deal with these kinds of contagious viruses.

  The GB leaders of the JWs are truly self deluded idiots.

  Oh the power can you just feel the power.

  Judaeo Christian religious practices may have actually come from ancient Egyptian religoius beliefs and practices

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  under close investigation of ancient middle eastern civilizations and their religoius beliefs and practices, there appears to be a connecting commonality derived from astronomical mythological beliefs.

  .

  as shown through the documentary zeitgeist it would appear that these ancient civilizations plagiarized mythological beliefs from an original source to use for their own individual means and purpose, the ancient egyptian mythological practices being the originating source.. the documentary zeitgeist brings forth some interesting thoughts.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ywr5tcjae.

  One bit of fact noted in history is Egypt was one of the most dominant civilizations of the Mesopotamian region and the ancient Hebrews had a reoccurring relationship with it well documented in the Torah and bible .

  I did check the link Cofty and I didn't find much contravening evidence there.
  

  I read once somewhere that his dating involving certain deities were slightly embellished though .

  The origin and practise of the Zodiac seemed right but it appears that some of his conclusions were more connecting theories.

  ......and how about an answer to the question I posed to you ?

  Donating Blood a Disfellowshipping Offense?

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i served as an elder i never heard of this scenario presenting itself - giving blood.. has anyone heard of a judicial case where a person donated and was disfellowshipped?

  are there any references to this in the jw publications, manuals, handbooks?.

  not so hiddenpimo :-).

  By giving blood for the purpose of transfusion, you are making a stand against the no blood doctrine and would be seen as an act of apostasy.

  If the matter was presented to the elders they would ask why and if there was no pursuance of repentance that person could find themselves in hot water, maybe even Dfed

  Its interesting that these opposers of the film and its information attack not the information but the man, making more of a ad hominem attack.
  

  So what your saying then Cofty is that the ancients did not plagiarize mythological stories from other established civilizations to use for themselves and embellish these stories to their own willful means and purpose ?

  The probable answer to that question TBK was to keep their own select culture and uniquely identified civilization unified unto themselves, since the savior Messiah was prophesied anyways why not go further into creating one for their own sake ?
