  this box appears in the new awake.. how can they say they have no clergy class?

  what is the governing body?

  how can they say they take no money collections at kingdom halls when the contribution boxes are very visible and we are reminded to give?

  Sola Scriptura

  by dieselman in

  1. watchtower
  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.

  From Whom Should We Receive True Bible Teachings today?

  by wannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does it not make sense, that the same one who taught the early christian's should be the same one that holds that responsibility to teach them all today?

  would it not also be true, that was we to accept the teachings of any religious organization today, we would only be receiving our bible teachings from man, and not from the true source, that taught in the first century?

  would not those type of teachings be lacking the holy spirit, hence, worthless to us?

  Dealing with the reality of death. How do you?

  by confliction in

  since i've come to the realization and conclusion that i've been living a fictional lifestyle for the last 17 years, i've also come to identify with agnosticism.. .

  but one issue that's been taking it's emotional toll on me lately is the realization of the fictitious paradisiac earth.. it was the ultimate goal as a witness- the answer to everything.

  even if you had questions that couldn't be answered, you were to "wait until the paradise and ask" when you got there.. .

  "He who endures to the end will be saved"

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this verse, in it's context from matthew 24, speaks about the turbulent times in the last days.. does this mean that only the survivors of armageddon will be "saved" in their physical form?.

  what will be the difference from those "saved" and those "resurrected"?.

  could it be that "resurrection" is merely a story of comfort without merit and those who are left standing at the end of the earth's destruction will somehow be "rescued"?.

  found this interesting.

  will the wts do the same?

  "a catholic priest in nashville, tennessee, couldn't wait for the u.s. government's promised stimulus plan to help his struggling parishioners, so he started his own.

  "except those days be shortened..."

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  matthew 24:22. and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:.

  .

  why would this be important if everyone would be resurrected anyway?.
