Faithful and Discreet Slave

by stillin in

i'm sure that this has been discussed before, but bear with me while i share my little insight.. the scripture about the fds is found in jesus description of the last days in matthew 24. not in mark 13, nor luke 21. those other writers didn't consider it important enough to include it in their writings.

it is the only mention, as far as i know, of any such "arrangement," yet on face value, if you are just reading the bible, it seems more like one of jesus' thought-provoking rhetorical questions, rather than a part of the sign of the last days.

no "two or three witnesses," yet this one scripture has become a rallying cry for a whole religion, consisting of millions of adherents!.

Wife off to singing practice tonight will the new songbook be any better?

even as a loyal jw i though thought our singing was pretty crap.

now, i sometimes catch a religious service on the radio and cannot help thinking how much better 'worldly' churches are in their approach to the use of music in their worship.

personally, if i were going to choose a religion based on music, i'd have to join a church with a gospel choir; i just love the warmth and enthusiasm of gospel music.. .

Mr eyeslice , invite Mrs Eyeslice to listen to a song

enjoy it together

True Faith Jehovah's Witnesses

by RR in

some of you may be aware of the jw offshoot in the 1940s after the judge died, they call themselves true faith jehovah's witnesses and are essentially jw's in every way, shape and form, wiwth some minor differences.

found this on you tube, from one of their conventions:.

I would indicate to him the following study --------

through a serious study, someone may understand.

What are the fruits that we are supposed to recognize?

by bluecanary in

i posted most of this on another thread but i want this to stand alone so i can refer back to it in the future.

one of our resident apologists has given her response on this thread.

you can judge the relative worth of her response for yourself.. "by their fruit you will recognize them.

"And Sudden Destruction will be upon them....."
upon whom ?
the Bible answer : "upon the false christs "
why ?
because they are teaching false teachings in the name of God and keep saying that only so (by obeing them) the men/people will have peace with God !
--- absolutely false !
so, they deserve destruction from God's hand !
