  Original "Sin" does NOT exist in the Bible.

  by sinis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yep, you heard it.

  original sin does not exist, and has never existed.

  simply put - man was made for slave labor and the "gods" did not want man to ascend.... for your reading enjoyment i present a few scriptures:.

  "God" basically made man for slave labor, just as the older Sumerian texts indicate.

  Are you refering to the Anunnaki (self proclaimed 'gods'- the royal 'we' who 'created them', to havest the ORME???)

  I found this an interesting explaination as for why there is a particular reference to the location of Gold in 2 Genesis 2:10-16

  You may be barking up the wronge tree on this forum but I found this article rather interesting and entertaining http://www.halexandria.org/dward185.htm

  But it still does not explain who or why the real G-d is or was or prove much if anything, except it does offer a different explanation for the accounts of Genesis..... part of the Fools Journey, but an essential part for a true seeker IMO

  Didn't Paul/Saul order the disciple Stephen to be killed? Wasn't he also a Roman Soldier that perhaps in the line of duty 'killed' many people himself? Was he not a sinner? Did Jesus feel him worthy to preach his message after he confessed and was 'washed clean'???????

  Look, I am not defending this guys past actions (Iam a parent and his past actions sicken me!), but if he has 'done the time for the crime' and the state has deemed him 'free' and 'reabilitated' then who the hell are we to judge what he can and cannot do now? if you had made past mistaks, felt bad, appologized, changed you ways and wanted to 'get on with life' , how would you feel about an artical like that being published about you?????

  What ever happend to 'do unto others' and 'love for your neigbours'???? if you would like to be forgiven, should you not also forgive???

  forgiving does not mean forgetting- it is simply to let go of the hate and move in peace, while learning from the past (the past- something you cannot change!)

  If he has changed so much and "converted" to God so fully then he shouldn't have any problems with preaching to people in Jail, other sex offenders and such and NOT to people that don't want him around.

  I mean, there is lots of preaching he can do that makes sure he has ZERO contact with children.

  This is a good sugestion for if the parents of the cong still feel uncomfortable with his past- but we cant make that choice for him.

  Alex Hall,

  En svensk? Trevligt. Trodde jag var den enda här.

  Du oroar dig för mycket om oförlåtlig synd. Du vet att det krävs bra grövre synder än att ger efter för "köttsliga" begär för att aldrig få förlåtelse.

  Dvs om du ff tror att detta är sanningen. Gör du det, så vet du att förlåtelse är inom räckhåll. Tänk på liknelsen om den förlorade sonen.

  Folk har gjort värre saker än så. Oroa dig inte. Och lycka till.

  Huh?

  Max Hatton's 1965 study on WTS reformatted - PDF

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during the mid 1960s, we were regularly visited by jehovah's witnesses at the door.

  i needed to know how to manage the situation and i was very fortunate to be given two research studies that exposed the jws errors on the neo-babylonian chronology.

  one study was written by geoff rogerson, from the small country town of western australia called denmark, and the other was by max hatton, who had been a jw for 5 years but had been affected by geoff's work.. .

  A POLL! How long did your "re-evaluation" take?

  by Gayle in

  1. social
  2. family

  from beginning to end, how long did it take you, when you first started your personal questioning and re-evaluating the watchtower organization and concluding that the wts was definitely not true?

  my sister is asking this.

  some of us (who left a couple decades ago - pre-internet) are saying it took about 10 years on average.

  I only studied for 2 years- took one week of hard researching (online) and two weeks to GET OUT FOR GOOD!!!!

  I still think prevention is the best cure- KH's should sport the same warning lables as smoke packets!!

  today is kim clijsters' birthday and a month ago she announced her retirement from tennis.

  i remember the week she was born very well.

  i have watched tennis since the late '70s, and i remember when billie jean king was a star, when jimmy connors was a hot new thing, and when "virginia slims" matches were shown on wtbs.

  I'm with Leolaia on this one- it was unfair on Kim to have the match end that way!

  Let's face it- Serena (JW or NOT) is suposed to be a proffesional, and this was just stupidity on her part!

  Blood Doctrine Debate

  by garyneal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as has been the case over the summer, my wife and i have been going to two different churches every sunday.

  generally, before church service we speak of religion and the various differences and, of course, why she believes hers is right.

  this time, we spoke briefly about holidays first.

  I would sujest you check out the laws in the country/state you live in on this issue- I was suprised to learn that in Australia, JW parents (or anyone else) are by law NOT allowed to refuse blood transfusions for there minor children. So even though this doctrine is preached by the WTBTS in many countrys- it is actually against the laws of some.
