whats easier for man to accept .......
by exjwbennymcd1978 inrecently i was asked by a fellow christian brother:.
"whats easier for man to accept (1) that you are saved by the love and grace of god or (2) that your salvation is dependant on works ?".
it may have been my jw upbringing that jolted me to answer quickly " oh that's easy that your saved by grace " ........................... i paused ............................................. i looked to the floor ........... " its easier to accept that i have to work for my salvation ".

GB Lineage question
by PSacramento inif the gb is the discreet and faitful slave, what are it's ties to the 1st or 2nd century christians?.
scripture shows that the apostles meet with elders ( distinguished from apostles) and the whole of the (local) congregation to reach a decision on important matters ( see acts and so forth, they don't show a "governing body" at all, but if we suspend judgement for a moment and give the benefit of the doubt that this was the eary version of a governing body, how does the wt traces its lineage back to them ?.

A thought on two classes of Christian
by JeffT inall the threads about memorial got me to thinking about this.
jw's are fond of talking about how they have no clergy/laity distinction.
{they do, but that's another thread} the distinction they draw between annointed and 'other ship' creates a gulf far larger between the two classes of jw's than any separation of clergy and flock in christendom.

Moral improvments to God's Laws?
by PSacramento inthey say that god is the same, today, yesterday and tomorrow.. but we know that man isn't and neither is man's understanding of god.. the bible is a progressive and revelatory telling of man's interaction with god, at least i see it that way ;).
but the question of a moral and ethical god does keep being brought up and certainly one does indeed, at times, have a hard time understanding to ot understanding of god with how god is revealed via his son in the nt.. i have commented on this a few times myself, but on william lane's craig website, i found this q&a:.
question 217. subject: could gods moral commands be improved?.

JW's, EX-JW's and Child custody
by PSacramento inout of curiosity and kind of brought to mind by what dan ( brotherdan) is going through, i was wondering the legal issue of jw doctines that are potentially harmful to children and how that can effect a custody hearing.. the no-blood issue is the obvious one, a child whos parent will not allow it to be saved by a blood transfusion is a child in risk by that parent, how does the law see this issue in regards to custody rights ?.
