  Jesus turns water into wine...

  by trueblue in

  i heard a story a long time ago that the bible is like a bottle of fine wine that everyone has been taking a drink out of and putting a little water in it so the bottle still appears to be full, but there has been so many people that have taken turns before us taking a drink of fine wine and replacing it with water that there is only a little bit of fine wine left in the bottle but there is still some fine wine in the bottle.. john 10:27my sheep listen to my voice, and i know them, and they follow me.. i was also told that in the pass that some rulers found that it was easier to control people by putting things in the bible, like putting in the bible that the people were to give a percentage of all there earnings.

  it was easier to get the people to give them money if they believed god required it then to get them to give money because a man required it.

  history is not my good subject so it is hard for me to determine weather this statement is true, but i have observed that people have at the very least altered the words in the bible to help you understand the bible according to what they believe.. any inputs?.

  Does WTS promotes child abuse?

  by trueblue in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i could not beleive my ears one sunday in a public talk when the speaker was stating and brought up scripture that "all scriptures are inspired of god and benificial for teaching" stating that gods law before mans law and the government says that you can not spank kids but the bible says "spare the rod spoil the child".. the speaker did not come right out and say you have to spank kids but that would be the way a child abuser would take it don't you think?.

  also sounds like they are mocking the government and the law of the land.... i don't know is it just me or did it give me flashbacks?

  the speach sure upset me....

  Kick the crutch

  by trueblue in

  i mien what difference does it make weather jesus died on a cross or a stake, or if people believe that they go to heaven or hell, or if one wants to call it church or a kingdum hall, as long as they are happy, and it does not change what god really has in store.. all arguing with other people with these senseless issues does is kick the crutch out from under someone elses faith.

  so to speak.. it makes me think that they have to knock everyone elses product because their product is no good.. or may be there is a message between the lions.... .

  Is there a defferance between a question or a false prophet?

  by trueblue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw's aounced the end of this system would end in 1975 well i do not believe i am in paradice.. a watch tower mag said that when first aproached some of the chosen ones that they asked jesus if he came to fulfill the prophecy at this time and jesus replied that is not yet.

  the point was that sence they were gods people that asked jesus about the time of the end and they were wrong then it should be alright for jw's to be wrong.. jesus said no one knows the hour if any jw asked.. i think there is no if buts and ands about it, it was a false prophecy..
