feel love instead of hate for that person who wronged you.

If the documents mentioned in the video are true, the corruption (if saying Jesus is God is corruption of what 'really' happened) of the church had to begin *very* shortly after Christs death, as Paul seemed to write his first letters in the late 40's or early 50's CE. From the video, it would seem there was an early schism of how to treat Christ, one being that Christ was just a human servant of God and was not resurrected, versus that he claimed deity by the things he did and by his resurrection.

The question is : What did the extremely early Christians have to gain by claiming that Jesus was God?

Really? Have you even READ the New Testament? He sure didn't seem to use it a lot (read : at all). That sure seems odd, doesn't it? If you've actually read the NT, you'll notice just how important Jesus' name is. His name is the one we get saved by, we can call on and it seems to be the only one that matters.

by Marvin Shilmer in

jw
friends

stop asking decide for yourself!

today i uploaded a new article highlighting the method of choice by watchtowers current governing body for dealing with problematic details haunting its doctrines.

moving forward the current governing body will expand on this theme.

What metatron said. Can you honestly imagine the amount of resources required to try and answer some of these questions that are mailed in? Probably huge. Why actually try and answer all of those questions, most of them irrevalent to vast unthinking JW membership, when you just send them to a vague WT. Either they simply don't care anymore, or that department (Service Department?) must be taking far too many resources and needs some trimming.

Tonight I disassociated myself - after 24 years - had 2 hour meeting with Elder

by Intel in

i am now sitting at home.

my wife left with my little child.

my fault (i dislike the word "fault", but don't have a better one right now).. it feels strange, relieved and free, at the same time it was all very strange.
