  IBSA/JW`s transformation from witnesses of Jesus to witnesses of Jehovah

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when c.t.russell first printed his magazine it was called "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence" was it not ?.

  so obviously he was concerned about witnessing about jesus and announcing his kingdom to all who would listen and read his magazine.it was jesus and his kingdom that he was witnessing about ,and of course those who followed him ,would have done and did the same.. their are over 20 scriptures in the christian greek scriptures telling christians to witness for and about jesus.

  and that was in harmony with what the new testament ( the christian greek scriptures ) is all about ,witnessing to,for,and about jesus christ.. their is not one scripture in the new testament ,the christian greek scriptures that says or even indicates that christians .

  This was purely a business move.

  With the death of Russell, there was a power struggle over who would take over the corporation and the religious sect. 3 separate religious organizations emerged, but it was Rutherford who took over the corporation.

  Rutherford wanted it to be blatantly clear which sect was over the corporation. Rutherford adopted numerous doctrines and the name "Jehovah's Witnesses" to be sure the public knew the were separate from everyone else. All the prohibitions on holidays, military service, abstaining from blood, etc. are results of this policy of separation.

  I won't lie - I am a pizza snob.

  Crusts; thin crust is my favorite. I also enjoy New York Style and Chicago deep dish. BJ's Brewhouse has a wonderful deep dish crust that must have sourdough or beer in the dough mix.

  Sauce; a tangy, thick pizza sauce is a must. The more the better. Also, a chunky Chicago style sauce is excellent. I am not into non-tomato based sauces.

  Cheese; real, high quality mozzarella is a must. Shaved Parmesan is also a must.

  Toppings; Breakfast bacon is my favorite followed by real Italian sausage. I do not like the cheap sausage kibble. I also recently discovered Italian meatball as a great topping. Pepperoni is a must for NY style. Follow that with green olives, mushrooms (not the dried out ones), and fresh minced garlic.

  Sex before marriage

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

  what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

  in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

  Sex prohibitions and marriage all stemmed from -

  1. Ancient inheritance rights

  2. Women not being able to own property

  A "bastard" is an illegitimate male child with no inheritance rights. A female child born out of wedlock or from a legitimate marriage had no inheritance rights.

  Although men married a woman, it was for the sole purpose of producing a legitimate male heir. Men still slept around with whomever they wished.

  Physical intimacy is important for physical, mental, and emotional health. The "sin" in not unmarried sex. The sin is producing a child outside of a marriage.

  Blownaway - Italian hard cheeses are lower in fat. I do not recommend that powdered stuff cheap italian places and pizza restaurant put out on their tables.

  Asiago, Parmeasan, and Romano are all powerful in flavor. Make sure you shave them thin.

  Could he get DFed? Oh yes! However, most likely he will lose his privileges and be privately reproved. He will start to get his privileges back in 6 months.

  I am into Italian hard cheeses like Asiago, Parmesan, and Romano. I like when you shave pieces of these cheeses. I also like creamy Havarti. I put Muenster on my breakfast sandwiches in the morning.

  The is a definite attempt by pedophiles to lump themselves into the LGBT+ community in their vile hopes to become mainstream accepted.

  How does the "slave" turn 11 into 500?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at matthew 28:16, the alleged "faithful slave" changes the number of people whom jesus invites, from 11 to over 500 - in order to "prove" that men, women, and children were commanded to preach.*.

  3 - “jesus’ 11 faithful apostles...went to a mountain in galilee to meet the resurrected christ!....“upward of five hundred brothers” may have been present on that occasion.” (or may not!).

  other disciples are there too, about 500 of them,.

  I invoke the ancient Roman rite of Taurus Feces. In Watchtower speak, "it is understood" means "it's our unsubstantiated opinion".
