Increasing number of memorial partakers. It is incredible that they can deceive people that see themselves as believers and Christians to reject the symbols; "no Jesus, I dont want you" is really what it says. All due to Rutherfords unique speculations. Maybe a small rebellion is on the way?

Hi Everapostate,
I believe the new testament was written for Christians in general and to a specific original audience. Old testament is old history. All of it should be read with context, litterary style and original audience in mind. I think the idea of two classes of believers, one heavenly, one earthly, made JWs look too much to the old testament and imo confuse the two testaments.

EverApostate,
Actually the incredible thing about those verses is the idea that a slave owner could be punished. For the time and age, that idea is utterly insane.This was not written yesterday. I am pretty sure some slaveowners back then would be offended and considering these verses very offending to their humanity. Totally outdated to day obviously. I will leave it up to you to consider, if we even today have equal rights for all humanity, just to put things in perspective

Another silly Bible story....Joshua and the killing hailstones
by RULES & REGULATIONS in◄ joshua 10:11 ►.
and it came to pass, as they fled from before israel, and were in the going down to bethhoron, that the lord cast down great stones from heaven on them to azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of israel slew with the sword.. .
looks like the amorites came to the battle only wearing helmets.

EverApostate,
I agree with that. What I said about olam does not in any way rest on Russell. I also agree that eternity is is not part of the observeable universe. I also dont think it is a biblical idea either.

In reality if you depend on your boss paying the monthly salary on time or the bank own your home, you are owned too. Slaves were ancient serfs and working class. It comes down to how they were treated. It is a thing of the modern left to consider slavery deplorable pr definition not realizing all socities have their low class carrying the bricks and eating and living with a lower standard. A moderne lack of understanding history in context I had say

LongHairGirl, I think you are right. Conquered people were made slaves. They did have some race theory depending on how accomplished they considered the tribes to be

If the Bible had said directly that slavery should be abolished, the Romans could rightly have accused the Christians of wanting to tear down their society. I have always thought it was a little immature of the leftwing to expect the ancient book to condemn such a pillar in the ancient society. However Colossians 4:1 do tell the masters to play nice and remember they have a master (in heaven. The letter of Philemon seems to raise the question if it is possible for a Christian to keep another Christian as slave . On the other hand we should work hard in accordance with Ephesians 6:5

Why do TV networks keep "bleeping" out Trumps comments and statement?
by RubaDub ini don't understand it.
we have a president who is typically considered a model for what young people want to be when they grow up.
yet, when trump talks, the tv networks keep bleeping out so many of his words, even on fox news.. why?
