  Jehovah's Witnesses DENY the Physical Bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses are taught by their organisation that christ's body was disposed by jehovah god, they deny the physical bodily resurrection and explain that he rose again as a spirit creature.

  as we take into account what the watchtower teach, i explain from the bible that christ rose again from the grave in his body, and showing forth that the jehovah's witnesses are in error.

  in this video i cover:

  Yes pretty amazing the soul of Jesus was not allowed to rot as PR Psalm 16:10. Doubting Thomas was allowed to check out his body with soarmarks. Hallelujah thank you Jesus 😘

  What Makes. Person A Pedophile?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  it seems the news always has another report of a pedo stalking children or hurting them.

  i know this has gone on forever but i read another report of an illegal alien with a history of abuse taking advantage of another poor child.. i just don’t understand why some people do this.

  is there an actual brain abnormality?

  Solomon had a thousand concubines, so hardly a rolemodel for JWs but perhaps for Johnny Cash or Garner Ted Armstrong 😁😁😁. He is like Nero connected to the 666 figure, something about being so blessed with earthly blessings they overcome you. With great fame comes a lot of willing women. I agree with the 15-16+ plus thing. I also imagine most of the guys they catch on to catch a predator etc. go after teens because they find the modern grown women too difficult and intimidating. Despite knowing of the strong punishments for this especially in the US, that desire for sexual satisfaction is strong.

  Judaeo Christian religious practices may have actually come from ancient Egyptian religoius beliefs and practices

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  under close investigation of ancient middle eastern civilizations and their religoius beliefs and practices, there appears to be a connecting commonality derived from astronomical mythological beliefs.

  .

  as shown through the documentary zeitgeist it would appear that these ancient civilizations plagiarized mythological beliefs from an original source to use for their own individual means and purpose, the ancient egyptian mythological practices being the originating source.. the documentary zeitgeist brings forth some interesting thoughts.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ywr5tcjae.

  Recommended Reading for ExJWs: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

  by Jehalapeno in

  2. entertainment

  first off, this is a book you want to read.

  avoid the movie franchise at all costs.

  horrible movies.. here's why i recommend this book: its prime focus is using rational reasoning to form your life philosophy - whether that be relationships, career or faith.. it also gives insight into the mind of someone who survived the geopolitical equivalent of the jws - the communist regime of stalin.. the antagonists of the book are referred to as "collectivists".

  Elitists with their agendas and disrespect for wellbeing of the average Joe. A politician should serve the people, not rule over them. I like Trump for being a man of the people

  If there was any fairness these hardworking Publishers should have some dividend from the Jw fortune. It is "family" after all.

  Caves,

  Funny with those perspectives and expectations of God. In the Christadelphian understanding (I was for a short while a baptised Christadelphian), the great harvest / multitude takes place in the millennium and few people are saved prior to that. The vast majority that ever lived are never raised. "God does not bless his creation equally". An elder told me Hitler was appeared on the world scene to make possible the creation of israel that they think is of God. The JW is essentially a humanist. His org may behave harsh and controlling but he has a bleeding heart for humanity, hence all the "isn't the world a bad place" preaching.

  I would say when I started getting faith and reading the Bible years after stopping to go to the Kingdom hall, it was obvious to me that Russell and JWs were not what I had been told they were and that they added a lot to the Word just like the Catholics

  My email to JW Following Trolley Conversation

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few weeks ago i had an really interesting conversation with three male jws who were loitering around a trolley at the west end of princes street in edinburgh.. i managed to completely avoid giving any hint about my jw past and focussed on why they thought the bible was a reliable moral guide.

  i used the subject of slavery to illustrate my concerns.. one of the three was in his early twenties, knew a lot about his own beliefs but nothing about the real life and it was difficult to get through his thought-bubble.

  the second one was in his 60s and not very bright.

  Finkelstein,

  Slavery build great empires and civilisations, the West included. The Greeks were pretty progressive despite slavery. A greater focus on the virtues of universal human dignity came slowly with the reformation when man was ready for that ☺️. Human development is a slow proces. Whether or not it has reached equilibrium is a faith issue. I dont look at history with ideological but pragmatic glasses ☺️.

  I am pretty sure the early church had not survived the Romans if they had attacked their lifeblood of the slavery institution ☺️. I do not have the faith in human nature that atheists have and wonder where human civilisation had been without slavery as the backbone. Sad but true.
