so my jw mom messages me on facebook last night and says she wants me, for a month, to read the bible, but first pray using the name jehovah and in jesus name and then read it with an open mind.
she is so ridiculous!
first of all, i do pray but i usually just say father and i always pray in jesus name and i find it ironic that she is saying i should have an open mind when hers is closed.
Ask her two questions.
What book in the New Testament is the summary of Christian dogma ?
Romans
Could you give me a brief summary of it?
You will never talk about the bible again with her again. Display any knowledge and they disappear like cock roaches.
i have never seen this country so divided.
something is going to give.
they is such a lack of recognition for the law.
I think as interest increase more people will turn to the democrats. Starting trade wars with the economy operating at nearly full employment is idiotic.
Ironically the democrats and republicans have switched places and no one really noticed.
i'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.
just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .
.
He literally reminds me of the head bully elder or a CO. Every cong has one. The narcissism is just off the charts.
Its seems rather odd ex dubs are so in love with him. I am just having flashbacks of things I would rather forget.

As a Canadian I can tell you the United States has the same anti dumping tariffs protecting there agricultural sector as we do, but you only hear about our milk tariffs. He doesn't tell you US food exports to Canada have gone from 2 billion to 20 billion since 1994.
Trump tells people the US run a massive trade deficit with Canada but he doesn't tell you about the 3.5 million barrels of oil imported each day. on a straight manufactured good to manufactured good, the US has a massive trade surplus with Canada.
He doesn't tell you Canada has lost about as many jobs to the US , as the US to Mexico.
Lies and half truths.
wow!
i thought he might get less than 2 years incarceration..
The judge said at the sentencing " The proof was in the pudding " .

honor “what god has yoked together”.
17 admittedly, there have been instances where an “unbelieving husband” seems to prove that he is not “agreeable to staying with her.” he might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger.
I have been married to a JW for 10 years now. Never once I have I ever seen her read the bible. Never has she given any witness of her faith. Never has she started a theological conservation with me. Heck, I am sure she doesn't even read the magazines anymore.
I try to explain basic Christian concepts to her. Saved by grace, why we have a new testament, what the new covenant is, the deity of Christ etc etc. She has no interest at all. She doesn't try and defend her position. She just doesn't give a shit.
spiritual endangerment ha ha . I think reading the bible might be "spiritual endangerment".
it turns out that on the basis of the book of revelation 14:4 the anointed ones have to be virgins?
how does the governing body explain this?.
The book of revelation has a pattern of John hearing something and seeing something different . It follows the theme of the old testament to new testament. Example he would hear the mighty lion of Judea and then see the bloody lamb.
The calling of the 144 is a reference to the building of an army in the book of Numbers. The he saw a great crowd no man could number. The 144 is just a symbol for the body of Christ or all Christians.
we you still in the borg when you realized the new testament is about god and the jews and god and the church and basically this whole transfer process from jewish law to this becoming the new person in christ.
its rather weird i once believed in heavenly hopers and earthly hopers and faithful slave classes etc etc.
its seems like something from star trek.

Not saying I am Joe Jesus or anything but seems rather odd how people seem to miss that.
under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.
"the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.
will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?
I always found the reasoning book to be.
1. irrelevant old testament story
2. irrelevant old testament story
3. Quote something out of context.
4. Massive theological leap.
If you studying the bible on a strictly secular university level class and you tried to pass that stuff as actually thoughts of any substance, you would fail every time.
jehovah's witnesses,is jesus christ, jehovah god?
(not the father, but equal to the father)what if the watchtower told you about god in a false way, and yet the bible taught you about god in his true character, how would you respond?could it be true, that the watchtower have been leading you up the garden path, describing god in a way that the bible does not describe?
please watch my latest video to help you to see how the bible describes the lord jesus christ, and also within my video, i explain from the new world translation how the bible which the jws use, also describes jesus as jehovah god.
