  What really should be the role of Women in the congregations?

  by Old Navy in

  2. beliefs

  the presumably "biblical" practice of limiting the way women participate in congregational matters of the wtborg cult inc. (as well as certain other sects of christendom) may be a gross mis-interpretation of what paul meant.

  i'm inclined to agree completely with this account of what paul really meant.. thoughts anyone?

  aren't women more deserving of greater participation and respect?.

  Quote from Half Banana:

  The best thing for women is the same as for men; get as far away as possible from crackpot, mind controlling religions with out-dated gender roles and get a sound secular education. At least then you can then base your life on factual things not Bible mumbo jumbo.

  Well said! I agree fully. There is indeed a great deal of "Bible mumbo jumbo" in those Cults/Sects of Christendom (WTBorg Cult Inc. foremost) who lack Love and who employ Deception as they enforce the Rules of Men.

  What could Jw church do to enhance their shunning regime?

  by Chook in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if they controlled a nation they would stone their kids to death , which seems harsh but its nothing compared to the solitary confinement they emotionally and physically bestow on their own children.

  i think they have ticked every box as to the rejection of their children except killing them, they leave that for god ..

  Something happened - the link didn't insert! Try again.

  Some "Churches" handle it properly and Biblically.

  Shunning is indeed a Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

  Excommunication is common within Christendom but shunning isn't.

  Bobcat,

  The link you provided regarding "Women in Ancient Israel" is poignant. So as a matter of Truth, the WTBorg Cult Inc. is an extension of Pharisaic Law (Rules of Men.)
  

  You make your argument very convincingly!

  Bobcat,

  Very interesting thoughts regarding the Sign of Jonah.

  Since the Pharisees believed that a man wasn't dead until three days had elapsed; and that we know it would be very difficult for a man to remain alive in the belly of a fish (or whale), could it be that Jonah was actually dead for those three days and was made alive again when he was expelled onto the beach?

  Jesus also let his good friend Lazarus go for three days (perhaps to show the Pharisees that he was really dead) before going to him to bring him back to life. Nobody could deny that Lazarus had died and yet he was miraculously brought back to life. The strongest form of proof that even the Pharisees could not reject.

  Quote from Diogenesister:
  

  In fact the scriptures were Paul is particularly scathing of women are the very ones academics don't believe he wrote such...

  And they think correctly since Paul was quoting a letter from Chloe:

  Quote from Article:
  

  Such is the case in 1 Corinthians 14:34, 35, which, if written today, would have been set apart in quotation marks, for Paul here was quoting directly from Chloe’s letter (1 Corinthians 1:11; 5:1; 7:1). In other words, these verses are not to be taken as Paul’s instruction to the church, but as a teaching that someone else was setting forth.

  In truth, Paul was showing that the teachings he quoted regarding Women were incorrect. Paul was not advocating that Women should be silenced or treated as they were in Pharisaic Law.
  

  How can the WTBorg Cult Inc. have gotten it so wrong? How could "God's chosen channel" adopt Pharisaic Law regarding Women and call it "righteous?"

  Are JWs the most corporate religion?

  by cookiemaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it pretty shocking how corporate the jw religion is.

  i never saw it this way when i was in but now that i look at it from a different perspective, it seems quite clear.

  much of the terminology used by jws is corporate inspired.

  Aye, and perhaps the most militant of religious corporations. How many others have their own Thought Police, Kangaroo Courts and Governing Body Idols?

  One thing is "for sure." The WTBorg Cult Inc. does have a keen understanding of the Job of Satan. But then, it figures. After all, the WTBorg Cult Inc. is aiding Satan as he goes about his work of lying, deceiving and hurting people.

  They're doing a "splendid" job of it too.

  Question by SnuggleBunny:

  Why doesn't the Watchtower simply apply the Hot / Crazy Matrix and leave us fellas to get on with it?

  Superb question! Both the long and short answers should be "obvious."

  Long answer: While claiming to be the "channel of God" they are in reality in service to the Father of the Lie.

  Short answer: They are a CULT.

  Once that sinks in, Freedom begins.
