  Today's watchtower study reiterated, that here is no resurrection for A & E because they deliberately sinned. (were deliberately deceived.) but

  did they not die for their sins? so are now even steven. so: why would they not qualify for another chance to work on it with knowledge, hindsight?

  Wt writers deliberately put forth anti-biblical prophecies, even predictions, if/when they die, would they not qualify for a second chance too?

  Some of the examples in the article could die 3 times, lie Lazarus et al, died once adamacly, died again because of inherited "sin", would be resurrected, and could rebel "after the thousand years are ended" , and die then finally for good or bad.

  That is a bad story , 2 resurrections, 3 times paying for your "sins" and still a goner.

  Changed From "Disfellowshipped" to "No Longer One of Jehovah's Witnesses!

  a friend is trying to figure out the approximate date or letter, which indicated a change from the wording of public announcements.. they changed from saying the person has been disfellowshipped to saying that a person was no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.. i thought it was around the time of the bulgaria scandal.. could you help us out to remember when this change took place?

  if we could remember the approximate year, we could look up all the boe's for that year and might find the letter.. many thanks!.

  where in that, does " on probation" come in? somebody that could convince the elders that she was already repentant enough? without being subjected to the loving provision of disfellowshipping?

  I don't remember Halley comet. Well, I do but it is a foggy memory.

  SB: Your memory is good. I had prior memories of Halley's from a film about

  Mark twain who is reported to have seen it twice., it comes every 75 years.

  so , on padre island minus the glorious movie music, even through a telescope it really looked like a cottonseed ball with its dark center. by comparison, I saw Hall several nights in the clear ocean air from the balcony of a house on a pacific island I was able to buid, because I had escaped the wt special pioneer mill in time.

  A sight that would dispel any doubts that there is more to creation than talking snakes.
  I recommend eclipses too.

  In April 8 2024 there will be one over upstate NY. do not miss it.

  SB, very nice to hear your personal success !! Corpus Christi? no wonder you are still worried about it.

  My connection?

  Saw Halley's Comet on Padre island through a telescope, set up by members of the local astronomy club. A real heavenly experience, in a cool sea breeze. but nothing like Hale Bopp.

  Lift up your head. The creator does not live in houses built by men (and woman).

  Self-righteous Watchtower vs the pagan-inspired New Testament.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower refuses to translate stauros as cross despite having no evidence to refute the long-standing ancient belief that jesus died on a cross; and in spite of evidence that the romans were in fact using crosses in executions by jesus' day.

  they shun the word simply because of the use of crosses in ancient pagan religions.. watchtower refuses to refer to their places of worship with the word church because of the word's supposed pagan origin or past usage to refer to pagan places of worship.. now contrast watchtower's self-righteous attitude of avoiding the use of all words having pagan religious usages, with the new testament verse of 2 peter 2:4:.

  certainly god did not refrain from punishing the angels who sinned, but threw them into tarʹta·rus, putting them in chains of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment.. tartarus is a word that had rich pagan mythological meaning when it was written in the nt.

  if the placard above Jesus' could be long enough, perhaps writing the message side by side, rather one language above the other, it could be considered a cross anyway.

  once you nailed that up. you crossed the line.

  If the man is running into the woods, he need immediate medical attention with to his left knee. or his right foot. it is s not medical, it is a doctored image.

  SB: particularly those aware of the immensity of creation, are at awe of the person that must be behind it. with due respect

  we decry the distraction that the talking snake story and the ramifications of it create for the big quest [ion].

  new series "The Good News According to Jesus"

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this concept was leaked here not too long ago, and it was just announced at the next section of the 'annual meeting' on jw broadcasting.

  they allude to it being a half hour series and say that it will cover literally every detail in all four gospels in chronological order through the course of all episodes.

  they also insinuate that it's the most ambitious project yet (i guess making use of that new media production facility).
