  Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?

  by Fisherman in

  “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..

  Fm: Remember how Jesus told Peter to feed his sheep and Jesus wasn’t only referring to Peter.

  Yeah, Wt writers for one, do not fit into the category of those that obey that triple command to the F&DS.

  wt is the only religion that forbids the sheep The "one flock" to partake, to feed on the emblems. yet

  These sheep are the 12 tribes of Israel, who are in the New Covenant, out of which the sealed 144 000 come. read it in Rev 7, 1-8.
  
  wt is hiding the 12 pearly gates, access to the water and the trees of life's harvest. wt is not feeding the sheep. is too cheap to feed the sheep.

  watchtower inc can not possibly be the F&DS.

  The scriptures warn against slaves in Governing positions. Beware of the awl.

  beware the rise of corporate rituals designed to manipulate employees.

  "companies are increasingly looking to engender loyalty by tapping into our evolved need to belong.

  but the emotional costs of bonding sessions and other techniques can be high and the sense of belonging false, warns jonathan r goodman" .

  from New Scientist Magazine who should know. goodies by goodman.

  Think of the ridiculous wt ritual to dress up for home sessions, complete with short wt studies, without paragraph reading, because members watched their summer program, perhaps at night? .

  wt inc? the gallopy gallopy machine.

  Do you believe that this life is all there is

  the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.

  what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.

  Fm: No proof = No faith.

  right. where is the proof in those stories? where is the "evident demonstration" it happened then and can be done now? Hebr. 11:1 ? so,

  by definition,- requiring acceptance of the talking snake saga -, is not faith, face it, its credulity. The father can do better than that. imho enJoy

  Valid question. In the story, all the resurrected ones came back to the same kind of life, even after having broken the life/genetic line to A&E's faulty one. "children of the resurrection" Even Jesus displayed a mortally wounded sarkos.

  Is there a different, not carbon based life, information based consciousness possible? yes, even likely with trillions of planets out there.

  Did the universe, life here create itself? no. Has that energetic, demonstrably eternal Father/ mother LIFE figure reached back down here? , let us see real evidence, now, besides old, fading stories of different flavour, aka religions.

  let us welcome back Dorcas. again., and Eutychus, who was bored to death by the talk of a first century Governing Body helper aka P.o.T. (nothing new here) enJoy.

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  If the creator of this immense universe we live in had any interest in this controversy, he would have never allowed this confusion to exist in the scriptures. imho. ---and conveniently

  The truth stays the same as Jehovah and Jesus never change : from GodBeliever

  Yeah, the name means: He is ever changing to whatever He wants/needs to be? rotating the 4 faces, eagle, man, lion and bull? or lying bull----? twisting neck, arm and scripture's meaning? ?

  all man-made concepts from A-Z.?

  the future will tell. enJoy.

  waton, I don't know French, except for a few French words. But according to Google, I learned that "jusqu'à quel profondeur?"

  Disillusioned JW: The word "touche" to me carried a kind of dismissive message, but I wanted to have the fact that in the story, "Jesus" never used the official name for the deity in his prayers to sink in deeply.

  We are supposed to follow His example, and Wt's adherents really really cheapen the Most High's designation, by the hundreds of times it is kicked around in meetings, conversations. worship my foot.

  Jesus made known the name, namely the meaning , majesty, but never mentioned it himself. well,

  to "Satan" perhaps, during the kingdom temptation scene: "You must worship your god------ alone---"

  can someone explain why a 'Y", oh my, is in the hebrew writing of the divine name, if hebrew only had consonants in writing? "Y" , or ypsylon is a pronounced vowel in many languages, not a substitute for a "J". Is this a quirk of the english translations only?

  I see the Son and/or Father issue resolved when you see a 3D relief of J letters, superimposed on each other, like in an ornamented antique bible, one clear J on a bigger basic J.
