am i the only one who can't reconcile new light with the light gets brighter?
if it matters at all.
i bring a candle into my house and light it.
"Your word is a lamp to my foot". All of wt's doctrines are supposed to be originating from that lamp light, the bible. So wt doctrines are filters or lenses (they had a lighthouse once on their cover) interpreting, publishing that altered light. Sometimes wt discovers they installed a wrong filter; Superior Authorities 1929- ~ 1961.
Considering that the original light has such gems as talking snakes to naked, cloned ladies.... what do you expect of the shadow it casts now?
in a recent canadian case i've seen (on line video in threads on here) the wt lawyer says that disfellowshipping isn't actual shunning but only a cutting off of spiritual association.
but what case is it and is there a transcript available on line?.
any other "good" examples from the point of view that it proves wt speak out of both sides of their mouths?.
Par. 19, today's October wt mag study. page 16.
i'm so thankful for sites such as this.
i realise it's our imperfection but god's organization is not always open to 'outside the box' thinkers such as ourselves.
i've been researching dinosaurs and god's reason for not preserving these beasts beyond the flood of noah's day.
Dino's would have been prime candidates to survive the flood, if they butted up against the ark, they had experience in surviving already a previous mass extinction.
Massive flapping wing creatures are proof that evolution is not guided. such un -airworthy creatures could never have found a niche to survive for long, not flying anyway, perhaps short flight in a strong winds on a slope. to display their prowess ?
Just because the green 1961 wt bible had dinos in it (in bible times in Libya, does not make it so. so?
'lead us not into temptation': why pope francis is wrong about the lord's prayer.
m j c warren, lecturer in biblical and religious studies, university of .
pope francis recently announced that he thinks the common english translation of the lord’s prayer is mistranslated.
This might be all wrong. Jesus was led into the wilderness by the H. Spirit. Now people are confronted, inducted into the Spirit Directed Org. If Jesus can be [mis] led. how about jws? very tempting!

Personally I have my serious doubts about the Pterodactyl being resurrected as an airworthy conveyance. Those flapping wings are a flop. I think they were more of a kind of umbrella. Or an early prototype of the angels in revelation with their 6 wings.
i am looking for someone to please clear this up.
there are scriptures like in the 1 corinthians chapter 5 that refer to jesus as “our lord jesus”.
the lord is jehovah, why does that scripture in 1 corinthians refer to the lord as jesus?
"The Lord said to my lord."
your thoughts...how is it that trump can dictate what goes on in other countries?
can anyone from another country come here and tell us what to do...trump is now the president of the world now, uh?.
i'm not really savvy regarding politics but i'm no dummy either...what the heck is going on in the world.... again, any thoughts ?
Imagine if the Capitol were in any smaller city than the capital, Washington DC. It is likely (not liable), that all the foreign embassies would not fit there either. The historic character of Jerusalem would be totally altered, if every claimant bodily moved their embassies there, embarrassing.
ps. Security would be at least three times harder (not 3 times as much) to maintain than in more centrally located Tel Aviv.
i've seen some depressing color schemes at the kingdom and assembly halls in my lifetime, but this one could be the worst.. a family member just sent me an email to tell me she had nice day at the assembly.
she attached a picture of the stage to show me a friend of hers who had a part.
other than the platform itself which had cream carpeting it was nothing but various shades of black!
watch for the LDC, or what [wt] ever, swoop down on that place and have it rebuild, upgraded to become a potentially saleable property. Iron railings? does it have a sloping floor? replace both, volunteers, donations wanted!

Just like Magdeburg times. Gorby
not connected, but was not Magdeburg the place where the Russians hid and buried Hitler's remains?
according to the watchtower:.
who received the ransom payment?.
why did the ransomer need to be paid?.
JWdeepthinker: how about the "children of the resurrection"? they are not children of Adam, inheriting and carrying those dented, faulty bread pan genes forward!
The whole ransom idea is based on the snake talking to the naked lady. Are you seriously believing that kid's level story impinging on humanity?
ps.The wt ransom is complicated, because they insert a class of people, the Armageddon survivors, into the equation. A group that never personally pays the ultimate price, death, therefore needs to slave 1000 years to earn life. For us, the dormant ransom effect, we now live under, extended another < 10058 years. yikes!
