  drinking wine in the Kingdom

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something jumped out at me that i never paid attention to while reading further into matt 26...in vs 28, he tells them his blood is to be poured out for the many for forgiveness of sin.

  but note vs 29 but i say to you: i will no menas drink again any of this product of the vine until that day when i drink it new with you in the kingdom of my father.

  cross reference luke 22:18 for i tell you , from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.. what is the point of all of this: matt 26:29 " i drink it new with you " mark 14:25 " drink new in the kingdom of god.

  wow.

  while not a pew survey, i found these to be surprising results.

  " a recent yougov poll explores americans' attitudes toward 35 religious groups, organizations, and belief systems.

  I have to agree with Jan on this one Slim,

  To me he was saying that JWs would equate themselves with the early Christians.

  For what it`s worth .

  JW Broadcasting - simply a platform for narcissists?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing i notice from sitting through a number of broadcasts is just how much these guys love their titles.

  it's always brother such-and-such, member of the gb, helper to the teaching committee, etc.

  it's never simply brother such-and-such, a local elder with such-and-such congregation.. it seems to me the witnesses are pretty quick to pick up on catholics who call their priests father, which at the end of the day is in much the same vein simply a title.. i suspect these titles point to a huge amount of narcissism of the part of those who revel in such titles, certainly it doesn't seem to fall in line with christ's advocation that the greatest amongst you should be be the least.

  I completely agree with eyeslice post.

  Even children if they are publishers and do D2D witnessing and are baptized are ordained ministers.

  One must be a member to be disfellowshipped.

  ut they define a JW as someone who reports preaching time, regardless of whether or not the person is baptized
  
  

  Confused ?

  who isn`t.

  Then again they probably have a third option which I`ve missed.

  Since when has Jehovah`s earthly organization taken any direction from Satan`s control of this world / as Jehovah`s witnesses have so loudly proclaimed for so many years ?

  The Governments of all country`s and there agencies political , religious and otherwise ,are all under the control of Satan the Devil and still are according to current doctrinal policies of the Jehovah`s Witness religion.

  Correct me if I am wrong.

  And the Governing Body members of the Jehovah`s Witness religion are directing their members to OBEY the directions of Satans pawns of this system of things.

  TAKE NOTE JEHOVAH~S WITNESSES .

  Who raised Jesus from the dead?

  by Blotty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have seen arguments surrounding jesus' resurrection being proof of "the trinity" - now while in some cases it's a good argument the evidence for it remains very weak.

  (bible quotes are from the nwt but other bibles are referenced, use whichever you please) this following version of it is a good example.. "the bible indicates that all [persons] of the trinity was involved in jesus’ resurrection.

  galatians[1:1] says that the father raised jesus from the dead.
