  Where was the dead body of Jesus? Did the disciples disappear it?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am currently an skeptic, but i have to admit that i can't assure that all the stuff of early christianity was false.. for instance, we know that the genuine letters of paul were written before the destruction of jerusalem.

  so, paul affirmed that jesus resurrected, though he was not there when it supposedly happened.

  but, if jesus did not resurrect, why didn't the jews expose this falsehood?.

  Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

  when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

  this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

  Of course I can defend the teachings since they are bible based. I just don't care to do so as I am so tired of the Bible.

  Why does everything have to follow the first century model? What made them right?

  The bible is about this person said this or that or did something and we are forever using it as an example.

  Boring!!!

  have you guys asked yourself that question?

  what if the gb decided that "new light" revealed to them that disfellowshipping was wrong and they would do away with it for current dfd members as well...... .......16 years of my life.

  would i welcome my family back?

  I would shun the JWs as there is no value in them.

  What about Willis Bentley whom I heard that he left because the Writing and/or Service dept did want him to write his own talks.

  wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

  Elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  isn't it amazing that the elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp on a letter from new york or whatever branch, than they are to the people they know and have known for years in their own congregation?.

  when you think about that, the reason is that they get their power from that rubber stamp.

  that is what appointed them, and that is what can unappoint them.

  Those Near Death Experiences are simply the brain hallucinating or dream.

  As for these dead people communicating and UFOs, I will believe in it when I experience it.

  It is all about their paranoia toward people searching for Jehovah's Witnesses on the net.

  They want to ingrain in people a simple and easy way to remember where to find them rather than using a search engine.

  They are afraid of what people will find. Give them two letters and a domain.
