spinning off from another thread, have jesus' teachings been less than universally helpful to mankind?
how do we measure if a particular philosophy is helpful or harmful?.
i am going to use the "universal morals" listed here.
So Jesus who is god supposedly doesn't have the power to prevent humans whom he created from altering his words??? So god can create the laws of physics and strike people dead but can't use his powers to preserve his word? Am I in a fxxxing twilight zone. Please be logical

But j gnat Jesus was suppose to be god... he would understand the need for accuracy and possibly see the need to record life saving words 100 percent correctly. That would be the logical thing to do as a godman. It doesn't matter what was an obsession or not. If he was god or the son of God would thus guy have just done the intelligent then and record these things accurately? I mean it just seems like common sense

Jesus gave zero fxxxx about you and your feelings. He never wrote anything down and never confirmed which words written about him were true.
He just left it all up to uineducated people to figure it oput.
Maybe he wasn't who he was suppose to be. He never spoke to people outside of the desert so he obviously didn't care about the rest of humanity until thousands of years worth of humans died.
What an awesome guy

Why didn't mighty Jesus just write a book himself so this multiple story hodge podge of magic and lies we have today wouldn't confuse people? That would be the real question
****for those only interested in the jw part just skip own to part 2.***************.
so i just got back last night from a 16 day trip to jamaica.
our purpose in going was:.
" Was your wife not a JW when she lived in Jamaca? You didn't mention her family shunning you while you were there." She was not while she was there. They had an Aunt who was and died because she refused blood so most of that side of her family hate witnesses and think they are whackadoodles.
The brother I saw at the resort was the reason I was asking the question about anyone else familiar with him.
He brought his son and his daughter in law on the trip. Last I checked she was disfellowshipped and I was wondering if she was reinstated or if he ignored the rules LOL

I dont think that image in anyway demonstrates how Christ words or Christianity have been positive for African Americans in the south. I am thinking there was not much thought that went into that statement

" Helpful - if you're an African American living in southern USA. Harmful - if you're a JW waiting for his imminent return."
Can you please explain this? I am very interested.
after 6 weeks of hiatus from our home study we are finishing ch 15-see good for all your work.. throughout the last part of the chapter it goes i er how to view secular work--keep it simple and ministry first before work.
so the elder told me of a bro who went to a tech school for welding but got the real welding education with the siciety and is now 2nd in class welder at either bethel or the farm.
another bro went to bethel for computers and is now makes a ton if money oart time and can pioneer (jehovah made it all happen)...then elder we t into how 73% of kids cant get jobs after college and it isnt really an education but mostly partying.
Just ask the many people like myself if going to bethel ensures you training for the future...
I went to a tech school for computers as well. I went to Bethel with that training and they knew about it. Instead they put me in cleaning and recycling and ultimatelu ended up in office furniture where I learned to clean panel walls and spend hours a day picking har out of desk chair wheels with 5 other brothers. It is a crap shoot. I left and went to school after Bethel and then I was able to support myself. This is the story of far more than 73% of Bethelites I know.
Just look at the ones you know I bet they arent using the skills they learned at Bethel unless they have managed to open a cleaning company.
so *if* god wrote the bible (or directed people on what to write), he must have wanted people to read it and follow it.. so why did he confuse the languages at the tower of babel and then have his ot books written in only one of the languages?.
if people couldn't read it, they couldn't follow it.
if they had nothing else to follow, the people inclined to believe in higher powers would have to try to figure that out for themselves and end up with various beliefs.. so god is to blame for any false religion and worship of false gods.
Common sense applied to ancient foolishness wins again
