Is the Watchtower's idea of preaching what Jesus had in mind?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inwhat kind of preaching was jesus talking about in mathew 24:14?
it seems to me that jesus wanted christians to preach the hope of the resurrection to mankind.
nowhere in the bible, does it say that christians were to preach their own interpretation of bible prophecy as the wts does today.

bible translations
by minstrel ini would like the title of any available bible translations from the original greek/hebrew.
preferably from a scholarly authorship rather than personal 'sect' influences.
also, i would be interested if the translation can be incorporated in a 'parallel' version.. best wishes.

Trinitarians, Did Jesus reveal himself as God?
by ClassAvenger ini'm a person that believes in the trinity, but i have a question.
i know jesus didn't reveal to all the people to whom he preached as god himself, and it was not something that he directly taught (or at least i think he didn't), but i know from what i've read that the disciples knew and taught it.
my question is, did jesus tell them, or did they have this revealed when they were anointed by the holy spirit?

The cross -- new light?
by robhic ini could swear that i read here a while back that the wts was softening their position on the cross.
i searched the different forums but either i am completely mistaken or my search technique sucked.
i found nothing relative.. anyway, can anyone shed some light (new or otherwise.... thanks,.

they do accept blood after all
by wonderer2003 inthought this might interest some of you, sorry me if this page has already been talked about, but i just found it and thought it very interesting....
http://www.stnicholasla.com/blood.htm found here.
the resulting decisions based on this arbitrary classification are breathtaking examples of inconsistency.

Some odd biblical rules.......
by figureheaduk injust got these from a feature on the daily mirror site (www.mirror.co.uk) about strange bible-based rules.
anybody know what the wt's take on any of these are (and if the wt flouts any of them, even though it claims to follow the bible as god's true word).
i know the following quotes probably aren't taken from the nwt version, but i suppose they would be along the same lines........ deuteronomy 21:18-21 has some bad news for wayward sons:if a man have a stubborn and rebellious son... then shall his father and his mother... bring him unto the elders of his city... and all men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die.. .

while this forum questions some w.t.
teachings, it nevertheless defends it vigorously.

All right -- What does God need 144,000 "rulers" for, anyway?
by logansrun inone of the great philosophical conumdrums amongst the vast number of philosophical conumdrums of the watchtower society is this: why would almighty god (or jesus christ) need once earthly, now spiritual "co-rulers" for anyway?
god is not lacking in anything (supposedly).
now, anything means anything, right?
