myelaine,
If God's law is everlasting(as you say):
Can Slavery be practiced today
Can death be a punishment for working on a Sabbath today
Can Infidels be stoned to death today.
Can Unbeleivers be slaughtered
why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?
such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.
surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.

Jesus never said to write anything down because that wasn't the media 2 thousand years ago. Most people couldn't read even 200years ago, jeshe...Only a limited few could read and/or write.
So the most important person in the universe, while on the most important mission, never wrote down anything nor left any tangible evidence of his existence and miracles. Faith is Awesome !!
the jdubs talk about their loved ones or friends leaving jehovah.
how can one leave some one who they never saw, some one who is invisible or some one who never talked to them.. what they mean is they no longer obey the borg so the borg is the same as jehovah.. long live the 8 self licking ice cream popes!!
!.
When I got into Jehovah’s Organization this Big daddy never welcomed me.
When I left , he never bothered to utter a word either.
Well, the saying that "The Invisible and Non-Existent look very much alike “ sounds true.
the jehovah's witnesses believe that jesus christ and michael the archangel are the same person, and blatently ignore numerous verses and passages within scripture which explain that both jesus and michael are two separate persons.this video study (linked below) goes into the intricacies of hebrews chapters 1+2 explaining how the lord jesus and michael are different persons, and looks at the qualities, authority and power at which the lord jesus holds and how it is separate from angels including michael the archangel..
Jesus = Michael
Jesus Not equal to Michael
Why does it matter. Its all middle east Imagination
1 timothy 2:11-15let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness.
i do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence.
for adam was formed first, then eve.
Another similar Bible Gem
1 Corinthians 14:34 Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church
It is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the congregation. (dishonorable – How misogynistic)
And Watchtower bypasses this by allowing women to act in a conversation, indirectly speaking as well as preach in the congregation. This is like paying a traffic violation fine first and then violating the traffic rules. Taking advantage of loop holes.
Despite these misogynistic and male chauvinistic verses, woman are the larger army in any Christendom sect.

The Old Testament, on multiple occasions, specifies that gods law mentioned there is to time indefinite.
How can Jesus void or change it? Isn't he the greatest apostate and rebel then?
Someone please clarify.
quite regularly at meetings jws mocked worldly people and apostates(anyone who had left the "truth") for saying the bible contradicts itself when it is in complete harmony from beginning to end apparently.
can anyone point out some of the contradictions they know of?
they used to laugh at the fact people on the doors would say the bible contradicts itself and when they asked the householder to show them where, they couldn't..
Proverbs 26:
4. Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him.
5. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes
over a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.
having given it some thought, this is my view;.
the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.
there are many here who think they can infiltrate my web-site.
be warned that we administrators of jwtalk call the listed congregation on your application for membership in our site to verify if they know you!.
some of you have slipped through the cracks and got into our site, but rest assured, we will find you out and ban you!.
I was under the Impression that jw.org and all related Holy sites are guarded by Angels.
