Sinning against the Holy spirit is an Unforgiving Sin - Bible

So you can sin against Jah and it will be forgiven ?

Does this make any sense at all ?? According to JWs, Holy Spirit is Jah's Active force. How one can sin against this.

Moreover, according to the above Bible verse (And JW Understanding) this Holy spirit is more powerful than Jah itself. Absolute nonsense.

Craziest Speculations You’ve heard about the end and paradise

by Addison0998 in

we’ve all heard them all our life.

my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.

oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

sir82, Yeah right. What about the bone chilling Arctic Poles and bone dry deserts ? May be the less Spiritual would be driven out there ?

OR Possibly Jah would reset the whole earth to be at 21 Deg C then.

Modern appliances working - Possibly jah would use his ancient magics to keep the turbines running by themselves and Produce enough Electricity

Good Speculations, even while an apostate.

When we are out in FS in a car group, and come across a Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood, have heard sisters say that they will choose to live in that home in the new world.

(Obviously, as per their cult thinking, the current owner of that home would have been destroyed in Armageddon. )

JEHOVAH - The biggest racist in history!?

by stuckinarut2 in

many people like to boast about “jehovah being loving and impartial toward all”.

there are even scriptures that say words to that effect.. however, if we look at just his actual conduct and actions , and not accept the words supposedly written by his apologetic “bible writers”, the facts tell us something else!.

firstly, he chose one special nation and race of people.

Drearyweather, can we decide upon a single case, instead of the Multiple genocides in the Bible

Do you think the Stoning of a man to death is Completely justified for working on a Sabbath day ?

My 2 cents

Numbers 15:32-36

32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.Numbers

When I was in the cult, I was told that WT invented the multi Language Translation device to translate its Magazines into numerous languages and IBM was constantly bargaining with the WT to buy it.

This was in the year 2000.

Jesus—a real, historical person

by Ireneus in

jesus was a real and historical person (not the way jws or the rest of the people think him to be) because of the following historical facts:.

1) the fact that the most influential political establishment of that time (roman empire) was convinced that jesus’ name would sell to suit their political agenda (to promote slavery) shows that jesus was as historical as roman empire itself; hence they implanted slavery-friendly verses into the bible as though spoken by jesus (such as mathew 5:39, 41; 24:45 ..etc) this was in contrast to the real personality jesus really was—he was a man of courage, who ‘walked alone to do what is right if those invited refused to accompany him.’ when his family and disciples were fond of sleeping, his delight was to spend early morning hours alone, in meditation, with god to the extent he could say he was “one” with qualities of god.

(mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2; 10:30) such a person would naturally be too famous and too crowd-pulling against whom even the influential people were helpless even when they were whipped out of the temple which reminds us of “hollywood rambo style” merely because of his moral authority (not that he had any supernatural powers to perform miracles).. 2) similarly, emerging religion (apostate christianity) too knew they could misuse the name of jesus to serve its commercial agenda.

EverApostate

Jesus might have been a man who probably might have rebelled and killed pathetically by Romans. Thats it.

All miracle stuff are Extra fittings to portray him as divine.

This Jesus Story is written 40 years after his Supposed death, took another 200 years to compile it and took another 1500 years to spread to the world, after the invention of the Printing press.

Too sloppy, if this was really God's plan.

Why NO bibles??

by stuckinarut2 in

i know we have all said it before, but it simply blows my mind that the jws doing cart work do not have bibles on the cart to give out to interested ones!.

how can they say they are "bible students" trying to share the "bibles message" and not give out bibles!?.

other christian groups take the commission to share the bible seriously!

EverApostate

Perhaps they believe that the Bible contains more Evil than their published magazines.
