  2. friends

  alexander janneaus ruled (and also served as high priest) in jerusalem between 103 and 76 bce.

  the books of maccabees provide information for the start of this historical period, brought to an end by herod the great now archaeological evidence has emerged in jerusalem of his murderous reign.

  this times of israel article diuscusses the evidence and how the story was put together.

  If YHWH was real, why did he allow these atrocities?

  Lets presume he is real. He himself commanded genocides for silly and bizarre reasons. Then why wouldn’t he sit back and enjoy yet another atrocity committed by another King.

  When did Cook, the new GB member, start claiming to be anointed, and what are the implications?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  kenneth cook was a "helper" in the writing department, which is apparently a role for those of the great crowd.

  watchtower 15/10/15 p.3 states that helpers are of the great crowd.

  "since 1992, the governing body has appointed experienced, mature christian elders to help its committees carry out their work.

  Claiming to be anointed is 100% fraud or 100% self deluded. Any guy who is in top hierarchy of WT and who claims to be anointed is a total fraudster.

  Pope Francis recently compared the procedure (ABortion) to “hiring a hitman to resolve a problem.

  What does the Pope say about the Catholic church that burned people alive for "Apostasy" , drowning women terming them as "Witches" and Killing people of other religions terming them as "Holy crusades"

  This is true for the Bible also, which has absurdities from cover to cover.

  Those awkward magazines

  by Addison0998 in

  i’m sure we all remember those really weird, awkward magazines we were expected to place in service.

  and it was before we are had the website or the thing on the back to fall back on.

  imagine being a 12 year old girl, and having to place magazines on god’s view of pornography, sex, homosexuality.

  Many times I would feel so silly when distributing (Selling once upon a time) those magazines.

  I would think to myself. SO the Almighty god gets Watchtower to publish these magazines and made us to distribute these to save people. And people should take them, read and get converted else they would die in Armageddon. Wouldnt god have a better plan ?

  Perhaps those silly and rational thoughts later blossomed into an Apostasy in me. I commend myself for that

  How The Heavenly Kingdom Of Jesus Differs From The Earthly Kingdom Of David

  by Littleleslie in

  2. bible

  how the heavenly kingdom of jesus differs from the earthly kingdom of david.

  had you ever wondered if there was a difference between the rulership of jesus in heaven and the promised davidic kingdom that was to come upon earth?

  this earthly kingdom was to be ruled by a descendant of adam and eve as the davidic heir of this kingdom.

  The Sufficiency of Christ - Salvation

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?

  this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.

  the sacrifice which Christ made for ourselves

  WHy cant god fix things without this horrible and gruesome death of Christ- termed as a sacrifice by Christians
  

  I dont take that as a Sacrifice. If it was a sacrifice, what was the tangible outcome ? How did it make humans better ?

  In Singapore all JW literatures are banned. There are a few JWs though, who secretly congregate in a home and conduct very low profile meetings , prepared to pretend as if that was just a get together, in case the authorities would conduct an inspection anytime.

  In that meeting after the rutuals, they then decide where the next meeting would be, in a different place.
  

  If a JW wants to witness to an unknown person, they would build a very trusted relationship first before they preach, fearing they might report to the authorities. So much of Protection from Jehovah and his angels to do the most important work in this universe.

  One of the main factors was you're not born knowing that God exists, someone tells you that he exists. How do they know? They read it in a book. How did the writers of the book know? They say that God told them. How do we know God told them? The writers say so. This means that to believe in God you actually have to have faith in men.

  Well said Onager!!! I will save this
