  14 Evidence of angelic assistance.

  In the german version they replaced the word "Evidence" with the word "Indication".

  Why does the german branch translates this word not exactly???

  Do they know, that there is no evidence for angelic assistance???

  14 Anzeichen für die Unterstützung durch Engel. Heute hat die leitende Körperschaft die gewaltige Aufgabe, eine internationale Predigttätigkeit zu beaufsichtigen, an der sich über acht Millionen Verkündiger beteiligen. Warum ist diese Tätigkeit so erfolgreich? Unter anderem, weil Engel daran beteiligt sind. (Lies Offenbarung 14:6, 7.) In vielen Fällen haben Verkündiger bei Personen vorgesprochen, die gerade um Hilfe gebetet hatten.* Auch das allgemeine Wachstum des Predigt- und Lehrwerks, und das trotz heftigen Widerstands in einigen Ländern, war nur dank übermenschlicher Unterstützung möglich.

  Anthony Morris - The Higher Education Broadcast

  by pale.emperor in

  2. beliefs

  last night i had jw broadcasting on in the background while i was working, i like to keep up to date with their crap.

  which is strange because when i actually was a jw i hated reading or watching their material.. anyway, on the streaming section, anthony morris comes on screen telling me that higher education is bad and "the better the university, the greater the danger".

  i never would have believed it if i hadn't seen him say it myself.

  "We wont need doctors or lawyers after armageddon, but we WILL need carpenters and plumbers!!".

  If that is true, then any person who survived Armagedon would be directly perfect?

  Is not taught that the survivors slowly go to perfection?

  Knows Anthony Morris what the slave-class (as a member of this class) teaches?

  Oh - I am so stupid - Jesus will be our (not for me as bird feed) doctor

  What was the context of this picture? Was the study about dressing appropriately or did the conductor just pull that question out of his ass?

  GB asks every JW to give Putin their home address

  by MrHappy in

  1. social
  2. current

  jw's around the globe have been encouraged to write letters to putin and the russian government.

  they are expected to give their personal details on the envelope.

  i appreciate that this might be normal when writing to your own government if they are tolerant, but is this not a bit strange that the gb want to give putin the address of every jw in the world?

  8.000.000 Letters and stamps.

  Let say - 0,7 Euro for 1 letter.

  5.600.000 Euro for this campaign.

  Would Jesus waste all this money for this campaign?

  Or would he instruct his disciples to feed the poor and hungry?

  Spiritual food from the org on the same level as the Bible?

  by CitizenofEarth in

  2. beliefs

  hello to you all again.. i just told my father:"be carefull that you do not put the so called spiritual food at the same level, or on the same pedestal, as the bible.

  it is clear to me that they are not.

  " to me, at the moment, this is self evident.

  ...Funny how they say study in the Insight Book will provide accurate knowledge...

  This is really funny. But the average JW will put the Insight Book above the bible.

  
  

  Ask a JW the following question:

  Is Luke's presentation in the bible correct and the JWs are wrong? or

  Is Luke's presentation in the bible not correct and the JWs have it right?

  
  

  *** it-2 p. 130 Judas ***
  Luke’s presentation of this incident evidently is not in strict chronological order...

  It's about Judas:

  *** it-2 p. 130 Judas ***
  Immediately Judas left the group. A comparison of Matthew 26:20-29 with John 13:21-30 indicates that he departed before Jesus instituted the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal. Luke’s presentation of this incident evidently is not in strict chronological order, for Judas had definitely left by the time Christ commended the group for having stuck with him; that would not fit Judas, nor would he have been taken into the “covenant . . . for a kingdom.”—Lu 22:19-30.

  I would say personally say that the person chose to disassociate or formally remove themselves as a witness. I would indicate that Paul said not to even eat with a man that was once called your brother. I would also indicate that Jesus stopped his association with Judas when he excused him from the lord's evening meal before his betrayal of the Christ.

  That's, what he really said:

  (1 Corinthians 5:911) 11 But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.

  Nothing about a lovely person - leaving the religion. Not one word.

  And nothing about the word "once" (once called your brother. Paul speaks of the present here - not of the past).

  I would indicate, that Jesus doesn't excused Judas from the lord's evening meal.

  (Luke 22:19-23) 19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in YOUR behalf. 21 “But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table. 22 Because the Son of man is going his way according to what is marked out; all the same, woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!” 23 So they started to discuss among themselves the question of which of them would really be the one that was about to do this.

  That's, what the bible says in Luke.

  
  

  That's, what the WT-leaders tell the JWs:

  
  

  *** it-2 p. 130 Judas ***
  Luke’s presentation of this incident evidently is not in strict chronological order...

  If the bible doesn't fit into there doctrine - the bible is the "problem".

  This week's wt paragraph 13 and 15 free will

  13 All of us have freedom of choice regarding associations, styles of dress and grooming, and entertainment. However, our freedom could become “a cover for doing wrong” if we chose to become slaves of our own fleshly desires or if we adopted the disgraceful fads and trends of the world. (Read 1 Peter 2:16.) Instead of using our freedom “as an opportunity to pursue fleshly desires,” we want to be determined to make choices that help us to heed the admonition: “Do all things for God’s glory.”—Gal. 5:13; 1 Cor. 10:31.

  15 One of the limitations on our freedom is that we must respect the right that others have to make their own decisions in life. Why? Since we all have the gift of free will, no two Christians will always make exactly the same decision. This is true even in matters that involve our conduct and worship. Remember the principle found at Galatians 6:5. (Read.) When we recognize that each Christian must “carry his own load,” we will respect the right that others have to use their own gift of free will.

  Who can explain why the "Two Witness" rule is wrong, in the simplest term?

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the legalese being tossed around, and the expert manipulation on the part of the wtbts, who can explain why the "two witness" is being perverted by the wtbts?

  i don't care if you're a bible believer and want to approach this from a biblical standpoint, or if you simply use logic and reason.

  how would you explain this subject to a j-dub, or even a non-dub?.

  The 2-witness-rule ist the "truth".
  

  The "truth" is the truth (for a JW).

  As we watched during the last ARC session #54, no JW can accept,
  that the "truth" has to be changed. If the "truth" must be changed, it wasn't the truth.

  It's like talking with JW's about their doctrines - it's like talking to a wall.

  If they change the 2-witness-rule for the ARC - they admit, that the past 65 years the "truth" (about the 2-witness-rule) wasn't the truth.
