  2. Jehovah's Witnesses observe the Memorial of Christ’s death (also called “the Lord’s Evening Meal” - 1 Corinthians 11:20) because Christians are commanded to. Jesus said to "Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (1 Cor. 11:24) But how often? The Memorial of Jesus’ death is truly a memorial, and memorials are usually observed annually. Additionally, when Jesus was on Earth, Jesus celebrated the Passover with his apostles, and then instituted the Lord’s Evening Meal. Because this meal replaced the Jewish Passover it is appropriate to observe it just once a year. Does Paul's use of the word "often" mean that the Lord’s Evening Meal should be celebrated more often than once a year? Referring to the institution of the Memorial of Jesus’ death, Paul wrote: “As often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives.” (1 Corinthians 11:25, 26) So what did Paul mean here? Did he really mean for Christ's death to be commemorated frequently - more often than once a year? Notice this excerpt from the w03 1/1 p. 31; Questions From Readers; par. 2: "In the context of 1 Corinthians 11:25, 26, Paul was discussing, not how often, but how the Memorial should be observed. In the original Greek, he did not use the word pol·la′kis, which means “often” or “frequently.” Rather, he used the word ho·sa′kis, which means “as often as,” an idiom meaning “whenever,” “every time that.” Paul was saying: ‘Every time that you do this, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord.’"

  4. Jehovah's Witnesses believe salvation is a free gift from God attained by being part of "God's organization" and putting faith in Jesus' ransom sacrifice. They do not believe in predestination or eternal security. They believe in different forms of resurrection for two groups of Christians. One group, the anointed, go to heaven while the other group, "the other sheep" or "the great crowd" will live forever on earth. Basis Jehovah's Witnesses teach that salvation is possible only through Christ’s ransom sacrifice[1] and that individuals cannot be saved until they repent of their sins and call on the name of Jehovah.[2] Salvation is described as a free gift from God, but is said to be unattainable without good works that are prompted by faith. The works prove faith is genuine.[3][4] Preaching is said to be one of the works necessary for salvation, both of themselves and those to whom they preach.[5] They believe that people can be "saved" by identifying God's organization and serving God as a part of it.[6] The Witnesses reject the doctrine of universal salvation,[7] as well as that of predestination or fate. They believe that all intelligent creatures are endowed with free will. They regard salvation to be a result of a person's own decisions, not of fate.[8] They also reject the concept of "once saved, always saved" (or "eternal security"), instead believing that one must remain faithful until the end to be saved.[9] Regarding whether non-Witnesses will be "saved", they believe that Jesus has the responsibility of judging such ones, and that no human can judge for themselves who will be saved. Based on their interpretation of Acts 24:15, they believe there will be a resurrection of righteous and unrighteous people. They believe that non-Witnesses alive now may attain salvation if they "begin to serve God".[10][11] The 'anointed' Based on their understanding of scriptures such as Revelation 14:1-4, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that exactly 144,000 faithful Christians go to heaven to rule with Christ in the kingdom of God. They, with Jesus, will also perform priestly duties that will bring faithful mankind to perfect health and 'everlasting life'.[12]They believe that most of those are already in heaven, and that the "remnant" at Revelation 12:17 (KJV) refers to those remaining alive on earth who will be immediately resurrected to heaven when they die. The Witnesses understand Jesus’ words at John 3:3—"except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"—to apply to the 144,000 who are "born again" as "anointed" sons of God in heaven.[13] They teach that the New Testament, which they refer to as the Christian Greek Scriptures, is primarily directed to the 144,000, and by extension, to those associated with them.[14] They believe that the terms "Israel of God" (Galatians 6:16), "little flock" (Luke 12:32), "New Jerusalem," and "the bride, the Lamb's wife" (Revelation 21:2,9) in the New Testament also refer to the same group of "anointed" Christians.[15][16][17] Jehovah's Witnesses believe that being 'anointed' involves a personal revelation by God's spirit which "gives positive assurance of adoption" to the individual alone.[18] Members who claim to be anointed are not given special treatment by other congregation members.[19] However, only those in the anointed class partake of the unleavened bread and wine at the yearly commemoration of Christ's death, or Memorial. Were all the anointed resurrected to heavenly life in 1918? Jesus Christ is their mediator "CONGREGATION OF GOD" Also called: 144,000 Anointed Body of Christ Bride of Christ Chosen Ones Elect Holy Nation Israel of God Kingdom Class Members of the Household of God Little Flock New Creation New Nation Royal House Royal Priesthood Sanctuary Class Sons of Levi Spirit Begotten Spiritual Israel Spiritual Sons Rebekah Class Elisha Class Elijah Class New Jerusalem Little Flock Lamb's Wife The 'other sheep' and the 'great crowd' Watch Tower Society literature states that Jesus' use of the term "other sheep" at John 10:16 was intended to indicate that the majority of his followers were not part of the 144,000 and would have an earthly, rather than heavenly, hope.[20][21] In the resurrection, those who died faithful to God are included in the 'other sheep' and will receive the "resurrection of the righteous" ("just" KJV) mentioned in Acts 24:15.[22] Those who died without faithfully serving God will receive the "resurrection of the ... unrighteous" ("unjust" KJV). They will be given an opportunity to gain God's favor and join Jesus' 'other sheep' and live forever in an earthly paradise.[23][24] Individuals unfavorably judged by God are not resurrected, and are said to be in Gehenna, which they consider to be a metaphor for eternal destruction.[25] Those of the 'other sheep' who are alive today, some of whom survive through Armageddon without needing a resurrection, are referred to as the 'great crowd'.[26][27] Jesus is not the mediator for the other sheep.

  12. When Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski toured America, he became a celebrity - and boosted Steinway. Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE." When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep Playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato (constant background sound). Together, the Master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized. That's the way it is with Jehovah. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. Our presentation at the door may not be as smooth as we would like. We may not be at ease trying to talk with some of those in our territory that have all the "degrees" on the walls in their homes. We may have to work on the same counsel point in the TM School several times before moving on. But with Jehovah's help (Isaiah 41:13) we succeed. So, the next time we are in one of those situations-----listen carefully. You can almost hear Jehovah's voice whispering in your ear, "Don't quit. Keep trying" and feel his loving arms around you playing the concerto of your life!!!! http://theocraticthoughts.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-concerto-of-life.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheocraticThoughts+%28Theocratic+Thoughts%29

  16. Criminology professor uses new book to claim evangelicals are fueling crime and violence in the US Christian Right think America is 'modern day Sodom and Gomorrah' and prefer vengeance to forgiveness, claims Elicka Peterson Sparks Singles out Rush Limbaugh for wielding disproportionate influence in American public life Claims typical Christian fundamentalist uses religion to feel self-righteous and employs double standards in their thinking and judgment Christianity is to blame for America's high crime rates because its followers believe that the Bible gives God's 'blessing' to violence, a controversial new book claims. The book. by a professor of criminology. claims that at its core Christian ideology is close to Fascism and is 'criminogenic', meaning that it actually causes crime. Fundamentalist Christian ideology has been the inspiration for terrorism and figures like radio host Rush Limbaugh are damaging America by helping 'promote vengeance seeking'. The Christian Right do not even love their country as they think that the US is 'something of a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah'. The provocative theory is likely to raise eyebrows among Christians who see forgiveness as a key part of their faith. But it could explain why the Republican party has moved to the right. Christians who talk about family values are hypocrites as their family values are actually insulating themselves against non-believers, the book says. Professor Peterson Sparks, who has consulted for several documentaries including some for PBS, says that 'at its heart, Christian nationalism includes the language of war, theocracy, and even fascism'. In a chapter titled: 'When did Christians get so mean (again)?', She writes: 'Conservative Christians got mean when they embraced political power as an instrument of religious coercion. 'They do not play well with others, because a significant feature of their ideology holds that others must convert to their views or perish.' The consequences of this have filtered through the whole of society and are seen in the effect of 'get tough' policies like war on drugs. These kind of measures 'emphasize punishment as the primary response to crime'. Having a nuanced view about crime in Christian circles is seen as 'antithetical to true Christianity'. PORTRAIT OF A BELIEVER: WHAT CHRISTIANS TEND TO BE (ACCORDING TO PROFESSOR) Christians are more likely to: admit they get pleasure out of punishing criminals exhibit fear towards a world perceived to be dangerous be mean-spirited toward people who have made mistakes and suffered use Christianity to maintain a feeling of self-righteousness more easily accept unfair and illegal abuses of power by governmental authorities employ double standards in their thinking and judgment behave like zealots believe in social dominance fail to learn from their mistakes and failings One effect of this was the 1976 Supreme Court decision in Gregg v Georgia which reopened the door for states to use the death penalty again. It was passed at a time when the New Christian Right was gaining power and the 'just deserts' way of thinking was prevalent, the book says. Christian beliefs also inhibit funding for programs that deter crime because they do not match up with what the Bible says, especially when it comes to drugs and teenage pregnancy. Professor Peterson Sparks goes into cites numerous passages from the Bible to show that the it is 'rife with violence, particularly violent retribution'. She writes: 'When viewed as the literal word of God, this conveys God's blessing on the use of violence in the fact of opposition to anything perceived as being God's will'. Among the horrific deaths in the Bible are stoning, raped, being thrown into a lake of fire and being cut up with a sword. The ultimate fate of sinners is eternal damnation. The book cites the example of 1 John 3:4: 'Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawless'. According to Professor Peterson Sparks, this makes it easy to justify harsh punishments as it links sinning with crime. It also suggests that punishment is a form of 'violent conflict resolution' that is legitimate. Noah's Ark is cited as another example, which the book describes as the 'mass murder of the entire population' to save Noah, his family and two of each type of animal. The book says: 'We focus on Noah to the exclusion of the entire rest of the population of the world, to the extent that we forget how terrible this story is. 'What kind of a person would God have to be to drown everyone else, including innocent children, animals without an ark ticket, and well, everybody? 'Not so cute when you imagine thousands upon thousand of bobbing corpses.' Among the 45 pages of other examples in the Bible are 1 Samuel 15:3 which reads: 'Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass'. Another example is Revelation 2:22-23 which reads: 'So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of their ways. 'I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds' The book uses all this evidence to build up a portrait of a typical fundamentalist Christian, based on their beliefs. Peterson Sparks, whose published papers include work on domestic violence and sex offender treatment programs, writes that Christians are more likely to admit they get pleasure out of punishing criminals and believe in social dominance, as well as a catalog of other offenses - including behaving 'like zealots'. According to figures from the Pew Research Center, 79.5 per cent of the U.S. population considers themselves Christian, with 26.3 per cent of the whole population calling themselves evangelicals - figures that are among the highest in the world. At the same time there were 372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870. In 2014 America executed 35 people, a figure officially beaten only by Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran. China does not release the number of people it executes, but it is thought be far higher. In the view of Professor Peterson Sparks, Christians in America 'spend more time in the persecution of others than in being persecuted, and (are) amazingly adept at harnessing feelings of persecution to (their) advantage'. Those who suffer great wrongs on Earth are promised great rewards in heaven and 'defeat only strengthens their resolve', she writes. Professor Peterson Sparks insists that she is 'not a rabid hater of Christians' and said she knows many people who have a 'reasoned approach to faith'. She admits that the religious Right are not the majority of the population - but claims they have a 'tremendous impact' nevertheless.

  17. (Zechariah 14:12) “And this is the scourge with which Jehovah will scourge all the peoples who wage war against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot away while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot away in their sockets, and their tongues will rot away in their mouths. It has been speculated in the past that Jehovah might accomplish this by the use of radiation of some sort. Now Jehovah definitely has the ability use radiation if He wished to, but it would take an extremely high dose of radiation to kill instantly, and that high dose of radiation would cook the flesh, not rot it. Today, when someone drowns or has a heart attack, they can be resuscitated several minutes afterward. When someone is killed in a car accident, their organs can be kept on ice and implanted into a recipient many hours later. A dead body takes a couple of days before it starts to rot in a warm temperature, and even longer in cold. The point is: There is still life in them even though they are considered dead. Perhaps Zechariah 14:12 is telling us that when Jehovah judges those to be unworthy of life, that He will take away their life instantly and thoroughly. If that is the case then there would not even be any cellular life left, no more spinning protons, neutrons, and electrons to hold the flesh together. The result of which would be instant decomposition, a complete rot of all soft tissue throughout the body. It would be as if a sculpture made out of little magnets clinging together, were to suddenly lose all of its’ magnetism. The sculpture would instantly fall to the ground in a heap. (Magnet sculptures) But we have a skeleton. And if it would take a couple of seconds for the skeleton to fall over, that would give just a moment of time for the instantly rotted flesh, eyes, and tongue to splash down as rotten liquid goo. The eyes in the sockets of the skull and the tongue in the jaw. What do you think of this hypothesis? :^) Dave

  19. In yet another attempt to restrict religious freedom, Russian authorities have filed a claim to declare the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures to be extremist. Hearings are set to begin on March 15, 2016. Last year, Russian customs officials took an unprecedented step when they denied the importation of these Bibles. This latest step is an irreverent attack on a sacred Christian text. Russian legislation prohibits declaring the Bible to be extremist. However, the Leningrad-Finlyandskiy Transport Prosecutor is justifying his claim by citing the opinion of a person who is unqualified in linguistics. If the prosecutor succeeds in court, the New World Translation could be banned from distribution in Russia. https://www.jw.org/en/news/legal/by-region/russia/claim-nwt-extremist-20160222/
