The Narrow Path Ministries

Hi Paidion, I stand corrected. Though the term "all" can denote "all kinds", still your point is taken. However, the basic point that Jesus "draws"; if he indeed "draws all " this would include "all sorts", therefore, at least to my mind, it needs to be somewhat elastic in order to break through var...

I enjoyed this breakdown as well. I will probably watch it as time allows, as I am a very auditory person and get more out of hearing. I once described my theory on the Ransom to a friend of mine as follows: The Ransom is God's Master Stroke. No matter who you are or what kind of person you are, the...

Hi Swift, I think if it is as you say, then the proper course would be to find a mature Christian whom they respect, but certainly no one that is a good buddy or that could not be impartial, and lay everything out on the table. Get that person's input. If they are as troubled as you are, then I thin...

Your last point is a good one. I have often thought this when going round in circles with respects theological discussion. My wife said something to me once that was probably the biggest slap in the face (no doubt needed) that she could have given me. We were talking about the angry atheist crowd th...

Hi Homer, I am not sure who you were directing that at, the OP or just the discussion in general. But I would agree with you. I suppose the "other side" would say "It's not greed, it's a felt need." However, I think my thinking is more along the lines of, asking for money is a last resort , not a fi...

Hi Swift, Hmmmm, well, I guess all I can offer is what I said before. If what you are saying is accurate, then it does appear as though there is some subterfuge involved here. If I or my wife were making 40.00 per hour (and we live in Washington State which is a very expensive place to live), we nev...

Greetings, Tell us what you really feel, Dwight. :lol: Anyway, I tend to agree with Dwight's take, although I am not sure that the behavior rises to Matt. 18 territory. Is there fraud or slander involved? Or is it just irresponsibility? I agree that asking for money when you live in a comfortable ho...

Hi Paidion, No, :lol: it was THIS site. I had tried to reply to you but the screen froze and a "pause" button icon appeared in the middle of the screen. Weirdest thing. I've read the Moyle letter in the past. The WT Organization in it's history is about as textbook a case of mass-movement dynamics a...

Wow, just had a really glitchy thing happpen with the site! Anyway, Hi Paidion, I am aware of the Knoch/Russell correspondence. It may interest you to know that the WT Society entered an agreement with Concordant Publishing Concern to print and distribute their Concordant Literal Translation, around...

Hi Chip, If you've read this site for a while, you know that I was raised a JW and no longer attend. Having said that, your question/comment reminded me of a quote I read once, which I will share below. Whatever one may think of CT Russell, founder of the Watchtower Society, I always found his belie...
