  Jesus ransom or the sanctification of God's name the most important?

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some time ago, during the mid-week meeting, the sanctification of god’s name was being discussed (chapter 4 in ‘god’s kingdom rules’).

  in paragraph nine we read that in the early period the jw’s viewed jesus ransom sacrifice as the most important teaching of the bible.

  then they said they gave overbalanced importance to jesus, and nowadays, they say the sanctification of god’s name is the most important thing in the bible.. .

  Yesuon Kristo Bwana Wangu , there are many arguments. It takes too long now for me to give you some. You can have a look on Beroeans.net on which this item is also discussed. Also have a look at discussthetruth.com

  Take care.

  They do "spiritual charity".......... via their "spiritual paradise" ..... giving "spiritual food".....

  all funded by very mundane money....

  we are almost in 2017 and some 3 to 4 years have passed since the release of the 2013 revised nwt.

  also, i am supposed to believe much money has been spent on rto's.

  and as the end is even closer, i should have access to the "best translation ever" in my own language...how else can i be saved???.

  So question is: WHEN IS THE NWT IN DUTCH AVAILABLE, be it in hard copy or just digital? What is holding them back?

  Saw it in The Netherlands. Not sure what the purpose is other than just showing what this religion is about. It is not a regular Philippines family, I guess middle to upper class.

  Christmas is Coming!

  by Drifting Away in

  so, this will be a time of much confusion.

  being a born in, and wanting to celebrate my first christmas is confusing, nerve wracking, and difficult to comprehend.

  how have others dealt with there first christmas after leaving?

  That is what I would recommend. Either visit others or invite others. Start small and do what you like to do, not out of revenge against WT. Whether Christmas should be celebrated or not, it is a season to spend more time with family, friends and do (more) good to others (your neighbour).

  Enjoy!

  Another Outright Lie Published 2/17 WT

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this info is from the article "who is leading god's people today" feb 17 study edition.. to help them disseminate bible truth in various languages, zion’s watch tower tract society was legally incorporated in 1884, with brother russell as president.

  * he was an outstanding student of the bible, and he fearlessly exposed as false such doctrines as the trinity and the immortality of the soul.

  he discerned that christ would return invisibly and that “the appointed times of the nations” would end in 1914.. pretty sickening article overall about how badass the gb is, though this little gem is printed as well, paragraph 12. the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

  Jehovah Witnesses sects flock to Hudson Valley Town

  interesting article regarding the properties owned by jw's and other sects.. shawangunk - this ulster county town, with a ridge of quartz mountains rising 2,000 feet, is a mecca for rock climbers.

  in recent years, religious groups have also begun flocking to the mid-hudson valley municipality of 15,000 residents, putting down roots and scooping up tax breaks.. in 2015, the 29 shawangunk properties with religious non-profit status were worth $148 million, up 85 percent since 1999.. “our town is nearly 30 percent exempt,” said town tax assessor curt schoeberl.

  “in the last five or 10 years, the largest tax-exempt group’s growth is religious.
