I'm tired of the org misquoting scholars to support there heretical NWT

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
day after day jws are constantly fighting with me over the internet that the nwt is the most accurate translation and then they prove it by quoting scholars from the watchtower magazines.

they tell me i'm biased and there rendering of john 1:1 as "a god" is approved by scholars but i have researched there so called "supporters" and i have found they have tooken what they said out of context to twist the scriptures to there liking.. .

dr. julius r. mantey (who is even recognized by the watchtower as a greek scholar since they quote his book on page 1158 of their kingdom interlinear translation): calls the watchtower translation of john 1:1 "a grossly misleading translation.

144,000 are only born again disproved by 1 verse.

2. beliefs
1 john 5:1 says everyone (not just special people) but everyone who believes that jesus is the son of god is born of god.

born of god is the same thing as born again.

the jw theology is so easy to refute i dont see how anyone can read the whole nt and still be one..

Giving the Pharisees a JW mindset to expose the folly of JWs' anti-blood arguments.
by Island Man in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
parallels have often been drawn between the pharisees' condemnation of healing on the sabbath, with jws' condemnation of life saving blood transfustions.

in a question on y!a, i attempt to hightlight the folly of jw anti-blood arguments and reasoning by equipping the pharisees with comparable arguments for refuting healing on the sabbath.

since the pharisees are portrayed as being wrong for condemning jesus' healing on the sabbath, then giving them jw-anti-blood-like arguments and reasoning should hopefully help jws to see that such reasoning used by them is wrong.

Studied with JW grandma for 3 years and went to meetings, I have now seen the light!
by yogosans14 in
1. jw
2. experiences
im new here and im 17, going to turn 18 in 1 week.

i studied with my gradma the bible teach book and went to meeting with her and other relatives (considering most my relatives are jw except my parents) and i believe in all of it because i never read the bible for myself.

after reading the gospels i started noticing contradictions in the jw doctrine like when jesus said many would dine with the patriachs in the kingdom of heaven (yet only 144,000 jws can) which would seem odd considering the fact he adressed this to more then the apostles.
