Do Jehovah’s Witnesses “Witness” Any More?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i see no more preaching.

no more door knocking.

no more car groups.

From what I have seen on facebook JWs are witnessing by facebook alot and e-mail to inactive ones. Keep in mind however this is how many fuiundemental Christians witness. I see JW changing to Televangelizing and private witnessing soon. Possible an online religion with some assemblies once or twice a year

For those of you who have written a book i'm curious. How would you rate Amazon publishing?

1. i'm not really looking to make money that much.

2. I want to publish anonymously.

3. I want to publish for free

I am not to worried about advertising since it's mostly ex-jws and certain others who I am gearing towards. I can worry about getting word out later.

Where have the NWT Bible changed verses to fit their theology ?

by smiddy3 in

i can think of two to start off with .

john 1:1 and luke 23:43 ,what others can you come up with ?.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Most of these 'changed' verses are not changed at all. John 1:1 requires and insertaion of "the". Robert Pryce commented on this very fact awhile ao.

The 'impale' is a word change to keep up with torture stake. (In reality torture stake is valid since a cross is a torture stake)

The aforementioned John 8:1-11 does not deserve an answer!

However the largest places in the 1984 NWT were in the Old Testmanet. The changing of Jeremiah 5:8 to include testicles. The dumbass changing of Job 6:6 from Mallows to 'slimey juice of a marshmellow'.

The insertation of {other} in brakets in the NT is somewhat questionable as in {in union} but since the theology of each book preaches a different Jesus it is hard to harmonize the NT

The insertation of Jehovah into the NT is a half-done job since serveal translations have YHWH in the NT many more times then the Watchtower. The fact is that replacing the word Lord with Jehovah ruins the text sicne it is obvious that the author of the Gospel of John and many Pauline letters are not preaching the same God as YHWH but a higher God.(YHWH is a demierage)

Is There a Higher Conscious

by LetTheTruthBeKnown in

most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.

i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.

here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.

" Not made up stuff like Dark Matter or Energy or String Theory, the list is endless"...

Perhaps you need to read articles from leading astronomers and cosmologests. While all three are technically theories (I would argue dark energy might have proof) they are more reasonable then 'God did it'

But since you think they are wrong let's see you explain how to unify General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. We await your answer.

If you enjoy a challenge, then read this book

by Doug Mason in

if you enjoy a challenge, i recommend this book: mind the gap: how the jewish writings between the old and new testament help us understand jesus, by matthias henze.

fortress press.. one example from the book:.

while there are several individuals in the bible who are said to be anointed, the word “messiah” or “anointed one” is never used in the old testament to designate a future anointed redeemer figure.

Someone never read Daniel.

While you may be quick to point out Daniel phophecies a messah in the time of Judah Maccabee I agree however to the writer that was END TIMES!.

And future generations of Jews including the Essens agreed by applied Daniel to themselves.

BLM ambush two police officers sitting car. Then try to storm hospital saying I hope they die. This is the new left.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

So let me guess. A bunch of police kill black men on duty... BLM formed. (Which is racist since all lives not not just black lives) then BLM attack police etc and hospital etc...

The posters first response.. PUT IT ON THE WEB!

That's how it starts. Why is racism a problem now in 2020 when t two decades ago it was a small scratch... I know why> ^^^^ People reporting racist group activities, thus supporting them inavertantly

One argument I forgot. Any being of higher conciousness then ours didn't start that way. So Jehovah saying let their be light could have only come about by darwinian evolution himself. You cant get away with "God did it!"

If by a higher conciousness you mean string theory or a Grand Unification theory aka the God od Enstein then yes... But a personal god. NO!

How Do You Get to Have A God For A Father?

by fulltimestudent in

the answer is simple, a god must impregnate your mother.. i gave this some thought, as i read the following national geographic article, having had my mind thoroughly impregnated by holy spirit in the 40 years i spent as a temple slave, serving the chief god yhwh and his side-kick jesus, who, unlike me, had been completely begotten by holy spirit.. so with interest, i read about olympias, the mother of alexander the great, who told her son (alexander) that he had been begotten by the chief god zeus, who had turned up on night in her bed and had accepted his advances,.

olympias is an interesting woman.

"YHVH's earthly presence was female, the Shekinah, "

Uh that is a verylate Jewish concept. The book of Proverbs, Wisdon of Solomon and Sirach all written in Hellenistic times have a 'Sophia' between YHWH and humans but the concept of god being female is foriegn then. Earlier YHWH had Asherah (mentioned in Jeremiah) who was worshipped alongside
