  now today this is of course a non-issue.

  the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

  in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.

  Tony Morris was right

  by wolverines in

  1. social
  2. current

  i have no love loss for the gb or religion and this is not an apologist attempt.

  in fact i hate the religion and the gb.

  but i watch night after night young kids who's minds have been corrupted by the propaganda and dogma that modern college's are teaching them.

  So if Genesis 1 is poetry (Only verse 27 is paralleism btw)

  then chapter 2 and 3 and 4 are prose.

  Chapter 5 links geneologies to Noah and Luke 3 agrees with them (Well except for one name)

  btlc quotes a 1976 book still claiming 49000 years (I think the idea was to conicide with the jubilee.)

  In 1985 however the creation book said the 'days' were eons. I think the 1984 resonng book did too.

  So what happened between 76 and 84 in Brooklyn? Didn't they suddenly beieve in other galaxies all of the sudden?

  What was Jesus "anointed" as?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it is illogical to say that “jesus was anointed as christ”.

  that’s like saying that “jesus was anointed as anointed”.

  the question that needs to be asked is: “what was jesus anointed as?”.

  Ok althogh you claim it is illogical many early christian sects believed in Jeus as a man until age 30 when he was anointed with 'the Christ'. As his death he 'entrusted his spirirt' (of Christ') back to God.

  This is because the verse quoted from Ps.2:7 says that this is my son TODAY have I begotten you.

  Anders that is the problem. Liberal churchs might not believe in literal Adama and Eve but Jesus did.

  Paul did for sure.

  Also the old earth creationism that JWs and Liberal churchs push is debunked by Exodus 20:11- For in six days the LORD/YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.

  What's Wrong with the Watchtower?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.

  "overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.

  the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

  The biggest issue for ME is their denial of evolution. From there that is the problem

  The Characterization of most Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Mr.Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after years of being with jws you start to see a certain developmental characterization of most jws, particularly from elders who have the most power in each congregation.

  .

  the ideology follows along the route of holding up a white sheet over the entire organization, as well each identified individual member (brothers and sisters) which no doubt most jws will inevitably exploit toward themselves.. i personally recognized what hypocrisy was at young age from seeing and being around jws at the kingdom halls and what they were like away from the halls.. there is forced pretentiousness at play which comes out by jws.. having being reminded repetitively that god almighty sent his only begotten son to redeem their sins probably had some relevant connection.. there was no question to the fact that jws are associated with delusions, anxiety, fear, ignorance, subsided with prejudice against others who are not recognized as being active jws .. we are the most righteous chosen ones as it were and that self recognizance goes deep into the jws's consciousness in their daily living.

  Today is differant from my childhood 80s/90s.

  Now I would say there are 3 groups of JWs

  1:PIMO They will surface after COVID

  2. Older witnesses .. Tired but firm no no other life. (Morons) don't help people over 60 to escape! They will not be able to handle it. (My opinion)

  3. Young witnesses 0-40 But wait... what about 40-60?

  Oh yeah very few... check it out... ether they flow with the younger group or most are POMI.Sad
