Jehovah, as shown by the Organization and the Old Testament, is more evil than Satan.
Jehovah sends the witnesses to preach false prophecies as a test of loyalty.
at first i laughed when i saw this video but then i got sad why?
because that could've been me 2 years ago.
a horrified face about a man-made bogeyman.

according to scripture god would not let his name be used without a form of respect.
disrespecting it would result in death itself!
some days ago i thought: you know what?
Marcion was a christian who noticed the difference between the God, as told by Jesus, and the God of the Old Testament. Marcion noted that Yahweh was an evil God who created the fleshy status. One of the verses used by Marcion to prove his theology was the following:
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil (Isaiah 45:7)
and he said to them, "i tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of god come with power.
(mark 9:1).
when you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.
As I see, in Mark, Matthew and Luke, the great tribulation is related to the destruction of Jerusalem, and Matthew says that " immediately after the tribulation of those days...... shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory........... Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. "
So, if Jesus said what Matthew wrote, the prophecy of Jesus failed, because during that generation, the tribes of the earth did not see Jesus coming on the clouds as a consequence of the destruction of Jerusalem. That generation passed without seeing Christ for the second time.
i've made a few posts here already so i thought i'd introduce myself.
i'm an ex-jw from cheltenham pittville (uk) congregation.
i've been free and clear for a few years now so i'm through the anger phase and in the happily getting on with my life phase.
Onager - The Bible contains lies and contradictions. If there is a God who created us, He is not the God of the Bible. This is why I am currently a skeptic.
Welcome and best wishes.

AnointedWitnesses- "Their hurt and anger blinds them to the fact that the Father and Christ Jesus had nothing to do with those machinations".
The question is this: who is the Father ?. If the "Father" is the God of the Old Testament we can't reconcile to Him, because he is vengeful, genocide, child murderer, and inspired false prophecies.
well it looks like the wt was slowly moving away from the blood ban going back to the 1990's but not sure of some things i have read concerning thier comments about blood moving through the placenta?.
that some protein fractions from the plasma do move naturally into the blood system of another individual (the fetus) may be another consideration when a christian is deciding whether he will accept immune globulin, albumin, or similar injections of plasma fractions.
one person may feel that he in good conscience can; another may conclude that he cannot.
The best way to solve the issue on blood is by knowing the fact that the Noah's account is a legend copied from other legends and adapted to the Jewish Law. So God never said to the man : "do not eat blood", because the Flood (as told by the Bible) never happened. Futhermore, we are not descendants of Noah. ....On the other hand, when Jehovah's Witnesses eat a steak they eat blood.

i have read the chapter 19 of isaiah, which scholars of high criticism believe to be authentic, of isaiah himself.
in this chapter there are more than one prophecy for egypt.
my question is, how many of them you found fullfilled and unfulfilled?....
I would like to read how the apologists explain the following prophecy of that chapter:
21 So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the Lord . They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them. 22 The Lord will strike Egypt with a plague; he will strike them and heal them. They will turn to the Lord , and he will respond to their pleas and heal them.
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing [ b ] on the earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, ‘Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.’
When did Egypt turn to Yahweh?,....when were Assyria, Egypt and Israel united in worshipping Yahweh?
as we know, nebuchadnezzar could not conquer the island of tyre, so he could not fulfill what was predicted in ezekiel chapter 26. many years later, ezekiel admitted that the prediction failed in chapter 29:.
17 and it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the lord came to me, saying, 18 son of man, nebuchadnezzar king of babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from tyre, for the labor which they expended on it.
19 therefore thus says the lord god: surely i will give the land of egypt to nebuchadnezzar king of babylon; he shall take away her wealth, carry off her spoil, and remove her pillage; and that will be the wages for his army.

designs The Watchtower destroyed my infancy. My home was sometimes like a hell divided on account of the Watchtower doctrine. If this new christian group could cause a big damage in this cult, I would thank them.
