"Creationists" is society's label for those who believe in the CHURCH version of creation: all things made in 6 literal 24-hour days. Adam and Eve living in Jurassic Park.
That is NOIT the version of Creation in the Bible we hold to...
i've been having a bit of an email exchange with elder dad and i need some advice.
i thought i was getting through to him but i think my criticism and tone became a bit too strident in my last email and now he thinks that i am attacking him personally.
i think he has dismissed everything i said because he perceived me as 'overally critical, and rude.. .

as you know i am still in but have no strong conviction for this cult..but i still go because my wife is still asleep to the false teachings.
for a few months now...when we have family study it is stricly from the bible.
which is great, while we study we are taking the bible as it is, i think it is opening her eyes and how important jesus is.
I read " Crisis of Conscience" years ago, underlining all the errors and simply LIES.
If you believe everyting it said, you are both gullible and know little of scripture.

I'm PAINFULLY aware of what the Org says about itself.
I'm talking aboiut TRUTH.
They are two different things: The org tries to live up to the truth- and sometimes fails to do so.
i am preparing for my meeting this friday with miss k. we are reviewing the bible teach book, and she is looking forward to "showing me some things about the divine name.
" i don't know what she might pull out of her hat this time... but that section of the teach book is so completely assanine, i don't even know what to say.
) what did jesus mean when he said that to his father?.
To pretend that God's Name (which is part of the name "Jesus") is lost is asnine.
He said it (Yahweh/Jehovah) would be his name FOREVER.
Denial is futile.

Able, Jesus foretold of his followers that they would preach the good news of the KINGDOM to the WORLD. If you think you and your friends here are doing that- please see a shrink.

Tire- preach to me!
this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.
why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?
i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.
Yes, Shirley- I am a JW.
"Jah" has long been the abbreviated form of Jehovah. As Yah is of Yahweh.

It's EASY to learn fallacy. When people teach their OPINIONS as to what GOD'S prophecies mean- that does NOT make them false prophets. Just very indiscreet...

Vander- those are THEIR opinions as to what GOD'S prophecies mean. YES, they DO glorify themselves- and will have to answer for it.
BrainFloss- thanks for your correction; ther has been ONE thing they taught that is umbiblical- your point @ the Mediator. Just as a note, Churchianity teaches he is no mediator at ALL, since he is 'God'. Jesus COMMANDED his followers to preach the good news, to help each other (as well as others), and TAUGHT them how to work together (organize), so we really MUST determine who are TRUE fellow christians being guided by spirit- and WORK with them!
AndShirley- the "Slave Class" nonsense is ANOTHER opinion of prophecy.
Opu- same thing.
Mouthy- opinions about GFOD'S prophecies don't make on a false prophet. That is standard church ignorance.
Cofty- if I thought you really wanted to know, I would TRY to answer.
