  NAILING DOWN the fraud of John 1:1 by demonstration

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. bible

  call me crazy, but i love to watch seminary classes when sharp teachers are in charge of the instruction.. in the following video, the teacher really nails jehovah's witnesses on john 1:1 with utter simplicity.. begin at 1 hour and 20 minutes in.. i've never seen or heard of this before.. .

  I have to agree Terry. I mean we all know from previous research that John 1:1 was changed to fit JW doctrine, but it's great to see just how wrong they've got it. It's not just a case of inserting 'a' before God but the entire sentence structure as it should be is corrupted in a lot of modern translations.

  I totally hear you dhoh and sf!  As much as some of this is interesting I can't help but think, why would an intelligent creator make it so bloody complicated to make himself understood. Not just that but also that he had to pass this nonsensical dribble down though dozens of channels, when he could simply TELL us what to expect and what he expects from us.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun?

  by lurkernomore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just checked the faq on jw.org as i wanted to show a df'd friend of ours how dishonest they were being about thier shunning policy.. well don't you know they've only gone and got honest about shunning df'd ones:.

  'we do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin.

  if, however, a baptized witness makes a practice of breaking the bibles moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped.

  Thanks for the extra info Blondie.

   I find it amazing how THEY feel THEY are in a position to decide that 'principles' of the ABANDONED mosaic law are to be viewed as gospel. That's millions of very deluded people! So glad I'm no longer one of them!

  Well the friend I mentioned in the OP has been dfd for a couple years now but last time we met he still felt it was the truth but couldn't live up to it. Needless to say I helped him see the error of his ways and enlightened him on a few truths about 'the truth' lol. He sees things very differently now.

  I wanted to show him the FAQ on shunning so he could perhaps show his parents (who shun him until they want/need something from him).

  I was hoping he could find some way to reconnect using their own words against them... It seems I'm a little late :(

  I guess here's more proof they're paying close attention to the Ex JW community lol!

  after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

  DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population

  by cantleave in

  1. social
  2. current

  an incredible lecture that uses statistics to show that the world is much better than many people think.. the challenge of population explosion - has been solved.. the challenge of extreme poverty is within our grasp.. the challenge of climate change - well that's something we need to focus on,,,,,,,,, take an hour watch this, it dispels the doom and gloom preached by many.
