  Jesus temptatation by Satan...a JW conumdrum

  by logansrun in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some liberal christians view the charachter of satan as being a symbol for the evil within humans which tempts us all.

  the jws will often point to jesus being tempted by satan as being proof that this is an unreasonable explanation since "jesus was perfect and he could not have evil thoughts in him.

  " now this raises a conumdrum for a similar, but related matter.. just what can a perfect person do or not do when it comes to "sinful" thoughts?

  while the wts is very proud to trot out its stats now, it is like mining for diamonds to find the stats before 1935. here is what i found.. 1914 18,243 attendance.

  1917 21,274 attendance.

  1935 63,146 attendance (52,456 pubs; 56,153 partakers).

  Gred Stafford – Not committed--too afraid of being DF’d!

  by cyberguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ive just completed the reading of greg staffords latest book, "the three dissertations on the teachings of jehovahs witnesses.

  " although i appreciate his point-of-view overall, i find that his writing is often difficult to follow and at worst, not forthright on doctrinal issues.

  basically, i find his writings rather anemic, hes just not forthright; he evidently doesnt want to be dfd!

  How many years left to Armageddon

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  with all the emphasis put on armageddon in the org.

  can we throw away all the signs that jesus gave, just because we quit being a jw?.

  does armageddon scare you as much as when you were a jw?

  God's Name?

  by seeking_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  another question for everyone.

  i have read through some of the threads, posts or whatever and even though there is a sense of disagreement over witnesses and the society, their way of handling the words of the bible.

  i was curious to know if anyone does believe jehovah is his name?
