Other Gods.

by Englishman in

so who are these other gods, then?.

the societies literature is full of references to false gods, other gods, no gods before me, ad nauseum.. the kingdom squalidies also make frequent referals to "other gods".

"feared above all gods is he....".

I remember one interpretation by an elder giving a talk concerning when the deciples asked Jesus about God. Jesus said, "Look around you." The elder stated that Jesus was saying "the beauty they saw in the trees, landscape, etc." was the beauty of god.

How about Jesus pointing out to the deciples that everything they see, EVERYTHING, is God. Perhaps god is in everyone of us, in every electron of every atom of every molecule of everything. This is how I feel.

As humans we feel the need to see everything. Ala, Buda, Jehovah, Jesus, the Sun... human feel the need to materialize. Many people across the globe speak to one god with the many names they give her, him, it...

Wow this is great.

You guys know I'm a little new here and finding it a little difficult working through the "search" for the website. I have emails to send! Could someone please paste a quote of the WT saying (w/date) the Un is wild beast, bla, bla, bla.

Thank you, maybe we can save some people!

Visit From Elders

by laurelin in

it's been awhile since i've been on here.

due to death in the family, chicken pox in children and other nasty things.. i posted here awhile ago about things i had found the unsettled me.

i was due to have a visit from two elders and a lot of you gave me lots of help and encouragement.. well, the two elders visited and i have to admit that it was nothing like i expected.. they sat down, and told me straight away that there was nothing i could say or ask that would hurt me.

Bryan

I asked them outright that was there anything I could say to them that would get me marked or disfellowshipped for being apostate and they replied no.

Holy Cow!

I too must say, this sounds more like "let's say no and she'll open up".! If you asked the question,

was there anything I could say to them that would get me marked or disfellowshipped for being apostate

You were effectively telling them, I'm not going to tell you everything, for fear of punishment. What did you expect them to say? "Yes, if you are honest with us we will DF you"?

Your meating sounds bizzar to me, I'm sorry but, the last thing they want is someone with questions like your's to start talking to other dubs. People like us who demand real answers and to speak openly are a cancer to a KH, a cancer of truth that the borg cannot afford among it's cash cows.

Lovingly,

new fangled doctrines

a hundred years ago, all of a sudden, more than a hundred new cults and denominations of christiendom mushroomed in the united states of america.

the seventh day adventists, the christian scientists, the menonites, the christiadelphins, the jehovah's witnesses and the like.

Bryan

Would you admit to being "programmed" and ancourage it for others?

We Muslims are supposed to be "programmed" five times a day in our daily Salaat

NEW FANGLED DOCTRINES

A hundred years ago, all of a sudden, more than a hundred new cults and denominations of Christiendom mushroomed in the United States of America. The Seventh Day Adventists, the Christian Scientists, the Menonites, the Christiadelphins, The Jehovah's Witnesses and the like. The founder of the last named cult, a Judge Rutherford, about whom the orthodox Christians say that he was no "Judge." This Judge was a voracious book-worm and a prolific writer. He stumbled across the word "Jehovah" which tickled him immensely, and he made a religion out of it.

Judge Rutherford, followed by Charles T. Russell created a new "church," which in its system of organisation and administration is second to none in the world. There is very much we Muslims can learn from their enthusiasm and methodology. Read, "Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave" by Schelin. It is not their theology I am enamoured with but their modus operandi (the way they operate). Read, how this incorrigible sect came very close to conquering Germany before Hitler. Read, about their second come- back in West Germany. Think, why they are making a most concerted effort in Nigeria. Will the system or religion that prevails in Nigeria, be ultimately the norm of the rest of Africa! This giant is the hero of the majority of the African people south of the Sahara. Muslims must reflect.

VIRILE SECT

The "Jehovah's Witnesses," have made the most phenomenal progress of all the religious sects of the past hundred years, on a percentage basis. The Bahaies are moving at a snails-pace in comparison, actually receding in ratio with the other Christian off-shoots. These "Witnesses" are the fittest in their fight against the other Christians as well as against the Muslims. Simply because they programme themselves five times a week in their "Kingdom Halls," and what they learn they implement during the week-ends. We Muslims are supposed to be "programmed" five times a day in our daily Salaat, but we have lost the true purpose of this Pillar of Islam. Our Salaat is for earning Sawaab (spiritual blessings) only.

They have made the word JEHOVAH famous. They knock at people's doors, asking the question - "What is His Name?" The orthodox Christian replies - "God." They say, "God is not a name, it is an object of worship. What's His Name?" "Father," says the orthodox as a second try. "Is your father God?" Of course not! So what is His Name? "JEHOVAH! is His Name," says the "Witness" to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. He has become a professor of this one word. He has made it into a religion.
