  The NWT of John 1:1; Some Questions For Leolaia and Narkissos

  by FireNBandits in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to get right to the point, acts 12:22 and 28:6 both contain an anarthrous occurence of "theos" or a derivative, depending on one's textual base.

  in both instances these verses are rightfully rendered "a god" and not "god.

  " why, then, the mainstream christian problem with the same anarthrous construction in john 1:1 being translated in the nwt as "the word was a god"?

  Mary the mother of Jesus a perpetual virgin?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did mary the mother of jesus remain a virgin all her life?

  the catholic/orthodox believe that she never had sex with her husband and poor joseph had to spend the rest of his life in an unconsummated marriage unable to sleep with his wife.

  i find this unlikely that such a demand was imposed on him and there is the well known mention of jesus's brothers.

  can anyone provide me with any evidence (links to other sites is fine) that jerusalem could not have possibly fallen to the babylonians in 607?

  thanks again for your answers.

  When is Satan thrown out of heaven?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  the jws, of course, claim this occurred in 1914, thus making the way for the new heavenly order with christ (michael) having won the battle and taking his place on the throne.. but what does revelation itself suggest as the timeframe for this battle?.

  doesn't the society's version suggest that heaven was out of control until then--kind of like another earth?

  Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?

  by Little Bo Peep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.

  i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.

  i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.
