For JWs: Proof! --Jesus' Return In First Century!
by bjc2012 inthese words were translated as either presence [parousia], coming [echomai] or arrival [eltho] in the new world translation.
but all we are saying is that the word ...can, can, can mean "coming", a simple "coming" of a person.
we remember jesus christ made an initial visit, or had a first coming, to inspect the temple for god, as the messenger of the covenant.

Are you SERIOUS? They are destroying all the pre '50s books??? OMG!!! Now I am never going to be able to show my mother all of the crazy things they've said!!! I guess they realize that people are doing their own investigations, and realizing the truth real fast. Thanx for the post (warning).

WT July 1, 2001 (Part I)
by Defender inthe study article of rejoice in the knowledge of jehovah stresses the importance and benefit of gods word that is found in the bible.
in deed, if jehovahs witnesses are doing anything right, it is the fact that they are turning peoples attention towards the bible and the rewards and treasures that can be had when applying its wise counsel.. if the matter had stopped here, then all is well.
but that is not the case.. starting in paragraph 7, under the subtitle the light becomes brighter the writer points to jesus efforts in combating jewish traditions and describes how the gospels were added.

Sorry for the really long paragraph guys. I usually don't do that, but I didn't want to take up to much of the forum space. Next time, I'll paragraph, and maybe paraphrase too. Thanx for your advice.

I've got to play devil's advocate on this one. Though I believe that the WTS is wrong in their teachings, and is most definately a cult, I would not have the vocabulary that I have today, if not for the publications and "theocratic ministry school". I definately don't think them to be better than a college education, but I do believe that they have helped me with my reading and speaking skills. My mother has a learning disability, and could not teach me much other than the alphabet and the small words she knew how to say or spell. But, she always had me read her the mags, and some parts of books. The vocabulary they use exceeds the level required by most high schools even, so because of that, I always managed to dazzle my teachers and classmates because of my ability to read and speak well, which I must attribute to the books and mags.

what if???
by jolly_green_giant inwhat if the witnesses do have all the answers?
what if the big a does come and we all have to answer the 'the man upstairs'?
what will your arguement be???

I guess that my argument would be that he's a real jerk for playing with people's heads. With all the BullShit roaming around these days, you really don't know what to believe, but you sure as hell know what not to. In this world, everything has a way of getting turned around and you can take almost any argument and make it appear wrong or right. So like I said, I would just tell God that he's a big jerk, and that if that's what true religion is all about, I want no part.

Dear Wonderful Board Members,
I want to thank you all a million times for the replies you have given me. They have given me lots of insight, and I am now going to revise the letter just a little bit according to some of your suggestions. I like the idea about giving a copy to everyone in the hall. It would be really awesome if it got read aloud to the entire congregation!! I bet there'd be plenty of head bowed in shame, huh?! Anyway, thanx again guys. I hope that maybe I can reach someone's softer side with it, and maybe they'll start keeping their promises.
My Upmost Regards,
Joanne
