by IT Support in

jw
friends

there a loads of anti-jw sites out there.. if you had to choose just one as being the best (apart from jwd, of course!

), which one would you pick?

perhaps which was most helpful when you were leaving?

Although he might have Russells grave sight wrong, who really knows where Russell is buried. I think this guy essay is darn good! He has done a good job connecting the dots with Russell and some of the WTBTS doctrines with pagan influnences . http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/dirtywatchtowersecrets.htm

I do like Freeminds and they exposed a lot of WTBTS.

Hey thanks for your post, I am going back to re-read some of this information. See whats new at freeminds and all the rest of them!

I would vote it down! No, I would be okay unless it was 8 feet away from my house.

Revelation 7:13

by Sarah Smiles in

therefore the great multitude could not appear prior to 1918. riches pg 297, paragraph 2.. the identification of the great multitude has not heretofore been clear to those creatures on earth who served god.

evidently john, being in doubt, propounded the question as to the identity of the great multitude.

had he known, he would not had asked the question.

it feels like being in the twilight zone right now!

what kind of choice is is when we are put in the position of choosing between loved ones and our freedom??

i am so angry right now, i feel like screaming in frustration.

Sarah Smiles

YOU feel like your in the twilght zone because YOU have found out that everything you were taught is the opposite, and it shock your entire physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.

Hang In There, it will get easier but as far as your feelings of disappointment I dont think You will ever get over that one unless you do research! read their old books and see how doctrines started!

Glad to see you here! Your right about wondering if the organization is part of Satan's plans! I read Rutherford's book called Jehovah and was shocked! along with Revelation Its Grand Climax Is At Hand.

They take away the torture stake of Jesus and placed it with WTBTS. Although they do believe in the stake, cross

Anyone who goes door to door with the WT is taking the place of Jesus! because they say they are the man with the Secretary's Inkhorn who marked people during Ezekiel's time, once again apply past vision to themselves. But that is not going to be the case in end times only Jesus and Jehovah will mark people with help from the apostles who will judge the 144,000.

Who chooses the 144,000 God or WTBTS? They keep records of who is the 144,000 and doubt anyone who partakes.

Jesus said that unless you eat my flesh (bread) and drink my blood (wine) you can not have eternal life! Who else does not want you to have eternal life? Satan! How many times did Jesus make that commandment? I believe it was four of five times. As far as I am concerned it is just as important as your baptism!

So you are right!

Venting your disappointment is a healthy outlet! WELCOME.

What Were the "Geneologies" Of Which Paul Was Warning In 1 Tim. 1:17?

by Justitia Themis in

interesting...from the jaimeson, fausset and brown bible commentary:.

genealogies--not merely such civil genealogies as were common among the jews, whereby they traced their descent from the patriarchs, to which paul would not object, and which he would not as here class with "fables," but gnostic genealogies of spirits and aeons, as they called them, "lists of gnostic emanations" [alford].

so tertullian [against valentinian, c. 3], and irenaeus [preface].

Sarah Smiles

I am a fan of commentaires and enjoy reading many. Also I am happy that everyone posted about there views on 1Timothy because I thought it only had something to do with keeping a records of which hebrew tribes someone came from, but that would not be foolish and Paul himself said he was from the tribe of Benjemin.

You all make very good points! But I wish I had energy to study it all in detail, so I have to make a comment just so I can find it easier!

I get exhuasted just posting the last KM on the bibical point of view, but wow this one hits it right on! I think you guys should make your own magazines.

My father was baptised in 1939. 27 years after this prophecy, when I
was 15 years old, he let me have a front tooth pulled instead of
straightened because, once again, Armageddon was being counted in
months. I would not have done that if he had not polished the WT's
cup by hiding that information from me.

Sorry to hear that you father had you front tooth pulled out! It sound like your father could afford to have you teeth straighten. I know back in your fathers days, people had their teeth pulled out all the time because it was cheaper! Even in the 60s and 70s and now people pull their teeth because of the expense.

Hey I stayed home to watch the Sonny and Cher Show on a Friday night instead of the Theocratic Ministry School! That was fun but looked down upon!

I think they now say that people are visiting other Kingdom Halls! Yeah right!

To answer your question, they will never stop telling people what they can watch! I am wondering if ET is still a bad movie?

WHAT do YOU know about LUCIFER... and His teachings?

by LtCmd.Lore in

i am interested to know what you know about lucifer/satan and what you really think of his teachings.. god demands that we believe everything that he tells us, and that we do everything that he says without questioning.

(deuteronomy 6:16-19).

lucifer is the embodiment of reason, of intelligence, of critical thought.

Sarah Smiles

I think that he was not satan but a King so your Bible is really a kings bible. Maybe they should have called it Satans Bible.
