by william draper in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so many of us have been taught that the name of god is jehovah , if like me many have come to really appreciate god's name .. .

more accurately we , at least many or most love the name of jehovah , or more accurately should i say this pronunciation .

does god care what we call him , of course he does , he had his name written in the bible as yhwh ( best i can do on this computer ) , more than 6000 times .

fellow witnesses - do you think the kingdom hall belongs to you, just because you all paid for it and personally finance its maintenance?

by B4Right in
1. watchtower
2. bible
how do you convince a jw that every decision that comes from the governing body is not from god?.

my mom who is a pioneer said that the students are getting their work book a month early, then proceeded to say " jehovah knows what we need".. for you who now know ttat what did it take for you?.

Memorial talk wt escape clause
by prologos in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
" --only those in the kingdom covenant were served the bread & wine by jesus--" ---false!

this phrase switches from the forgiveness of sin part to the exclusive anointed club section of the memorial talk, and it is false because: the kingdom covenant was done after the passover was done.

and the promise of thrones and judging israel in math 19:28 was not a covenant but an assurance.

What does GOD want from his human creatures?
by B4Right in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in wtbs world it's "be jehovah's friend"- it's "don't do anything to damage your relationships age my relationship with jehovah" !!

when you look at all the human relationships between god and jesus everyone was "chosen"!!

in the law of moses was there anything that told individuals to have their own relationship with god?

Mind control.
by New day in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in a recent thread someone mentioned that the wtbts uses mind control techniques.

do you think this is a conscious ploy?

if it is it would mean that the leaders of my religion (i am still an active jw) set out consciously to control people.

Don't Miss the Meetings - Hebrews 10:24, 25 Re-examined
by Oubliette in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i recently got an unsolicited lecture from a well-intentioned but nevertheless misguided jw friend.

the gist of it was that i needed to go to all the meetings or i would miss out on "everlasting life.".

i responded that i do not need to go to meetings to have a relationship with god.
