the watchtower bible and tract society encourages all jehovahs witnesses to deceive when it suits their purpose.

this it calls "theocratic war strategy".

If they had the "truth", wouldn't they stop printing new literature?

.

the fact that they are coming out with new magazines and new books all the time, can only mean that they haven't found the truth yet.. if they had the truth, they'd be satisfied with their old publications.

How would you react if proof is found that your beliefs are wrong?
by Honesty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a more complete example of a wrong religious road or overwhelming delusion than what is found in the writings of the watchtower bible and tract society would be difficult to find.

if each jehovah's witness would follow their own guidance and conscience, many more than already have would stream out of the suffocating grip of this man-centered organization and into true liberty.. matt 24:11-12 many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold.

Leolaia and/or Narkissos, "pseudochristos" = "false anointed"?
by AuldSoul in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i want to make sure i am understanding this correctly.

in the places where jesus is recorded as saying "false christs" would come in his name, is it correct to state that pseudochristos/pseudochristoi literally means "false anointed ones"?.

it didn't make any sense for them to (1) claim to be christ and also (2) claim to know where christ is.. my studies led me to believe that there is no reason (besides tradition) for capitalizing the "c" in translating "christos" in these instances, particularly since the plural form is used.

Saved by grace or by works?
by rootofallevil in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
according to the wts if we do not produce acts of good work (feild service, attending 5 meetings weekly, circuit and district assemblies etc), we are not worthy of salvation.

according to the bible, we attain salvation through god's undeserved grace ( or kindness in jw lingo).

what i am looking for is scriptural proof that will shoot down the first and support the latter.

Birthday

2. beliefs
i know this has been brought up before but can someone remind me how we can explain the phrase "on his own day" mentioned in job 1:4 as meaning "on ones birthday"?

if i remember correctly, in the same book (job) a few chapters later there is a mention of this phrase which clearly shows that it was on their birthday.

also isn't it interesting that job felt obligated to offer burnt sacrifises in case one of his children had "cursed god in their heart".
