  by stillAwitness in

  1. is the wt accurate when they say that christendom erased the name 'jehovah" out of the bible?

  and is it safe to say that the wt has inserted the name back in more places than it was actually in it.

  i have heard talks that in many scriptures where it should simply be lord they've just inserted"jehovah.

  I've heard that WT inserted Jehovah into the NT several hundred times. I think they claim that the NT was corrupted somehow and it was up to them to correct. My question is this: if the NT was corrupted by the removal of Jehovah, what else is corrupted that we don't know about? How can we have any assurance that any of it is accurate? Ah, yes. I found the link: http://www.bible.ca/jw-YHWH.htm Does anyone have any watchtower literature relating to this issue?

  5. Physical Cleanness: Because they represent God, Christians should keep their bodies and clothing clean. We should wash our hands after using the toilet, and we should wash them before eating meals or handling food. If you do not have a proper sewage disposal system, toilet wastes should be buried. ( Deuteronomy 23:12, 13 ) Keeping physically clean contributes to good health. A Christian's home should be neat and clean both inside and outside. It should stand out in the community as a good example.

  "God is Love"

  by Justin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after my thread on seminary education, i am doing one more about liberal clergy.

  my previous thread dealt with the idea that their education seemed incompatible with their calling, and this naturally led to the possibility that they may hide an underlying skepticism from their parishioners.

  in this thread i am asking why many of them present a god whose love goes beyond that of the biblical god or even the god of traditional theology.

  God lies

  Ezekiel 14:9

  And as for the prophet, in case he gets fooled and actually speaks a word, I myself, Jehovah, have fooled that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand against him and annihilate him from the midst of my people Israel.

  WHAT DOES HAPPEN AFTER DEATH????

  by chuckyy in

  1. watchtower

  we all know the jw view on what happens at death.

  however a friend of mine lost a very young son and went to a medium.

  the medium told her the name of her son without knowing anything about her or even knowing that she had a child that died.

  Mediums do this through so-call cold reading. They throw things out there and the person reacts, either positively or negatively. We give off signals when we are being told things. The medium probably said something like "i'm seeing a son.." your mom probably reacted facially, or said "uh huh." The medium went further, or maybe saw your mom start to cry, and the medium asked "did something happen to your son?" Then something like "I see an 'M' name or a name like Mike or Jim."

  It's a scam. Have your mom sit there completely stone-faced and not react one single bit. Then we'll see how accurate this "medium" is.

  What does it matter what the history of thanksgiving is? What does it mean to you and your family? It's a time to get together, enjoy some food, and be thankful for the things you have. If it means something else to someone else, how does their thinking influence Thanksgiving's meaning to you? Do you think Jehovah wouldn't want you to enjoy time with your family and be thankful for what you have?

  Well, I just added this one:

  We'll see how long it lasts.

  God loves children:

  2 King 2:23-24

  23 And he [Elisha] proceeded to go up from there to Beth´el. As he was going up on the way, there were small boys that came out from the city and began to jeer him and that kept saying to him: “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 Finally he turned behind him and saw them and called down evil upon them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears came out from the woods and went tearing to pieces forty-two children of their number.

  All,

  I added an item to the Wikipedia Jehovah's Witness article which was removed as an "erroneous belief." I believe it is correct, but I need some help. I added using info from the Quotes site, as well as from Reasoning from the Scripures:

  * Belief that only Jehovah's Witnesses will survive Armageddon and that all others on Earth will be killed by Jehovah, including children.

  They also removed a change I made from this:

  * Belief that God has a visible organization, and that there is only one true religion. (Matthew 7:13, 14; Ephesians 4:4-6)

  To this:

  * Belief that God has a visible organization, known as the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, and that there is only one true religion. (Matthew 7:13, 14; Ephesians 4:4-6)

  Apparently someone doesn't like the fact that I pointed out the name of god's visible organization. If the name of the organization isn't WTBTS, then what is it?

  "Jehovahs Witnesses" on Wikipedia the online encyclopedia

  2. friends

  for those of you familiar with wikipedia, you can get the answer to almost any question.

  it's the greatest online encyclopedia and reference.. for curiosity sake, i looked up "jehovah's witnesses" and came up with this link.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jehovas_witnesses.

  not only does it do a pretty good job of outlining what jws are about, it also mentions they are suffering from a decline in numbers in developed lands.
