And test this... are you studing Bible (reading through gospels, new testament) or you are "talking about topics" in different WT magazines and use Bible as Reference book, to "proove" that what JW says is true.
If it is second case, then you are not studing Bible but Literature, do not let yourself to be decieved. And even when they show you some scripture READ whole context - better whole chapter if that is what Bible is talking about. Coz there are even words in Bible "There is no God". Check WHOLE context. And better way to study Bible is actually READ it through. Start with gospel of John. Coz John itself says that his gospel alone is sufficient to get faith and ethernal life (John 20:31). So it is the best start of Bible. Or Gospel of Luke. Both these gospels should be on the top of your study. But check if you actually study Bible, or you study WT doctrine! -

NWT 2 Corinthians 5:20
by TheListener inin 2 corinthians 5:20 the nwt says, "we are therefore ambassadors substituting for christ, as though god were making entreaty through us.
as substitutes for christ we beg: "become reconciled to god.".
i could not locate any other bible translations that have the word "substituting" in the text.

Good that Christians don't need mediators between themselves and Christ. They can come to Christ directly without ambassadors :) And Christ promissed to be with us till end of ages. Better to be with relationship with the King directly atleast you have guarantee that he knows you and you know him.

Hey hello and welcome. If you are walking around telling ppl "good news" then I guess you are telling them gospel as Paul did in 1 Cor 15:1-5, coz if you are telling something else, then read Gal 1 But I guess as you are God's servant you are doing just like Paul did - preaching Jesus, coz we don't have any other Name given in which we have salvation (Acts 4:12) and coz Jesus gained name above all the names (Phil 2:9) and coz Jesus is sitting higher than any Name pronounced in this time or following (Eph 1:21)? It is written ""This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luk 24:46-47)
So are these the good news you preach? Or do you preach something else (read Gal 1) -

I realize people hear lack faith, Can't change them, but may this will help
by jw inthe apostle paul told the christians in the ancient city of philippi: "this is what i continue praying, that your love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment.
philippians 1:9
similarly, accurate knowledge is needed for you to be motivated to believe in god.

And who would speak about "correct knowledge" if they over 100 years can't get anything correct. All the time they need "new light" to get something different (not correct). Even wont speak about getting correct dates from historical events. It is eazy to blame Satan, rather then to learn something. First does not requires correct knowledge :)

Do you think that the WTS is going to "collapse" and there will be no JW's?
by booker-t indo you think that there will come a time when the wts will be a thing of the past and people will look into their history books and say "oh yeah those jw's were around for over 120 years and now they are no longer around today in the year 20___?
" my friend thinks that jw's will not collapse and will probably get "stronger" with time.
i hope not because i am just sick of the whole wts and jw's religion.

I guess more WT accumulate failed predictions, interpretations and show that their light is blinking, dimishing etc. they will pass slowly into history. They won't go away entirely, but they will lose their role. How long they will be able to tell that end is near... Other thing what could (I don't believe) is that they transform into mainstream christianity as Adventists did. But I guess they will soon be gone as there will be more expenses to cover the lie then gains.

John Chapter 1
by mavie ini am wondering how those who believe jesus is the almighty lord god reconcile the following passages in chapter 1.
john 1:1 - ..."the word was god.
john 1:14 - "and the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father,) full of grace and truth.
