Jesus no longer really "a god"?
by M.J. in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i saw the latest wt magazine released this week.

i don't have it on me but on the cover it asks the question, "is there only one true god?".

skimming the story inside i noticed they quoted the verse in isaiah where it mentions there is only one god and there never was or will be a god alongside him.. "hmm," i wondered, "how will they reconcile this with john 1:1?".

1. jw
2. friends
apparently there has been quite a stir in jw apologetic circles recently about the translation of john 1:1 in the early sahidic version of john.

i don't know if this has been discussed here before - if someone could give a link to a previous thread they know about on the subject that would be great.

here is what i gather: .

Christians - Do you believe the flood occurred?
by AlmostAtheist in
1. jw

when i was a bible believer, i accepted the flood.

the frozen mammoths and seashells on mountaintops were "evidence", but the only needed proof was simply that the bible said so.

as a christian, do you believe the flood story?.

Apostate music
by Bumble Bee in
1. jw
2. friends
as a jw kid, i was always hearing about not listening to certain music.

one reason my mother called me apostate is because she saw some cd's i had - she called it gospel.

some of them were decidedly what is termed "chrisitan" music in the store, some are crossover artists (chrisitian but played on mainstream/top 40 radio) and there is alot of country music that is spiritual for lack of a better word.. i was always under the impression that "unapproved" music would be songs with lyrics that go against biblical principals - sex, drugs, etc, not music that promotes good things in life, or glorifiying god and jesus.
