Welcome to the board!

Interestingly enough there is a similar thread going on right now over this very topic, check it out: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/110692/1.ashx

Remember ask lots of questions! Knowledge is power!

the following is an e-mail my husband sent his youngest sister ( her and her husband are still in) after a few weeks of our family going back and forth between her and her husband trying to defend our actions and reason for leaving the religion.. patricks predictions (at the risk of alienating you even more):.

in 20 years the 'end' will still be "just around the corner" jws will still feel like theyre not doing enough, even though most of their energy was spent in the society's interests you will have cast off many more friends and family at the society's behest you will still feel like this world can't go on any longer what you believe today will not be relevant after 20 years of "new light" you will be upset that i dare to speak this way, determined to prove your faithfulness to a man-made organization .

hold on to this email.

The JW's have blinded themselves to any negitive comments about their religion. They ignorately believe that they are the ones out there searching for truth because they knock on peoples doors. They often make the claim that no one has tried to show them the 'truth', but this is not true, I remember many times going out in serivce and people offering JW other religious litature at the door or trying to reasonwith them, but the fact is that the dubs just don't listen and they don't even release it!

WAS THE LAST SUPPER REALLY AT PASSOVER?

by Mary in

jw
friends

with the memorial coming up (and all of you attending of course, haha) i wanted to post a topic that's been bugging me for quite a while:

ok, we were all taught that the last supper coincided with the passover, which was required by jews to celebrate annually.

however, i've got a couple of questions on this:

Interesting theory, but roman documents support that Jesus was excuted on the date Bible scholars claim (every religion is in agreement on this fact not just JW's).

The borg is horrible for contradicting itself. Here's an example:

The Jehovah's Witnesses deny that God has established different covenants or testaments for His people. Thus, they oppose the idea of an "old" covenant (testament) and a "new" one. Much of their teachings are still based in the writings which we call the "Old Testament," for the simple reason that they do not believe it has been replaced (or fulfilled) by a new covenant (testament). For this reason, they refuse to designate the two sections of the Bible as the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament." Instead, they refer to them as "The Hebrew-Aramaic Scriptures" and "The Christian Greek Scriptures." It's interesting to note, however, that they have failed to be consistent in this stand even in their own translation. In II Corinthians 3:14 the NWT speaks of "reading the old covenant." "New covenant" and "former covenant" both appear in Hebrews 9:15, and "mediator of a new covenant" appears in Hebrews 12:24, just to cite a few examples.

The fact that there are still many 'proficies' that the WTS had made up that have not been fulfilled is something the borg spends a considerable time trying to discredit. They have been stating that the end could come anytime since Russel. They envision that these proficies could some how take place over night. There are so many condradictions in their beliefs and their actions one could write a book on it.

What is now the most accurate Bible to buy??

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

now that i've read ray franz's part about how his uncle and others with little actual greek or hebrew training translated the bible into the nwt, i've been interested in finding the best bible out there is correctly translated by people who know what the hell they are talking about.

niv?

i've also been looking at other religions lately, ones that are "somewhat" close to the jw's teachings to an extent, and have been interested in seventh day adventists.

SickofLies

This is a very subjective question, as the Bible wasn't written in English, there is nothing to say one translation is better than another, for most translations contain opinions by the translator as to what certian words should mean and how they should be translated. Check this site out for a comparision of different translations:

Welcome to the board!

Because the WTS has lied when it comes to science. The book they wrote 'Life: How did it get here?' is filled with inacurate statements and even lies to try and discredit evolution. Check out these sites for a more balanced view:
