  Lurkers and JWs: Are you in the truth?

  by AuldSoul in

  2. bible

  18 years ago

  jesus said, "i am the way, the truth, and the life.

  " he didn't say he had the way, or that he had the truth, or that he had the life.. according to the bible, jesus is the truth; if you know the truth, the truth will set you free.. jehovah's witnesses set their dogma and religion in the place of jesus.

  they refer to their dogma and religion by a role that jesus said he would personally fulfill; they call it "the truth.".

  The Bible is clear that servants of Christ can be in the truth. Jesus IS the truth, and his servants are in him. However, Jesus is NOT a religion or a religion's dogma.

  If that were the case then, the entire New testament of the bible is null and void. It is quite clear in those books, that After Jesus, the CHRISTIAN Congregation was started. Based on Christ teachings the Congregation ran. The truth of Jesus was manifested through the teachings (dogma) through the newly formed Religion, which was refered to as the WAY!

  What is the purpse of the Jehovahs witnesses

  i have been on this site for a while looking around at all your comments and most of you have pretty good arguments and i am not trying to argue for either side i am just wondering and maybe this has already been discussed but what is the purpose of the jehovah's witnesses most of you believe that the jw organization is a cult and that they are controlling the minds of their people, but why are they trying to control the minds of the people?

  is it to get their money?

  is their reports of the jws having like billions of dollars stashed away?

  The purpose of JWS are to preach, teach and make disciples. Jesus commanded his followers to spread the Goodnews of Gods Kingdom. That is JWS number one priority. Also, there purpose is to serve the Tue God Jehovah, like his son Jesus did. Jesus said he made his name known among men and will continue to. JWS represent The true God.

  You were rewarded with prizes and smiles for one, rather than the promise of a paradise.

  Whats wrong with a promise of a better life hun? wouldn't you welcome positve and lasting changes? I know you would.

  Two Christians just came to my door....knock knock

  i let them in - and after they installed my new phone service [yes they were with the cable company], we had a nice discussion about our mutual faith [practiced in three distinct manners].. the installer first looked at my desk, and saw a copy of the kit [i was just listening to a mp3 audio that debunks it totally] , a copy of steve hassan's 'combatting cult mind control' [a recent gift from another poster here on jwd], a copy of reverand lingle's book 'approaching jehovah's witnesses in love', and a copy of 'church history in plain language'.

  a glance at my bookselves revealed a dozen bible translations, and dozens of apostate volumes [coc, isocf,gtr, etc].

  so he knew right off that i must be religious.. we had a nice conversation after they were done.

  Another thing... real Christians don't see faults in other people as quickly as JW's do because they have Christ's Spirit living in them and treat others as He would.

  I agree with you honesty. But JWS are not the only ones that are quick to find fault in people. Heck, just being on the board the short time that I have been, I have noticed this board is filled with such individuals, some even claiming to be Christian.

  Holes in the Kingdom

  by Dr_Derrick in

  there are more cracks we will be discovering in the kingdom of the heaven in the watchtower and i am going to ask you this: if christ did return to kingdom power in 1914, then how come we are not feeling the effects of his rule at this time?

  is it reason to believe that jesus return to earth will be a future event and that it will be very much visible and that we will feel the effect of his return to the earth by crushing all these kingdoms?

  (daniel 2:44) .

  "good food for though. Right out of the reasonong book."

  Well agapa, you certainly spell like a Jehovah's Witness. Did'nt they offer remedial english classes in your Janitorial degree program?

  It seems both, you and me were not offered remedial english classes in our janitorial degree program! Did'nt is spelled didn't. Before you try to capitalize on someone elses spelling errors because of prejudice and write a smart comment, make sure you know how to spell yourself!

  Deep thoughts: Is Jehovah omnipotent?

  by Paralipomenon in

  jehovah is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.

  he is the god of gods and all powerful.

  this is a fairly accepted teaching and one that no active witness would argue with.

  His Word assures us that he is omnipotent, one of his titles being "God Almighty." (Genesis 28:3)

  Very interesting topic. You made the statement: This is a fairly accepted teaching and one that no active witness would argue with.

  Well I must say that you may be suprised with the fact that JWS do not agree with God being omnipresent. God is indeed omnipotent, and he is omniscient in the sense that nothing can be hidden from him. But is he omnipresent? Is God everywhere, or is he a person with a specific dwelling place?

  People who go to the meetings and put a show on, then come here and bash what they themselves are involved in. Sorta hypocritical, why not just be who you are around everyone? Why not be true to themselves?

  I would say, no more violent than the millions of professed Christians who lend themselves to the Government to be used as killing machines against their enemies.
