  i have some family and friends still in the organization.

  i don't actively seek updates - my lovely contacts provide me with them unsolicited.

  so far the updates have been reliable and confirmed sooner or later by subsequent developments.

  They better not I will stop going right now. That was the worst meeting of the lot. Mainly due to the fact it was so stupid to have a third meeting during the work week.

  Yadda Yadda every time I go now I can see it in their eyes. They are tired, they are just doing it becuase they are told to and I think a good chunk have it in their mind one more year and it must be over. I want to see them when it is clear that it isn't over and will never be over.

  Scotoma I second that don't give them ideas.

  Believing in Two Gods

  by NeverKnew in

  2. beliefs

  i'm trying to come up with "dumb householder" queries for if i'm ever graced with another door-knocking jw.. if i were to say, "are you the ones who believe in 2 gods," (in reference to christ being "a god" in john 1:1) would i get an answer other than "no"?

  i'm not asking what my response subsequent to the answer should be.

  i'm cheating and asking what they'll tell me off the tops of their heads since surely they've been asked this before.. .

  Techncally angels are minor deities so they are gods as well along with saints. Christianity can not claim to be a monotheistic faith especially Catholics which venerate saints and ask them for protection like you would a pagan god.

It makes sence why his cult fears sex so much.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahu

  Yahweh, prior to becoming Yahweh the national god of Israel and taking on monotheistic attributes in the 6th century BCE, was a part of the Canaanite pantheon in the period before the Babylonian captivity. Archeological evidence reveals that during this time period the Israelites were a group of Canaanite people. Yahweh was seen as a war god, and equated with El. Asherah, who was often seen as El's consort, has been described as a consort of Yahweh in numerous inscriptions. [ 1 ] The name Yahwi may possibly be found in some male Amorite names. [ 2 ] Yahu may be found in a place name.

  According to Botterweck and Ringgren, the earliest known occurrence of the name "Yahu" is its inclusion of the name "the land of Shasu-y/iw" in a list of Egyptian place names found in the temple of Amon at Soleb (see also Shasu of Yhw), from the time of Amenhotep III (1402-1363 BCE). [ 3 ] The place name appears to be associated with Asiatic nomads in the 14th to 13th centuries BCE. A later mention from the era of Ramesses II (c. 1303 BCE – 1213 BCE) associates Yahu with Mount Seir. From this, it is generally supposed that this Yahu refers to a place in the area of Moab and Edom. [ 4 ] Whether the god was named after the place, or the place named after the god, is undecided. [ 5 ]
