  Feed the Poor or Help the WT? (Mt 25:40 Christ's "Brothers")

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some bible passages i can vaguely remember reading as child without the borg blinders on.

  this would usually happen after a speaker introduced a single "proof text" verse in a talk and then i'd keep on reading in the bible instead of staying in sync with the borg software download.

  (guess i was destined for "apostasy" .

  What allows JWs to use Jehovah (YHWY)

  by wab07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember from past college courses that in the old testament the isrealites were not allowed to say god's name yhwy because it was too sacred, so they could only write it; therefore, they used el when saying god's name....correct?.....the jws seem to claim that they are the only religion to know god's name, but where do they get the right to say jehovah.

  are there any scriptures that would confirm the change from only writing god's name to saying it?

  i was just wondering about this questions because the jws have an answer for everthing....maybe i should ask one.

  Heard any good anecdotes a JW?

  by tioga joe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i got a chuckle out of one of the past messages that related the story of a person in desperate need praying to god for help just as a jw knocked on the door.

  i had heard that one myself, too.. so it got me to thinking about "jw anecdotes" we all have heard.

  one i heard from my visiting witness was during a "study" on how we must obey god's word even when man's word says not to.

  If Al Gore was elected in 2000, would 9/11 happened?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about this today, as al gore did win the popular vote and lost because of how the electoral college works.

  so people like to blame 9/11 on bush, and fahrenheit 9/11 really tried to make it look like bush.

  i remember when the movie, "the road to 9/11" came out, clinton was having a fit that it showed the problems with 9/11 started while he was in office.

  When going door to door, what comments or questions made you think?

  by tioga joe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jw and his wife have been coming by every week.

  i started out from the get-go saying that i would listen because i had an interest in all religions and would like to learn the jw beliefs just to know that they believe.

  this is a very good learning experience because it makes me evaluate what i believe and why i believe it.
