  Where is it written?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some time ago i came across this quote claiming to be from a watchtower publication;.

  1953 –“bible chronology also fixes the time for christ's second presence and the assuming of his right to rule as at 1914; this date was published in the watchtower as early as 1879, 35 years before 1914.” (tscp 3).

  this is of course misleading, for while the date was indeed published in watchtowers from the very beginning, christ’s second presence and his becoming king were not assigned to that year until many years after (1933 and 1922 respectively, to be precise)..

  what prevents me from getting baptized?

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  todays wt what a bunch of hooey.

  try: nobody can explain the beliefs from the bible; there are lots of "rules" beyond tdhe ones on morals enforced(beards, movies),.

  the "gifts in men" are in the least incompetent overworked well meaning; but others are overbearing power hungry bullies.

  2. bible

  he is the image of the invisible god,m the firstborn of all creation;n16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,owhether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities.

  all other things have been created through himp and for him.17 also, he is before all other things,q and by means of him all other things were made to exist, .

  the scriptures above are in nwt bible and are found in colossians 1:15-17. now take note of the following scriptures found in john 1:1-5.

  JWFacts is incorrect about "Holy Spirit". Do YOU know about the 40 or so years the WT taught there was NO holy spirit?

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i did my own extensive research as i was getting out, and by exploring actual changes and mentions of core doctrine, i learned how it came about that the gb teach that only they know the truth and only they get holy spirit.

  i was checking if jwfacts had it, and although they mention many older articles, it seems they didn't realize they taught there was no holy spirit.

  this was a real big eye opener for me, so thought i'd share it, and curious if any of you knew about this yourselves????.

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was talking to my sister in law the other day about death, and i mentioned something about the afterlife, i don’t remember what i said but it was nothing shocking .

  but she squealed, “we don’t believe in the afterlife!

  !” and i reasoned, well we kinda do...life after death is the after life..and she just insisted no no it’s not the same thing.

  " It is the True Religion ! "

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  speaking to two jw's, separately and days apart, they both weaved in to the conversation the phrase " it is the true religion " .. now in neither case was it possible for me to do my usual thing, piling in with both guns blazing and pointing out that it is impossible for there to be any such thing as "the true religion", unless by "truth" you mean that which is true in your opinion and not supported by facts or reality etc etc.

  my question is : is this mere coincidence, or has there been an article or something telling them to say this ?

  if there is, could someone point me to it ?

  Another School Shooting: The Gun Violence/Mental Illness Debate Continues

  by jp1692 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in the aftermath of the valentine's day school shooting in florida, i have read quite a number of articles, blogs and posts about the event.

  it is disturbing--and i think inexcusable--that many people take the opportunity to use horrible tragedies such as this to push their own particular agenda.. in particularly insensitive and tone-deaf tweet, conservative political commentator tomi lahren wrote: "can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?

  my goodness.
