Baptism Questions??
by lepermessiah in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this forum tends to get me thinking about things from the past and then roll my eyes.. i was recalling a particular pharasee in the congregation who used to love showing everyone how "smart" he was.. when i would go over the questions with someone, we would fly through them because it was usually with kids who were raised as jw's and could answer then in their sleep.

(besides the fact it was an "open book" quiz.).

well, mr pharasee used to always make it into a marathon session and take 2-3 hours to go over one section of the questions with someone.. he could take a simple question like "what is god's name?

i'm not a jehovah's witness, nor have i ever been one.

(neither have i played one on tv.

) but i have relatives who joined back in the late 60s, and we've heard precious little from them since.. i've read many jw publications, talked to their missionaries and am at a loss.

Where Do JWs Get Their Sense of Legitimacy?
by Cold Steel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in reading jw literature over the years and talking to missionaries, i've often read and heard the term "manmade religion" applied to other christian churches.

yet when i study the history, the church seems to have been built on a publishing company.

no revelations or visions, no voices from heaven, no light or glory, no visitationsyet the jehovah's witnesses proclaim that they're the only "true" religion.

I hate the Watchtower but I really still hate the Trinity Jesus is NOT God!
by Witness 007 in
1. jw
2. experiences
some bibles use the term "worship" when refering to jesus...at times people did fall down and bow to him........this doesn't show he was god!

the greek term; proskeyneo, means to prostrate oneself, to bow down and show honour.

now, this was done for jehovah.....and his representatives....jesus israelite kings and priests....but for the honour of jehovah not as creature worship which even angels would refuse.. also i studied the non-biblical early church gospels which really does show a slow decline over 150 years, into the trinity as the watchtower claims...........although i still hate the watchtower society at least i learnt something that wasn't a lie..

that when jeptha's daughter came out (and jeptha had promised god he'd sacrifice the first thing out of his house) that he had to sacrifice her as a burnt offering.

A Religion of Assumptions
by Cold Steel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the jehovah's witnesses are a strange cultural phenomenon and one that has always puzzled me.

members call it "the truth" and, more boldly, "jehovah's organization.

" but many of those on the outside remain dumbfounded.
