(Bible believers only please) A JW kept on asking me why do I think Jesus was God when the Bible says he is the son of God? The answer to that really laid into the word "Son". Why would the Jews turn aganist Jesus just for claiming that he was the Son of God? So I broke what does the word son means, in Hebrew. Showed him the definition of the Hebrew word "Son" (Ben)..which means "Class or Group" when used in this context, and then explained it to him. He counters with "well, that only means that they are of the same spirit." I then asked him "When did Theos ever meant spirit?" The guy had no response. I hope this helps some of you Former JWs who are still a Christian.

Would me sending out Barb's CD to JWs be unethical?
by A-Team inover on myspace, i bought up the 5000 page court documents, and they constantally say that those cases were dropped, charges were dropped, etc.
i told them that it wasn't, and it got into a cut n paste fest from various pro jw sites.
i told them this, i can back up what i am saying...if you are too cheap to spend the 30 bucks to buy the cd, i'll torrent it to you!

They started backing off, saying "I don't want to really read it" and not answering at all when I 'uped the ante' so to speak. So, if ever a JW takes me up on this offer, would it be OK to do it, or should i tell the JW to stop being cheap and spend the 30 bucks on it?

Medical Records and a newspaper article on SIDS babies. Even if you don't believe that, I have gone through more then my share of supernatural healing from injuries. My cyst on my knee was well documented, and my doc is still stunned on how it dissapeared w/o surgery.
Now, there are two stories out there about people who actually did die, and was confirmed by a Medical Professional that they did. 1 was Kenneth Hagan Sr. the other was the WWF's Rikishi.
Now, as far as it being duplicated, I dont know. All I know is I was facing upto 4 surgeries in my life, and didnt have nare one because the problem was fixed before they had a chance to operate. (broken bone in foot, cyst in knee, ligament damage in finger, torn adominial muscle). -

I have had numerous supernatural encounters of healing from as little as a common cold to as large as the docs canceling my knee surgery because the cyst dissapeared.
But yet, JWs respond to my testimonies like this.......
I thought I had the same experience myself but reallize I wasn't really Dead. You know your dead when your body starts to decompose after 4 days as in the Bible.
and more gems like this can be found at.....

Pray silently?!? What the heck is this about?
by A-Team ini was just reading memphisbelle's account, and she mentions that the wt says that one is suppose to pray silently so satan wouldn't be able to mess up god's plans.
um, correct me if i am wrong, since i have never been, or will never be a jw....but what the heck kind of logic is this?!?
(especially if you read what the bible says about prayer.

Challenging...I can make it real simple for you...If you believe that Jesus is Lord and confess it, you will have NO issues with me. Everything else we can disagree on, but you will still be my sister no matter what.
The issue with JWs is that you must be in sync with all of their teachings or they'll disown you.
You see the problem/difference? -

COg..I'll just leave you with this simple phrase that a woman has said several times:
"Many people know religion, but many people don't know God."
What she means is that people get so caught up in doctrine, which in most part really dosen't line up with Bible teaching, that they would rather believe the doctrines of the Church or Org over then what the Bible really says. -

By bibical definiton, JWs have yet to cover every nation on this earth.
by A-Team in....got into a discussion with another jw last week over this matter,and he brought this up.
knowing what i know, i took him to the greek dictionary to let him know what the bibical word nation meant: .
1. a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together .

agreed. If you refuse to go into Islamic nations to preach the good news, then you cannot possibly fulfill this. Even if you did, you will still need to get every sect in the nation to say this.

1. a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together
1. a company, troop, swarm
2. a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus
1. the human family
3. a tribe, nation, people group
4. in the OT, foreign nations not worshipping the true God, pagans, Gentiles
5. Paul uses the term for Gentile Christians .
Taking that ALL into account, you can see what I mean.
