  What are the JW arguments of Matt 1:23 and Heb 1:8?

  the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name imman uel, which means, when translated, with us is god.

  (matt 1:23, nwt) .

  "...toward but the son, the throne of you, the god, into the age of the age..." (hebrews 1:8a, kit)

  Ok, this is a little odd for me...just need a little advice

  ...there is a young lady at my workplace, who is a jw, and is sending the obvious signs that she at least has interest in me...even know that i will be a minister 'of the devil's church', as jws call it, as of june.

  i'm not going to lie, i think she's cute, and if she wants to talk, i would do it.

  one of my major questions is this: if i am not a jw, why would she have any intrest in a person that is apart of 'satan's system'?

  ....good point. Find out her true intentions before I make any moves. Why I didn't think of that?

  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 in

  2. experiences

  over 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 in

  2. beliefs

  i 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?
