Interlinear bible removed from the JW app?

by nmthinker in

my iphone doesn't have the interlinear bible anymore, the one with the greek and translated english together.

.

did they remove it?

smiddy

The big thing with the "Interlinear " to me was the absence of the Tetragrammaton in it .

So no way should the name Jehovah be included in the New Testament.

Obey the Superior Authorities God says / God says Satan is controlling the Superior Authorities.?

by smiddy in

romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".

matt.

4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

Romans 13 : 1-4 Clearly states that the Superior Authorities are an arrangement from GOD , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of GOD at your own peril.

Christians are to be obedient to the Superior Authorities ,"for their is no authority except by GOD , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by GOD .Therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of GOD "

Matt. 4 :8-10 Shows that all the kingdoms and Governments are under Satan`s control , Jesus never disputed that claim . 1 John 5 : 19 says that" the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one".

2Cor.4 :4 names Satan as" the God of this system of things"....John 12 :31 ..."the ruler of this world will be cast out".

Is it just me ? or is their something drastically wrong here.?

On the one hand GOD /Jehovah is responsible for the superior authorities , and woe & behold if you go against it .

On the other hand , it is Satan the Devil who is in charge of the superior authorities being the ruler of the world , having charge over all the Kingdoms of the world , and not denied by Jesus.

I look forward to my learned friends as to what you make of this post with your comments.

teenageInsider , it sounds like the horse has bolted , its over and done .Had I seen this topic earlier I would have asked :

Since Jehovah`s Witnesses are on record declaring they have no Clergy Class , why do they under oath in a Court of Law claim Clergy Penitent Privleledge ?

My cat died suddenly!

by Fisherman in

jw
friends

i did not realize that they were symptoms that something was wrong with my cat -but i did notice that my cat was breathing a little differently for a period of about a few days.

i also noticed prior and after to that, that on occasion, my cat would cry at the litter box, but that was a very seldom event.. anyway, about a week ago i noticed the symptom that my very loved cat was breathing heavy.

so i called a taxi and i was going to rush him to emergency room for cats.

smiddy

I`m sorry Fisherman and feel your loss , I had a toy poodle and a cat , both for about 16 years that co-existed together before they passed , I have never known sorrow like that and hope I never have to experience it again .

My thoughts are with you.

GB bites off more than they can chew!

by biblexaminer in

the gb bit off more than they can chew.

they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.

as a result, they are in damage control mode.

smiddy

Once again a" True Bible Student" has caught out the W.T. in their deceitfulness .

Have they no shame ?

Well done biblexaminer .

The possible extinction of cults

by Sugar Shane in

here's a link to an interesting article on the apparent demise of cults.

i can remember being accosted by various culty groups back in the '70s, while walking through the airport in lax.

this article ties the dwindling number of cults in western culture, to a shift towards secularism.

smiddy

Their will always be cults of one sort or another it`s in human nature ,There is always somebody who puts someone else on a pedestal . whether its a human or a mythological deity .

The WTBTS' Webmaster Caught In Another Lie!

by JW GoneBad in

wt's i. t. personnel have no shame putting this content into their website.

in the 'frequently asked questions about jehovah's witnesses' section of their website the following appears: .

how do you know how many are actively witnessing?.

smiddy

Their is nothing Voluntary about being a Jehovah`s Witness , with the exception of your decision to become one , and that is where your volunteer commitment ends .After Baptism

You are then subjected to a manipulated form of peer pressured dictatorship .

On the one hand , if their is a disaster , a natural occurrence such as an earthquake , tsunami , tornadoes etc, the witness Armageddon barometer kicks in .Many fence sitters , relatives etc. flock to the nearest K.H. for a time.

On the other hand ,

Because of the information that is now available on the internet ,Child abuse scandals ,Govt. investigations /Charitable status ,questions many people are leaving the organization .

It`s a to & fro motion that goes on .in a never ending cycle .

Disasters happen an influx in numbers proving Jehovah`s blessing

Bad publicity a decrease in numbers proves Bible is true

When the increase occurs its because of Jehovah`s blessing his one true religion

When a decrease occurs it`s fulfilling scripture prophecy " In the last days the love of the greater number will cool off "

So the J.W.`s have an each way bet on whatever happens

How do you reason with that kind of logic.?

So I think they will still be around for a long time yet .
