  · for what reasons does jesus have the formerly demonized man tell others about what jesus did?.

  but jesus tells the man: “go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things jehovah has done for you and the mercy he has shown you.”—mark 5:19.. .

  (mark 5:18-20) .

  Thank you somebody for replying , however I am not asking what the NWT says , I have one myself but regretfully discarded the word for word translation of the greek text published by the WT society.which could be different to what the NWT says.That`s why I asked if anybody has The Kigdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Scriptures , and quote what it actually says in the word for word text.of the scriptures cited .

  As an example of their deception , in the KIT of john 1;1 it states " and God was the word" with no indefinite article such as "a" , however , in their interpretation of that scripture , they state that the word was "a" God.

  But that`s not what their word for word translation states , do you get my drift ?

  It`s no wonder Jehovah`s Witnesses can`t see the "truth" about the truth , they have been blinded by so much new light.being dispensed.

  The UN Files - Print Out And Keep For Your Next JW Visitor

  i've been researching the wt and the un involvement.

  when i was still in and i first seen the un letter online, my cognitive dissonance kicked and i told myself it'll be a fake.

  an apostate lie.. and seeing as no jw i've spoken to has ever heard of it, and flatly deny any involvement "no, they wouldn't do that", i decided to do a little "personal study" of my own.

  The average old time Jehovah`s Witnes has his/her head deep in the sand,refusing to believe or accept what is obvious to a blind man.

  Are you going to believe what the UN says about jehovah`s witness involvement in the United Nations ?

  Or are you going to believe what the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses say about their involvement. with the United Nations.

  Both of them admit Jehovah`s Witnesses were a member of the NGO , a non governmental organization that proscribed to the fundamental criteria of being a member of the NGO of the UN.

  And they were members of the UN as an NGO for approximately 9 years 1990- 2000 approximately., first exposed by a Uk journalist

  You watch a convention of JW`s , Mormons , SDA `s etc,. and you will find happy young people everywhere .

  You probably would have found them in Jonestown / Waco , Medina ,/ Mecca ,, etc. also.

  That is no validation for truth

  Do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe what the Bible actually states in scripture ? or do they just accept what their current INTERPRETATION of scripture is.

  I was always taught they believed what the scriptures actually said and not what others interpretated those scripture to mean.

  Of course they always meant Christendom here ,particulary the R.C.Church , never themselves.

  Getting back to the OP , what does the word for word translation say of the scriptures in question Luke 8:37-39

  Mark 5:18-20 ?

  in "The Kingdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Sriptures " printed by the WTB&TS , anybody ?

  JWs do Volunteer To Help Worldly Organizations Distribute Food to the Needy

  by Athanasius in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  some months back i posted a topic asking if jws were now encouraged to volunteer their time for charitable organizations, as one of the volunteers who i work with was promoting jw.org to one of the spanish speaking workers.

  because of that, i guessed that he was a jw.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5708790489939968/jws-now-encouraged-volunteer.

  well the other day as he and i were folding and stacking tables after distributing food to the needy, i mentioned that after i retired i got bored and decided to do volunteer work.

  Actually it`s not quite clear whether he is a current JW or an ex JW , which might explain it a bit more.

  My bet would be he is an ex .

  Jeehoober says we can clap for reinstated ones!!

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  so, i guess an upcoming wt has some new light on clapping!

  evidently, jesus has misinformed the gb/wtbts since the late 90's.

  clapping was disrespectful, because jesus felt that those who were df'd should not be given a pat on the back.

  Where does it say in the Christian greek Scriptures that a sinner has to wait anything up to 12 months or longer who has been DF or ex Communicated from the congregation to be re-united within the congregation. ?

  Doesnt that fly in the face of the parable of the prodigal Son ?

  The Watchtower and Awake magazines , along with the many other publications ,produced by the WTB&TS , over many years , such as the "Aid To Bible Understanding" , "Equipped For Every Good Work" , "Jehovah`s Witnesses In The Divine Purpose" the New World Translation of the Bible , the Kingdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Scriptures , etc,etc.

  Have provided Jehovah`s Witnesses with an education that you could not find in any University of higher education anywhere in the world for preparing ones life in the coming New System , so close at hand .

  The education JW`s provide since 1879 is next to none , and I mean none.

  Why would members of the Governing Body need to look any further.? It`s all there for the taking .
