  Jehovah`s Witnesses an Old Testament Religion

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jehovah`s witnesses claim to be a christian religion , however looking at their history , publications ,such as the watchtower and awake mags., their conventions ,international ,regional ,local ,etc.their books pamphlets ,brochures ,etc.etc.

  you are hard pressed to find references to the new testament and references to jesus and his ministry .. they seem to be more focused on the old testament , and the god of the old testament.jehovah.

  even in their dramas at conventions , international and local events they are pre-occupied with old testament accounts and experiences , and not christian experiences , examples or ,lives to emulate .. they claim to be a christian religion and very seldom do they highlight the name of jesus , or his teachings , they are fixed on the old testament name of jehovah , and what he did in the old testament.

  They claim to be a Christian Religion and very seldom do they highlight the name of JESUS , or his teachings , they are fixed on the Old Testament name of Jehovah , and what he did in the Old Testament. Jehovah a name Christendom invented.around the thirteenth Century., and J.W.`s adopted for their religion.

  The general feeling is the old testament GOD is a bloodthirsty God of war, an avenging God.

  The general feeling in the New testament of Jesus is a God of love and forgiveness .

  And Jehovah`s Witnesses choose to back the GOD of the Old Testament against JESUS

  Your feelings for the former travelling overseers

  by Hecce in

  2. beliefs

  during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.

  i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.

  at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

  I would have more respect for travelling overseers /former travelling overseers if they came on this site and apologized for their time with the Borganization , in promoting a sham of a religion known as Jehovah`s Witnesses .

  Otherwise they can whistle dixie and drift off into the sunset .

  Eisenhower used WT Bible when sworn into office

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  2. friends

  joel rosenburg was on tv a few minutes ago talking about eisenhower's background.

  he mentioned that his father left the religion after the end of the world did not happen in 1914 and that his mother continued.

  then he mentioned that when he was sworn into office, he had his hands on a bible published by jehovah's witnesses.

  When i was studying with Jehovah`s Witnesses in 1959 , the Bible they were using was the American Standard Version , why ? because it used the name Jehovah throughout..

  Whether Poopie`s OP is valid or not , the responses it has generated shows their is a real problem with young people , some pre teens being baptized and the consequences that follow when they fall foul of the obligations that are expected of them at such a young age.Disfellowshipping and shunning .

  Let`s focus on those issues as they are real .

  The memorial beauty pageant

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!

  the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.

  in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.

  BlackWolf , that just about sums it up for all Convention appearances as well doesn`t it ?

  It all comes down to a fashion parade among all the chicks to see if they can impress all the horny young guys , and vice/versa .

  The event has nothing to do with the spiritual aspects of the meeting ,it`s just an avenue to put yourself out their for all to see as you parade yourself around the grounds

  Hey don`t get me wrong , the guys are just the same , Conventions are like a meat market , a calf sale ,what`s available , and does he/she meet with my , or my parents approval as a suitable mate.?
