  Who was the biggest Jehovah's Witness rebel?

  who was raised a jw and went on to lead life in stark contrast to their upbringing?.

  i have often thought the award should go to dwight eisenhower.

  from a religion that railed against politics and warfare he first invaded western europe and then went on to become president of the united states.

  How Jesus Returns?

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you believe that jesus returned invisibly, i'd like to know why you still cling to that wt dictate.. but my question is more for those who believe the return is yet to come.. according to scriptures, jesus appeared to many people after his resurrection, but the acension was not a "grand send off".. in acts it says that he will return in like manner.

  several scriptures say he will come in the clouds with great glory; that does not seem like the way he left, at least from what we have of scriptural infomation.

  do you think that all will see his coming, but that he will personally appear only to his followers?.

  Avoid Spiritism? Is it the work of demons?

  by bbinkss in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible tells us to 'avoid spiritism'.

  even if we believe in life after death, can our loved ones contact us or are satan and his demons deceiving us?.

  i know that there are so many frauds out there and i am far from gullible, i know to look for generalised statements and 'cold reading'........however....... i really think i have seen the work of a genuine medium!.

  Christians - What do you believe about Armageddon?

  by JayBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always wondered what mainstream christianity's viewpoint is in regards to armageddon.

  i understand there's no timetable.

  but that sense of urgency that exists with jws doesn't seem to be there either.

  Are elders angels?

  by hamilcarr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's amazing to see how all the supernatural beings mentioned in the bible are supposed to have a counterpart in real world, more specifically within the hierarchical wt structure.

  a previous wt study pointed out that the governing body corresponds to jehovah in its capacity of sending out representatives.

  jesus was said to correspond to the class of missionaries taught by the governing body, just like jesus (or michael) had been instructed by his heavenly father.

  A Challenge to a JW teaching

  by NewTruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the perfect flesh (not bent toward sin?

  ) okay, i would like to challenge a jw belief on the flesh - so here it goes........... there is the notion that the flesh of adam was perfect and therefore not bent toward sin and the flesh thereafter is imperfect, bent toward sinning.

  my idea is that adam and eve's flesh as well as ours is, in itself bent toward wanting to be satisfied and thereby 'missing the mark'.

  Jesus as Michael

  by Kphoto in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let me start by stating that i'm not a jehovah's witness but have family who have been discussing it with me and i am hoping for a better answer than i have gotten thus far.

  i can find no scriptural backing for jesus being the arch-angel michael.

  in fact i find things that seem to show me that they are two distinctly different beings.
