  Can someone explain Babylon the Great?

  i want to know what you guys believe "babylon the great" is.

  the witnesses told me its all false religions and is described as some woman on a beast with many heads and some chalice or something symbolizing all false religion.

  i think that was the jist of it.

  stuff i never really touched much when i was a studying with the witnesses.

  i'm in awe.. amazed.. at the things jesus is saying/doing.. some of it is even putting me in tears.

  one chapter that i really love so far is i'm in luke and i'm reading about the woman who came into the pharisee's home and started kissing jesus' feet and jesus told the story of the two people that owed money.

  Why isn' the name "Jehovah" used?

  by MichaelM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it because many believe that jesus christ / god / holy spirit are all one being, and after jesus christ was born they stopped using god's name and put all focus on jesus?

  i've been studying with the jw's for a few months and i've attended a few meetings but things are feeling somewhat strange...i don't quite get the jist of things but i feel that i'm learning more of what the watchtower teachers and less of what the bible actually says.. i never open my bible.. i'm always reading the watchtower pamphlets.

  i really like the people i've met in the congregation and the guy thats been doing the studies with me has been an awesome friend.. .

  but i'm just having some issues.. i mean.. they translated their own bible to suit their own doctrines it seems.

  After reading many topics.. I'm confused. Is this a JW forum or an ANTI-JW?

  i'm studying with a jehovah's witness and it makes quite a bit of sense but i've been reading many topics on here and it seems that i can find every christian denomination and every religion except jehovahs witnesses.

  do any jw's actually browse here?

  maybe i'm just getting unlucky and picking the wrong topics where everyones discussing about how they used to be jw's.
