  My Letter to Brooklyn about the Parousia that got me disfellowshipped

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is the letter i wrote back in '96 about the parousia.

  following the '95 watchtower that disconnected the "generation" from 1914 i began to look carefully at end-time prophecy and soon discovered what i knew were basic errors in what i had been taught.. i was a loyal jw at the time and was still serving as an elder.

  i used only watchtower publications in my research.

  Cofty, excellent research and articulation of the subject...your approach was very Ray Franz-like. I think your comments were very non-threatening...

  Too bad it is the utterances inspired by demons, spewed by mentally diseased apostates! (LOL)

  did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

  why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

  why were you serving jehovah at all?

  A Watcher...I am disappointed that you won't answer questions directly...are you not confident in your proofs?

  Watcher...why would you say the Abraham led to the Christians, who then led to the JW's? I thought JW's were the only true Christians? In your line of reasoning, JW's would not be worshiping like the 1st Century Christians, since early Christians gathered "annointed" while JW's gather "great crowd". Would you please provide scriptural back up for that staement?

  If JW's are different from their 1st Century brethren, why do they refer to themselves as the only "true Christians"?

  so given the amount of focus on things that we can be angry or upset about, or how we have been wronged or abused.... i thought it was time for a bit of a change.. how about sharing some fun experiences?!!

  ok, i will start.

  i promised, in my opening post the other day, that i would share some that have happened over the years.

  We used to have a wonderful, but crazy Elder who also was a Pioneer. When I would go out in FS, he actually made it tolerable. Our territory was high density apartments, so if someone was rude at the door, the Elder would take their doormat and fling it down the hallway! Interesting response, but it kept me entertained! LOL

  Did Jesus Use Gods Personal Name?

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wt says yes.

  i looked it up a few weeks ago and they said "we can be sure he used his fathers name".

  for me the argument is more just interesting from a biblical and academic stand point.

  QC...I am surprised they never changed the NWT rendering of that scripture to Jehovah instead of Father.

  I always found it interesting that in Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus said, "you must pray, then, this way: Our Father in the Heavens, let your name be sanctified..." If we were to use HIS name, wouldn't he have said, "Jehovah in Heaven, let your name be sanctified..."? I always wondered about this...
