Best argument against a Jehovah's Witness?

by Happy in

jw
friends

don't get me wrong, i'm not one to actively persecute jw's, i'm just wondering what you guys think is the best agrument/point to use when a pesky brother or sister just won't leave you alone.

normally, i am willing to listen to their drivel out of respect (even though i have no respect for the wt) but there are times when i am not in the mood to hear them babble.

i normally bring up the 1914 generation point, and it normally works.

I like to use the fact that if they insist that the bible

is the word of god then they must by default admit that

jehovah has worked thru the catholics.....you may have

to explain the history of the bible cannon tho'....they never

seem to know about it...:)

Oh those PAMPHLETS

by Beans in

i was just wondering if the dubs still used this form of door to door work.

as i recall there was a time when we would put them in doors that were "not at homes" and handed them to the people at the doors.

what i also remember was the next time we did it i recall it being a big deal to give them at all doors at they were worried about the costs.

But the Watchtower really is God's Word.Really.

Careful there....don't want to give the accusation of false prophesy any secure foot hold....LOL

really tho....they say that they are not inspired....so what gives....if they are supposed to be spreading the word of god...don't you think they should be giveing bibles door to door?....oh wait there ARE printing costs...even with slave labor.

OK...answer this one

If the reason JW's go door to door is that the bible commands us to spread the word of god this way.....

Then why do they hand out Watchtower and awake mags.?

Should they not be giving copies of the bible?...you know...THE WORD OF GOD!!

The watchtower does not qualify, it's writers are not "inspired".

WT Says Jehovah a mistake

by garybuss in

jw
friends

"as to the old testament name of god, certainly the spelling and pronunciation "jehovah" were originally a blunder.

(the bible in living english, 1972, p.7, watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania) .

what's the deal?

FRUSR8TD

paraphrased from the book "aid to bible understanding" 1971 edition

according to this book on page 884, Jehovah came from combineing YHVH with the vowels of lord (adhonay). The reason was that the scribes would use this as a form of code to remind the person reading aloud to say lord instead of god's name. Soooo....god's true name is jehovah....a traslation of a combination of YHVH and 'adoh-nay'.

Why does this just NOT seem to wash...

Quotes....I will e-mail you a scan of this and you can tell me if you get the same thing from it.

2 Cor 4:4: Jehovah=Satan?

by Sirona in

i just can't see the answer to this question.

it may be obvious, so please forgive me if you think i'm silly for asking.. 2 corinthians 4 verse 4 in the nwt:.

"among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the christ, who is the image of god, might not shine through".

FRUSR8TD

Put another way, in relation to the great God Jehovah the Devil is merely a god, but as the sole ruler of this system of things he is the god---for the time being anyway. Hope that helps / You Know

sooooo....now the JW's believe in 3 gods?.....keeps getting ~~brighter~~ deeper my the minute

Creepiest poster of all time?

by The_Bad_Seed in

jw
friends

while having most enjoyed my 4 month tenure here at jwc, i have come across quite a few posters that leave me with this vomitous lynchian feeling in my stomach after having read their messages and responses or retorts to the community - not because they speak of sickening things, but because they are really, really goddamn creepy.

in my opinion, the creepiest poster i have come across is comforter.

he may not be the worlds greatest writer, or even all that scary, but he creeps me out nonetheless.. cast your votes for creepiest poster of all time.

friends

we are going to have an extensive article in the new york times this sunday.

there is an early addition that comes out in most cities around on saturday.

i encourage one and all to get your copy and do not miss the important piece of history.

FRUSR8TD

Well I had to go look in my local paper....they usually run some articles from the times in the front section and low and behold...."jehovah's witnesses expel abuse wistle-blowers"

now the important thing to note it that there are important worsds left out...like alledged or reportedly. The headline tells it like it is.

I sat there and went

CHA-CHING!!! YES YES YES!!!!
