I have a question, do the JW' still believe that....,

by cawshun in

do the jw's still believe that they were chosen by jesus as god's one true religion, by what charles russel taught?

do they stand on that or do they feel they were chosen later under rutherford?

if they accept that russel was chosen and rutherford changed things up, wouldn't rutherford be an apostate?.

Sir82,

So based on those 4 things only, they had Jesus approval, no matter what else they were teaching at that time? So the proper food at the propper time was based only on these 4 things, no dates? Nothing on the doctrines they were preaching?

I have seen one picture of a Christmas dinner at Bethel, is there other proof that they celebrated Christmas?

I believe I read, maybe on this forum, that Rutherford was the one to stop the celebrating of Christmas. Is there some place to find this, what publication that show's it was celebrated till Rutherford stopped it?

Thanks Wobble, I would like to ask this question to my son in law, I don't want him to give me some answer or point me to some scripture that I am unaware of, I wan't to be able to prove him wrong. I don't want to be caught off guard. I'm not planning on doing this anytime soon, just trying to prepare for that day.

Thanks

I have read so many confusing teachings by the WT, I don't know what to think. What is their true belief of how they were chosen to be God's channel on earth, until we know when, how and why they were chosen, nothing is to be trusted. I am not sure what it is they are teaching about this today.

If I were studying with a JW and I asked them to prove to me why they think they are Gods channel and that they have the truth over all religions, what would I be told?

I am so sick of hearing the word "soon."

by TooBad TooSad in

the use of the word "soon" at the kh is used so much by jw's.

that it has almost turned into a "soon" doctrine.. i counted the word soon 15 times at the meeting yesterday during the.

public talk and wt.

cawshun

TooBad TooSad, Thanks for pointing this out the way you did. We all have heard the "soon" word but when put in the contex you just used, one can see how rediciulous they are.

I guess this could be another "loaded word".

"And how old is the Proclaimers book?"

by passwordprotected in

i had a frank discussion with my parents yesterday that ended up in the cul-de-sac of "how did the organisation start?

" i told them that all they need to know about the origins of the org are in the proclaimers book, of how chuck started his own religion, or how he got his ideas from the adventists and a lovely fellow called barbour and how chuck preached that christ had returned in 1874 and that the last days had started in 1799.. my parents were unwilling to accept this, so i said, "read your proclaimers book!

y'know what my mum's answer to that was?.

Gordy, thanks for the link, a great help in understanding the Proclaimers book, bookmarked.

Thanks, so when your speaking of the watchtower book, your talking about a book put together using all the watchtowers from a certain year? I know the watchtower magazines don't have that many pages.

Blondi or anyone, when you quote like you did in this post, W.74 8/15 p. 507 , what exactly does the W stand for, how can I find this. I'm not a jw so I'm not sure what your source is.
