  Was Jesus really a Jehovah`s Witness ? He never identified himself as such , in word or deed.

  also he never chastised the jews for not identifying themselves as jehovah`s witnesses following isaiah`s statement at ch.43 :10-12 , so many years before hand.. and he had ample opportunity to do so on numerous occasions .. jesus himself never used the divine name /jehovah or any other equivalent , in any of his sayings attributed to him by his contemporaries .. sure he acknowledged god as his father and that he did his fathers will , but he never acknowledged him by a personal name such as jehovah or anything like it.. and lets not forget acts 11:26 it was first in antioch that followers of jesus by divine providence were to be called christians , not jehovah`s witnesses,.

  smiddy.

  While Jesus was not a Jehovah's Witness (the religion was founded well after he died), they do both hold at least one commonality. Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher who thought God was going to fix everything in his lifetime. So really, the JWs adopted this from a Jewish rabbi. What is odd is how much JWs actually hate the Jews, yet much of what they believe in came from a Jew.

  Running ahead of Jehovah can be done with a slow walk.

  a few days ago i read a post of someone who has recently awakened to what the watchtower bible and tract society really is.

  in their comments, they stated that they had been accused of "running ahead of jehovah.".

  "running ahead of jehovah" was a statement levied at me many times during my convoluted journey through that organization.

  Whoopsie - I did a DoS attack against myself !

  sorry the site was offline for a short while - i kicked off a re-index of the site to pick up the http -> https changeover and, well, i didn't put any rate limits in place so google went full bore at it.

  having the site hosted in google's data centre probably helps it go faster than normal.. in other news, i now know the site can scale to handle an insane number of requests if it ever needs to (as long as i put some more coins in the meter)..

  RC Was Worse Than I thought...

  2. experiences

  i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.

  now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".

  some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

  The other day the Mormons Morons were at my friends house. They told him that 'atonement is coming'. He didn't have time to get into with them so he told them to get lost.
  
  It would seem there is more than one fundamentalist group presently ratcheting up the crazy.

  Back in 2010, I had to have an internet connection installed at my Dad's house because I needed to work from his place while I assisted him with his cataract post-surgery procedures.

  He was major league freaked out. Dad thought Satan himself was going to ooze right into the house through the wires.
  

  Of course, nothing bad happened.

  Even back then they had their website although it wasn't great (yeah, it still isn't) and it was pre-video era. Now it's their pride and joy. Soooo.... what happened to change the demons coming through the interwebs to infect everyone to now it's all a-ok?

  They conduct far too much tacking in the wind. They never make any real headway.

  Religion: Overselling and Under Delivering

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you've worked in any kind of business where one group of people sells things that another group has to deliver as a service, you inevitably run into problems.

  this is especially true in it services where poor sales people over-sell things.

  that is, they can't sell 6 months of work but they can sell 3 months of work or throw in some other promises ... so they do ... and some techy person then gets landed with an impossible task and is viewed as under delivering while the sales-person gets a bonus for their great sales job unless their management is savvy enough (they never are).

  Orginal sin: Tree of knowledge of good and evil

  by dreddie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  telling and knowing the truth.. it is your job to tell and know the truth and not be decived by the lies of satan.. believing this, you need the knowledge of what is good and evil.

  because with the bible you believe you can know the truth.

  where there is no knowledge of the truth and good and evil.

  dreddie, the Bible did not come from God or Satan. God and Satan are mythological inventions.

  The Bible was compiled by Constantine's Council of Nicaea using what these religious leaders decided were 'divinely' inspired writings from numerous different male authors over a 1500+ year period.

  we will not weigh you down with burdensome lists, as you have the freedom to choose, but here is our list anyway.some snippets:.

  the law showed jehovah’s strong feelings against clothing that does not make clear the distinction between male and female—what has been described in our day as unisex fashion.

  (read deuteronomy 22:5.
