  Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

  they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

  " the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

  Referring to ridiculous suppositions and conclusions as "Escapism" is insulting?

  Being so gullible is FAR more insulting...

  DD claims to preach the same 'gospel' Christ relayed to the thief.

  Escapism; there are no details of all Christ may have explained to that thief.

  Getting into Arguments with JW's...

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm trying to fade away, but i sometimes find myself in discussions or arguments with jw family/friends/white haired virgin elders.

  now, i usually have them beat on things but i'm not very experienced, so i was thinking if you guys could help me put together a list of completely unanswerable questions to pose to my jw friends/family/elders so they can stop bugging me.

  if i keep asking them questions they simply cannot answer, then they might leave them alone.

  A 'dialogue', in your mind, appears to be acceptance of anything science says. Sorry; I don't belong to THAT church.

  I'm disappointed in you, Casper. False implications, then cheap cut of the Bible.

  Would you have felt better if the first man and woman (or ape and she-ape) wore nice clothes. Talking snake vs a fish turning into a snake, and talking HUMANS?

  THAT is nonsense.

  " This verse seems to indicate that "the body" ( so¯ma) and "the soul" ( psuche¯) are separate, even using the word "both" ( kai) to distinguish between the two ."

  Mad: SEEMS to, only when thinking in churchese. The "Soul" is not some kind of spirit thing that is us in a physical body; man BECAME a living soul when God breathed life into him. God's spirit thru the physical body enabled OUR spirit (remember how God's bears witness to ours?). So the body dies, as well as the lifeforce that is "Our" spirit. God's spirit returns to him, We then not only die- but will never be resurrected. It is the SECOND Death- with no ransom to deliver.

  "I've been teaching simple faith in the good news Christ gave the criminal"

  Mad: What Good News was that?

  Luke 23: 40- But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

  43 And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

  (Or "Truly I tell you here and now- you WILL be with me in paradise!" No commas in Koine Greek)

  Did Jesus tell him about his sacrifice, or soon resurrection, or what God would do at the Appointed Time? What 'gospel' did Jesus tell this man? That he would be resurrected and would be with Jesus? YES! That WAS good news to that thief; to be forgiven and to have his approval!

  Is THAT the 'good news' you preach? You forgive sin, too? You will be resurrecting people too?

  What escapism.
