Another new book: Jehovah's Witnesses - AN EXPOSE, written by a former elder and retired veteran United Airlines pilot

by AndersonsInfo in

a comprehensive new book:.

"the good... the bad... the deceptive.... and worse!

an expose".

Fernando

Sorry for your loss Dale.

I'm sure you are proud of Jim's principled stand against the apostate religious hierarchy, their corruption and their abuses.

(Ezekiel 9:4) . . .“Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and you must put a mark on the foreheads of the men that are sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the midst of it.”

May you and your family be strengthened and blessed until you are all once again reunited with Jim in the "everlasting dwelling places" spoken of in Luke 16:9.

Greetings

Why has the watchtower never written a commentary on the Greek scriptures?

by kneehighmiah in

jw
friends

they have writes hundreds of other repetitive books, but no bible commentary.

is it because an actually commentary would destroy their doctrine and prevent them from being able to cherry pick scriptures?.

Fernando

A genuine "Commentary on Galatians" would be devastating.

How did you find the truth about the truth (TTATT)

by Maat13 in

i am sure there has been a post about this subject, however being a recent addition to the network i don't know how to do a search.

and i'm sure new folks have joined since then.

i am really curious of how others came to know ttatt.. for me is was a real bad experience with one elder after another.

Fernando

When the "elders" threatened us to stop speaking about the liberating gospel of grace as found in the Watchtower library.

Do you think the age has passed when there can be no new religions?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i think we are already living in the age where there can be no new religions.

we have access to information like never before and anyone claiming revelations of something new and starting a whole new religion can easily be discredited.. christianity and islam may continue to subdivide but i think we've pretty much seen the end of anything new in terms of a new belief system.. .

what are your thoughts on this?.

Fernando

Religion I believe has had its heyday and has been in decline since the partial death blow dealt in 1517 by Martin Luther.

What is the key to free yourself from the Organization?

by suavojr in

they key to free yourself from the organization is having mental clarity of what is happening in relation to the watchtower, inside and out.

their basic concept is that they are god's sole organization on earth.

there really is no basis for anyone to make that statement.

Fernando

For our family the key was the liberating gospel (or Good News) according to Paul (and others).

Isaiah 61:1:

"The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me [Jesus], for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me [Jesus] to tell [the] good news to the meek ones [sheep or wheat]. He has sent me [Jesus] to bind up the brokenhearted [spiritually deprived and unregenerated], to proclaim [spiritual] liberty to those taken [spiritually] captive [by religion/ists] and the wide opening [of the spiritual eyes] even to the [spiritual] prisoners [of religion/ists]".

Seeing the Pharisees ("elders") deep contempt, hatred and fear of the unabridged gospel of grace was the final clincher.

"Probably You Might be Saved" - Somewhere in Zephaniah As I Recall

by Perry in

the watchtower (and old-timers in the org) love to quote old testament passages that were directed toward israel.

however, the new testament is "a better covenant based upon better promises".. in the following verses, salvation is not described as a possibility, but as a certainty, as a present possession for the original christians:.

justification is a present possession (rom.

Fernando

I would like to know how a Jew views those verses, designs.

ok. now i find myself in an odd situation.

my wife's family, who has let the witnesses walk all over her for 30 years, is trying to play nice.

(mother-in-law is a witness.

What WingCommander said.

What must one do with relentlessly abusive, extremely toxic, and extreme destructive family members, except take note of just how poisonous the food is that Watchtower followers are being fed?

by moSIS in

please don't attack me if this is the wrong place!

i know that i definitely shouldn't be on this website, but i am to embarassed to ask anyone at my hall!

everyone would be so nice, but i just feel like i should know the answers already.

Fernando

Welcome moSIS.

It is quite easy to ignore the small handful of unfriendly posts and posters, and have a blast on JWN, if you put your mind to it.

Please keep coming back and sharing whatever you are conmfortable to.

Another website you definitely should (not) visit is JWfacts.com

Best wishes on your life journey
