My last comment on this Post is the following message to Legendary U.2.K.:
What would Jesus Christ (the Lord you say you are following), think about your attitude?
Would Jesus Christ have EVER told someone who lost their loved ones to GET OVER IT and STOP WEEPING?
Just look at the Scriptures I posted in this Thread.
Also, I would like to also say how truly saddened I am about the loss of all of those innocent people's lives on September the 11th, 2001, and that I pray for all of the families who lost their loved ones on that day.

here is a list of contradictions between what the watchtower society says and what the bible says:.
the watchtower says that judas iscariot left the lord's evening meal (memorial) before jesus instituted the new covenant and passed the wine and bread.. what does the bible say?:.
luke 22:13: they went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the passover.
Here is another BIG CONTRADICTION between the Watchtower and the Bible:
The Watchtower Society says that Jesus Christ was Resurrected as a "Spirit Creature" and that He no longer had His Body because Jehovah (The Father) "zapped" His Body out of existence.
What does the Bible say?:
John 2:18: The Jews therefore answered Him, "What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?"
John 2:19: Jesus answered them, "Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise It up."
John 2:20: The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this Temple in building, and will You raise it up in three days?"
John 2:21: But He spoke of the Temple of HIS BODY.
John 2:22: When therefore He was raised from the dead, His Disciples remembered that He said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the Word which Jesus had said.
Luke 24:36: As they said these things, Jesus Himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
Luke 24:37: But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen A SPIRIT.
Luke 24:38: He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:39: See My hands and My feet, that it is truly Me. Touch Me and see, for A SPIRIT doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."
Luke 24:40: When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
Luke 24:41: While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered, He said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
Luke 24:42: They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
Luke 24:43: He took them, and ate in front of them.
Luke 24:44: He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning Me must be fulfilled."
Also, the Watchtower likes to say that Jesus could not have taken His Body into Heaven because it is written "Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God", BUT NOTICE, Luke 24:29 says that Jesus' Resurrected Body was FLESH AND BONES, not Flesh and Blood!
here is a list of contradictions between what the watchtower society says and what the bible says:.
the watchtower says that judas iscariot left the lord's evening meal (memorial) before jesus instituted the new covenant and passed the wine and bread.. what does the bible say?:.

shelley,
Thanks for Posting, and that is A GREAT POST INDEED!
There is NOT ONE SCRIPTURE in the ENTIRE BIBLE that says that Jesus is Michael!
I will post some more about this soon.

Hi JosephAlward!
Thanks for your Post! :-)
I will try to look up the Watchtower Publications that say that Jesus became The Christ at His Baptism.
Here are a few Watchtower Quotes:
Holy Spirit - The Force Behind the Coming New Order Book (1975), Page 90:
"When did this Jesus become actually 'Christ the Lord'? Not on the eighth day of his birth, when he was circumcised. He was not anointed on that day. It was when he was thirty years old."
Holy Spirit - The Force Behind the Coming New Order Book (1975), Page 113:
"Jesus was anointed with holy spirit after his baptism in water and he thus became Christ or Anointed One, so too with his disciples."
Insight on the Scriptures Book Volume 2, Pages 1000-1001:
"Jesus of course, continued to be God's son when born as a human, even as he had been in his prehuman existence...However, about 30 years after his birth as a human, when he was immersed by John the Baptizer, God's spirit came upon Jesus and God spoke, saying, 'You are my Son, the beloved; I have approved you'...Evidently Jesus, the man, was then 'born again' to be a spiritual Son with the hope of returning to life in heaven, and he was anointed by spirit to be God's appointed king and high priest."

pseudoxristos,
I should have said "New Testament" above instead of "The Bible".
Edited to add the following:
Also, in the Old Testament, it is my belief, from what I have read in the Bible so far, that God did the following (I could be wrong though):
1. Always warned the people/nations that He was going to destroy them if they did not repent.
2. That most of the time it was God Himself who destroyed the people/nations.
3. That when God did tell His people to destroy enemy nations, God always either used an angel or spoke directly to His people and told them what to do (which is definitely not the case now days).
4. The nations/people that God had destroyed were wicked and evil (I mean look at Sodom and Gomorrah)
Those are just my thoughts and beliefs.

i'm very confused about this 144,000 / heaven thing, i thought i had everything correct, but i'm confused, and i'm very upset.. the bible is very hard to understand.. so i figure if i cant understand everything about who is going to heaven, i do understand that i'm not going, and i will infact survive armageddon and i will be in the new paradise earth - isaiah 65 verse 17<"not a jw teaching, it's a bible teaching(kjv)"........... anyway, peace!
i cry a little cause i'm confused, but i change the world for millions soon..
!wooooo hoooooo, oh yea btw, f--- satan!

pseudoxristos, Thank You for your Post. :-)
I find it hard to believe that people can read the Teachings of Love found in the Bible, and also those which you Posted from the Koran, that anyone read that and then commit acts so wicked (like 9/11) and believe that they are doing "God's Will".
Good point about living this life like it is the only life, HOWEVER, in the Bible, it is clearly obvious that people who DO NOT love their neighbor are NOT going to have ANY sort of Reward in the Afterlife.

We suffer because of other people sin, lol you tell me how many people commit fornication and not repent? Hmmmm what else, We have people who practice magic, celebrate that christmas crap, birthday crap, we have lesbians, gays, porn business's, porn sites, False teachers = Evolution....Etc all kinds of bs, GOD was there, but if we ignore our creator, then'God will ignore us....
Wicked acts you mentioned:
1. Fornication (I agree, definitely a sin)
2. Practicing Magic (I agree, definitely a sin)
3. Lesbians, Gays, Porn Businesses, Porn Sites (I agree, definitely a sin)
4. False teachers = Evolution (I agree)
5. Celebrating that "christmas crap, birthday crap"
How on EARTH could someone think that celebrating the Birth of our Lord is a SIN, let alone that it is as much of a sin as Fornication, Magic, Homosexual activity, Pornography, False Teachers, and Evolution???????!!!???!!??!
I agree that there has been some Catholic/Pagan influence on Christmas (like, I would say that Santa Claus doesn't really need to be involved with the Celebration at all), but to say that it is a SIN to Celebrate our Lord's Birth, I just don't know what to say.
THE HOLY ANGELS OF GOD AND THE SHEPHERDS CELEBRATING OUR LORD'S BIRTHDAY:
Here is a Scripture:
Luke 2:10: The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Luke 2:11: For there is born to you, this day, in the City of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:12: This is the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
Luke 2:13: Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying,
Luke 2:14: "Glory to God in the highest, On Earth peace, good will toward men."
Luke 2:15: It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky, that the shepherds said one to another, "Let's go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
Luke 2:16: They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the Baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Luke 2:17: When they saw the Baby, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this Child.
Luke 2:18: All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Luke 2:19: But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Luke 2:20: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Also, how in the world can you say that Christmas and Birthdays are a wicked sin, and yet, you don't even mention any of the following:
Murder
Abortion (which is Murder of Babies)
Child Molestation
Rape
Stealing

never being a jwi have a question.
my dub friend invited me to her church (whatever) one sunday, which i of course i went - it was ok - nothing special, except i know what you mean about being "love bombed".
my question.... do any non-dubs go to the weekly bookstudies?
DevonMcBride said:
A few months prior to going to the BS (book study), I showed my newly baptised friend copies of old WT publications about the false prophecies, Beth Sarim and Russell using Pyramidology.
That was GREAT -- I don't know why, but I've never called the Book Study what it should be called like you did -- BS! LOL
The Watchtower Society HATES the Noble Beroeans (from Acts 17:10-12), so much in fact, that in their September 15th 2002 Watchtower, they changed "Be like the Beroeans" into meaning "Do NOT be like the Beroeans"!
