another thing that JWS have got right is that they give the tetragrammaton three syllables - Ruby
Why do you think that is right?
By the way there are dozens of strong women posting very successfully on this forum. They really don't need you to campaign for them.
i was wondering if someone could help me with a question.. i am a rookie exjw, i only left the organization 4 months ago and everything i've discovered (un/arc/malawi/mexico etc) i've only discovered in the last few months so you can image it's been a huge shock to me especially after after 50 yrs!.
every time i think i've heard everything, something else pops up.. now i've come across a youtube video that mention tv evangelizer jimmy swaggart and the watchtower.
i remember jimmy swaggart from the time i lived in the u.s.a and i remember the scandals with him and prostitutes etc.
Thanks for the time line Splash.

a simple refutation is that he was waiting for the right sort of people to come along and take it up anew. people who would strive to live up to his name. happens all the time - Ruby
What utter nonsense!
The right sort of people? For goodness sake this thread is getting even more insane.

Let's review - JWs and Evangelicals are all founded on a delusion.

Another strong line of evidence is the fact JWs refuse to kill each other, which one would have thought would be a basic requirement for a Christian community, but which distinguishes JWs from most (notice I didn't say all, don't misquote me) Christians - SBF
Pacifism is morally indefensible.
Can I assume you are going back to the child-abusing, family destroying, dehumanising, obedience-demanding cult, but you feel the need to justify your decision with this bullshit?
what are your convictions now that you are no longer one of jehovah's witnesses?
are you a born again christian?
have you joined another denomination of christianity?
Didn't Portuguese police speak to psychics about Madeleine Mccann?
Then they are dangerous idiots.

I am bothered that some posters want to snipe about 'postmodernism' rather than engage on the actual arguments - Laika
I'm not bothered in the slightest about whether or not some form of the divine name appeared in the LXX or the NT. I think it's trivial and uninteresting.
I am bothered that SBF is waffling about these "crucial times" and "the last days".
SBF's inability to judge the WT as a dangerous, lying, child-abusing, family-destroying, dehumanising cult is directly connected to his relativistic postmodern worldview.
Edited to add- If you bother to read the thread you will see I did engage with the actual argument.

Well said galaxie.
This is what happens when you buy into post-modern relativism. Even an evil cult cannot be judged as right or wrong. Instead you end up waffling about whether or not their "truths" are useful.
Before you know it you are back into cult-speak about "crucial times" and "last days".
