  The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name

  by slimboyfat in

  jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.

  but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .

  i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

  I have a thousand things to do that are more interesting - and less demeaning - than talking to you about "Satan".

  Yeah whatever. You carry on waffling about an almighty god who couldn't prevent a fallen angel from eradicating his name from his biography.

  One minute you are trying to impress us with academic research and the next you sound like Benny Hinn.

  Satan hates Jehovah's name - SBF

  You have retreated into a world of childish delusions.

  Either that or you are attention seeking.

  Don't forget Satan hates the name and works against it.

  Total fucking insanity!

  I agree with slimboyfat regarding the name Jehovah - that it is a success story for Jehovah's witnesses as recent evidence backs up their claims

  It occurs nowhere in the NT. The cult have used deception to cover up this inconvenient fact. If this is a success I would be curious to know how you define failure.

  " Recent evidence" does not back up their claims at all. The data in the recent book has been around for years. It hasn't exactly caused any stir in NT studies.

  I can't recall where I read it now but the most interesting idea I ever encountered regarding the divine name linked "yah-weh" with breathing.

  Breath in through an open mouth and out through the lips and you say yah-weh with every breath.

  It made sense in terms of the Abrahamic God being a "spirit".

  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.

  Rookie exJW Question

  by Phoebe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.
