Mall Cop, I feel bad to read such a sad reply. If you are a Christian and believe in the bible, yet cannot love Jesus Christ because you don't know him.....that's just sad. I believe he knows you and has counted every hair in your head.

18"If anyone LOVES me, he will keep my word..."
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and all those who go with... may you have peace!.
when i was first directed to this "city" 9 years ago, it was with a very purposeful message.
if a man loves me, he will obey my commandments and my father will love him, and we will come to him... and make our abode with him.

What is the Biblical Support for Observers at the Memorial ???
by RubaDub ini have never gotten a good answer for this questions from any other jw's other than "everyone was of the annointed back in the first century" or "we are showing our respect for the arrangement" or some other nondescript comment.. even the notion that we "celebrate" the memorial is not accurate since the "celebration" part is limited to 8 or 9 thousand people and the 15 million or so that attend are merely observing or watching.. is there some other biblical support for people to observe the celebration ???
in all my life as a jw, i still don't quite understand the significance of it from a biblical persective.. rub a dub .

Is that what you did TT? I mean, really, how would you know? Sounds like more party line propaganda from the 'Watchtower' or 'Awake' then from any real experiences.

No need to be rude is there? I have spoken with a many Jew regarding Christianity, however, I don't look to Jews for my Christianity. Jews do not accept the NT. I do. Why would I look to Jews for Christian answers? I might as well as Muslim. Also, I am not a fundamentalist, I'm a Christian. Your diversionary tactics undermine youir own beleifs [if you're a JW]. What JW looks to what a modern Rabbi would say to define their faith. What JW is even permitted to 'study' with a Jewish rabbi?
How is reading and believing in scripture being brainwashed anyway? Perhaps you're projecting something that you are feeling.

As a Jew would? Which Jewish group would I look to for that? The Jews didn't understand the nature of God [same as today for us all], however there are still truths that shine forward and cannot be contidicted. Sure, they argued about what exactly did God mean when he reveals himself as we.
Truth- There are 2 words for one in Hebrew. There is 'yachid' meaning only one, something that is solitary.
Then there is the word 'echad' which usaully suggests a synergy of more than one. For example 'day and night became one day', husband and wife became one flesh'.
It is the word echad which discribes Jehovah God without exception. Even 'we made man in our image, according to our likeness'. The tower of babel the Lord says 'let us go down' yet no one else goes down with him.

yes, the 1st Christians were Jews [hello apostles and Jesus mother], but in the book of acts, many non jews became Christians. Jesus came for all people, didn't he? The very first folks to worship Jesus were pagans, not Jews [hello 3 wise men]. As for what the 1st Christians believed after scriptures, see the church fathers who were taught from the apostles themselves. Do you think that Jesus was an idiot who didn't know how to get His church moving? He promised that it would stand though all ages, for all people and against the gates of hell. Didn't he? Many Jews [most Jews] are still waiting for their savior, most Christains are waiting for his return, and a few believe that he is here now [unseen].

so I should consult a Rabbi on what Christianity means? Is that what you did? Where is this proof that early bishops inserted new teachings. It sounds like you think the NT is rubbish and not from God.

I thought that the name Jehovah came around the 5th century, but regardless of when it came to be, is most definately is not God's name. The 4 letter unpronounceable tetragramatron [spelling?] was used because the Lord's name was never supposed to be spoken. Both Yawey and Jehovah were the result of adding the vowels from lord [adoney] and placing them between the tetragramatron. Atleast, that's what I seem to remember reading. Although it may have been a catholic who coined the term, it is not a catholic teaching. As a matter of fact, the catholic church will not use it because it is a false name or rather a hybrid nickname.
