16Is the Watchtower is blind to Jesus' teachings?
by Fernando injesus ate with common sinners declaring that they were in (matt 21:31).. jesus denounced religious leaders declaring that they were out (matt 23 esp v15).. still the watchtower persists in making their own determinations, according to their own rules, who is in and who is out (prov 17:15).
.
this is why the apostate watchtower ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy surreptitiously and contemptuously hate and obfuscate the unabridged gospel which teaches that a right and clean standing is imputed on the basis of grace (faith) and not merit (works).. are their similar instances that come to mind for you?.

Some Early Church Fathers even ignored the name YHWH
by opusdei1972 ini was reading the bart's answer to terry on th name "jehovah", and i remembered that when i did my personal study about the church fathers of the second century i found that justin martyr ignored the divine name:.
from the first apology of justin martyr:.
... and as many virtues as are peculiar to a god who is called by no proper name.

Jesus said that no one knows the name of the father except those that Jesus has revealed his name to. To think that Jesus told a catholic monk the father's name and he told everyone one else would make Jesus a liar.

Biblical beliefs that are similar to older pagan beliefs
by M.J. ini'd like to list some beliefs within judaism and christianity that bear a resemblance to older pagan beliefs.
the wts is deceptive when they selectively point out such parallels, but only with respect to beliefs they reject.. for example, the wts argues that the origin of the concept of the immortal soul is in egyptian and babylonian mythology, both of which espoused such a concept.
but they neglect to also point out that babylonians wrote flood accounts similar to the noah story before the writing of genesis, or that baptism was practiced in pagan religions before the birth of christ.

Almost every culture of people had tried to connect with nature, life and/or the hereafter. All pagan faiths were made [by man maybe spirit too] as a means to come closer to the source of life. As a result there are probably more than a few pagan beliefs that may have some truth.
We find truth where we find truth.
As an example I would say it is probably true that prayer with incense may be more focused because you are seemingly putting more effort then just praying without incense. Wedding bands or rings are another pagan tradition that reminds one of their commitments to their spouse.
Just an observation

I'm the one who needs to "come to his senses" ?????
by Phizzy ini was in conversation a few weeks back with a jw i have known for at least four decades.
most of it was catching up on family stuff, he has loads of kids, some have married and produced sprogs since i left.
all news to me.. i demolished a couple of his fatuous arguments, and then he decided to scuttle away, throwing this over his shoulder as he went :.

I think you either believe the bible is the word of God or you do not.
To me Jws do neither. They will say that they believe the bible and come door to door with one.
Show them any one of the [dozens of] proof texts against their beliefs and you're the one who can't comprehend the truth.
That's been my experiences when speaking with them at my door or in my house.
