True believers never save their money

by stillin in

it's an article of faith.

either god is going to save them or he is not.

since one local elder proudly told me that he never saved a nickel until just before his retirement, i've given this subject some thought.. savers are worldly..

Just what I was thinking Calebs Airplane. And then to add 1 john 2;17 at the end to try to add some legitimate weight to the awful suggestion of selling everything that you have.

Notice that the WTS didn't say to give it to the poor.

What fruits do the WTS produce?

just asking

What does your baptism mean to you now?

by GiftsinMen in

i was baptised on 1st sept 1990, 25years ago today.

it is still a date with deep meaning for me.

i never dedicated my life to serving any man or any organisation, this was my choice - as a grown adult - to serve my god through jesus christ.

GIftsinmen, I am sorry that you had to endure the lies of the WTS. Some people have found comfort in reading the bible without the distortions, half truths/half lies and out right manipulation that the WTS inserts in the true word of God.

You;ll probably find that you have to overcome thoughts and ideas that have been crammed down your throat for years. With time and research, you'll find that you'll be able to move on and find a balance of life and prayer.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone else who now feels "Where could I go?"

NWT is soooo inaccurate....

by iwasblind in

hi this is for the lurkers.. please start reading from another translation and use tools like www.biblehub.com to verify the differences you find.. biblehub has an interlinear and a strongs concordance and heaps of dictionaries and commentaries.. you don't have to be a translator but you can clearly see how the watchtower bible and tract society has changed the bible to devalue jesus, to support their idea of a paradise earth hope for christians and many other false doctrines.. i could never understand why the jw's where attacked when they chose to translate the bible - now i know.. seriously people, there are a lot smarter people than me on this forum and heaps of research.

.

don't be afraid of the truth!.

TTWSYF

Aside from any examples that prove the erroneous translation of the NWT, most rank and file JWs still feel theirs is the best, most accurate translation possible.

I don't want the Watchtower's version of paradise.

by StarTrekAngel in

i am writing this in the hopes that it may help someone in a debate.

i personally have not had a chance to discuss it with anyone but that is true for most other topics.

i think is a good one to analyze.

How did the children get in? They seem too young to have been JW baptized.

JW to SDA anyone do it ?

by Introvert 2 in

a couple friends pointed me to some info on the sabbath and i just plain like it, being the workaholic i am it's a lifesaver for me and gives me the motivation to be more balanced about my business and work schedule.

so from there i looked into the adventists and found a hall near my place and went last week.

i honestly enjoyed myself and the meeting time is not disruptive and the people were great and pretty laid back.

TTWSYF

It is my understanding that the JW history is based loosely on the SDA faith. Kinda an offshoot after the Judge heard an SDA minister (Wendell Jones I believe} and liked what he heard.

As far as there not being a real truth, I would disagree. Jesus did start a church some 2000 years ago or so.

Why don't they just lie about the numbers?

by Sour Grapes in

jw
friends

why doesn't the wtbts just lie and increase the published amount of people who attend the memorial?

who would know the difference?

the same with the amount munching on the crackers and sipping the wine.

TTWSYF

'lying for the TRUTH'

kinda says all that you need to know.

the rumor again surfaces....

by sowhatnow in

someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?

i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.

whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].

TTWSYF

There should be a different translation for English.

There are differences that are subtle but still there.

"I wanna smoke a fag" or "I'm pissed"

will mean totally different things to an American as opposed to a Brit

The TRUTH is that the NWT is the most appropriate VERSION for the WTS.

It is not the most accurate translation for a Christian though

Cecil the Lion deserved what he got...That's right. I said it.

by cappytan in

lions are notorious murderers of beautiful zebras, antelope and other graceful exotic animals.

cecil probably contributed to the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of animals.

what happened to him was justice.. you reap what you sow.

TTWSYF

''did he hate that lion?''
