  I agree cha ching, The WTS has a lot of spin on very little substance. When you look closely, you are hard pressed to find real WTS fruits.

  Restoring Gods name? Door to door evangelization? Stake over a cross?

  How are these things fruits?

  Fruits help all people of the world, like schools and universities. Hospitals and old age homes, shelters and food banks. Things that help all people always gives glory to God because Christians believe that we are all made in Gods image,

  What has the WTS given to all people because we are made in Gods image?

  Funny event at the Memorial celebration

  by DaPriest in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for this award, i would like to nominate something that happened in berlin south english, again.we all have seen people that try to disrupt the memorial celebration, and this is not amusing at all.

  its quite sad.

  what is amusing is when the disruption occurs from within.an incident occurred once, when a brother was passing the bread around.

  I agree Zeb. Sabotaging a religious service is in poor taste no matter what the faith...

  That said, For those of us who believe in the teachings of Jesus and the bible as the inspired word of God, the JW memorial is tough to take.

  When reading of the biblical verses stating that Jesus said to "do this in memory of me" and the whole of the JW memorial is taught/instructed to deny yourself [and others] of Jesus. That always seemed odd to me.

  God hates liars

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  quotes are from the 2005 wt cd red text is mine

  the wts claims to be the sole source of god's truth on earth today.

  truth is so important to them that they even use the term "truth" as a name for their teachings.

  Blast from the past.

  I always hated the term that my uber elder brother told me many years ago.......

  I still cringe when I remember him saying

  "We call it 'lying for the truth'".

  The whole concept of contradiction was lost in translation as they say.

  Now a days it's called "Theocratic Warfare" but isn't that still lying for the Truth?

  Jehovah God and Jesus Christ the difference in the "Old Testament " and the "New Testament"

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you compare all the communications jehovah god had with humans whether it was by angels ,dreams ,or prophets as well as his intervention in human affairs when it suited him and their are many examples in the old testament to look at for about 4000 years .

  the same cannot be said for jesus christ as king of kings to sit on the throne to rule over the earth for a thousand years.

  in one sense he was king of christians 2000 years ago in another sense according to jw`s he was enthroned in 1914-18 for the next 1000 years.. whether you believe he was king over christians on his ascencion to heaven or his enthronement in 1914-18 for 2000 + years we have not had any communication from either god jehovah or christ jesus in any form one way or another.for the past 2000 years.. for the first 4000 years you couldnt shut jehovah up ,and the next 2000 years you dont here a beep out of jehovah or christ jesus.. for jw apologists when god gave a ruling/decree in the old testament how many times did he adjust /redefine/change what he said using the excuse "the light gets brighter and brighter" ?

  Old testament -old covenant

  New testament- new, better covenant

  just saying what the NWT states, so that's a difference

  31 “Look! The days are coming,” declares Jehovah, “when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant.+ 32 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their forefathers on the day I took hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,+ ‘my covenant that they broke,+although I was their true master,’* declares Jehovah.”33 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Jehovah. “I will put my law within them,+ and in their heart I will write it.+ And I will become their God, and they will become my people.”+34 “And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Jehovah!’+ for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them,”+ declares Jehovah. “For I will forgive their error, and I will no longer remember their sin.”+

  
  

  3 For you are shown to be a letter of Christ written by us as ministers,+ inscribed not with ink but with the spirit of a living God, not on stone tablets+but on fleshly tablets, on hearts.+4 We have this sort of confidence toward God through the Christ. 5 Not that we of ourselves are adequately qualified to consider that anything comes from us, but our being adequately qualified comes from God,+ 6 who has indeed adequately qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant,+ not of a written code,+ but of spirit; for the written code condemns to death,+but the spirit makes alive.+

  
  

  
  6 But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry* because he is also the mediator+ of a correspondingly better covenant,+ which has been legally established on better promises.+7 If that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second.+ 8 For he does find fault with the people when he says: “‘Look! The days are coming,’ says Jehovah,* ‘when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant. 9 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their forefathers on the day I took hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,+ because they did not remain in my covenant, so I stopped caring for them,’ says Jehovah.*10 “‘For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,’ says Jehovah.* ‘I will put my laws in their mind, and in their hearts I will write them.+ And I will become their God, and they will become my people.+

  Millions now living will never die

  by stillin in

  but pretty much all of them are now dead.

  and so are billions of others.

  so, god doesn't desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance?

  Ask yourself the following question... "What is more likely - that the laws of nature have been suspended OR that an unmarried Jewish girl told a fib?"

  So, is the question asked that Jesus's mother started Christianity or she started the false teachings of 'Millions living will never die.'?
