Sorry, I am not up on all of the JW publications, but I'm pretty sure that the 3 wise men came to honor the newly born Jewish king that got Herod all bent out of shape. So, a king from birth at least?

by The Fall Guy init-2 pp.
61-62 jesus christ - "they [1st century christians] recognized him as their lord........because of his kingly position and authority.
it was in the full regal as well as priestly authority represented by jesus’ name that his followers preached.....to the “name” of this divinely commissioned king, the lord jesus christ.

The FACTS are in print! HOW can the society think they can change history?
It's called theocratic warfare- AKA -Lying for the 'Truth'
WTS governing body members are masters of revisionist history

Is the org. Like Jehovah or Jesus?
by tor1500 inwas thinking.
this is jehovah's org.
so now let's take a look at jehovah's character, he gets angry yet he forgives sometimes a lot sometimes not so much but got to admit, he always sent a warning.

I've heard reports of brothers and sisters selling their homes to devote full time to the correct and rightous teachings of the Watchtower and Tract Society. Certainly, this is a great way to spend the short remaining time here before Jehovah ends this evil system of things......
Oh, wait, wrong rumor

Is there any evidence that the WTS stated the 20th century would be the last?
by TTWSYF ini know that other early dates are well documented leading up to 1975. it did seemed that the wts learned to stop setting dates, but i seem to recall talk about the 20th century will certainly be the last according to god's perfect timing.
i can't recall specifically where i heard such blatant rhetoric though.. anyone?
bueller?

Nice letter Roger,
If it were sent to my uber elder JW brother, he would have stopped reading by the 2nd sentence.
Such is the reality of cultish teachings.
All is allowed [and considered fair] when you're in a cult that teaches Theocratic Warfare

The Father of the OT and NT is God. God is so awesome of a being that when he speaks, his words are alive. Like a hand attached to a body, the hand is part of the body. The Father's words are like a hand [,part of his body] and exerting all of the authority of the Father. So if Jesus is the Word of God, and God is so awesome that his words are alive, then the word of God has ALL of the authority of God.
That's how I see it without getting too technical and philosophical.

Truth and Honesty? Why is it only a one-way street??
by stuckinarut2 inthe society, "gods channel" teach and expect truth and honesty from all witnesses.
scripures are often quoted to promote such.. but, why is it only a one way street?
why is the society not truthful and honest with witnesses?

My uber elder brother still regrets the day he uttered those very telling words to me while trying to indoctrinate me into the lying cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.
He said' We call it "lying for the Truth" ' The implications and weight of those words hung heavy to all but him. Now it is called 'theocratic warfare' Disgraceful is the nicest thing you could say about such a thing.

"We dont mourn the dead"
by HereIgo ini remember a brother making the above statement in regards to an elderly sister who had passed.
he stated we don't mourn or even visit grave sites because we have a hope that jah will resurrect the dead.
it seemed really creepy at the time, hell, even jesus wept when lazarus died.

hell, even Jesus wept when Lazarus died.
I always wondered about that, because I think Jesus knew that he would resurrect Lazarus. Interesting that he still mourned him.
It is normal to mourn those that we love because we know that we will not see them in our everyday life anymore

The number of translations boast
by Just stopping by injust stopping by to share this... .
after seeing a watchtower representative paste the same thing over and over, about jw.org being available in 850 languages.... we all know how the watchtower loves to boast about the number of languages it translates into.
what are the facts?

It is funny that they will boost about certain things like this and upon closer inspection, the thing they were boosting about ends up being a lie[ability]
IE; Ask active JWs about fruits and hear about restoring Gods true name and love in their cong.
Look closely and see that there is nothing that they give the world.
Restoring God's name has done what in particular? Anything? Bueller, Bueller?
