Why go back to the Old Testament?

by Lost in the fog in

why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?

such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.

surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.

TTWSYF

The reason that they go to the OT so much is because they have so little in common with very obvious problems with following the commands of Jesus.

Really? Jesus never said that he was God

He said ir so many times in so many ways that the WTS just distorts.

Quick example - Jesus said to come to him, he didn't say 'come to my teachings' or 'Go to the Father',

He said 'All men MUST come to me to go to the Father'

He also said "I am the way, the truth and the life"

JWs deny the most obvious truth of WHO Jesus is. They haven't a &%$#ing clue

God hates liars

by Lady Lee in

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.

Independent reading of Bible results in better understanding

by Ireneus in

in guided reading, you tend to get the understanding of the guide.

what if guide is blind?

religious leaders who understand ‘one innocent man should be killed to atone the sins of others are in bondage to darkness, hence there is nothing good to be expected from them.

The bible was never intended to be a something to base a religion on.

The bible [a collection of books] was put together and confirmed by catholic bishops hundreds of years after Jesus rose from the dead. [around 380 ad]

The idea of a religion based on the bible and calling it Christianity just doesn't work when you add up those facts.

Who ever said the bible is the word of God? The catholic church, that's who. It's a catholic book and JWs typically hate the catholics just as they have been taught by the WTS

Is Jesus the Alpha + Omega?

by JW Answers in

is jesus the alpha and omega?

the watchtower make a bold brass article on their own website claiming that jesus is not the alpha and omega, yet however, god's word explains in clear detail that he is the alpha and omega... do we therefore trust what the watchtower says?

or do we trust what god says?.

TTWSYF

Because the bible was not confirmed until around 380 ad [or so] it begs the question that JWs do not ask. What was the early church like? the first 300 plus years

Did the early Christians believe that Jesus was God? Did they drink the wine and eat the bread believing that it was the body and blood of Jesus?

I think it was Dr Scott Hahn who said 'For those bold enough to earnestly research the claims of the catholic church, they will have a spiritual shock that would delight them.'

Apostate - what does the word mean to you?

by Tallon in

over a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.

having given it some thought, this is my view;.

the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.

TTWSYF

The word 'apostate' should go hand and hand with 'education'

That's why people leave the WTS. They are apostates BECAUSE they are educated

WTS are the biggest apostates!

Any group that promotes lying to attain it's own distorted goals are apostates to the Almighty who has stated in the scriptures over and over again that HE hates a liar and He hates a lying tongue.

JWs say ' We can lie because people hiding Jews during WW2 lied to protect them and that was righteous'

Of course, no one is holding a gun to anyone's head when asking legit questions about their faith.

So tell me again. How many times has the WTS falsely predicted the end times?

Jesus returned already/ Invisibly?

Really, you're not going to die?

Oh, only JWs have the truth, which had been lost for almost 2000 years and the JWs restored it, because they are the only ones going door to door restoring God's true name?

Oh, and that's their fruits.

Not orphanages, or hospitals, or schools or universities or food banks or battered or homeless shelters?

Why are the WTS apostates? Because they have no fruits. Only works that produce no fruits.

So &ucking sad because it's so &ucking true,

The Truth Will Set You Free

or do we trust what god says?.

TTWSYF

Cofty! A rare moment that we are sharing in agreement?

Praise Jesus Christ I say. Although, we may not agree on that..lol

JW answers - Another JW head scratcher ; "Why do you go door to door with a Catholic book?"

Rev 1-8 The Lord God is the alpha and omega

Rev 22-13 Jesus is the alpha and omega

So, no. I personally do not accept the WTS as reliable translators of the bible because they really have no idea who Jesus is...not a &ucking clue...

The Word of God states unequivocally that God AND Jesus are the alpha and omega.

That said, it is not possible for Man to be God

It is possible that God to become man as HE cannot be limited.

The great 1914 turn around

by Sour Grapes in

i must say there is no other religion in modern times that has lied more to their cult followers than the watchtower company and no more brain dead, gullible cult members than the jdubs.. just three examples.

when russel was in charge 1914 was prophesied to be the end of the system of things with armageddon and the earthly paradise.

that didn't happen and poof now 1914 was not the end, oh no, it was the beginning of the end.. the second example, the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away before the end came, which meant in all jdubs minds that paradise had to be here in the late 1990's.

TTWSYF

1914,of course , that was the year that Jesus inspected all of the religions and declared that the WTS was the only religion giving proper spiritual food.

After arriving to establish his kingdom here on earth,,,invisibly...

And that is why you will not die!

An experience using theocratic warfear put a smile on my face today

by joe134cd in

on my way to church today i was approached by a man asking me if i had a mobile telephone.

i had one on me but i said i didn’t, and i certainly wasn’t going to let the guy use it.

he replied by calling me ‘a lyer’ - and i guess the reality of the situation i was.

TTWSYF

nothing like lying for the Truth tm

Proverbs 6:16-19 King James Version (KJV)

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
