  Mark 7:6-9 about Tradition

  by Secreetly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i asked my jw relatives about why they are the chosen one, she said one of the reasons can be found in mark 7:6-9. jw’s stand firm in rejecting all man made traditions including christmas, halloweenc and birthdays whereas no other religion does so.

  .

  what are your opinions about this?

  Because the bible is a Catholic book, they would be the ones to tell you what it means. They put it together, they protected it through the centuries, they use it in their liturgy, it's their book. Why would anyone care what a JW thinks about the bible? They have no authority in it at all. None

  The WTS is just another 19th century american invention re-branding what was already established.

  That's why there's so much new light. Another group of JWs come into power and they interpret the scriptures according to their own ideas instead of what Jesus commanded

  What your first realization of hypocrisy in this Religion?

  by days of future passed in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.

  my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?

  at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.

  Are there any JW songs that you HATE?

  you're probably thinking 'all of them', and it's true that the songbook is riddled with wrong stuff .

  but are there any songs in particular that irk your moral sensibilities?.

  for me it would be song #26, "you did it for me".

  Its been 2000 years now since Jesus Christianity was Established and now today we have 40000 + Christian sects ?

  emperor constantine might have got the message 17 centuries ago but surely god must by now realize that the mission has failed .?.

  surely he should as he has on past experience in the old testament now approach a world leader of either the usa ,england ,russia ,china ,or the united nations or even israel and make his judgement`s known .?.

  why has he been so quiet all of these years ?

  To say that Jesus and the Apostles started the Jesus Myth Industry is like saying Robin Hood and his Merry Men started the myths about him.

  No offense Phizzy, but history does not agree with that.

  I dunno. 40k Christian sects

  1 started by Jesus and his apostles that gave the world the idea of loving your neighbor [even if they're your enemy] or

  39,999 started by a man or a woman. That try their best to copy the church started by Jesus

  I have always found it interesting that people have recounted conversations or circumstances in great detail while they were dead somewhere else. Also that the vast majority of these NDE are Christian in nature

  If you please Ratt,

  What is your source of information? Not to sound snotty, but we are all only as smart as our sources of information. If your only source is the WTS, then you are quite possibly misinformed

  There is only one God and his name is Jehovah.
  

  And no one is claiming that Jesus raised himself from the dead... because he was dead. Thus someone else would need to raise him. If he could raise himself he would not be dead.

  The JW funeral sales pitch . . .

  by BereanThinker7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so recently i attended a jw funeral.

  i've been awake and faded for a bit now and so i already have realized the strangeness that is a jw funeral/memorial talk because its basically just a sales pitch to those attending that are non jws using a twist on the christian resurrection hope and barely speaks about the departed.

  here's the thing that i noticed the that got me wondering, the pitch, at least at this talk, is given under the guise that it is what the fallen person wanted to be spoken at the funeral and as such its all about the "secondary" "great crowds" class hope.. so my question is had anybody ever attended the funeral talk for someone who claimed to be in the 144,000???.

  Did they actually say the deceased wanted them to say that kind of stuff at the funeral, or did they just want you to make that assumption? Either way it's in horrible taste. A Baptist did that at my great grandmother's funeral and it pissed me off.

  
  

  I've attended more than one JW wedding and funeral. Each time I attend, I get pissed too.

  Who is The Lord?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses believe that only the father is lord god, however by searching the scriptures we can identify that there are more than one person in the godhead, and the lord jesus as well as the holy spirit are lord.. for those who are interested in learning, feel free to watch this new video..

  Cofty says

  My challenge remains. Please describe the trinity simply in your own words, without self-contradiction and without resorting to esoteric theological terms.

  My reply was

  God, the Father is an awesome being. Too awesome for comprehension. He [although, not a male or female, but is a fatherly person] is so awesome that when he speaks, his word/s are alive. He is God and he spoke us into existence. His words are alive. His word is Jesus and he is not only the word of God in law, he is also the spirit of God's law. That's how awesome that God the Father is. Because Jesus is God's word [in spirit], Jesus has all of the authority of God the Father. He is like the hand of God. Now because God loves his word, which is alive. He loves his word with so much love that his LOVE is alive. That;s how awesome God is, that not only is his word alive, but his love is alive also. To me, his love is the Holy spirit. Not an active force, but true to the scriptures, showing all the attributes of a coherent being.

  Was his challenge answered? I think 'yes'

  What say you?
