  2. bible

  i am sure this has been discussed many times so a link to another thread would be great or if someone has the patience to explain again please?

  i have read the july 15 2013 wt many times but i simply don't understand the significance of 1919 from the bible.

  So many significant dates that the watchtower has promoted in the past. Why pick 1919?

  why not 1873, 1911, 1914, 1925, 1932, 1975 or any of the others?

  just wondering

  In depth research reveals....

  by Deltawave in

  something i have noticed over the years is how much harder it is to research the history of the watchtower society from its own literature.

  people have thrown away old publications in place of the watchtower library.

  i beleive soon the watchtower library disk will be discontinued in place of the online library.

  Christianity: The most deceptive religion

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.

  but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.

  interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????

  Jesus said that his church would last for all ages. 2000 years later and %20 of the planet still believes that a man, claiming to be God, is the truth, the way, the life.

  go figure out why if you can

  What is "The Truth"?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to jw's if you think about it, this is what "the truth" is..... .

  "the truth" is that you must be in 'the truth' and spend every waking moment you have getting others in 'the truth'.

  anything the governing body says to do is 'the truth'.

  Some people think the truth is subjective. You know, that there are many truths to many people.

  JWs say that they have the truth or that the WTS is the truth....

  But Jesus said that he IS the TRUTH , the Way, the Life

  Hold me Thrill me said "I will, though, continue giving money to those in the congregation who are in need. To widows who are in financial difficulty, to brothers and sisters who have lost their job or who can only find part time work."

  Welcome to Christianity!

  Suggestions for Governing Body 2.0

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i realize many people on here are very angry at the watchtower society and/or governing body for various reasons, many of which are likely justified, at least to some extent.

  i also can totally understand the cynicism and pessimism i see from certain ones regarding the leaders of the society.. i think one thing that's often forgotten or overlooked, however, is the fact that members of the governing body who've been "in the truth" for 30, 40, 50, 60 years, probably truly believe in this organization.

  in my opinion, it's more likely that they believe what they teach instead of being liars who are intentionally deceiving everyone.

  IMHO the org lies on purpose.

  Too many lies to be chalked up to ignorance.

  LIE LIES LYING and then have to gall to say 'The Truth'

  F&%#ing liars!

  The Divine Name in the NT: Some Reflections

  by Let go of fear in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been fascinated with this topic for some time now, almost to the point of obsession.

  after researching the issue for several years, i have come to a conclusion/theory that i would love to receive some feedback on.

  this theory of mine is one that will be somewhat unsettling to both those who believe the divine name was used in the original nt scripts as well as those who believe it wasn't.

  Check out this link: Misleading Revisions in the NWT by Andy Bjorklund

  http://caic.org.au/jws/theology/misleadi.htm

  i have studied all of these NT scriptures using the Kingdom Interlinear. It's obvious the witnesses had a very defined agenda when they 'translated' for their Bible.

  HA HA HA... Ya think?!?

  Someone once posted that it [the NWT] should NEVER be called a translation, because it is only a version. Not a translation. SO many examples to give, please let me give just this HEBREWS 1 :8
