most of us know that jw despise the catholic church the most among many religions for many years.
my question is do catholic church despise jw as much as the witnesses despise the catholic faith?.
Steel, I agree.
When I read the Watchtower and Awake mags I am amazed at the amount of print used to dump on other faiths. Not only that, but how little print they put in explaining their own faith. Not a lot of reasoning to put theirs into prospective.
That always led me to speculate the reason is because they have such little reasons for their beliefs, but they put it out to their cong full force.
My brother and his family think that they will not die....weird
the watchtower library is a great tool to learn more about the watchtower itself.
for example, answering the question "does the word "organization" ever appear in the bible"?
is easy to answer using it.
How about this one about the father and the other one about Jesus
IS 44; 6 This is what Jehovah says,
The King of Israel+ and his Repurchaser,+ Jehovah of armies:‘I am the first and I am the last.+There is no God but me.+
And Rev 1;1717 When I saw him, I fell as dead at his feet.
And he laid his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First+ and the Last,+ 18 and the living one,+ and I became dead,+ but look! I am living forever and ever,+ and I have the keys of death and of the Grave.*+The Truth Will Set You Free

I have heard a comment on these verses about Jesus from elders that Jesus was a mighty god, but not Almighty God
NWT IS 9; 6 For a child has been born to us,+
A son has been given to us;And the rulership* will rest on his shoulder.+His name will be called Wonderful Counselor,+ Mighty God,+ Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Sorry to hear that ADD
One's religious upbringing does not make one a nice person.
Only the examples that people have growing up help determine such things.
If you would say that they were pagans and not Christians, they may hold you accountable....
I doubt that was your play though lol

The catholic church thinks all faiths that are not catholic are missing the total picture .
Jws, [to the catholic church], like many other forms of christianity are not 100%, they take only portions of the bible or the deposit of faith [as the catholics call it] to have a religion.
JWs on the other hand feel every other faith is dead.

i know there have been many many posts on here over the years on the deity of jesus.. i am submitting this one because i am feeling a little confused.. the thing is, i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer and i know this.
so when i am going through my bible reading (to all you haters, yes i still do it) i see so many scriptures that just fly in the face of everything the jws teach about jesus.. i begin to wonder if indeed i am diseased in the mind ,as they will try to paint me, because it seems so plain to me.. i never even gave it a though growing up as to if jesus and god were equal.
i just didn't.. now when i read scriptures like philippians 9.... 9 for this very reason, god exalted him to a superior position+ and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,+ 10 so that in the name of jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground+— 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that jesus christ is lord+ to the glory of god the father.. .
With overwhelming biblical evidence contradicting the WTS position in every book of the New Testament, how else could NOT seeing the real truth be explained other than conditioning against what the bible actually says?
The WTS goes to extreme measures to 'teach' what the bible really says, without actually letting one learn what the bible actually teaches.......weird.
I have found that every single scriptural example that the WTS provides to prove their position is null and voided within the very chapter of their proof verse.
It has been explained over and over again, many times
cognitive dissonance
TTWSYF
reading another thread made me realise that there are numerous expressions used as everyday witness terminology, that is not in the bible.... such as:.
governing body.
paradise earth.
lying for the truth
aka- theocratic warfare

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?
