Only Jehovah's Witnesses

by Vanderhoven7 in

what do you think of this rant?.

“jehovah's witnesses are the only true religion.

this is demonstrated by a slew of true teachings that only jehovah could have revealed to his servants on earth.

The whole organization speaks for itself.

What makes the WTS different from the other 39,999 christian sects that actively protests the Catholic church?

Isn't the WTS just another protestant church?

They all say they interpret the bible as God intended, but did God or Jesus ever command anyone to write down scriptures and then follow them?

No, Jesus commissioned the apostles to go forth to all nations baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost AND to do ALL that he had told them to do. Not some of what he told them to do

Has the Governing Body ever been right?

by Jules Saturn in

i asked this question to a relative after mentioning several situations where teachings were changed or readjusted (new light) and they have two reasons.

yes, they are correct because look at how the preaching work has grown through the decades and the advancements in witnessing and the second reason was the doctrine of the trinity and how the society opposes that.

i didn’t really have a response, especially for the trinity doctrine.. does the governing body have the rejection of the trinity belief correct?.

They were right when they said "By their fruits you shall know them."

Amen Stillin. The WTS has works [field service, d2d, buying publications and such], but no fruits at all.

Anyone name a WTS fruit?, Bueller, Bueller?

John 1:1—a concept blindly copied from other cultures

by Ireneus in

john 1:1 is the adaptation from other cultures where it is taught that we are all gods.

if expanded, john 1:1 would read like this: “in the beginning there was only god and he created the universe out of himself.

that means you are made out of god and you are a part of god, hence you are god just as much as jesus was.

Interesting topic, generally speaking, about biblical stories copying older pagan beliefs. Many pagan communities were pagan, only to become closer to the divine. They knew [at least,] that there was more to know spiritually than they knew so they would try to gain a knowledge of divinity, but had not received these types of revelations. They could have stumbled upon or had been taught truths during their journeys.

Remember the saying -even a broken clock is right twice a day

Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?

by BlackSpirit in

jesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.

now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

TTWSYF

BlackSpirit - "...Detailed prophecies in the Bible were written centuries ahead of time and came true exactly as predicted..."

yes, thank the Catholic Church for any biblical prophesy. Just regurgitating what Catholics have written is not prophesy, it's repeating what someone else already wrote....a Catholic...just saying ....specifically to Black Spirit

The inference I draw from the Holy Scriptures quoted above is that Jehovah's Witnesses are opposed because they actually have God's and Christ's endorsement and approval.

So who gave the WTS this authority? The authority to interpret the bible and say that it is they that the bible refers to? The WTS took a Catholic book [the bible] and try to claim it as their own. It's not. It's a Catholic book from Catholic men from the Church that Jesus started..

Sorry, but it's true...real truth, not the 'Truth' tm

JW Parents in bad shape with no retirement.

by blownaway in

my wife's parents are in very bad shape.

they are both 2nd gen jws.

my father in law worked for a large american manufacturing company in the 60s and early 70s.

TTWSYF

Whenever I ask my uber elder brother about any elderly brothers and sisters from his cong [or former congs] he ALWAYS tells me that they are not doing well. Health, financial and mental problems always an issue for most rank and file elderly JWs.

My reply is that HE will be among them as he ages and he will realize that HE is going to die. No getting around that one. He will not see the big A, although I have no idea when the big A is coming, I have millions of years of history to look back on. The same history that proves the WTS as a false prophet promoting it's own end.

No fruits, only works [going door to door restoring the name Jehovah] that produce no fruits what so ever.

Sorry, not trying to kill this thread, it's just that damn! WTF?

I was told by an elder many years ago that I should invest in the 401k plan on my first job that had one. I said, "Isn't the end so near that we won't be needing a retirement savings?" He said, "You need to save for retirement just in case the paradise is way off in the distant future ." He's still in but he's too old to have elder duties anymore

Sounds like this old elder guy realized that the booklet "Millions of people living now will never die" had a magazine cover picture of dead people. Everyone on that mag cover died.

Follow Wasanelder's advice

Current Jehovah's Witnesses pay close attention! This will be your fate if you don't accept the reality that the future they promise you is a man made control scam. Get out!

NWT 1984 vs NWT 2013

by Tallon in

i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.

the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.

micah 6:8.

Q- When does the bible stop being the bible?

How to deal with struggling with the doctrines

by Dval in

this is my first post.

i'm still a jw but am inactive.

im struggling with the fact that i agree with some of the doctrines (i,e, the stance on the trinity, there is no hell) but i disagree with a lot of things (i,e, men can't have beards, women have to wear skirts).

Welcome. Lots of emotion will come with your journey. You'll be mad about how you were lied to, but you'll be grateful for the chance to research without the WTS colored glasses.

It was helpful to me to acknowledge that the fruits of the WTS were not there.

Restoring Gods name and going door to door are not fruits, they're works. And it's works that bear no fruit. That fact helped me unplug
