- CHRISTIAN ...Sound about right
SW
at isaiah 43:12, jehovah said to his fleshly nation of israel, "you are my witnesses.
" after christ's death, the literal jewish nation was cast off as god's chosen people, (matt.
21:43) and jehovah now allowed gentiles to join those jews who accepted christ as the messiah, to become part of the 'israel of god'.
SW
jehovah's witness.
no one must ever compromise any of the essential, life-saving truths from god, but to truly be part of the "one body" required of christians, everyone must compromise some personal beliefs, preferences, interpretations, etc.. the jewish christians in rome were commanded to give up the mosaic law.
this was a task that was most difficult for them.
Criticize THEM or what they say without bible backing? Where's scriptural proof that Id's them as Jah's Anointed!

when i left the cult some years ago the response from the local jw's was venomous.
things have been changing lately, a number of elders have actually taken the time to engage me in conversation.
these tend to be those that were told they would never go to school let alone grow old.
Unfortunately some that I talk with...still feel that even though there are issues...this is still a good way to live your life by... :( ArMaG is coming just don't know when.
So the POPE GB can be wrong at most every level but they are still willing to put their lives in their hands. One Jw I talked with about this...I get the impression...uses this as a tool - the religion - to control his children.

sometimes i think about stuff i read in watchtower literature and wonder if it would be received differently if it was just like, one guy with a bible, ranting as he paced back and forth amongst the jws.
"it's abundantly clear that jesus selected me to be his channel of communication with mankind.
don't you see the proof?
This is what they are saying but no one see it...If they were to be so pionted they would lose--- well hopefully everyone.

At least this person is doing something! Even if one person is helped to see TTATT then- good...Thank you for putting up this site.
"When you do nothing...nothing happens" If the site helps a JW remain one... and they are happy... then so-be-it.

"...witnesses hear and read a great deal about the positives of being a witness at their meetings and literature.
the leadership makes sure they dont forget how fortunate they are to have the truth that no other religion has.
since i have been guaranteed the most important of the freedoms jws fought so hard for, freedom of expression, ill acquaint you with the harmful side of this organization and why i say they are now the oppressors..." http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/advocacy/dangerous-to-associate-with-jehovahs-witnesses.html .
It would appear that 'you' (JWs) believe what they do today based on what brought them into the religion. So many that I talk to do not know what the current belief are. They are still hoping the end will come in their lifetime and bring about the promised relief, with little thought as to what is said is going to happen to the majority of humans alive today.

For me it is the summary of all...You can see from what you (THEY) present as "truth" is not so...Because 'truth' never changes but JW so called "truths" do. SO their constant changing of teachings indicate they are not being directed by "a GOD".
