How does the Jw organization explain Matthew 16:18. And I say to you that you are Peter: and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. No where does Christ use the word kingdom Hall. What is orgin of using kingdom hall verses church.

31JW's don't go church... they go to the Kingdom hall
by loosie indo you remember correcting everyone who would ask you where you go to church.
the jw reply was usually something like....we don't go to a church we go a kingdom hall.
jw's just have to be different you know.. yesterday i went to my citys museum.

Jesus warned us about the sheep in wolves clothing. People seemed to be turned on to smooth talkers rather than the truth of God. Eddie Long wont be the last faker.

I realized a positive outcome from my JW upbrining!
by scarredforlife ini have been on this board for over 2 years.
one thing that i have read over and over is to find something positive in my upbrining as a jw and i have been unable to do this.
all i have seen is negative.

In my religious upbringing we were taught not to worship man, nor any denominations but to worship God only. And make sure the minister followed the bible rather than their own doctrine. We have seen what can happen when people follow leaders rather than God. Remember, Jim Jones.

What silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?
by 3Mozzies inso what silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?.
back in my early 20's, i had a pair of comfy old jeans that started to tear in about 3 places on the leg.
it was the fashion at the time so not only did they feel great to wear, they also looked 'in', not that i cared for that, but it was a bonus .

The scriptures do tell us to dress modestly, but alot of this information is unreal! In many churches some older folks come wearing clean overalls. This is all they have. God looks at the inside of a person not the outside.

no one comes to the father except through me.. according to this scripture the guy's sharpy message was correct.. do you believe this message?.

-Sab, According to scripture no one is in hell right now. First, all mankind must be judged this will take place at the end of time. No one knows whether Ghandi accepted Christ or not. Only God himself knows all humankind and their hearts at death.

-Sab, Sorry. One of the many doctrines that our faith disagrees with the JWs was hell. Our hell is not ghenna, but a real place of torment. Rev20:14-15.

-Sab The shortened version of the scripture, I am the way, the truth,and none comes to the father except by me(Jesus). Every christian stands on this verse. The bible is our foundation.
