if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

Do dozens of false prophecies and doctrinal flip-flops qualify as disproving the claim?

If not, what would?

Two Translators Who Restored God’s Name to the NT

by Wonderment in

one of the first prayers that many people learn is the lord’s prayer, which jesus taught his followers.

this prayer is found in what is commonly called the new testament.

the prayer begins: “our father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified [or hallowed].” (matthew 6:9) yet, god’s name, rendered in english as “jehovah” or sometimes “yahweh,” is rarely found in english translations of the new testament.

Interesting that Jesus said to pray, "Our Father..." rather than "Jehovah..."

i think it's been a while since this was asked.

tell us your hobbies, interests, pastimes, whatever you find enjoyable as a diversion from work and school.

i am lucky enough to live in a small cabin on a lake, i enjoy rowing my old boat and fishing, i play with car projects, and we travel as much as we can.

Jhine,

Do you watch the Cracking the Cryptic Sudoku videos?

If you haven't heard of them, google it and check it out.

God Has Only One Visible Organization on Earth!

by Vanderhoven7 in

why is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?

why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?

what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?

Punkofnice,

I have cited that quote to many JWs.

I've never gotten a response.

Deer in the headlights.

Does not compute...

Ding

In the mind of many (most?) JWs, the organization is equated with Jehovah and/or Jesus.

It's visible. They are not.

To obey/be loyal to/disobey/reject the organization is to obey/be loyal to/disobey/reject Jehovah and Jesus.

"Some other valid reason..."

How about bringing the perpetrator to justice?
