by Vanderhoven7 in

let's add to the following list.

jws are mistaken when they believe the bible teaches:.

1. that their leaders somehow represent the faithful and wise servant.

Vanderhoven7

Some great additions here.

Jehovah's Witnesses erroneously believe that the Bible teaches:

14. that Jesus did not die a substitutionary death for mankind.

15. that each person's death is payment for sins committed.

16. that foreigners in Israel were excluded from the law covenant.

17. that only 144,000 people have a heavenly calling.

18. that only 8 men in New York are capable of interpreting the scriptures.

19. that only Jehovah's Witnesses are real Christians

20. that only Jehovah's Witnesses have a scriptural hope of surviving the end of the system.

21. that man by nature, is not a depraved sinner alienatated from God.

22. that "this generation" in Matthew 24:34 does not mean the generation Jesus was manifest in.

23. that Jesus is a created angelic being.

24. that Jesus is not entitled to real worship.

25. that the 1914 generation is still with us.

26. that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force

Great additions guys. Keep em rollin in.

Thanks for your input. I agree, Jehovah is a legitimate form of God's name which means there are others which are equally acceptable. So it really does not matter which legitimate form one chooses. Moreover it simply confirms that we don't really know what the original Hebrew name was in the first place. Perhaps God has hidden His name in both testaments for a reason. And to me it's not the name that matters, but the person for whom the name stands.

The WTS version of the 2 class system is entirely bogus from a scriptural standpoint. There are no Christians who are not born of and indwelt by the Spirit of God, or who are not imputed Christ's righteousness and who are not part of the New Covenant in His blood. Rewards and position are to be determined in the judgment.

Let's add to the following list

JWs are mistaken when they believe the Bible teaches:

1. that their leaders somehow represent the Faithful and Wise Servant

2. that the book of Revelation is about them

3. that Jesus presence (parousia) began in 1914

5. that there are two classes of Christians (anointed and non-anointed)

6. that God's personal name is known

7. that the name Jehovah is in the New Testament

8. that making God's name known involves telling people God's name is Jehovah.

9. that whole blood transfusions are outlawed in scripture.

10. that something scripturally significant happened in 1914, 1918, 1919, 1925 or 1975

11. that the tribulation spoken about in Matthew 24 is future

12. that WTS leaders can interpret the Bible properly

by Simon in

as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

We’re ready to go.

by lastmanstanding in

we meticulously obeyed the divine counsel from the slave.

we prepared our “to go” bag, and we await gods direction from the slave on our exit plan.

we submitted our “destination” away back when, the address of our worldly relatives where we planned to flee to for salvation.

What....why not buy $60 million private jets like some other TV evangelists?

Pedophiles and Sex Offenders Are Fighting Back Against Their Victims!

by BucketShopBill in

use your search engine to locate all the lawsuits pedophiles are filling up the courts with to say the "sex registry is unconstituional", "pedophlia is a choice like homosexuality is" and reclassification of their crimes.

consenting male adults is their choice, how can a five-year old boy give his choice to have sex with a forty-five year old male?

you hear things as time passes by, i had the chance to listen to a legal professional say that if gay marrige was approved pedophiles would be banging at the door to get recognized as a social norm.

by Terry in

jw
friends

why did i have so many jobs?.

i became a velcro salesman, but i couldn't stick with it.and besides - it was a ripoff.. i tried my hand at a career in tennis, but it wasn't my racket and i was too high strung.. i was a masseur for a while, but i seemed to rub people the wrong way.next i got a job at a pool company, but the work was too draining.then?i was a historian, but i couldn't see a future in it.i took a job as an elevator operator—the job had its ups and downs, and i got the shaft.. i became a banker, but i had an affair with boss's wife because she promised to hold my interest right up to the moment of withdrawal.. i just lost my job as a psychic.

i did not see that coming.if a job’s worth doing, it’s too hard.. i quit my job working for nike.

Reminds of the woman who had 5 husbands, each with a different career. She married a banker, then an actor, then then a minister and finally an embalmer. When asked why she married each of her partners she responded

One for the money two for the show, three to get ready and...

How many Christians were there in the 1st century?

by yaddayadda in

just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".

(can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .

in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.

Thanks for reviving this thread.

Will you attend the Memorial 2020 ? - Covid-19 (Coronavirus)

by bats in the belfry in

... or rather listen to the advice on their jw news website:.

show love to others.

while we all know the importance of attending christian meetings and participating in the public ministry, if you are sick, it is best to stay home to avoid infecting others.

Vanderhoven7

No way. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I might support such a farcical misrepresentation of communion.
