  What would you change?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’m agnostic so maybe the universe started by chance or by design.. if it was by design (hypothetically) and the bible is the designers word, and jws seem to be the closest to it, then what would be the largest things you would change?.

  here are a few ideas.

  -do away with the governing body thinking they are gods only channel.

  Which man-made man-run organization is closer to the truth of scripture than the WT organization?

  I would say, just about every Evangelical Christian organization, whether they believe in the Trinity and hell and defensive warfare or not.

  The WT organization may have the truth on hell and the soul but so what if they are preaching another gospel and another Jesus; a gospel that does not save and a Jesus that is unrelatable.

  That's even ignoring their history of promotion of trusting in men for eventual and unbiblical salvation, false prophetic speculation, CSA cover-ups, child protection failure, despicable shunning practices etc.

  sinning against the Holy Spirit question

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let's assume that the bible is god's word and the men who wrote it were borne along ( inspired ) by holy spirit.

  if one sets out to deliberately malign the bible, would that be considered a sin against the holy spirit?.

  Yes...it's from the penitents Psalm

  Psalm 51:

  10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

  11 Cast me not away from thy presence O Lord; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

  12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

  Theocratic Warfare

  most of us know what theocratic warfare means but maybe very few people reading this forum might never heard of theocratic warfare.

  can you give them some examples of theocratic warfare?

  Anyone who comes to Jesus for forgiveness has not sinned against the Holy Spirit ... whether he feels he may have or not.

  Here is a Psalm for those afraid that they may have sinned beyond the grace of Christ.

  I hope Tony sees what the organization is doing and write a best seller that brings the WT charade down for good. Imagine all the reunited families. It will be like paradise on earth bringing along with it true repentance and forgiveness finally sweeping through JW land.

  My defense speech before the judicial committee

  dear brothers!.

  we have gathered here because, according to your claims, i have apostatized, and as elders, it is your duty to maintain the purity of the flock.

  it seems now that someone has contaminated it, apparently.

  @Disfellowshipped Brother

  I was hoping that you would stick around, share your thoughts and keep us posted as to how you are doing. Can you give us an update?

  Three Amish bishops who told woman to rescind protective order against husband, guilty of intimidation.

  doubtful a judicial committee would order a sister to rescind a protective order, but might tell her she wouldn't qualify for the privilege of being a auxiliary pioneer while she had it.. .

  @EP

  Thank you for sharing your ordeal.which clearly shows:

  Love intimidates Pharisees

  Truth intimidates Pharisees

  Justice intimidates Pharisees

  Exposure intimidates Pharisees

  That is why you are intimidating.

  You are blessed. I hope your children support you and are no longer under the Watchtower spell.

  'church elders are told to report any allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities immediately'

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  'the spokesperson also said that church elders are told to report any allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities immediately, even if there is only one complainant.'.

  https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/rebekah-vardy-sexually-abused-child-jehovahs-witnesses/.

  is this true?

  It is interesting that JWs who stray a bit in their marriages might not make it to the new system....whereas nonJWs who die before the GT get an automatic pass into paradise no matter how much they strayed.

  Lesson: never talk to Jehovah's Witnesses.

  ASL tends to be quite graphic at times. Finger spelling comes in handy in mixed (deaf and hearing) audiences as a result.
