  Jesus Saves From What? March 2015 Watchtower Article

  by Perry in

  2. bible

  i just skimmed the titled article on jw.org and once again the watchtower is misdirecting:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150301/jesus-death-and-resurrection/ .

  they try and make the old case that jesus saves us from being destroyed at armageddon.

  I took Ihunt's suggestion and listened in around the 40 minute mark, regarding the 144,000 and Jesus as mediator, it was helpful and to reaffirm his comments he gave a small demonstration of discussing the points with a JW.

  Oh Damn...I have been sprung!

  i knew it could happen one day...yet i was so careful..... sitting at the sound cabinet, i had our awesome forum open on my tablet, and didn't see the microphone brother looking over at me...... he wandered over and asked me "whats that site?".

  i quickly responded "oh, i googled to get to our jw.org site, and this must have popped up" while quickly closing it.... he didn't look too fussed, but my heart was beating..... he is pretty chilled out and certainly not an "uber-dub"...but this was a wake up call to be more careful...i am fading fast, but don't want anymore attention from the nazi-elders while doing so!.

  be careful all!

  I doubt he would even consider it was an 'apostate' site. It sounds like he didn't think you were on the JW org site or had it open to any of the publications. If anything he may be a bit concerned that you are not concentrating on the meeting and at worst your current duties may be changed.

  LISTEN obey and be blessed.

  JW.Org masturbation video - a sign language translators thoughts

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower 'masturbation' video has caused quit a fuss and imo rightly so.

  let me relate an experience that took place almost 40 years ago, in the 1970's.. i was translating for several families who attended our hall from outside the territory.

  the reason they came to our congregation is that i was the only one in the area willing to exert myself to learn the american sign language.

  I wonder how often the governing body members love to watch it. They have done nothing about removing them amidst all of the contrivesy.

  It is not very likely that there would be a disagreement between the writing department and the service department over JW practices. If anything it would be between the legal department and the GB (and their helpers)

  by yogosans14 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.

  btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.

  i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

  Neither religion is right, that is evident by the changes they need to continually make and by the damage that their direct damage that their religion causes.

  Is one more right than another? Who knows but why would God judge us because we chose one religion over another based on this or that teaching being right or wrong?

  He knows what's in our hearts and how knows our sincerity and desire to draw close to him, we don't need a religion to do that but a little encouragement from others always helps.

  One thing that is not right with the JW religion is that in order to be a JW (as opposed to one of Christ's followers) is that you have accept all of their teachings regardless of how wrong they are. You are not free to go with your own conscience and understanding on bible beliefs.

  They really should get themselves a bit more educated. They forget that Candice is à real person and the accusations they are making are slanderous which is illegal. The mods should be removing those comments at the very least.
