  Proof of Jesus' Deity using the NWT - One Simple Scripture

  by GOrwell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  now, this topic is not about providing proof of the trinity using the nwt, but is instead about the deity of jesus.

  yes, they are similar, but different, topics.. specifically, we can use the nwt to show the deity of jesus and how the people/authors of his day viewed who he was.

  this bible quotation won't even come from the fallback jesus-is-god book of john, but instead comes from the book of luke.

  Keeping JW's as Friends - Healthy? - New Awake Article

  by GOrwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  kidding about that awake article title - i know it sounds like the title of an awake article, please forgive me :).

  but seriously, do you think it's healthy to maintain friendships with people who are jehovah's witnesses?

  when is it time to "move on," even if they don't seem to want to?.

  folks,.

  reading the john/jack/fred barr "info" on page 6, can anyone tell me the difference between this blantant human honoring eulogy and what would be presented at an actual funeral for any tom, dick or harry?

  i can't tell the difference.

  Grasping "new" points when reading the Bible?

  by GOrwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm always surprised when reading the bible of things that i've missed or never saw in that manner before.

  how often does this happen to you?.

  for instance, i've probably read the book of john about 8-10 times.

  Acts 10:19, 20 - Destroying the Holy Spirit personification argument

  by GOrwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this set of scriptures pretty much demolishes "the holy spirit is only god's active force and is only personified throughout the bible" argument (as if the rest book of acts doesn't already).

  these verses pretty much put the nail in the coffin of that argument :.

  acts 10:19,20 - nwt.

  Stan Milo's Watchtower Collectors Guide?

  by GOrwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  folks,.

  i am trying to track down information on a watchtower collectors guide for older watchtower memorabilia.

  a number of ebay antique watchtower auctions reference a "stan milo 2003 watchtower collectors guide" that rates how "rare" a certain collectible is and alongside an estimated value.. if anyone here collects older memorabilia, have you any information on this guide?

  Zechariah 8:11,12 - Jehovah announces the 70-years ended?

  by GOrwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi folks,.

  i've been reading into the zechariah scriptures (zech 1:7, zech 1:12, 7:1-5 etc) about when the 70-year desolation period ended, but i couldn't seem to find much about zechariah 8:11, 12. chapter 8 continues where chapter 7 left off (chapter 8 mentions that jehovah "continued" to speak), so the time frame is the same as in the beginning of chapter 7 (4th year of darius, around november 518).

  for some reason, this scripture clicked :.

  hi folks,.

  a bit of a long-time lurker and a recently registered account, i thought i'd post my first topic.

  i'm a successful fader, and have recently begun reading the new testament, using a few different translations (nwt included, for comparisons sake).
