  They don't even know their own doctrines...

  by Leto in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had an interesting exchange on facebook with some random jw's on the april auxillary piosneering page.

  seems they don't realize that the watchtower has set itself up as the mediator between the great crowd and jesus.

  i post multiple watchtowers that outright say that "jesus is not mediator towards all mankind, but only 'spiritual israel', or the 144,000...".

  Finished Mystery (1917)... The book that Jesus approved...

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).

  i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

  but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.

  "Oh but there is the resurrection!"

  by Leto in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just thought i'd share what came out of the mouth of a local elder a few months ago.. it all started when they ignored our "no tresspassing" sign, and drove up our rural driveway as part of their cult recruiting ritual, or the "bothering work" as my dad calls it.

  i told him that the witlesses fly the flag of "we only believe in the bible", but that simply put, the watchtower blatantly ignores all sorts of scripture.

  he looked at me funny, and i used the example of the great crowd.

  Today's Lesson (Too funny)

  by iamwhoiam in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  wt 12/15 2010 koolaid edition p. 11 paragragh 17.

  "rather than feel frustrated or discouraged because jehovah's day seems to be delayed, we should be glad that there is still time for us to be zealous for true worship.".

  since the future and the past do not exist except as concepts in the now, than how can knowing what is to come even possible?.

  NWT: "Most accurate translation" -Who says?

  by Leto in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i remember when i was a witless, i spouted the words "it's the most accurate translation".... i'm sure you did too :).

  i've been researching the topic of just how badly the nwt is mistranslated.

  i keep finding more and more examples of blatant mutilation of scriptures in the nwt.. for the record, i love to know just where are they finding these "scholars" to prop up their assertions that their joke of a bible is the "most accurate"?
