  Baptism in whose name?

  by SharonUT in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if this has been answered before, just point me in the right direction.

  matthew 28:19 says to be baptized in the "name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy ghost.

  " what is the justification used in jehovah's witnesses changing this.

  Coming vs. Presence

  by SharonUT in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as i have studied the kjv, matthew 24:3 uses the word "coming" in the same way matthew 21:5 does.

  matthew 24:3: "and as he sat upon the mount of olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be?

  and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

  Accepted 66 books of Canon

  by SharonUT in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  considering an apostacy that was well into swing by 100ad, and worse yet by the time the nicene council was held in 325ad... how are jehovah's witnesses sure about the basically protestant canon they initially accepted which was canonized about 376ad at earlist and still even then, many christians didn't agree upon that and still don't today!

  i could go into more detail if desired... but upon what basis to jw's accept this canon from an apostate generation?

  how do they know that other books such as the book of enoch originally held to be scripture and quoted frequently in mark or the shepherd of hermes should not be included as inspired?

  Making money out of the dead and holocaust

  by Kent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you may know, victims from the nazi camps can get compensation, and the watchtower has naturally found a new way to get money - from the dead!

  they propose that they will get the money - and "give it away to needy jws".

  since when did the watchtower do anything of the kind?

  Satan, Serpents, Seraphs, Dragons... and Wisdom

  by AGuest in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  may you all have peace!.

  i would like to interject independently of a thread below, where the debate is satan being god's 'wife'... and therefore, wisdom.. 1. satan... was one of the 'cherubs' that was 'covering' the ark of the covenant.

  michael is the other 'arkangel', and both were created to 'cover' the propitiatory... which 'covers'... the ark.. exodus 25:17-22. ezekiel 28:14, 17.

  Wisdom Personified

  by ozziepost in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the next time a householder says to you: everyone has his own interpretation of the bible, how will you respond?

  perhaps you will use the suggestion from the reasoning book (page 65) you might reply: and obviously not all of them are right.

  you might add: twisting the scriptures to fit our own ideas can result in lasting harm .
