  Has anybody heard about the Hebrew word "Hovah"?

  by brotherunsure in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just tried to paste the link from a concordance but i guess it doesn't work on here but if you look up the hebrew word "hovah" it means ruin and disaster... given that, do you think jehovah is an appropriate thing to be calling the lord god?.

  Does Jehovah hate beards?

  has the watchtower ever rationalized their obsession with depilation or claimed there was a biblical basis for banning beards, or is it simply because jehovah's corporation/faithful and discrete slave says so?.

  The old literature with a clean shaven Jesus is kind of creepy...

  TRINITY Challenge for JW's, Unitarians and Anyone Else

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  trinity challenge using only the new world translation of the holy scriptures -- let us debate and reason on the scriptures about whether god almighty is a trinity, or is only one person.. on another thread, bane said that we know for a fact immediately that nearly all religions other than jehovah's witnesses are false because almost all of them believe in the trinity.

  and bane claims he can "out-scripturize" anyone with the help of jehovah.

  * the son was praying to the father.

  I once came across a Jehovah witness myspace group captioned "F--- the Jesus lovers" started by some teenager. I've heard of people getting dragged into the back room for mentioning Jesus too much. I guess they reduced the number of instances he's mentioned in the new song book? So I don't know, it kind of seems like the Watchtower demotes Christ whereas trinitarians elevate him above Jehovah and Jehovah/The father takes a back burner.

  Interesting Experience...

  so my girlfriend and i were walking to the post office and this really quiet guy comes up and comments that he likes my shirt (black shirt that says "lucifer" in white text).

  he then goes on to say that he's a monk and wants us to have this "free" book on meditation.

  my girlfriend is big into meditation, so she's like "okay" and starts looking at it, and then he tells us that he can't give it to us unless we make a donation so that they can pay to print another book.

  I'm not sure how to quote posts here but to blacksheep thanks. But yeah it seems like some trinitarians are more like oneness pentecostals, they just say Jesus is God. It kind of annoys me when they say "The Bible talks about 'God the Son'" because the term "God the son" isn't found in any Bible translation that I'm aware of. But the ones that don't say Jesus is the one only God say there are three gods don't they? So how is that not polytheism? If Jesus is God who did he pray to and who sent him? If he's one of three gods that means there's three gods doesn't it?

  I have a hard time even understanding the consensus definition of the trinity doctrine. Some seem to view it as 3 separate gods, others view it as 1 with 3 split personalities that prays to itself, and others seem to think of it as a bit of both, like a siamese 3 headed god type situation. In the first two lines in your own definition how is that not a contradiction?

  "* There is only One True God by Nature.

  * There are Three Distinct Persons who share equally the Nature of God."

  ...I don't get it. I honestly don't get it. Is it 1 or 3? How can it be both? And where does the Bible say anything about 3?

  Kingdom Interlinear = apostate literature?

  by brotherunsure in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has anybody else come across jdubs that have never heard of the kingdom interlinear translation?

  i noticed this artcle http://www.soundwitness.org/jw/kit_part1.htm and i've found when i asked witnesses about it some never heard of it and other's had heard of it but didn't have one and didn't know if they were still in print and one got all weird and suspicious saying "well what do you want it for?".

  when i called the watchtower and asked if it was still in print the guy had to put me on hold and look it up somewhere, he didn't know off the top of his head.

And apparently now it's only printed in Brazil and imported... I wonder if it's just a matter of time before they get rid of it entirely? Thoughts?
