THOUGHT PROVOKING QUESTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!

i printed these questions from a website long ago, and loved them to death cuz they freed me from that god-forsaken religion.

i challenge any witness to answer all of them in their entirety, since the true religion stands against all falsehood.

please note that these are from scriptures in the new world translation, used by jehovah's witnesses.

it's my 1st time to post here..i'm basically an open-minded person.

so it has always bothered me to think that there is only one true religion.i've always told this to my mom but she thinks otherwise.

i love my mom so much that i would do anything to make her happy but she knows that i have doubts.

one of the things that used to annoy me in the new testament was the "believe in jesus" message.

any explainations seemed fuzzy at best so i decided to take a run at it from behind and find the definintion of an un-believer.here is what i came up with and i welcome other opinions.

many of the people around jesus were jews, they walked with him, talked with him, listened to his teachings and witnessed his miracles.

the society has condemned just about everyone to second death, especially those who have been jusged in the past by jehovah [adam, sodom, flood victims, etc.

what do you friends say, does the society have an argument?

are those judged in the past to stay judged and dead?.

The Remnant Watchtower
by ozziepost in

2. bible
this week's watchtower study article (feb 15 p23) should be re-named "the remnant manifesto"!.

a subliminal message centered on the use of the word "remnant" runs right through the article.. para 5: "a faithful remnant in ancient judah were to benefit.".

para 6: "so jehovah prospered the faithful remnant...".

Christ and those prophesies.
by uncle_onion in

last night on bbc1 there was a programme that was talking of the life of christ.one of the things that it mentioned was that the jews were waiting for the messiah to appear although they were expecting a warrior leader.. this got me thinking.

i remember reading an article that show 70 "prophecies" in the bible, that were fulfilled by the birth of christ.the jews would have known about these.

also what about the 70 weeks prophecy that is meant to prophecy the birth of christ?
