  WT / JW Doctrine ,Satan cast out of Heaven in 1914 ? He has always had access to the earth ? Since Eve .

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this doctrine / belief that jehovah`s witnesses have , surely raises a few questions that they do not address.. 1.this spirit being challenged god by questioning his authority and offering eve an alternative making himself satan.. and this took place on earth ,the garden of eden.

  so he who became satan had access to the earth.. 2. all throughout the old testament , the hebrew scriptures do we find examples of satan interfering with gods plan of things either by himself or his followers .. 3.their are just too many examples to list individually ,however a few key ones would be , the nephilim , job when god in heaven asks him where he has been , and his reply , from roving about on the earth .

  , etc.etc.. 4.and of course in the new testament , where jesus is taken up into a mountain to be tempted by satan for fourty days ?.

  Talking snakes, magical fruit, lost innocence, vengeful gods.

  It sounds like any other myth of any culture of its era when it is read from our historical perspective.

  Then there is the whole other argument as to whether Satan actually lied to Eve about the consequences of eating the fruit.

  Their eyes were opened and they came to a knowledge of good and bad. They would have continued to live if they ate from the tree of life, according to the bible.

  Did Satan know God was going to restrict access to the tree of life, or was that a curve ball thrown by God that no one expected?

  Also, why have a tree of life????

  1958 VS 2019 International Covention

  2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qut4sr9elo.

  so many emotional triggers and not much substance in 2019. at least they highlighted a part of a talk from knorr in the 1958 vid, nothing but a lovefest in the 2019 clip.

  People were so excited to meet the GB back in 1958, as they are today.

  Also , imagine everyones anticipation of the release of the 'Your Will' book, a book I believe is not available on JW org library in 2019 and seems to be a reaction to the nuclear age and an obsession with the launch of the Sputnik satellite.

  International conventions and natiionalism

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been seeing a few international conventions posted here and on social media.

  i can't help but notice what seems like blatant nationalism in terms of dress, greetings, welcome signs.

  am i right or have i simply turned into a hyper sensitive loser that is reading too much into things?

  Social media posts from various conventions have been full of cultural dancing, singing and dress and it has left me wondering where the line between celebrating national identity and nationalism is drawn.

  The idiots Hollyweird destroys the Bond Franchise

  by rockemsockem in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  99% of the people who go to bond films want a straight white english bond with a bit of light sexism and some bond girls thrown in.

  they do not want a tranny bond or a gay or lesbian bond.

  and they do not want a black woman bond.

  A black female bond would be awesome.

  JW`s Claim Their religion is Based Solely on The Bible.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well here are a few words that the watchtower / jw`s religion frequently use that do not appear in the bible , either , old testament or the new testament.. organization , sovereignty , reinstatement , governing body .. and in the christian greek scriptures ,the kingdom interlinear that the jw`s published themselves , a word for word translation of the greek to english does not contain the name / word jehovah ......nowhere ..

  Religious belief has nothing to do with truth. It is simply a matter of convenience.

  The GB/ FDS knows this and so they make it as inconvenient as possible for anyone to leave the organisation, particularly if your family is entrenched.

  The small part of the presidents speech I heard made it sound like the USA was the only country that fought in ww2.

  this subject has been brought up before.

  the governing body and watchtower have repeatedly encouraged jws to show loyalty to the organization to "keep the congregation clean" by reporting wrongdoing to the elders.. i know directly of two cases.

  two jws working in the records department of our local hospital "outed" 3rd gens 1st husband to the local elders when he and his mistress sought medical treatment together for stds.

  Sensitive information about one of my female relatives was given to her family by a self righteous young witness who worked at the clinic she visited.

  Her family threatened legal action against the clinic worker and the clinic if she persisted and the problem went away.

  It would be interesting to see how far the org would distance itself from a health worker who decided to turn in a fellow believer. I'm pretty sure the org would try to wash its hands of any involvement.
