  has anyone been to e-watchman-exposed.com site.

  i was reading some of the post and i get so frustrated with their illogical reasoning that i have to stop and come back to it later.

  and of course no one is allowed on that doesn't agree with them.

  The WT Is Doomed By Its Own Words

  from the message bible:.

  deuteronomy 18:20 "but any prophet who fakes it, who claims to speak in my name something i haven't commanded him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.

  21 -22 you may be wondering among yourselves, "how can we tell the difference, whether it was god who spoke or not?

  Can you get disfellowshipped for anything?

  by Solace1998 in

  cant the elders make it so that any deviation or any thought could be considered "loose conduct" and therefore a disfellowshipping offense?

  When people ask me whether you can be disfellowshipped from the JW's for such-and-such a thing, my answer for a long time now has been, "You can be disfellowshipped for anything that three elders can agree you should be disfellowshipped for."

  Demons and inanimate objects

  by TheListener in

  1. jw

  in another thread vm44 asked if there was any biblical precedent to a demon attaching itself to an inanimate object.. no one answered on that thread yet.

  i don't recall any such thing being in the bible.. does anyone have a scripture that shows the demons can attach or demonize an inanimate object?.

  if not, then it really does seem plausible that the wts are using the demons just like other religions may use hellfire.

  I do believe that the concept of evil spirits attaching themselves to inanimate objects is part and parcel of the religion of Voodoo. You surely won't find the concept in the Bible. I thought JW's had done away with all pagan doctrines?

  Witness work at 2 a.m.?

  by Fatfreek in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a non-jw friend in a southern state has close ties to a jw with a late teen-aged son.

  this son is pioneering during late hours, meaning 11 pm to 2 am.

  i'm told his car group calls on, among others, convenience store workers where they apparently have much idle time on their hands.

  Pioneers in need of hours can be very creative.

  So can young people who want to get out of the house at night.

  Acts 7:59

  by civicsi00 in

  riddle me this about acts 7:59.. ok, so last night i pulled out the 1985 kingdom interlinear and just started perusing through it.

  after a while, i arrived at acts 7:59 where stephen "appealed" to jesus.

  this is what i also found:.

  The sequence of events in Acts 7 weighs against the WTS' contention that Stephen was addressing Jesus directly as he saw Him in vision rather than praying to Him (though I'm not sure there is really a distinction there). In verse 57, Stephen sees Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father. He is subsequently dragged out of the city and stoned. Are we to understand, then, that the vision persisted during all the time that Stephen was being dragged out of the city? It seems far more likely that Stephen was praying to Jesus in the normal sense.

  As an interesting side note, Jesus was seen standing at the right hand of the Father in this text. He is usually seen as sitting at the Father's right hand. Some commentators have speculated that Jesus, in effect, rose from His throne to welcome the soul of the first Christian martyr.

  I was talking to my mom the other night about college, and how I wasn't allowed to go (in the 80s). She said "Well, the reason you didn't go wasn't because you weren't allowed, it was because the end was so close back then".

  me:

  As Bob Dylan said, "Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

  Drew Carey and Revelations. Another e-mail forward from my folks....

  Servants News is published by a spin-off of the old Worldwide Church of God, founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. Armstrong followers also teach that Christmas, Easter etc. are pagn and not to be celebrated, and they also have a strong emphasis on apocalyptic prophecy. In fact, Armstrong used to teach that the end of the wold was coming in 1975 - sound familiar?

  So Drew Carey might more easily have gotten his info from the Armstrongites, since that is who is publishing the report of it.
