"Other sheep" JW's are NOT witnesses & should NOT be preaching!

by BoogerMan in

only those who think that they'll soooooooon be king/priests, can be called "witnesses" and do preaching work.. w98 2/1 p. 17 par.

16 - in 33 c.e., the israel of god (not r/f jw's!

) replaced fleshly israel and became jehovah’s “servant,” his “witnesses.”.

Christian believers have a gift waiting for them at the Great White Throne Judgment regarding the "annointed" who claim to be Jews of "spiritual Israel". A litle gift of acknowledgement for all the trouble this group has caused them:

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. - Jesus (Rev. 3: 9)

Thank you Jesus.

Shaking Down Satan - WT Sues Norway

by Sea Breeze in

i wonder how many witnesses are aware that the wt and their team of lawyers are currently suing the government of norway for millions of dollars?

i thought that the wt taught that all the governments were run by satan.

when i was a witness, this would have really bothered me.

To the right of Noomi, in the picture, is a woman in a blue skirt, with a disapproving look on her face. I’m guessing she’s a PIMI?

She's got that look on her face: "I'm not moved by your tears, this is what you chose".

JW's are the coldest-hearted people on earth.

and a groping hand

Stan, I think it is more of a protective gesture to prevent his wife from getting too close to a diseased mind speaking against their organization. Wouln't want any of her poison to rub off on his wife.

Jehovah or Satan?

Apparently, Norway has decided they will no longer fund an organization that destroys families and shuns children.

My parents did not really shun me when I left but I am now breaking their hearts…

by sinboi in

if they have shunned me and chase me out of the house when i leave the cult, i would not give a damn.

i can still feel their love and concern for me even now.. though i have moved out voluntarily when i joined the army, i am afraid that the life i am living now will break their hearts.

i am now a bartender in a bar and am cohabiting with a woman.

My advice is to read up on co-dependency and boundaries.

The Crosses of Pompeii presents a good case for the presence of Christians in Pompeii prior to AD 79. The apostle Paul visited the area. Jehovah's Witnesses who maintain that Jesus died on a pole should be especially interested.

Looks like there were several times Babylon invaded Israel from 607-586 B.C. With each rebellion against Babylonian rule, Nebuchadnezzar would come and haul off more captives.

Here's is a good discussion on what happened:

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars (continued)

friends

uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.

The fact of the matter is that if/when they divorce, eventually some other man will be sleeping with his wife (young attractive women usually don't last long in the singles sphere); and his girls will be calling another man daddy...... and he gets to pay for it. Most men are simply not willing to turn their wife and kids over to another man and mail them a pile of cash every month. But, I guess he is not most men. Very generous of him.

It will hit him like a ton of bricks one day.

Governing Body's failed doctrines blamed on Jehovah's gradual revealment

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh9w8zmgli0.

( starts at the 21:00 minute mark ) governing body member jeffrey winder reveals the real reason for the failed doctrines throughout the watchtower's 150 year history.

he claims that the governing body are neither inspired or infallible.. the governing body do not need to apologize for getting doctrines wrong.. the governing body ''do their best with what they have and what they understand at the time.''.

Sea Breeze

why doesn’t rank and file see this?

False prophecies, hypocrisy, teaching changing "truth".... none of it matters. JW's are blinded to the obvious for the same reason that the Pharisees couldn't accept Jesus even after acknowledging that his miracles were real.

John 11: 47 - "Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles."

Jesus didn't come to judge the world, but to save it. He attacked people's illusions of superiority. Biblical Christianity doesn't fit with the moral superiority of JW mindset. This is what they are unwilling to budge on.

Interesting comment from the video remarks:

I am a linguist of Jewish ancestry who has worked in Bible translation. You are correct about the "cross" problem with the JWs.

Remember that the incidents reported in the New Testament took place in the languages of Aramaic, spoken by the Jews, and Latin which was the language used by the Romans--nothing happened in Greek. (The Jews stopped speaking Hebrew before the Babylonian exile and only used it when reading the Bible in the synagogue like today.)

Greek was used as the "lingua franca" so that people across the Roman Empire who spoke a plethera of different tongues could understand the gospel (it was the "common language" of the Empire due to the previous Hellenization under Alexander the Great.)

Everything that happened, including the crucifixion, had to be translated into Koine Greek--but the cross was a new invention by the Romans and there was no word for it in Greek. So they used the word STAUROS for it, but it was imprecise. as STAUROS only means pole.

The Roman instrument of torture, the cross used a pole, a crossbeam, and a small foot rest to induce a slow means of suffication to victims who were stripped nude and forced to urinate and empty their bowels upon themselves over a period of several days until they died in front of passersby.

Another word, XYLON meaning "tree" is used by Luke and Peter after Jesus is resurrected for theological purposes because Christians likened the Cross to the "Tree of Life" from the Garden of Eden. The Church Fathers also used XYLON for the Cross and created an entire theology based on this.
