  Can you list watchtower articles that claim anything from the 'faithful slave' should be taken as from jehovah himself?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a few wts that put to the effect anything from them should be taken as from jehovah himself and also with elders or being disfellowshipped, that it means jehovah himself is angry with them, that's it's punishment from him.

  The Governing Body has NEVER claimed to be inspired…

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there was a recent thread here which covered the subject of the gb claiming to be spirit directed (and not actually inspired by the holy spirit).

  by now, most of us are quite aware that this is just a play with words to excuse themselves whenever one of their false doctrines is debunked (by someone using the bible or their own publications).

  but when you think of it, spirit-directed is actually more presumptuous than spirit-inspired.. that being said, id really like to draw attention to the fact that the wt continuously claims that the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has never claimed to be inspired by god (through his holy spirit).

  It's one of those "We absolutely never gave you a ham sandwich, we just gave you a piece of bread, some mayonaise, some ham, some lettuce, some tomato, a little salt and pepper and more mayonaise, and another piece of bread, but we did not EVER EVER want you to ever think of putting them all together and make a ham sandwich out of it, OH NO, that's not what we wanted you to do"

  Paradise 101

  why didn't early apostles and christians speak of living forever on earth and growing to physical perfection if this was jehovah's plan all along for one of the two groups?.

  Because the "reward" for the group "early apostles and Christians" did not have a earthly hope.

  I know that this is a long shot and I do not know if the dates coincide but could that person that was covered up be Olin Moyle?

  I thought maybe so but then remembered that his wife was there at Bethel also and that would mean both would be edited out, right?

  Ideas, thoughts, ?

  Update on Mrs Obvious and myself

  2. experiences

  well it's been about 8 months since my final wake up.

  as some may remember for my intro thread, i panicked and was way too aggressive at first with telling my wife all about this scam we're a part of.

  she freaked, thinking satan had me for sure.

  What About Adam & Eve?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what are the teachings of the jehovah's witnesses in regard to adam and eve?

  i know that they believe the fall was a horrible, horrible mistake and that man was never intended to fall (despite god's foreknowledge).

  does the atonement of christ cover their sins or are they to be destroyed after their resurrection?
