  Romans 10:13 - got owned in a jw study. need help with greek.

  by bohm in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for reasons i have posted on another topic i have become involved with a study with a rather knowledgeable jw.

  i try to stay clear of the scripture (im an atheist who have never read the bible so i have desided to agree with his interpretation of the scripture for the sake of argument, however to say that when it come to interpretations of the bible, there are also many other ways to think about it, and it require significant research for me to commit to one particular view).

  we talked about how you know jehovahs witness have the truth and ofcourse the conversation went into the usual topics like using the name jehovah (however, it did end where i felt it should, on jesus selection in 1918, more on that on another thread).

  Coptic John 1:1 makes it into the Watchtower.

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt november 1st has a two page article on how the early sahidic coptic version of the new testament translated god with an indefinite article in john 1:1 and argues this supports the new world translation's rendering "and the word was a god".

  online witness apologists have been using this piece of evidence in support of the nwt for a few years now.

  in particular solomon landers promoted the coptic version of john 1:1 in discussions with evangelicals and other who oppose witness theology.

  Should Smoking Be a Mortal Sin?

  by skeeter1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jdubs hang their hat on the fact that the wts was right about not smoking.

  (the jdubs forget that the wts did not get it right on vaccinations or organ transplants...but that's for another post).

  granted, saying "no" to smoke was a good, healthy decision.

  District Assembly eating rules....

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during our district assembly which will be held at a coliseum, we were told not to go outside during the intermission, and not eat in restaurants near by.

  we were told to bring our own food and eat inside the coliseum.

  usually, the coliseum offers hot dogs and hamburgers and drinks, but the brothers refused this service.. .

  Ray Franz.....LIAR?

  by integ in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of my witness family members agreed to take a look at crisis of conscience, and after.

  perusing the first couple of chapters, said that she thought it could be all made up.

  agreed that the documents presented could be legitimate, but as far as franz's personal.

  2. bible

  considering the latest questions from readers article on blood transfusion, i was wondering what the feelings are among this forums participants about blood transfusion.

  over the years the society has been receiving a growing amount of letters on the subject of blood and blood transfusion.

  any interesting biblical perspectives here about whether "abstain from blood" means abstain from blood transfusion?
