  You would be better off going to your local newspaper if you really want things to get done.

  The MACALLAN immortality hope!

  by BoogerMan in

  if you drink macallan whisky, at armageddon you will become righteous immediately, a son of god, brother of christ, an immortal king/priest, and to cap it all, help all the un-righteous minions on earth grow to perfection gradually over the next 12,000 months.

  no such 'growing' needed for macallan drinkers!

  27 And taking a cup of 35 year single malt scotch, he offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: “Drink out of it, all of you, 28 for this means my servants hard earned money, which is to be poured out in behalf of the Governing Body for forgiveness of your sins. - Matthew 26:27-28, NWT

  Jesus's brothers-apostates?

  by enoughisenough in

  this came to me today.

  at first jesus's own brothers didn't believe in him....thought he was crazy...can you imagine him shunning them for apostasy?

  i would think disbelieving in jesus would be far worse than disbelieving the gb.

  Jesus conducted miracles and his own brothers doubted him. Not a sin.

  Sadducees stated Jesus' miracles were from the demons. That was an unforgivable sin.

  Conclusion - denying the Governing Body is Jesus appoint slave from 1919 to the present is not heresy or a sin.

  This is the second time I have seen law enforcement executing a Search Warrant on a Kingdom Hall this year. 2 different Kingdom Halls in 2 different states. What I can also add is, in all my years, I have never seen a Search Warrant executed on any other religion except cases of extreme abuse in cult compounds.

  Christmas and the name jehovah

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the same reasons jw's reject christmas they use the name jehovah.. dec 25 is the recognized day to celebrate the birth of christ in the world.- we use jehovah because it is the recognized name of the father in the world.. it dishonors jesus because we don't know the actual date of jesus birth- even though we don't know the actual pronouncing of gods name it brings honor to god to use it.

  even though the angels rejoiced at the birth of jesus, no where in the bible does it say we should celebrate it.

  even though no where in the bible does it say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah, we proudly bear his name!.

  My family and I commonly celebrate birthdays a day before or a day later as it helps with schedules so everyone can attend. It doesn't "dishonor" the persons be doing so. Just the opposite - we all have a good time celebrating our family member's birth.

  There is no law or tradition that demands birthdays be celebrated or that they not be celebrated or that they can only be celebrated on the actual calendar day of birth.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are the true masters of making up whatever they want as "truth" and then grasping at straws to justify it with erroneous reasoning and taking scripture out of context.

  Just to be sure I read this article correctly; The claim is that the Watchtower is putting the JW membership on notice that they are aware of PIMO members and the bodies of elders have been tasked with sniffing them out?

  mark jones explains the watchtower gospel much better than i can.. "the good news that christians in the first century preached was the birth, death and resurrection of jesus christ; that all those who believed in him were saved and reconciled to god through the death of his son.. unfortunately jehovah’s witnesses) have been led to believe it is something bizarrely different.

  the good news according to the watchtower society is as follows:.

  Then for a long time he did nothing until 1919 when he chose the Watchtower society publishing company to be his channel of communication on earth. 3 He fed false information to the Watchtower leaders over the decades “as a cleansing” to sift out “those serving a date”. This is known as “new light”. 4

  1. Jesus did nothing until 1919.
  2. Jesus fed the Watchtower false information for decades to cull the weak.

  So, according to the Watchtower, Jesus is a lazy do-nothing and a liar.

  He downsized to a 1,300-square-foot condominium and sold his restaurant in late 2022. “I am now happier because the stress of the business is not there and I can be in my ministry full-time,” he said.

  If I sold a 4,000 square-foot home and a business to move into a smaller place my stress would go right out the window, too. I could spend my free time helping the poor and down trodden with real solutions are "right now" and not "coming soon" for the last 2,000 years.

  I was saw the term "Yahweh sect" used to describe Jehovah's Witnesses and other sects that concentrate their belief system on the Old Testament. Makes sense.

  This is a good challenge. A part of the challenge is agreeing on the definition of "pagan". I believe that for the question posed the definition should be -

  a person who worships many gods or goddesses or the earth or nature : a person whose religion is paganism. 2. old-fashioned + often offensive : a person who is not religious or whose religion is not Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.

  In addition it has to be specifically a Watchtower teaching.
