  Their go to excuse - "Someone must have had a 'secret sin' and that caused Jehovah not to extend his protection."

  or...

  "Time and unforeseen circumstance..."

  How do you feel when people quote an inspirational or lovely passage from the bible?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a thought occurred to us today about how christians, including witnesses love to quote some lovely passage of the bible as proof of god's love, or the value of the bible.. but just because a small passage or sentence is quoted doesn't mean the whole book is to be valued.. for instance, there may be a nice sentence or comment expressed in the passage of mein kampf, but would that make the book or it's author worthy of quoting or following?

  the entire book and its message needs to taken into consideration!

  (obviously that author had genocidal tendencies and disturbing ideas).

  Here's the only one I quote -

  And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. - Judges 1:19

  I started posting quotes from the Viking sagas. I get a lot of compliments for what I post.

  Climate change is just one of the many new faces of Communism. It has nothing to do with the environment and everything with the redistribution of wealth.

  Imagine the next time Witnesses come to your door and you agree to an in-home Bible study under one condition - You get to choose the Watchtower publication that is studied.

  have you noticed how the main Jw preaching message has changed?

  by nowwhat? in

  years ago it was all about armageddon and getting out of babylon the great.

  then with the draw close to jehovah and is there a creator that care about you.

  it was all about building a relationship with jehovah.

  I noticed this began over decade ago. The literature cut back on Paradise propaganda because "We don't want people focusing on salvation, but rather developing a relationship with Jehovah."

  You may recall that the cover to the "Knowledge" book was changed from a paradise painting to a mountain.

  I believe the end of their printed literature as well. They will outsource it in lands where tablets and PCs are not everyday household items. You will be able to download their literature...for a modest donation.

  What Was/Is The Dumbest JW Belief?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!

  almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!

  If you mean strictly a JW belief, the whole 1914 thing.

  The Great Flood is a whopper.

  The Bible is God's word. Remember, "All scripture is inspired and beneficial" and if "anyone takes away from the scroll...". Yet, the so-called "apochryphal" were deleted centuries after they were written. 367AD is when the canonical 66 books were decided upon.

  The wedding ceremony practiced by JWs in the United States and the use of wedding rings comes from pagan beliefs of preventing the bride from being possessed by spirits.

  How do jw's view this?

  by carla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how do jw's view the following scripture or how differently does it read in their version?.

  1 timothy 5:8- anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.-niv.

  but if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.-kjv.

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  i have little doubt articles of impeachment will be drawn up on trump within the next year or so.

  my only question at this point is what are they going to get him for?.

  collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?.

  Absolutely nothing.

  There is one real political party in Washington D.C. The party of elitists. It seems that no elected officials will ever be held accountable for their illegal activities because it will expose the lot of them.
