  I don't get it.

  i am a historian and the period of english history from henry vii to elizabeth i is my specialist area.. i was talking to an ex-jw about the time when tyndale first translated the bible into english with his intention that everyone from the ploughboy upwards would be able to read and understand the scriptures.

  it dawned on us both that this was a significant point in english history.. just having access to the bible in hi their own language allowed the common man to understand what god wanted him to understand.. it was and is, so simple.. why then oh why then do jehovah's witnesses think that they need a fds to explain it to them?

  when in the 1600s just having a bible written in english was enough for people to understand the word of god?.

  It was a sales technique employed by Charles Taze Russell. Russell published his teachings and interpretations of the Bible. He marketed them as being better than reading the Bible because he was literally the only person on Earth who could explain it all as he was the Faithful and Discreet Slave.

  This marketing technique continued after Russell's death with Rutherford. All that changed was that the number of people expanded from one to eight. Now the Governing Body tells everyone only they can explain the scriptures and no one should do their own research.

  Is The Religion Of Jehovah's Witnesses Biblical?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the answer is a definite no!.

  because every doctrine that is unique to jehovah's witnesses is not in the bible.

  the unique doctrines of jehovah’s witnesses are the ones that only jehovah’s witnesses teach.

  Here is an interesting article on 10 extra-Biblical doctrines of Christianity.

  https://medium.com/belover/10-key-christian-beliefs-that-arent-in-the-bible-9843fd9ef40a

  The more I look into Christianity the more I am convinced that Jesus would have nothing to do with it.

  Research project: A study designed to explore the experience of leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by Researcher2023 in

  as part of a psychology msc research project, i am looking for participants to take part in a study designed to explore the experience of leaving the jehovah’s witnesses.. former witnesses who were raised in the organisation will be asked a few questions about their reasons for leaving, their experience of leaving, and how their life has changed since leaving.. taking part involves completing an interview over the internet.

  according to research needs, the number of questions asked in each interview may vary.

  the interview will take between 5 – 90 minutes depending on the questions asked and the level of detail you wish to provide.. your participation will remain confidential and anonymous, and it is completely voluntary so that you may withdraw at any time up to two weeks after the interview.

  I'm in. Anything that can bring the public's attention to the reality of being one of Jehovah's Witnesses is time well spent.

  JW's & "pagan origins" teachings.

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the cult demands that the "sheeple" avoid anything which has "pagan origins," so for consistency, the wtbts should come clean and abandon the use of the pagan gregorian calendar, and adopt the biblical hebrew calendar.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gregorian_calendar#months.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hebrew_calendar.

  The MACALLAN immortality hope!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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
