  How do Witnesses reconcile Isaiah 43:10 with John 1:1

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  something does not compute.

  you are my witnesses,”declares jehovah, yes, my servant whom i have chosen, so that you may know and have faith in me and understand that i am the same one.before me no god was formed, and after me there has been none.

  isaiah 43:10. in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god and the word was god.

  In my opinion, this isn't the verse that would ever catch a JW. You would go in circles with a JW with neither side budging

  Oh yes, remember when we had the “Make Sure of All Things” and Reasoning book in our toolkit?

  My memory of all things Jobot has faded

  It gets that way, eh!

  Paul used this contention of these issues between the Sadducees and the Pharisees to save himself

  Huh! Can you elaborate…..Pls

  What I am finding is that the divinity of Jesus was invented after Jesus' execution

  No, sorry to disappoint but Jesus himself confirmed it.

  Lloyd seems, to me, to be angry with “God” in general.

  Yep, methinks “he protesteth too much”.

  Like a kid proclaiming their innocence when the guilt is obvious, LE seems to think his beliefs (yes, atheism can be classified as a belief system) are a badge of honor.

  IMO this does nothing to validate his exJW status. Probably the opposite.

  Cheers,

  A "movement" only has value if it is based on truth and integrity.

  Good grief, are you serious?

  C’mon people, just because you exited a cult, doesn’t make you, or l, or us a “movement”. A movement describes a “whole” but that hasn’t been shown in any kind of evidence.

  Many of us posting here over many years have posted our disavowal of all things Watchtower but have walked different paths.

  A “movement” ? I’m not so sure.

  I’m more sure of an affection for JWN. - luvs ya peeps !

  Cheers,

  This issue made prime time news here yesterday with an interview with Australia’s Foreign Minister discussing the issue.

  "The Truth"

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that jws consider the wt religion to be "the truth" and refer to it as such.. granted, that phrase is used repeatedly in the literature and from the platform.. but it's obvious that much of what the organization used to require jws to teach house-to-house as important truths--even within our own lifetimes--has been abandoned.

  it's been replaced by "new light" and "refined understanding.

  what's meant by "the 1914 generation" is a prime example.. in fact, i think it would be hard to find another religion that has changed so many of its teachings, especially in such a short period of time.. so why do jws still believe their religion to be "the truth"?.

  And of course if the R&F say it often enough, in time the habit becomes their reality.

  i find this an odd picture ; wouldn’t a caring parent take her to the Children’s books section of the store, like why is she made to wait around in the adult or reference section?

  I thought this was a thread about a certain John Cedars/Lloyd Evans, not for ‘canceling’ anybody else.
