EVERY Religion has Hypocrites- even the TRUE One!
by MuchCloserLook inso, if you expect to find 'saints' with halos, you will never find real christians.. after over 30 years of being a jw, there are many things about the org that disturb me- yet no one else even acknowledges the only true god, as jesus referred to him.. not a 'they' or 'them' ('trinity')- but him!and he has always had the name jehovah (yehovah in hebrew)- even though the koine greek had no version of it when the nt was written.. so among the many things real christians have to endure- is often each other!

CJ, Yes I am a JW- for over 30 years.
I've lost a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for the GB, yet in contrast my faith in God and Christ is stronger than EVER!
Learning the Catholic Cult was so deceptive, I almost gave up on faith altogether- then a friend gave me the Green Bible.....

Active JW's - Do you see a CONTRADICTION here?
by The Fall Guy inthe bible says this - acts 17:11 “...for they [the beroeans] accepted the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”.
km 9/07 p. 3 question box - does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research...?.
and yet, in various parts of the world, a few associates of our organization have formed groups to do independent research on bible-related subjects... some have pursued an independent group study...so as to analyze the accuracy* of the new world translation... for those who wish to do extra bible study and research, we recommend that they explore insight on the scriptures, “all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial,” and our other publications...” .

But, alas, as a Catholic I read it to prove them wrong, then became shocked at how wrong my church was!

You yourself are proof of God, Jimmy!
Did you make yourself?
Did your mom and dad?
The mindless egg and sperm?
There is SO much more- but I have found that you can never help those not WANTING to see...

WT study April 5 - how uplifting! How happifying! How encouraging!
by sir82 infor you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.
paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.
paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

So, if you expect to find 'saints' with halos, you will NEVER find REAL Christians.
After over 30 years of being a JW, there are MANY things about the ORG that disturb me- yet NO ONE ELSE even ACKNOWLEDGES the Only True God, as Jesus referred to Him.
Not a 'They' or 'Them' ('Trinity')- but HIM!And He has always had the Name Jehovah (Yehovah in Hebrew)- even though the Koine Greek had no version of it when the NT was written.
So among the many things real Christians have to endure- is often each OTHER!

They try so hard to preserve our unity, that they often go overboard.
But closely examining the NWT is GREAT- they will quickly see how accurate it really is!

Why not actually consider what he believes and compare it to the Bible?
You may discover things you haven't been able to see...
