  JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

  i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

  in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

  How did JWs arrive at a clearer understanding of what the Bible teaches than other Christian denominations?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.

  but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?

  new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.

  Proof of two destinies for believers in the Bible, heavenly and earthly

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.

  even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.

  yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.

  MINA TREASURY SERVICES LIMITED, Ireland, Bethel, the vow of poverty, stocks, dividends and Christ Jesus. Find me the connection

  by LaFrancia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i read this from a european blog.

  all the bethelites who are part of it (16 in total) own 631,250 shares (value of each share 1 euro).

  the shares will generate a dividend, but the bethelites have all taken a vow of poverty.

  how do you feel about the use of the name Jehovah now?

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those who still believe in god and the bible, how do you feel/think about the name jehovah now?

  i am one who never wanted to bring reproach on god's name.

  i will admit using the word jehovah now makes me feel rather icky...like i am promoting a lie of sorts.

  by Atlantis in

  2. friends

  news on the person you call (atlantis!).

  (before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.

  he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.

  What evidence is there for a biblical jesus?

  by Touchofgrey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.

  the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.

  i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.
