  Serious bible students questions about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many jws (and others) are serious about their biblical studies, but don't ask the right questions.

  in basic journalism one learns to ask the right questions which in my years here, i've never hear asked.. who, what, where, by what help, by whose help, why, how and when.

  these are all basic questions when researching anything that you want to write an article or paper on what ever related subject.. who wrote/created the bible?.

  Sea Breeze,

  Seems to me John 5:39 is warning about Bible worship / fundamentalism. It existed in Jesus' days and the Americans resurrected it. The Bible is not the source of faith, the Spirit is.

  we used to sing a slow song in the late 60's and early 70's that went something like : "don't be afraid of them that can kill the body buy cannot kill the soul" .... or something like that.does anyone remember that one?.

  Are you guys getting doctrinally rusty? Of course scripture forces JW to say we have a soul. Just not an immortal one that can live on without the body. It is the inner man etc. Therefore it is important to be in Jehovah's memory. I would imagine they think the verse in question speaks of the second death? Jehovah would raise those who accepted Jehovah's org and remained loyal as well as the ignorant masses of the the time prior to JW.org. But if you become disloyal to JW.org, then your soul is killed when you die or the great A comes

  the press or fake news i.e.

  npr, abc,nbc,cbc, cnn, pmsnbc, all are suspiciously silent.

  as blacks rampage around killing, attacking and looting the press says nothing to see here move on.

  "Blacks are around 10 to 12 percent of the US population and commit around 40 percent of the crime. " Blacks got a problem for sure, progressive blacks have pointed out that often.

  whataboutism at it's finest. We are talking present Western conditions and general character traits, not what happened with US soldiers in a cruel war.

  As for Balkan and Clinton's warcrimes, I think we are taught many lies about the Serbs and we can be sure the muslisms did not hold back, as also the Balkan muslims indeed did not in their ww2 jihad.

  What would happen if the Watchtower decided no more meeting at Kingdom Halls, only Zoom?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.

  now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.

  even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.

  Which English Translations of the Bible are you Favorites, and Why?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  which english translations of the bible are you favorites, and why?

  my favorites include the (english) revised version bible (of 1881-1885) and its apocrypha (of 1898), the american revised version bible (of 1898, it close to the american standard version), the american standard version bible (of 1901), the new american standard bible - updated edition, the new revised standard version bible with the apocrypha, the complete bible: an american translation (it includes the apocrypha), and the twentieth century new testament.

  i also use others beside those.. they are my favorites because i consider them to be highly accurate, and also they are either very literal (but not so literal as to be hard to understand) or they use functional equivalence.

  JW and Muslims resemble eachother when it comes to work rightiousness. But JWs are not overly criminal compared to to other groups and they dont beat up and gangrape people in groups. I recall a case from Sweden where a girl had been raped by a large group in every bodily opening and they had also caused her significant brain damage by repeatedly smashing her head into the concrete floor. Ethnic Europeans dont do that. JWs dont do that. There is a difference.

  What irony when the atheists of the West experience "similar responses" from their beloved imports .

  I might add that many muslims in Europe do believe sharia is above western decadence. We saw that recently in France where numerous muslims have been convicted for death threaths against a young woman that somehow blasphemed Muhammed. That is the worldview they bring with them. The liberals will only be allowed to think differently the day the problems come to the neighborhoods of the liberal elite .
