  JW's are not Christians

  by Witch Hunter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've noticed on this forum that a fair few ex-jw's still refer to the members of the non-christain cult known as the jehovah's witneses as christians.

  im aware that current members may wrongly believe they are in fact christians because the organisation leads them to believe they are serving god.

  but for ex-members who are awake to the false teachings of this non-christain organisation, i thought they may be more prudent in their choice of words, and not refer to them as christians.

  They are "Jehovah's Christian Witnesses" and believe in Jesus as saviour. He is "a god" but not God almighty. (John 1:1 when translated JW style)

  Believe in 607 BCE or you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by VM44 in

  if a jw states that 607 bce is incorrect, how long will it take before the elders announce from the platform to the congregation that the person is "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses"?

  Approved association with Jehovah?s Witnesses requires accepting the entire range of the true teachings of the Bible, including those Scriptural beliefs that are unique to Jehovah?s Witnesses.

  What if you were kicked out for not accepting a teaching that they later admitted was wrong. Do you get to come back?

  A comment I heard tonight

  tonight i heard one of the most cruel and twisted comments i've ever heard at the platform.

  the topic was the apocalypse and whether or not children will be slaughtered.

  through one side of his mouth, the po stated that the bible is not clear on the matter, while out the other side he pointed to all those old testament accounts where children were killed.

  Oh go away, Cyper50, for crying out loud. You're so full of nonsense that you must be overweight by at least 500 pounds.

  Cyper50 will go away when destroyed at Armageddon and then you can have a good laugh.

  i have always wondered: to what extent do the elders go to get contributions?.

  how closely do you think the elders work with individuals?.

  i left the org.

  His obvious intent was to ridicule, and nothing else.

  Some "professor" you are!

  I am also not really on Gilligan's Island, but I can tell when someone is being attacked unnecessarily. Hope you cheer up.

  it was pretty odd.

  we had a jw sister come to our door on sunday by herself.

  she walked up really slowly and quietly.

  This is just like when you get those calls around dinner but no one is there: Telemarketer on an automatic dialer hanging up on calls to blow time.

  i dont know how many of you attended a spanish speaking hall like i did but in my experience and from reading people's posts i think that there are some pretty big differences.

  1. spanish congs are more liberal .

  Sounds about right. I'm sure none of them could possibly be as annoying as that Dora the Explorer Chick.

  Would the W.T. be open for massive lawsuits if they changed blood policy?

  i was just thinking of this, because of my last post topic.

  if the watchtower changed their no blood policy to accepting whole blood, would and could that .

  open the flood gates for law suits from jdubs that sacrificed their children for the tower, or would .

  unfortunately i dont think it would cause a mass exodus, no major changes before this has.

  That's actually not true. Failed dates and changes in policy (such as smoking) have caused people to leave in droves at times. The new cause is the Internet.
