now I just think you're an idiot. Congradulations
I love it when somewrites writes that someone else is an idiot, and then fails in their spelling!
Well I'm sure I confused a ton of people. I guess it was a dumb experiment.
i was a jw for a lot of years, like many of you.
i wanted to try an experiment and try out my jw apologist chops.
since we have such a hard time finding a jw apologist that can argue well, i thought i'd give it a whirl.

jehovah's witness.
no one must ever compromise any of the essential, life-saving truths from god, but to truly be part of the "one body" required of christians, everyone must compromise some personal beliefs, preferences, interpretations, etc.. the jewish christians in rome were commanded to give up the mosaic law.
this was a task that was most difficult for them.
Wouldn't Korah have said the same things about Moses? They would have looked at all of Moses' faults and seen that he was a poor representative of Jehovah too. But Jehovah chooses to use imperfect men.
Even David did not disrespect the anointed of Jehovah. And Saul was not doing as Jehovah commanded. However, David proclaimed that he would never reach out his hand against the anointed of Jehovah.

Please reread Romans 11:11-29.
This applies to fleshy Israel.
The term "All Israel" in Romans 11:26 refers to all the Israel of God. It is no longer fleshly Israel in particular. It can include fleshly Israel if they accept Jehovah. But "all Israel" also refers to the Gentiles that come to Jehovah and his organization.
Paul makes this clear in Romans 2:28,29 where he says that no on is a Jew just because of his outward flesh. He is made a spiritual Israelite by Jehovah. Galatians 3:28,29 makes it even more crystal clear. There IS no Jew or Greek. We are all saved by Christ and are therefore Abrahams offspring.

It's cool! It's actually good to get some honest responses! That's what I was looking for. It's more of a "What do you say when a JW says..."
I'm not happy with alot of my arguments. I think I'll get better. But I think I've been pretty accurate as far as what your typical JW would say. I'd like my arguments to be a bit more solid. I'm happy with the quotes I came up with in regards to false prophecy.
We'll see how this goes. But no worries Finke! A couple other posters were getting mad at me too, thinking I was being sincere. I just had to laugh when wha happened refuesed to look at my PM that I sent him because he thought I was trying to "preach"!

This is sort of back firing. I think a lot of people are actually thinking that I'm a JW! How easy it is to ruin your name!

Aren’t there other religious organizations that feed the poor, help the weak and the sick that are actually doing the work that Jesus asked them to do?
Yes there are. But they are saving people for only a short time. These same people will eventually grow old and die. But what WE give them is life giving knowledge. While they may suffer for the present, they willl get their reward in paradise earth if they only accept Jehovah's salvation. We could choose to focus our efforts on helping the poor, but then we would not be able to spend the time we do in the Kingdom message which is of much greater importance. THIS is showing true love. If I could give you 5 years of life, would that be MORE or LESS loving than being able to give you eternal life?

Does anyone else think that CA has come here to count time ?
YES I AM!!! 2 hours and counting! I've gotta keep the hours up so I can continue to be used in the congregation. No one under 10 hours a month can be used for special privileges.

Regarding being the only religion bearing God’s true name:
1. There are other religions that incorporate Jehovah/Yahweh in their name. Are they also true?
2. The Isrealites were the original chosen people, and they have reclaimed Jerusalem and rebuilt their nation. Is that not a more likely restoration of Jehovah’s people?
3. “Jehovah” itself is a transliteration. The correct pronunciation is closer to “Yahweh”. Would God be pleased that his name is mispronounced?
4. Names come cheap. Living up to a name is harder. Saying one belongs to Yahweh, and actually living up to that name is a whole other matter.
1. Yes, there are other organizations that use the name Yahweh. I have yet to see an organization that bears the name of God as we know it today: Jehovah. However, even if there were they must show a composite sign of being the true religion. Do the organizations that bear gods name also preach door to door? Do all the organizations that bear gods name refuse to go to war or be involved with politics? Do these same organizations reject god dishonoring doctrines such as trinity, hell, and immortal soul?
2. No, Israel is not a restoration of God's people. They were rejected once they rejected the Messiah, Jesus Christ. After their rejection, Jehovah adopted the Gentiles as his people. Now the Jews and Gentiles were to be one brotherhood and function as the Israel of God. Fleshly Israel no longer has a purpose in Jehovah's eternal purpose. It is Jew and Gentile together that make up Jehovah's Witnesses, and not the fleshly nation of Israel that continues to reject Jesus as Jehovah's Messiah.
3. Jehovah is a transliteration. But it is the common usage of God's name. We don't use the pronunciation "Yeshua" in English either. We don't use the pronunciation of other Hebrew names found in the Bible. So why should we use Yahweh? God would not be pleased that his name has been removed from the scriptures. We make sure and follow Jesus command to let God's name be sanctified. Bible translators and other theologians try to cast doubt on God's name. But we, as Jehovah's Witnesses, make sure that this name will not be lost. We have restored God's name over 7000 times in the scriptures. Other Bible translators have removed the name and inserted "Lord" or "God" into the bible. That is not honoring Jesus command.
4. You are right. Proof is important. And Jehovah's Witnesses have shown themselves to be some of the most loving and moral people on earth. We hear about it all the time at our district conventions. "If only everyone was a Jehovah's Witness...there would be no more war!"
