the Quran and other islamic holy writings declared hate speech and banned
Don't leave out the Old Testament, it's full of hate speech.
the muslim council of britain and uk jewish organisations want the uk government to enshrine into law their perceptions of what kind of speech constitutes islamophobia or anti-semitism/hate crime.
should british christians follow suit?
in the movies & on tv we constantly hear actors shout out, "jesus christ.

i was talking with my sister and the subject of the wt using rahab as an exemplary example of theocratic warfare which is of course, lying.
when the wt uses her, they fail to highlight the fact that she was a temple prostitute and an unbeliever when she "saved" the spies.. i said you know, the wt doesn't use the most famous liar as an example.
that would be peter of course.
Lesson: Even in the face of death, always be honest.
Really? Perhaps someone should have told Isaac, "So Isaac stayed in Gerar. When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," because he was afraid to say, "She is my wife." He thought, "The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful."" (Gen 26:6-7)
jw.org is on collision course with russia.
the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.
jw.org needs enemy's to exist.
Don't bee too had on the Dubs, after all, as far as the bible is concerned 2000 years is "soon", so 140 years of saying "soon" is quite scriptural.
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet (Rom 16:20).
You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near (James 5:8).
The end of all things is near (1 Pet 4:7).
And as far as the OT is concerned, "soon" could mean over 3000 years.
where does one begin ?.
jehovah`s witnesses pride themselves as being a bible based religion ,that their beliefs and practices are all bible based ?.
words & phrases jehovah`s witnesses use or have used that are not in the bible.. organization.
In the truth
Not strictly true Sea Breeze, 2 John says it in verses 1 and 4. And 3 John says it in verse 3, 4 and 8. But then John's stuff always was a bit on the weird side.
regarding prophecies, i can’t name one thing jws have been correct about.
as a matter of fact nothing stands out to me that shows the witnesses have the truth..
If we’re just talking about prophecies, then the Watchtower
has never got a single one right. But they have got no end of them wrong, so even
by their own definition of a false prophet they fit the bill perfectly. If we’re
talking about doctrine, things are not so clear. Insofar as it can be said that
the bible teaches anything, I think, on balance they are probably right about hell,
the immortality of the soul, and quite a lot more of the more fanciful Catholic
doctrines like transubstantiation etc. There was quite a long thread on this
subject some time ago, although I’m sure it’s not the only one on this site.
i am not talking about the usual crap from the cult writings, but rather things idiots believed on their own.
maybe even helped on by the cult but not directly taught.
i knew an old man now long gone kunde in michigan.
Here's another, and there's thousands in similar vein.

So much of their dumb beliefs originate from old Watchtower literature like this;

I just started watching this, and half way through the door bell rang. Would you believe it? There stood a JW with a little leaflet in his hand. What are the chances? The last time they appeared at my door must be over two years ago. I missed the second half of the program talking to this guy. Needless to say, his idea of how sex abuse cases are handled within the org and how they actually are handled are quite different. Still I told him the reality of the situation, although I don't think he believed me, I was after all just repeating devil inspired propaganda.
some time ago i came across this quote claiming to be from a watchtower publication;.
1953 –“bible chronology also fixes the time for christ's second presence and the assuming of his right to rule as at 1914; this date was published in the watchtower as early as 1879, 35 years before 1914.” (tscp 3).
this is of course misleading, for while the date was indeed published in watchtowers from the very beginning, christ’s second presence and his becoming king were not assigned to that year until many years after (1933 and 1922 respectively, to be precise)..
Excellent, thanks a lot Earnest.

However, I
am having great difficulty tracking the source for this quote. Does anyone on this forum know what book/booklet/document
TSCP stands for? Presumably published in 1953.
