  At what point is someone meeting this criteria. For example, if I share with my JW friend that I disagree with a certain stance, is that apostasy? I would think not, since I have known Elders that voiced their disagreement with certain doctrines (e.g. shunning).

  broadcast by colorado public tv.

  this speaks volumes about how blatantly our government lies to us.

  if this is true, and it really does appear that it is, how can we trust government to tell us the truth about anything?sorry, you'll have to copy and paste to your search bar.... http://video.cpt12.org/video/2270078138.

  Question: What are the "additives" that jwfacts is speaking of?

  can anyone please provide a scan of the following reference?.

  vertroosting (consolation), september 1945 p. 29, "wanneer wij ons leven verliezen, doordat wij weigeren, inspuitingen te laten maken, dient zulks niet tot een getuigenis ter rechtvaardiging van jehova's naam.

  god heeft nooit bepalingen uitgevaardigd die het gebruik van medicijnen, inspuitingen of bloedtransfusie verbiedt.

  And, can anyone give me the reference from approximately 2 years ago where the WT was trying to explain why the majority of the annointed are NOT having a share in distributing "spiritual food" via WT publications?

  Hi all,

  I was trying to find a WT publication that specifically addresses why John 3:16 is translated "exercise faith" in the NWT. I have searched the WT CDROM, but cannot find anything. Can anyone please give me the WT references that address why John 3:16 is translated this way?

  I noticed that the Amplified Bible says:
  
  16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

  The Vatican New World Order

  by Infowarrior in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  we know that the watchtower claims to be seeking accurate truth regarding biblical propheicies regarding the last days and the willd beast and the "world that is laying in the power of the wicked one".. the watchtower inisists it is the faithful and discreet slave who is providing needed spiritual food at the proper time.

  however on close examination, is this really the case ?

  or is the watchtower, like all other western corporate organizations in the modern western world, simply distracting, subverting, and hiding the truth from thier christian sheep ?.

  Perhaps Mr. Wade frequents this site. Why would my inbox be cleared within 1.5-2 hours?
