  JWs vs. Baha'i

  founded in the mid-nineteenth century, the bahai faith has spread to some 232 nations and territories and is now accepted by more than five million people.. the word bahai means follower of bahaullah.

  his name in arabic means the glory of god.

  his followers believe that bahaullah's writings are an expression of the holy spirit and are the word of god.

  just a thought on how the zealous witness would overcome the situation?

  would they open homes for bible study?

  or take the wait and see what happens next way out.

  3 Gods Equal 1 God?

  by 7robert7 in

  2. friends

  as i sat back thinking of some of the discussions i've had with witnesses over the years, one always stands out.

  the issue of the trinity teaching, whereby father(jehovah), son(jesus), and holy spirit when combined equal one god.

  a witness friend from work once said that it was an impossability, and was beyond human understanding.. i asked him what he thought we believed about the trinity, to which he responded with a math lesson.. 1 jehovah god + 1 jesus god + 1 holy spirit god = 3 gods, he went on to state that 1 + 1 + 1 can never equal 1 god, it always equals 3. to which i added a little math lesson i learned as a child.. 1 jehovah god x 1 jesus god x 1 holy spirit god can equal 1 almighty god.

  The trinity is a God-dishonoring doctrine!

  Can you imagine if there were two (or more) groups, each of which was publishing their own WT magazine? It wouldn't last for more than a few issues before the charges of apostasy flew fast and furious among the different groups.

  It could happen, although the WtBTS has a registered trademaek on "The Watchtower, Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom" They don't have a trademark on "The Watchtower" "Watchtower" or "Watch Tower."

  In fact during the time that C.T. Russell published the Watch Tower, the Advent Christian Church, which he affiliated with prior to forming the IBSa published a journal called "The Watch Tower". The two journals were published at the same time. Despite Russell's 'Tower being published first.

  In Europe, there is a group of Witnesses who left the Society, they number in the 100,000s, and also go by the name "Jehovah's WItnesses." They look, act and are organize like the Society, inly they are independent of the Society, believing that the Society has apostasized. Funny is, that just like the Socioety has all those resolutions condemning the Churches, they too have a resolution, only condemning the Society! LOl

  They hae a website somewhere, if I find it, I'll post it!

  Not true Skimmer, why do you think the Society reorganized? The Watchtower Society of PA and NY are merely publishng houses, however the newly formed 'Christian Congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses' is the actual organizer of the JW world and they are the ones that interact between the various congregations.

  So Brooklyn disappears, the Watchtower blows up, the JW's are stil organized!

  I'm just waiting for the day when all these corporations decide to claim independence from one another, then they will have a mess!

  Thirty Years a Watch Tower Slave

  by JAVA in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps the first widely distributed book written by a former witness about the watchtower society is, thirty years a watch tower slave by william j. schnell, baker book house, grand rapids, mi, 1956. its been out of print for several years, and very few libraries still have the book.

  schnell was born in 1905, and was part of the watchtower movement from 1921 to 1954. .

  in part, the foreword reads: by the lords grace i am a christian.

  To those interested, an abridge version of the book can still be found in some Christian book stores, I know I picked one up a few years ago, and I was able to pick up a first addition for 10 bucks on ebay, I haven't read it to compare with the small abridged version, some day I will.

  You can order the abridged edition from Religion Analysis Service, Inc. [www.ras.org]

  Here is the blurp on the book:

  30 Years a Watchtower Slave by William J. Schnell.

  Abridged edition of the shocking confession of a converted Jehovah's Witness. It is truly one of the most significant confession books of this generation. 192pp

  JW-39 $5.95

  And a direct link: http://www.ras.org/catalog/jw.htm

  this is my first post on this site... i will post more details of my story later.. my spouse has obtained an unscriptural divorce.

  does anyone know where that leaves me as to my being free to remarry?.

  i noticed the following in the elders manual, the wording seems to contradict itself.

  Bubba, forget the Society, stick with the scriptures, you still believe in them. The divorce was unscriptural, in the eyes of God, ytou are still married, however, if your spouse has remarried, or if you know she is sexually active, then she has committed the adultery, and you are free to remarry!

  "closed their doors"? How about if they just opened their windows? Come to think of it, KH don't have windows, right?
