I wish they would arrest and torture some of the elders in my hall.
I don't even mean that as a joke.

at least seven of jehovah’s witnesses were subjected to torture—electric shocks, suffocation, and cruel beatings—on the first floor of the russian investigative committee’s building at ul.
ostrovskogo, d. 47, in surgut.

the jehovah's witnesses believe the title given to the lord jesus as 'firstborn' is in reference to himself being created.
however as we study the scriptures we can see that it has a greater meaning than being created..
Oh please please please explain to us the horrible consequences of leaving the evangelical church's since you are a double cult survivor.😱
I think the only reason you left the WTS is because you couldn't stand not being the biggest asshole in the room.

I was raised evangelical and I can assure you a one hour motivational speech on Sunday morning is nothing compared to the WTS. Also don't try and tell me some of these nutty fringe groups like potters house or westbourgh baptist church represent the evangelical church.
Kids dying over blood transfusions
Parents shunning there own children
Taking all the fun things out of childhood
boring boring assemblies
attacking higher education
just the shear bloody waste of time of it all.
Its really sad to see ex dubs are just as stupid as the ones still in.

a, I don't give a shit about religious dogma. The WTS destroys lives and families . Comparing it to evangelical the church isn't a fair comparison.
b. The trinity is based on the idea Jesus was the visible touchable manifestion of God or Lord in the old testament. Its not about proof texts. it's about having a basic understanding of the bible narrative.
It's sad when you can't see the forest because of all the trees in the way.

Comparing evangicals to Jehovah witnesses is idiotic. The WTS is a hell of a lot more dangerous.
really watchtower?
jephthah's daughter as an example of what a girl wants to be when she grows up??.
a burnt offering?!!.
It's just a reminder with the gender imbalance in the rank and file to not look for a mate off the reservation.
Just assume everything they teach has a cultish twist and you will be able to spot it right away.
just ran across this beautiful example of circular reasoning from the watchtower.w85 12/1 31. .
questions from readers.
was the apostle paul part of the christian governing body?.
Once I learned about the book of Acts, if there was any central " governing body " and that is a big if, it was located in Antioch Syria, not Jerusalem. The majority of Christians were ran out of Jerusalem after the feast of Pentecost by the Romans and Jewish authorities. The majority of first century Christians then moved to Antioch.
Paul travelled back to Jerusalem to correct incorrect doctrine, not join a club.
There is literally no words to describe how stupid the WTS is on this subject.
the is on page 4 of the 2014 yearbook.. a letter from the governing body.
how delighted we are to write you at the beginning of this momentous year!
by late 2014, a whole century will have passed since our beloved king jesus christ began ruling in the midst of his enemies.—ps.
I always kind of thought the WTS producing their own bible was kind of like a cigarette company building their own medical school.
jehovah's witnesses are presecuted in russia.
on par with the is and other terroristic groups.
it happened when the anti-extremism laws were extended to non-violent groups.. i don't believe that russia actually cares for the well-being of their citizens with this move and probably merely a law to stop other political forces (and the jws are one in a way, since their gather authority over large groups of people and also have their own political and judicial institutiona), but are they right about it anyway?.
Freedom of speech isn't freedom to yell fire in a crowded theatre. The WTS is built on insulting, annoying and slandering every other Christian denomination and destroying lives and families in the process.
In World war 2 Russia lost 20 million people defending the motherland and To have a group of people going door to door telling people it is immoral to defend the country because a group of men in America say so is really insulting.
Slippy slope ??? Yes.
Is Russia better for it. Oh hell yeah.
chapter seven.
there will be a resurrection.
17 who will be resurrected?
According to JW theology , won't it be better to not do anything ? Because you are basically just destroying people with your door to door service ?
If you never told them, they get a chance to live again ?
