Who is The Lord?

by JW Answers in

the jehovah's witnesses believe that only the father is lord god, however by searching the scriptures we can identify that there are more than one person in the godhead, and the lord jesus as well as the holy spirit are lord.. for those who are interested in learning, feel free to watch this new video..

When I was attending meeting , I had no idea that the Tetragrammaton was being directly applied to Christ in the new testament , or there was a figure in the Old Testament called the word of the lord. All kind of weird shit. God talking to god. Eve n something like Paul using language are great god and father and lord and saviour Jesus Christ is loaded language to a Jew mirroring the shema. Oh Israel the lord is our god, the lord is one.

Is there a dead too rights christology in the bible ? ........no. But is there a narrative pointing in a single direction ? I believe so.

The really weird part is I have never met a jw that really has any concept of why Christians believe what they do, right or wrong. They couldn't make an arguement for or against the weird shit because it completely went over their heads.

Sadly not much has changed here.

Man I wish I knew how to quote here but to the poster who asked who that figure who spoke as god , for the invisible god in the Old Testament.

John 1 18.

Thats the part of the trinity that is pretty straight forward.

The great thing about this video is it going to set thousands of people free. Maybe they wont quit tomorrow but this has to flick a switch to the general stupidity of it all.

I think if you claim to speak for god almighty himself , you shouldn't drink alcohol at all. Given the fact all the bottles looked the same , they were not for a party, they were him alone and he is a fucking piss tank alcoholic.

Oh man I can't too show some uber elders and ask " is that really clean conduct in the Christian congregation." I might even show up for the memorial half pissed this year.

Military Service Debate

by Steel in

i got into a debate with a jw today about everything tonight and of course it all came back , we would never take up arms against each other , the mark of true christians, the two greatest commands blah blah blah.

i tried to make my case against it but he took a very simplistic approach.

a got home, did some research and found two new testament stories different about the great faith of roman centurians.

A got home, did some research and found two New Testament stories different about the great faith of Roman Centurians. One was Matthew 8 and Acts 10. I think.

It just seemed really weird that soldiers would be called " men of the lord" while all these idiot witnesses are rotting in prisons because they don't want to do a little jogging and play capture the flag.

Not saying the world isn't full of stupid wars that no one fight for any reason but it seems odd people are so willing to die over cherry picked texts.

Is my situation unique ?

by Steel in

so ubm here.

i have a jw wife who in 10 years of marriage i have never seen actually read the bible, never given a witness to me, never had a biblical discussion.

for a number of years now hardly even reads the magazines.

Steel

I have to spend three days in an assembly ( well I will sleeping in the car) while they trash higher education when my wife is putting 100 a paycheck in my son's collage fund .

It seems like such Bullshit we even have to go.

i have a jw wife who in 10 years of marriage I have never seen actually read the bible, never given a witness to me, never had a biblical discussion. For a number of years now hardly even reads the magazines. I pick her after meetings and ask her what she learned and she changes the subject.

I was raised in the church and without being very religous , I like to think I have some idea of the bible narrative. I have been told by witnesses they are impressed with my biblical knowledge level, yet they have no interest in talking to me about biblical matters once they find out I am not completely ignorant of bible theology.

Getting back to my wife. Every saturday morning, Sunday morning , Tuesday day, assembly and circuit overseer visit. It's s complete dog and pony show . Outside of the complete obedience to the governing body , my wife is an absolute fraud . It's just shocking how much time is wasted for nothing.

My question, how many witnesses live like this.

Is JW.Org the true religion?

by Maria Nieves in

jw.org states that they are the true religion.

i was told that it is written in the bible that jw.org is the true religion.

the following is the "alleged" evidence that was presented to me:.

Isaiah 43:10 "You are my witnesses," declares Jehovah, "Yes, my servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and have faith in me And understand that I am the same One ( I am he ). Before me no God was formed, And after me there has been none.

I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. (John 13:19,

The verse you quote in Isaiah actually says I AM HE like Jesus says in the new testament.

I have always found it odd they refer to themselves as Jehovah witness instead of just Christians. Just the fact they think of themselves as a complete different religion.

I grew up Pentecostal and we just thought of other churches as our fellow brothers in Christ , unless they were one of the cults.

As for the statement Jehovah and Jesus completely trust the slave, so should you ? Wow that is just disgusting . Just wow.
