  "the GB is Jehovah's appointed faithful and discreet slave"......big claims require big proof.
  
  When did this happen? How was it done? Was there a miracle?

  Not only are JW's false prophets but also the anti-christ! Here's why..

  by nowwhat? in

  when we think of "anti " we think being " against".

  but i read somewhere it actually means "in place of" or "substitute" and doesn't the organization think of itself as the only way of salvation, instead of jesus?

  they have also said jehovah is the means of salvation!

  What are some of the weird teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, past and present?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. bible

  i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.

  i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.

  The unique JW concept of "New Light" as opposed to old crusty light.

  Does anything about your religion trouble you as a Jehovah’s Witness or is it all good?

  "does anything about your religion trouble you as a jehovah’s witness or is it all good?

  do you remember the time when every watchtower article seemed like a boasting session?

  how great watchtower was.

  they we're the only one with holy spirit.

  The claim that Jehovah chose them as his representatives...is a myth. Big claims require big proof and they have none.

  Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

  by GoverningBody in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

  somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

  "bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

  Do we need to step out of religion and into Christ

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  i was just thinking?

  do we as people, who have been hurt by religion, need to refocus our position.

  do we need to step out of an organisation, to concentrate on a relationship .

  I left the Org in 1977.... and came to Christ. Actually read the Bible without the WT. I was surprised at what the Bible actually said. I now believe the exact opposite of all the WT teachings.

  Billions to die at Armageddon?

  by BoogerMan in

  not according to this verse:.

  (mark 3:28, 29) truly i say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.

  but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”.

  They have constructed a myth about end times. What they promise is a dystopia, run by the GB. No electricity ...gas...infrastructure oh my.

  Watchtower Dishonesty aka Theocratic Warfare

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to collect as many instances of watchtower dishonesty and pretense as possible.

  here is one from a bulgarian as an example of what i'm looking for.. are jehovah's witnesses disfellowshipped for receiving blood in a hospital?.

  helge fauskanger writes: "if witnesses can’t convince the elders that they are utterly “repentant” for this vampiric lapse of theirs, they will be held to have disassociated themselves from the religion — even if they never said a word about wanting to leave it!
