  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  Disillusioned JW

  Read every scripture that points to God being "more" than a singular being...vs the passages that would say otherwise. You will find that the previous greatly outnumber the latter. "God the Father" has a Son that has the samne nature he has...eternal.
  
  I have always found this often looked over scripture from the OT interesting.

  Gen 19:24

  24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

  "Lord" in this scripture is "Jehovah" both times.

  If the JWs were biblical...their name should have been "Jesus Witnesses".

  Do you think the Watchtower is right about about eternal punishment of the wicked?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  atheists believe death is the end of personal existence.

  but for those who believe there is life after death, what do you think is the nature of final punishment?

  in other words do you agree with the atheists and the watchtower society or is there eternal ongoing conscious punishment awaiting the wicked.

  Jesus has too much to say about the terrible fate awaiting those not his own.

  The senseless ''non partakers'' Jesus Memorial

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  matthew 26: 18-20 .

  18 he said: “go into the city to so-and-so and say to him, ‘the teacher says: “my appointed time is near; i will celebrate the passover with my disciples at your home.19 so the disciples did as jesus instructed them and prepared for the passover.20 when evening came, he was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.. only jesus and his 12 disciples were present at the passover .if jesus wanted observers, he would of had some sit down at his last meal and requested that they be present that day and future passovers.

  why does the wts feel that observers ( non partakers ) need to attend the yearly memorial?

  I knew that God existed...but I also knew that the BORG was clueless after 1975....I eventually (1982) gave my life to Christ and became a christian.

  Do Jehovah's really have true Bible studies?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  frequently asked questions.

  if i accept a bible study, will i be pressured to become one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

  jehovah’s witnesses love teaching people about the bible, but we never pressure anyone to join our religion.

  from today's daily wt text.. friday, december 31 2021.let your kingdom come.

  let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.​—matt.

  6:10. christendom generally does not teach the scriptural truth that one day obedient humans will live forever on earth.

  We are now around 25 years past the point when Armageddon was to arrive as PROMISED!

  absolute worst case scenario, the last of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would have died off would be in the mid to late 1990's!

  so we were told in the 1980's!

  so now we 3/4 of another generation past that!.

  Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

  how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

  i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

  The Watchtowers

  by BluesBrother in

  edit .. i messed up the title, on this touchscreen tablet and now i can’t edit it !

  the title should be “ the watchtower’s (sort of) apology for 1975 ….. sorry.

  january 1st 1976, i remember that day when i heard a radio disc jockey gleefully announce that the world had not ended as jehovah’s witnesses had said it would .
