  Jehovah`s Witnesses Religion based on First Century Christianity ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  who was the president of the first century christian congregation after jesus death , , the secretary ,the treasurer ,the field overseer ,the district overseer ,who were the lawyers protecting the congregations from secular authorities ,the mogul`s of real estate , buying up land and getting christians to build places of worship with free labor and then selling them off for a profit a few years down the track , with nothing going back to those who laboured on those projects .. where are the records on papyrus , that the 1st century witnesses counted their hours ,made return visits ,bible studies ,oops the bible wasnt even formulated then ,that didn`t occur until apostate christendom in the 3rd century came up with a number of books to be inspired ..

  In the fist century on their stone cobbled roads stood a Christian with his cart with writings from Paul and coloured pictures of Babylon falling, not approaching anyone . He hoped they would approach him so he could report his hours to Jerusalem for the monthly quota so he can qualify as a MS.

  now what was the deal with this one?

  my cong strictly enforced the facial hair unwritten rule.

  alot of bros starting growing soul patches, then the co cracked down on that too, no more, must be clean shaven, especially ms and elders.

  Just another rule for the sake of having a rule.JW love rules. My brother who is Catholic priest says JWs would make better Israelites than Christians due to their love of rules.

  This is a good home on this forum, mixed opinions and way less judgmental than org. Your very lucky you got out young but we all bare scares and bruises from the cult and we all compare our wounds, This site is therapy for most.

  the new understanding

  by heathen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi guys , i know i was never a favorite here and haven't posted in awhile ... question .

  what do you think of the new understanding of , " this generation " they seem to go in circles on this one big time , once 1914 generation was almost gone they said they didn't know what it meant and now in the new publication the generation includes the second generation after 1914 .... i agree they don't know what they are talking about and this is just another control move .

  any comments ?.

  They would of been better off forgetting the whole subject, instead like 1914 they persist with dribble and think everyone would be proud of the flickering light. If a publishers story changed so often during a JC they would be DF for lying. Imagine during JC you used the line new light. Just like King David it's good to be boss different set of rules.
