Who Resurrected Jesus?

by snakeface in

one of the heresies of the wt is denying the divinity of christ.

during this "memorial season" they say that jehovah (god the father?

) resurrected jesus.

There are none canonized writings that state that Jesus did not die , was a shape shifter and fooled everyone. Theres even many scriptures that seams to attest to this as some Muslims will bring out. In one of the gospels Jesus is given Myr which can be used as a knock out drug. His legs were not broken and some claim that the scripture stating that he was pierced was added later. Also some claim that water and blood coming out if he was pierced shows he was still alive.

Then his body was taken by a friend and supposedly put into a tomb . Pilote and the Pharisees were not convinced he was dead after only three hours. Mary didn’t recognize him thought he was the gardener because of his shape shifting. In another gospel it looks as though Simon was substituted for him and it is he who was killed, more possible shape shifting.

Did Jesus really die?

Jehovah's Witnesses = Satan's Organization.

by Finkelstein in

after some close scrutiny of the jws religion in its history and its associated organization the ibsa.

we can see a lot problems particularly regarding truthful and accurate bible interpretations.. there are a lot reasons for that, one being that the original builders of the these organizations were not academically trained bible theologians, they got their bible teaching theology from other novices.. .

what they did acquire was something they thought would be advantageous for the proliferation of literature and maybe build up some their own self adoration in the process.. they gave public talks on how christ has returned via by dating the measurements of a pyramid in egypt and supported their findings by quoting certain scriptures in the bible.. well they succeeded, c russell grew fame and popularity by his talks and books which displayed his dating calculation.. jesus has returned and new world order was about to commence.

Let not forget that 7 of their earliest books including the one and only book printed by them from 1917 till 1920 during the time Jesus was to have inspected them and choose them as his earthly organization had on their cover the symbol of a Sun with wings which was the sign or symbol of none other then the Egyptian god AmunRa!

jw

what prompted this topic was a dream i had last night where i was engaged in a conversation i had with an old friend where i was trying to prove where the jw`s were wrong from their own bible.. and this is not the first time i have had such dreams.. often times i have had dreams about people i have known in the religion .. remember i have been away from the religion for more than 26 years now and in a totally different part of the country .. i now wonder if any of them ever dream about my wife and i ?

but that`s something i`ll never know.. do any of you have any such experiences ?.

maybe i`m spending too much time on this site lol.

Honestly no , I miss the friends I grew up with down the street that we’re not JWs.

They Want More Money!

by Atlantis in

those wanting a copy of this file.

https://docdro.id/fllorzffile example:4. circuit overseer assistance arrangement: in harmony with the announcement to the congregation, please arrange for a resolution to be put to the congregation, authorising payment from congregation funds equivalent to £4.50/€5.00 per congregation publisher for the 2019 service year.

if the body of elders believes the suggested amount would impose a hardship on the congregation, the resolved amount can be adjusted accordingly.. .

That’s a lot of money for just the CO. Wonder how many COs will get pissed when they figure out their not getting most of it.

Please help.... depressed jw teen

by huniepie in

i think i’m going insane.... i’m 17 years old and being raised in a jw household.

i really want friends and a boyfriend but i can’t have that because my parents are jw and i’m also homeschooled.

they are those jw parents that refuse to let me go to public school because of bad influences.

Crazyguy2

Plan your future and how your going to obtain it. When your old enough tell your parents that you want a good job so you have to work less hours so you can pioneer. In order to do this you’d like to take some college courses at a cumunity college. If that doesn’t work at least get a job then work your way forward to obtain your next goal. Set weekly monthly and yearly goals . Intime as you achieve your goals you’ll be able to get out and away and be able to have the freedom to persue what you want to do.

I think I made up my mind

by paradiseseeker in

a month ago i travelled alone to italy for three days and i had the opportunity to visit the beautiful florence and re-visit many parts of rome.. but most importantly, i had the opportunity to stay alone and think about my situation and to make up my mind.. i've had very clear for almost 5 years that i will eventually leave the religion, but i couldn't decide when.. but now i know : i will leave on april 20th, the day after the memorial.. that day i will talk to my parents (this is by far the hardest thing to do) and soon afterwards i will talk to my closest friends, then i will send my disassociation letter.

i know that i will let them down, i will hurt them, most probably some of them will cry... but i need to live coherently for the first time in my life.

i'm sure that living in this contradiction is affecting and will affect my mental health and it's time for me to help myself instead of others.

Crazyguy2

I would not DA instead just stop going , if you DA your parents and your friends will probably never talk to you again.

It doesn’t make Sense

by HappyBlessedFree in

so my husband and i had a long conversation last night about why i no longer believe.

this is our 10th conversation about all the same things which we have been talking about for the last four months.. he says “you have let yourself be deceived”.

i try my best to show him my sincerity in my motives.

Crazyguy2

Just ask him why a religion started by a guy that predicted Armageddon and then confirmed it by saying he measured the inside of a pyramid is God’s one and true religion??

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..

Crazyguy2

The Bible was changed time and time again to first promote Jesus as god then to promote him as part of the trinity. They even changed the Old Testament to imply this deity to be the coming messiah. The gospel of Mathew was written to help connect the dots between the messiah of the Old Testament to this new messiah Jesus. Unfortunately he made mistakes like Mathew 1:22 where by Jesus would be born of a Virgin and be called Emmanuel. Read Isaiah 7:14 and you’ll find the prophecy yet go back and read the whole chapter of 7 and you’ll see it has nothing to do with a coming messiah of the first century but of a child born during Ahaz time and what is to happen to Ahaz.

The subtle , yet massive change of Matt 5:32 in the "New" New World Translation

by stuckinarut2 in

so i noticed this change in the text of the new silver nwt compared to the older nwt at matthew 5:32. old nwt:.

"however, i say to you that everyone divorcing his wife , except on the grounds of fornication makes her a subject for adultery...etc" .

new nwt:.

Crazyguy2

Wasn’t the word fornication traced to a Roman word meaning prostitution. So if my understanding is correct fornicating would be visiting a prostitute.
