  it-2 p. 1027 Spiritism - "And in the Christian Greek Scriptures the statement is made that those who practice spiritism “will not inherit God’s kingdom.” (Gal. 5:20, 21; Rev. 21:8) It, therefore, logically follows that any claimed communication with dead persons, if not a deliberate lie on the part of the claimant, must be from an evil source, a source that stands in opposition to Jehovah God."

  re chap. 20 p. 125 par. 17 - "This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today."

  it-2 p. 513 - This assists in identifying the “twenty-four elders”...These elders...therefore evidently represent the entire body of the “royal priesthood,” the 144,000.

  A chance for the unrighteous?

  by AlainAlam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the witnesses teach that the "unrighteous" are brought back to life in order to learn about god during the 1000-year reign.

  i don't think that's a bible teaching, for the following reason:.

  1) no verse says that.

  (John 5:28, 29) "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did* good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced* vile things to a resurrection of judgment."

  * Past tense - not future! Their own physical death hasn't wiped out their evil deeds.

  Capitalism at its absolute best! Supply & demand. The demand is supplied to those who are prepared to pay a premium.

  study watchtower, june 2020, box on page 22 - "note the comment made by an inactive one in spain: “i want to be reactivated, but it is very difficult.

  but it is not easy.

  i have to change my lifestyle and cut ties with some worldly friends.".

  Study Watchtower, June 2020, Box on Page 22 - "Note the comment made by an inactive one in Spain: “I want to be reactivated, but it is very difficult. I know what I have to do, and I want to do it. But it is not easy. I have to change my lifestyle and cut ties with some worldly friends."

  There you have it folks - you only have to abandon some of your worldly fiends friends!

  Study Watchtower, June 2020 Box on Page 26 - How to HelpThose Who Want to Return
  

  "Most inactive ones need close friends to give them support. Such friends must . . .

  be willing to keep in contact, even visiting them again and again.

  show them genuine love and assure them that Jehovah loves them and so do the brothers.

  be prepared to listen with empathy. Doing so involves understanding their challenges and avoiding a judgmental attitude."

  It slipped the Writing Committee's minds to remind JW's that of course disfellowshipped ones don't count!

  On Page 29, par. 16, a verifiable miracle occurs!
  

  16 Many experiences indicate that the angels are working alongside us to help us find inactive ones who yearn to return to Jehovah. For example, Silvio, from Ecuador, earnestly prayed for help to return to the congregation. While he was still praying, his doorbell rang. Two elders were at his door."

  What more proof do you mentally diseased inactive/disfellowshipped/apostates need?

  Oh, because the prayers of JW children who were being raped weren't answered, you think this is isn't true? Shame on you!

  I'm interested in discussing basic JW doctrines that you believe are unscriptural

  by AlainAlam in

  background info: although i'm an apostate, i don't hate jehovah's witnesses, or the organization itself.

  actually i find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased.

  i think most of them are amazing people, and i wish more non-witnesses were like them.

  Welcome to the forum Alain.

  My "wake-up call" was the JW dogma that Romans 6:7 refers to a person's physical death:

  Watchtower May 15th 1982, pp. 8,9 - "The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed."

  Bible Teach p. 214 par. 3 - "..the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died......Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak."

  The surrounding verses - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, & 11 overwhelmingly prove that Paul was describing how a sinner is figuratively dying - to their former way of life.

  Unwittingly, JW's are repudiating Matthew 26:28: "...for this means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins."

  They believe that ceasing to breathe wipes out a person's sins - no need for Christ.
