  Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?

  by EverApostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.

  why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?

  there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

  As this previous post shows, Christians were to witness for Christ - not for "Jehovah."

  Watchtower and UK Government

  the fact that marc and cora have done amazing work in getting this talked about in the uk parliament soon is great news.

  seeing that watchtower came out on the broadcast and made it crystal clear they will never change.

  they really are going to look bad now.

  I feel that the org's televised statement which defiantly states they will not abolish the two-witness rule will have been passed on to the UK Charity Commission to consider. If the CC considers that such a stance does not meet with the criteria and expected standards for a charity, we could see the org being given an ultimatum - either drop your two-witness rule for paedophile accusations, or lose your charitable status. Guess what option they'll choose? Chilean flags in Kingdom Halls or monetary fines spring to mind!

  Satan in Heaven

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has always baffled me.

  that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.

  if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.

  Satan was the original apostate - and yet Jehovah & Jesus both continued to talk to him!

  Ask the trolley-brigade why J.W.'s ignore this Bible principle and refuse to discuss scriptures with ex-JW's.

  Welcome spacegirl443. So sorry to hear of your plight. (I'm a faded J.W. by the way)

  Without getting into all the scriptural rights & wrongs of Christmas, you and your husband need to have a very straightforward conversation about both of your equal rights in the marital home when it comes to beliefs/religion. Explain to him that you are willing to remove from the home everything connected with your form of Christianity, except your Bible, insisting that he does the same - no J.W. literature whatsoever allowed in the home, then wait for his "loving" response. This should tell you all you need to know about having children with a JW.

  Husbandly subjection is a big deal in La-La J.W.-land, so be prepared to defend your individual rights.

  I hope you can find a mutually agreeable solution.

  p.s. @ Morpheus; w60 12/1 p. 735 Questions From Readers

  Granting her freedom of worship may even mean letting her have a Christmas tree in one room of the house during that season, although the believing husband would not let other rooms of the house or its outside be decorated.

  ................for all their sinners - but make it mandatory that all J.W. alleged criminals are promptly reported to the relevant authorities. Problem solved. It's not rocket science.

  Expect to hear that r & f JW's begin to experience a serious public backlash for the perversions of their leadership.

  All Body of Elders in the UK – A Warning!

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  shortly after rising this morning (monday 20th november 2017), i checked the news on the bbc’s teletext service.

  in the uk (page 1010) the following had top billing…... “jehovah’s witnesses ‘covered up’ abuse”.

  “children who were sexually abused by jehovah’s witnesses were allegedly told by the organization not to report it.. victims from across the uk told the bbc they were routinely abused and that the religion’s own rules protected perpetrators.. one child abuse lawyer believes there could be thousands of victims across the country who have not come forward.. the organization said it did not ‘shield’ abusers and any suggestion of a cover-up was ‘absolutely false’.”.

  Maybe worth pointing out to the trolley-brigade sentinels that their cult's dogma gives Charles Manson a get-out-of jail-free card, just because he died.

  "What Does the Bible Really Teach?" p.214, par. 3; "..the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died. How do we know that? The Bible says: "He who has died has been acquitted from his sin." (Romans 6:7) Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak."

  Inside the JW HQ Warwick, NY

  by baldeagle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here is a short 2-minute video from fox 5 news reviewing the new jw hq in warwick, ny.. the first thing the jw spokesperson says is, “our primary purpose is not to convert, but to give people an opportunity to see what the bible has to say.”.

  next the reporter says, “the new world headquarters, which opened last year, is home to about 800 jehovah's witnesses.”.

  it seems to me that 800 is an extremely low number since the glory days in brooklyn.

  The faithful slave serpent speaks with forked tongue!

  “Our primary purpose is not to convert,".....

  "Our primary purpose is to........make disciples." (i.e. converts)
