  "Jehovah" In The New Testament.

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i see they have updated their list of translations or versions where some form of yhwh or jhvh appears in the new testament.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/appendix-c/divine-name-new-testament-2/.

  In the old testament you have an invisible god named Yahweh but you have divine manifestations of Yahweh ( the angel of the lord, word of the lord, wisdom of the lord etc etc ). It is not entirely clear who is what and what is who.

  The new testament is the authors realizing that this manifestation was Jesus. The ambiguous use of the tetragrammation in the new testament is by design, not corruption.

  Calling the tetragrammation Jehovah and adding it to the new testament is trying to clear up the ambiguity and it is just not correct. It is a mess and a mess by design.

  To All Those Keen To Tell Us About Their Beliefs

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.

  they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?

  ) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.

  I have known the WTS is a horrible family destroying, soul sucking cult since I was about 12 years old but I have always held out some hope that there was hope in evangelical Christianity or at least they were less harmful if looking for a club or some friends are what not.

  This last three years with covid has just ruined that for me. I guess going to church now means you a resident expert on vaccines, the Ukraine etc etc. All religion is built on ridiculous narcissism.

  It is all so gross to me.

  So get this.

  1. Take all cause Morality over the past three years. Anyone who has died of anything.
  

  2. Divide it into the vaxxed and unvaxxed.

  3. Further separate into age groups. ( it is no secret an unvaxxed 20 year old has a better chance than a vaxxed 80 year old. )

  4. Take the data and then adjust into cases per 100,000.

  What are you going to find ?
  

  You fucking idiots are embarrassing.

  Why did you leave the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  i've never been a witness so i never left.

  graeme hammond writes:.

  for some years i’d had a growing irritation and disillusionment with the religion: i was getting tired of the pompousness, the arrogance and the control, i felt increasingly choked by their restrictions and i was drained by their demands on my time.

  I begin to realize the entire religion was eschatology based nonsense which basically voided the new testament for anyone but the Governing Body.

  Once I understood the new testament is the story of Jew to Gentile or body of Christ, Not earthly hopers and heavenly hopers, it was all over for me.

  I mentioned this to my wife about Tony getting kicked out and she accused me of spreading " Fake News ".

  She really didn't know he was removed.

  I wonder how many JWs are in this boat ?

  Just scary.

  I have real doctors in my family, not Internet Doctors. All cause morality adjusted for cases per 100,000 is still proving the unvaccinated are still dying at rate higher than the vaccinated, thus proofing that excess deaths are not vaccine related.

  I am sorry this isn't complex and twisted enough for you.

  Have fun in cuckoo bananas land where you believe you are a cross between James Bond and Fox Mulder.

  Is Wokeness a Religion

  this is long so i'll just post a link, i think many here will agree with a lot of what the author has to say.

  it certainly resonated with my thinking of the last few years.

  About ten years ago I went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert and went to the Merch table and wanted to buy a T-Shirt with a confederate flag on it and they didn't have any ( I use to be a lot more right leaning) . I went home later and did some research and got rid of it years ago. Some African American fans said they found the symbol hurtful and they got rid of it. So did Tom Petty. No big deal.

  Also about five years ago Gun and Roses made a collective decision to get rid of the song " One in a Million " from the Lies EP. The " immigrants and faggots, make so sense to me, come to our country and do what they please, start some mini Iran or spread some fucking disease, they talk so many god dam ways, its all Greek to me " .

  Axle, Duff and Slash said they wrote it when they were young and knew everything. Looking back it was just rude.

  I am not really sure what Woke means but I am not entirely sure it is such a bad thing. Things change, times change.

  The Gentile Times Reconsidered (607 B.C.E.) -Part A1 - Jeremiah 25:10-12 Reviewed

  during the last three to four months, i have spent a great deal of time sinking my teeth into various critical biblical commentaries and lexicons.

  naturally, after beginning to research "the truth about the truth" one of the most commonplace yet controversial arguments revolve around the "gentile times" doctrine (i.e.

  the application of the seven times of daniel 4 from 607 b.c.e.

  After learning what the Watchtower taught prior to 1914, i have generally thought this was a rather pointless rabbit hole to go down.

  I don’t think to read hundreds of pages and devote hundreds of hours to know they are lying.
