The WT puts an odd spin on many Biblical passages to suit their own mind control practices. Follow Scripture , not men . Also read a Bible other than the WT Bible .

so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

literal meaning: bury yourself.

"go and bury yourself".

What are the maim lies Apostates tell about Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Vanderhoven7 in

main not maim.

picked this answer up on quora.

please add other apostate "lies" you are aware of.. "jehovah's witnesses cannot refute the facts in the so-called “ lies” against them, and when they do, they shamelessly lie and tell half-truths to defend their mind-controlling sect.. their new york based leaders tell them that anything negative said about their sect is a “ lie “ from “ mentally diseased, bitter apostates”.. jws are yet to come to terms with the fact that we are in the information age and they can no longer get away with lying to protect their organisation.. for example, one of the “ lies “ told about them is that they shun anyone who leaves the cult , including family members, including their own children.. another “ lie “ is that jws are ready to allow their children to die rather than accept a life-saving blood transfusion.. the child sex abuse coverup in the cult is also said to be a “lie “.

So I've just had a phone call from a local JW named John who wanted to enquire how my family had been coping over the last few months . !!

I explained , politely, that l knew enough about the WT to make me sure that l would never want to join . Interestingly he didn't go into that. He thanked me for being honest , l wished him a Happy New Year and that was it .

by Terry in

jw

tricky words .

perfectly good words go unused in writing and speaking.

their meaning isn't clear and the eye is 'tricked' by similarity to other words or sounds.. .

There is no heavenly calling, it is a wishful thinking of JWs

by Abraham1 in

then jesus said to his disciples: “truly i say to you that it will be difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens.

again i say to you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god.” (mathew 19:23, 24, https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/19/) for jesus both “kingdom of heaven and kingdom of god” are interchangeable—they are one and the same.

when earth comes again under god’s rulership, earth becomes a “kingdom of heaven.” (mathew 5:3, 5) “those poor in spirit” are defined as those having no self-importance or egoless (mathew 16:24) and “the meek” too are egoless.

Sorry , not looked on here for a while

. I understand . So could you be part of another church group then? There must be one with a Theology that is closer to yours. Or are you tied in by family?
