  Sorry to say l was underwhelmed and won't bother watching it again. I should add that hubby quite enjoyed it .

  So have any of you had an experience of feeling disappointed by an experience that had been hyped up by other people? A film , book , play or song maybe .

  The Holy Spirit

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this was posted originally in the rodney dangerfield thread......

  i don't really know much about the trinity other than what i was told as a jw but it does seem to me that the holy ghost is definitely running a distant third in the popularity contest.

  when jws get into arguments with trinitarians, it's almost always about whether jesus is god, isn't it?

  I haven't come across JCannon before. He/ she is certainly an interesting character, to say the least.

  The early reference to Michael/ Jesus made me think that J was a Watchtower apologist. Then the post went in a direction that seemed to have no roots in any religion that l recognised.

  Christmas and the name jehovah

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the same reasons jw's reject christmas they use the name jehovah.. dec 25 is the recognized day to celebrate the birth of christ in the world.- we use jehovah because it is the recognized name of the father in the world.. it dishonors jesus because we don't know the actual date of jesus birth- even though we don't know the actual pronouncing of gods name it brings honor to god to use it.

  even though the angels rejoiced at the birth of jesus, no where in the bible does it say we should celebrate it.

  even though no where in the bible does it say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah, we proudly bear his name!.

  Jesus's brothers-apostates?

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this came to me today.

  at first jesus's own brothers didn't believe in him....thought he was crazy...can you imagine him shunning them for apostasy?

  i would think disbelieving in jesus would be far worse than disbelieving the gb.

  What hymns will you never hear sung in Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  for sure you will never hear the national anthem of heaven below.

  do you know others?.

  I don't know what kind of songs are sung in Kingdom Halls but l would think that this wouldn't be one of them.

  At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow , every tongue confess him King of Glory now , tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord , who from the beginning was the mighty Word .

  At his voice creation sprang at once to sight , all the Angel's faces, all the hosts of light , thrones and nominations. stars upon their way. all the heavenly orders. in their great array.

  There are a lot of verses but it's a lively tune so doesn't take long to sing.

  Verse 5 is definitely a no no

  All creation , name him , with love as strong as death ; but with awe and wonder. and with bated breath . He is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord , ever to be worshipped, trusted and adored

  Our First Christmas Tree

  by Queequeg in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  early on, after we left jw land, my wife said to me, “i hope you don’t care, but i don’t ever see myself doing any christmas stuff.

  i don’t really understand why some ex jws decide to do that crap.” we agreed that parties were a little different because of the social aspects, but other wise i didn’t care.

  now… there’s a 16’ douglas fir with ornaments and lights in our living room.
