  JW Chrisians in name only-what do you think

  by enoughisenough in

  2. beliefs

  jw claim they are the true religion and they mention the love they have among themselves as proof.

  i have been watching a youtube creator who had some thoughts on the subject, bringing out jw were not really christian, based upon their actions.

  he made a pretty good case.

  Acts 2 verses 42-47 are interesting in many ways .

  Verse 45 says

  " they sold property and possessions to give to any who had need "

  So love and charity are much in evidence here among the early believers.

  Now most Christians today don't go that far but do support charities which are organised to help " those in need " worldwide.

  Most campaign for governments and councils to act fairly to people and provide support to those who need it

  Of course Witnesses are only allowed to donate money to the Org. for who knows what purpose.

  They aren't allowed to participate in "politics " so can't hold those in power to account

  Those verses also say that believers met together daily to break bread . Which would indicate that they celebrated the Lord's Supper . So the Org are wrong about that as well.

  God cannot lie

  2. bible

  the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

  .

  so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

  There are two deaths.

  Rev 2: 11 " Whoever has ears , let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches . The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death. "

  Rev 20 : 6 Blessed are they who share in the in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them , but they will be priests of God and Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years "

  Rev 20 ;14 " Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire . The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire "

  So Adam and Eve subjected themselves to the second death.

  Nicolaou l don't think that a doctor would say " your Mother will not die " because he / she would know differently.

  Or they would mean that she wouldn't die from that particular thing .

  Doctors usually say : your Mother can have many more years ahead of her " or something like .

  Your pretend conversation is contrived to support the point that you want to make

  i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.

  i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.

  amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.

  1Corinthians : 5 talks about how to deal with sinful Christians. However it means idolaters, adulterers, drunkards etc . People who habitually behave in such ways , not someone who slips and has a couple of sherrys too many then repents . Or someone who is tempted into a one night stand and repents .

  The WT goes way beyond Biblical teaching.

  DoC l didn't mean to give Teddnzo grief . I was just making the point that shunning is working. So many people stay in because of the fear of being shunned.

  God created perfect. However he gave mankind free will and ' sin ' came into the world.

  I think of it like someone who had devised a perfect computer programme and a jealous rival snook a bug in .

  Not a perfect analogy but it helps me

  Teddnzo , but those same good friends would drop you like a stone if you dissasociated. Is that true friendship. ? Yes l know that they do it out of ' love " but they won't care how much it hurts you or how your life goes after that. In fact if your life takes a downward turn it will be your own fault for leaving. Not because your friends are now ignoring you .

  So it's working you stay in out of fear.
