it's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.

i was almost 5 years old when these were released.

“1914 and you” — may 1, 1984 watchtower.

I feel for you. I was stuck in my head too. That's the thing about this cult.. how often things were repeated and drilled into our brains via rote learning complete with their magazine visuals to further cement your brain.

Then when it flops- it's not their fault. and shut up about it!

I recall many many years on the back of every Awake magazine reading the signature, CREATORS PROMISE!!

"Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away."

Touchofgrey,

Hi there. I dunno but this thread was abouta conversation with my JW sister and my JW father who died. The conversation was quite an eye opener for me as I had no idea Jws teach that our death is atoning.

Bart is clearly a big bang atheist now. Here is a quote from his blog:

When I say this world is all there is, I mean that there is nothing other than what resulted from the Big Bang.

I would prefer it didnt go off into an atheist discussion, but the ball is in your court as I am all for fee speech.I hope this thread has some value to someone. I hope you understand.

1963 Resolution Condemning the United Nations

by Sea Breeze in

quote from that world wide resolution: .

that, in order to prevent the destruction of the nations by their own means in war, the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to god’s messianic kingdom by setting up a society of nations, which, since 1945, has taken the form and the name of the united nations, with international headquarters at new york city.

this international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men.

Uhhh are you serious?

I have told you several times that the IBSA site links to sites who sell the publications. I even gave you 2 links as examples. I dont know what more you need from me. Seems I'm hitting your blindspot?

Now, as to who owns the IBSA cross and crown website--

Once again, here is the link from my orional post. read it, and then scroll down to under the map and see the TWO WEBSITES listed there together. ---> https://uia.org/s/or/en/1100017575

You want to tell me the WT has no control over that website? Fine, whatever........ :)

Funny how helping to sell apostate pubs seems to more important than the idea that they are still patrnering with the UN. I grew up with the red climax book.

There is NOTHING that I would put past these monsters.

I've already told you that they are owned BY the WATCHTOWER. They have links to sites who are selling the publications. While it may be legal due to copyright laws- it is certainly NOT ok for Jws to mix with apostates or is it? I dont know what it is that you are not comprehending.

Vanderhoven7,

Yes ok. As we see from the above WT quotes that is the teaching. Crazy huh? I suppose that SOMETHING had to be made up by the WT to teach about Ro 6:7 to the r &f since they deny them the gift of being born again. Once agin they seem to counting on the JW not ever reading this verse in context. How sad this is?

This is a no brainer

by oncebitten in

the insertion of jehovah into the nt is only understandable to me if there was an ot quote.

however by far the vast majority of the time this is not the case.

instead we see clear bias in the nwt.

oncebitten

One thing about the NT insertion of Jehovah is the J-notes. Very hypocritical bias using those!

tetragrammaton.org does a good job.

Hi Phizzy,

Yes, I agree. I know the arguments as well. But this one in particular takes prayer away from the Lord Jesus- when it's clear who the apostles prayed to is Him. Jesus chose his apostles. The WT couldnt handle prayer to Him although Jesus told them to pray to Him.

Same is true with Stephen- interlinear has invocation or prayer in the footnote

It is also clear that Jesus answered Paul's prayer in Acts 9:11 and gave him the vision of Ananias to regain his sight.

How many times do we need to see this before we realize Jesus is prayed to and answers prayers/ Once should be enough for us- otherwise it idolatrous. YET, we can clearly see it if we dont make excuses.

Also, in the WT interlinear they claim to be consistent with how they translate a word. NOT TRUE AT ALL! No wonder my family has been told not to use their own interlinear anymore. They were told it will cause confusion!

It amazes me how a Jw is taught to shun their Lord, Jesus. I remember shaking and being terrified when I first called on the name of Jesus ( it only says that a million times in the NT).. but I was taught it was awful! I prayed and asked Jehovah if it would be ok if I just talked with Jesus for one minute. hands were literally shaking. From then on I knew it was perfectly good and my fears were released ! We can have fellowship with the Father and the Son. 1 John
