  Are You Sure I shouldn't read that Apostate Literature?

  by zophar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the time i was a young pioneer, i wondered why jw’s could not accept when a householder offered to exchange literature with us /me.

  i just couldn’t picture jesus being afraid of what another might argue.

  obviously, paul was familiar with other religions.

  All Christian literature that isn`t published by the Borg is considered apostate literature simply because Christendom itself is regarded as apostate and does not agree with WT/JW teachings.

  Funny thing though WT/JW accept the findings of the early apostate church as to what books should be included in the Bible and of course not wanting to align themselves with Catholics they sided with the protestant version.

  Another funny thing { to me anyway } is their acceptance of the name "Jehovah" for God a name that was invented by a Spanish Catholic monk of the 13th Century simply because it was in common usage by an organization they definetely view as Apostates ?

  On the one hand the claim Christendom hid the name of God Jehovah and on the other hand they claim it was the most familiar name in Christendom ?

  Which is it WT/JW ?

  The name Jehovah has been inscribed in stone on Churches throughout the world since the 13th Century.

  The WT printed a publication for the 1963 (I think) International Convention that had photo`s of Churches all around the world that either had the Tetragrammaton or the very name Jehovah inscribed in stone on centurys old buildings.

  Why did the Israelites need a 603,550 man army?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehober told the israelites at zechariah 4:6 .

  “this is the word of jehovah to ze·rub′ba·bel: ‘“not by a military force, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says jehovah of armies".

  why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;.

  Jehovah was the Almighty God of the Israelites yet in battle many still died ,why ? if God was backing them up ?

  And it never went down well with me that they had to hack men women and children to death with a sword .

  Even commit genocide.

  Can you imagine yourself doing that to another human being ? and not being affected by it ?

  And he Jehovah is described as a God of Love ?

  Intro

  hello all, many years i have been lurking on this site.

  gradually i’ve learned the real truth, gone from serving as a servant and at bethel to inactive for almost a year, barely ever wasting time going to meetings.

  my family is large and very active and so is my wife’s so leaving altogether is difficult.. though it seems now that everything is about to change.

  jc1985 Obviously lurking here for 10 years and posting a couple of times yourself you have made an informed decision to leave the JW`s

  I`m sad to hear your wife is prepared to leave you over a religious issue ?

  What does that say about the JW`s ?

  The one word that comes to my mind is

  CULT

  JW's on my front sidewalk

  so last weekend, the jw's ring the bell and my wife answers.

  we live in a heavily spanish neighborhood but don't really speak spanish.

  i thought my wife was quite clear that she is a "sister" to them, but maybe the one in charge of the group didn't get the message.

  North,East,West and South
