Did man really go to the moon?

by atomant in

l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.

smiddy3

In my research people who don`t believe man went to the moon ignorantly think it was a one off event oblivious to the fact that men went to to moon six times over a period of some years.

In fact 12 men walked on the moon during that time.

Think about this : Quite a number of nations are involved in Space and it`s exploration to name a few England ,France ,Russia ,China,India,Europe etc, do you honestly think they would keep quiet with their mouths shut if it was all a hoax ?

They would be the first ones to expose it as a hoax if it didn`t happen.

Annoying jws

by Jrjw in

a 'concerned' jw in my congregation rang me earlier and said she's noticed my daughter sits miserable at the meetings and said she's a right miserable girl in general.

i said she's happy and hyper when she's not at the meetings they're just really boring and she doesn't want to be there.

apparently i'm a bad parent coz she feels that way.

I`m sorry but I fail to understand how people like yourself put up with this sort of crap from people who have no business interfering in your lives.

You have put up with her for about 12 years ? are you kidding me ? GEEEEZZZZ

Tell her to fuck off and mind her own business.and to hell with the consequences.

What are you a mouse ? a doormat ?

Wake up to yourself. And stand up for yourself.

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here

by pale.emperor in

hi guys.

sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

smiddy3

Why does the name Jehovah appear in the NWT of the new Testament ,CG,S when the Tetragrammaton nor it`s greek equivalent does not appear in the Christian Greek Scriptures ? according to the KI published by the WTB&TS ?

Why are you witnesses of Jehovah when the Christian Greek Scriptures in over 30 references state that Christians are to be witnesses of Jesus Christ ? And not one scripture states specifically that Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah ?

Pacifism is Morally Indefensible

by cofty in

i have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.

in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.

of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.

smiddy3

The sober fact is the God Jehovah`s Witnesses worship was and is a God of War.

He sanctioned wars ,condoned them supported them and was compliant with them in pre-Christian times .

And according to the Christian section of the Bible he has not changed threatening to bring the War of all Wars upon mankind at Har ma geddon to slaughter Billions of people simply because Adam and Eve ate some fruit that he said don`t eat.thousands of years ago.

Jehovah supported wars in this system of things and his followers obeyed him to preserve their way of life .

Shouldn`t we do so also ?

Jehovah`s Witnesses around most of the world enjoy their freedom of religion today because of the sacrifice of millions of men and women who gave their lives in war so that they could enjoy this freedom to preach their message whether true or false.

They just died to give you the freedom to do so.

Resurrection to Heaven

by Lost in the fog in

ct russell said the dead would be resurrected to heaven from 1874-1881.. then the judge decided that it was not 1874/5 for the return of christ but 1914, so moving the heavenly resurrection forward to be from 1914-1918.. in truth nobody knows when it happens or happened.

just because the watchtower leadership says something in the printed word doesn't mean that it is true.

zion's watchtower 1881, january.

smiddy3

The title of Russell`s magazine was "Zions WatchTower And herald of Christs presence " first printed in 1879? until it was changed in the 1920`s ?

Russell was obviously a believer in the Zionist movement of his day {no longer believed by JW`s }

Russell also believed Christ presence began around 1874? {also no longer believed by JW`s}

Two major doctrines C.T.Russell taught for approximately 30-40 years until his death ,so why would Jesus Christ appoint the IBSA as they were known then as the Faithfull and Discreet Slave class in 1919 ? because they were then teaching false doctrines ?

Neither could they be classed as Faithfull nor could they be regarded as discreet for teaching such error over so long a time.

Anything else Russell taught such as the resurrection could also be discarded and thrown into the rubbish bin .

And for that matter anything the schism Jehovah`s Witnesses said could also be thrown in the rubbish bin as being built on a faulty foundation the International Bible Students Association .

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

by zophar in

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.

smiddy3

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

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;.

smiddy3

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 ?
