  God hates liars

  by Lady Lee in

  2. beliefs

  quotes are from the 2005 wt cd red text is mine

  the wts claims to be the sole source of god's truth on earth today.

  truth is so important to them that they even use the term "truth" as a name for their teachings.

  Every J.W. knows your not lying if you are doing it to gain converts ( sheep like ones ) and to put off and confuse those who oppose us.

  Never mind that J.W.`s say that Satan is the father of the lie.

  Well I could go out on a limb here and say the illustrations of Jehovah sitting on a throne and with a beard ?

  Isn`t that ironic ?

  How were God’s true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.

  and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).

  in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.

  Spoils of war eh ? Virgins for the Victors

  And don`t forget that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son blah ,blah , blah,

  How did I ever believe in this nonsense for over 30 years

  Contradictions!

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  quite regularly at meetings jws mocked worldly people and apostates(anyone who had left the "truth") for saying the bible contradicts itself when it is in complete harmony from beginning to end apparently.

  can anyone point out some of the contradictions they know of?

  they used to laugh at the fact people on the doors would say the bible contradicts itself and when they asked the householder to show them where, they couldn't..

  Real Estate would be one of the more obvious and more public ones wouldn`t it ?

  How about selling off all of their real estate in New York that have netted them over a Billion dollars so far and they still have more property to sell their .

  What about all of the kingdom Halls that were built with free labour and in many cases free materials that when finished became the property not of the local congregations that built them but of the W.T.organization in N.Y.

  Whoopee do ! the G.B.of Jehovah`s Witnesses cancelled all of the loans that congregations had with them that had a time limit on the loans ,in other words could have been paid off in another six months -or even 2 years hence.

  And what did they ask in return ? What you were paying on your loan we would ask you to pledge that indefinitely as if you were paying off that loan ?

  In other words where they could have payed off that loan in x amount of months they are now paying that same some for eternity. ?

  And the congregations took a vote and agreed to it !

  And all that money from all around the world goes back to America.

  All contributions go back to America apart for a small percentage that is kept for necessary things maintenance etc.

  If that is not a scam then I don`t know what is.

  And that is just one avenue where they get their finances.

  Would I be correct Venus in saying you do not believe the Bible as Christians view it as the word of God ?

  or to put it another way

  You do not believe in the God of the Christian/Hebrew Bible ?

  If these assumptions above are correct what "God" do you believe in and can you elaborate for us ?

  I`m just curious as to where you stand about your God.

  However the fact is Simon that it is the same God of the Old Testament who is the God of the New Testament and as the Bible states that God does not change he is the same today as he was yesterday and will be the same again tomorrow .

  Its not a case of whether Christians today would ever carry out those acts , the religion of Christianity has reformed but nowhere is their any indication that God has changed his mind or reformed ,he has never suggested he disagrees with his former attitudes or statements or actions .

  According to Jesus he didn`t come to bring peace in the world he came to cause division.

  To seperate family`s fathers against sons,mothers against daughters etc,etc.

  And according to the book of Revelation God is still as bloodthirsty as he was in the Old Testament and Jesus is no better carrying out his will.
