  Where Does Watchtower Doctrine Contradict Scripture?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here are some areas that i have found:.

  not only is watchtower eschatology offbase, which is not critical, but so is watchtower soteriology … which is critical.

  the bible says not to put trust in men who cannot save.

  Shunning and persecution

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws see shunning as a loving provision.

  but if a mennonite gal is shunned by her parents and friends for converting to jwism, would this be seen as a loving provision or as evidence of persecution?

  how about parents beating a daughter who converted to jehovah's witnesses?.

  Why believe in a god?

  by menrov in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you consider that the god they believe in:.

  - cannot be seen or heard and is only known in books written by writers we do not know nor do we have the original writings- does not listen to prayers from believers for security, safety, health, survival, protection, rescue, food etc- promises things that have not come true though had plenty of time to act on the promises- does not provide what you need to live- let's you suffer, struggle, work etc equal to non-believers, treated equally.

  ........ how does a believer look at his/her parents if they hide themselves, do not provide for you (shelter, food etc), make promises but never live up to these, does not provide what you need to live, treats you like anyone else but not as their child?

  2. beliefs

  .......do you still believe the organization's false teaching that romans 6:7 refer to a person's literal death?.

  watchtower may 15th 1982, pp.

  8,9 - "the bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed.".

  Is there really any universal issue of Sovereignty?

  by Linda14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can agree that satan doesn't see god as a good ruler as stated at gen 3:1-5. he doesn't seem to see gods laws as right or good.

  but whether there is an understanding/agreement between god and satan afterward to the effect that he can take the mantle of rulership to show whether his style is best is doubtful.

  that conclusion is probably reached because god hasn't destroyed satan, and he is also called the ruler of the world in the bible.
