Your accepting trinity does not make you have more of the three itemized than the fellow who don't accept the trinity belief and vice versa. If otherwise give your concrete explanation.
It is a shame after thousands of years of arguing trinity that refuses to die is still being a controversial discussion. There is more in being a Christian than trinity.
i have known a jehovah’s witness for approximately 15 years and i have considered her a friend although i know that jehovah’s witnesses cannot have friends who are not jehovah’s witnesses.
approximately two years ago, i was going through a very difficult time and i asked my friend if we could have bible study.
she said yes and we have been studying the bible since.
In simple terms, Jehovah's witnesses conduct Bible studies to make those persons eventually become Jehovah's witnesses. If you declare that you want Bible studies with Jehovah's witnesses from day 1 but added the clause that you will never join their membership. Such Bible study is dead on arrival. They won't come or waste their time studying the Bible with you.
i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

Trying to provide a rebuttal against Ray Franz books. It was a bridge too far or mission impossible. 2 - 3 years later, disassociated.
i am writing to ask if anyone cares to share their experience and/or offer advice for people leaving.
i was raised in the religion, and both my parents died when i was very young.
i recently stopped associating because my conscience no longer allows me to preach or support the organization.
The book In search of Christian freedom is one you should read especially the concluding part applies to your moving on and forward.
Ray Franz got very good explanation as to how to use your freedom while free. Keep your mental balance as to how you sway to right or left. Watchtower has made thousands of decisions for you. It is your time to make those decisions yourself using your freedom doing the hard work of making those decisions and facing the consequences.
with the statement in the study watchtower this sunday, that stop serving jehovah is a serious sin, the following:.
- can i conclude now, that we, (i, wife and 2 children), since 2008 pomo and no longer active in any religious activity, are serious sinners for jehovahs witnesses?.
writing this in a watchtower, a statement like that, could have big implications.. it makes me so sad.
That fear of man got me laughing 😂🤣😂🤣😂
The of fear of Governing Body members is not fear of man. Dumb writers
a change to their doctrine came from jackson.
this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.
but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.
Speculation, assumptions filled religious organisation
https://youtu.be/rjr0ugtu6zu?si=d3zsz20ee33gytxi.
these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.
these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.
Jehovah’s organization indeed what load of lies and manipulations filled religious organisation we know is a business corporation
news on the person you call (atlantis!).
(before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.
he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.
Good one thanks for the update
the wts often uses the phrase about then follows with their idea of what their god meant.
i have p0sted some of the most recent.
it is worth a look at more.
The lying Jehovah’s organization manipulating people with words 😂🤣 and redefining terms to fit their lies and manipulations
thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.
1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.
not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.
Jehovah's Witnesses pride themselves in their neutrality doctrine but don't know the consequences of James 4:17 as captured in their commentary books on James......
17 Therefore, if one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him
This statement by James is evidently a conclusion to what he has just said about self-assumption and vain boasting, neglecting our complete dependence upon God. Jehovah requires humility and the acknowledgment of him as the source of life and all good things; and we must recognize that ..we can accomplish nothing lasting without his favor and help. If a Christian knows this and does not act accordingly, it is a sin to him. But James' words can have broader application. Many are the parables and statements in God's Word that emphasize the seriousness of sins of omission. (Luke 12:47, 48) In Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats, the goats are condemned, not for any specific bad, illegal or immoral thing that they did, but for not helping Christ's brothers when they had opportunity. (Matt. 25:41-46; compare 1 John 3:15-17; Proverbs 3:27, 28.) The Wicked slave in the parable of the talents is not accused of doing anything forbidden, but of not using the talent committed to him as he should have done. He merely buried it and returned it without gain to his master. He did not use it for the purpose for which it was committed to him.(Matt. 25:24-27) In the illustration about the rich manman and Lazarus, the rich man is not charged with specifically doing something unlawful. Rather, he failed to use his riches in the right way.(Luke 16:19-21, 25)Close self-examination is required on the part of all Christians, for it is sometimes easier to avoid doing something that we should not do than it is to exert ourselves and do the things that we know we should do.
Again.......
Close self-examination is required on the part of all Christians, for it is sometimes easier to avoid doing something that we should not do than it is to exert ourselves and do the things that we know we should do.
Jehovah's witnesses like folding arms and claim to sit on the fence in cases where they are supposed to exert themselves and do things they know they should do but since their gods of men have decided to regiment their consciousness and conscience they sit idle.
