Where Does Watchtower Doctrine Contradict Scripture?

by Vanderhoven7 in

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.

Person

Easy Prompt: I agree with you almost completely except for this sentence :

But there is no rule in the Bible that says you can't say "I know you are there, Jesus, and I love you."

That is for me a prayer and as you said prayer is form of worship so in my opinion you contradict yourself in that point.

Vanderhoven7:.

You're right, the account in the Acts says nothing about Stephen's second vision, but it also says nothing about his vision ending before he was led out of the city.

Calling upon the name of Jesus as far I'm concerned doesn't mean praying to Jesus

He spoke to Jesus because he saw him in a vision, just as for exampl Daniel and John, spoke to angels in their visions. What do you think about my first point?

Jesus taught to pray to his father. You say we should also pray to Jesus. So how I should decide to whom I will pray? Maybe take turns, one day to Jesus and the other to God?

Acts 7:56 clearly shows that this was a vision:

"And he said: “Look! I see the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.”

Easy Prompt what you say about UN is very interesting and I think you might be right. But I don't understand your stand about praying to Jesus. If we should pray to Jesus on which basis should I decide whether to pray to him or to his Father? Maybe it doesn't matter? If so, then that hole disscusion about praying to Jesus is pointless. That is one point. Second is: There is not a single case in the Bible where someone actually prayed to Jesus. You mentioned cases when someone talked to Jesus all of which where in vision. That is not a prayer. What you think?

JW current stance on Vaccines?

by lcarter017 in

it came to my attention that the covid-19 vaccine works by editing the genetic code of the mitochondrial dna, using gene therapy.. you should seriously question the moral implications of allowing a part of your dna to be modified.

does anyone have any concerns about this?if anyone has any questions, i can do my best to explain.

i personally find it very suspicious how they chose to word it, and conveniently inform us of this fact "after" people have taken the vaccine..

Person

"However I'd imagine some (like me) did without knowing the full implications"

I didn't took the jab specifically because I didn't knew the full implications and frankly nobody on earth knew, even those scientists who worked on this. There was not enough time for proper testing, how could you ignore that?

Justification

by Sea Breeze in

the..."other sheep...are...not even justified".

- wt 1938 pg.

jw's are internationally famous for rejecting the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" (mt.

Person

"In the years that followed, the path of the righteous ones continued to get brighter and brighter. In 1985 light was shed upon what it means to be declared righteous “for life” and righteous as a friend of God. (Romans 5:18; James 2:23)"

Still no U turn on vax mandates for all schools

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

you still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.

elders and ministerial servants have their kingdom ministry school every year, the cobe of every congregation has to check that everyone is fully vaccinated.

after the school everyone will ask any bothers who were not there why not?

Person

"This dude is a troll from way back" That would explain a lot.

ExBethelitenowPIMA you are very upset about GB pushing vax and rightly so, but at the same time being an elder you are still very strong supportive to them, so you are partly responsible for their doings. Can't you see that?

Read John 10 1-13 and ask yourself: do I really want to be the "hired man" who exposes sheep to the wolves?

Why not stay physically in at least a little for all the benefits?

Maybe some people just do not want to support corrupt greedy liars even though it involves some losses? Maybe for some people being honest in life is more important than some benefits? And the Bible is still available for everyone. You don't have to support any human organization to read it and to use this knowledge in your life.

Is Bible chronology true?

by Fisherman in

according to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.

since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.

what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.

Person

Mowgliandbalu every dating method is inaccurate

Thermoluminescence dating also.

Quote from Wikipedia about this method :

The flux of ionizing radiation—both from cosmic radiation and from natural radioactivity—excites electrons from atoms in the crystal lattice into the conduction band where they can move freely. Most excited electrons will soon recombine with lattice ions, but some will be trapped, storing part of the energy of the radiation in the form of trapped electric charge (Figure 1).

The question is: how on earth can you know how strong the flux of ionizing radiation was at any given time in the past ? It is simply impossible. That's why I belive that hole dating thing is more like divination then science.
