  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.

  Easy Prompt I agree with you 100%. I find Haggai 2:7 and Ezekiel 34 (almost the entire chapter) very encouraging in this respect. And all this, of course, will be through our Lord Jesus. So thank for reminding me of this

  Why is prayer an act of worship? Because it requires you to believe that the person you are addressing exists, can hear you and has power to help you. It requires FAITH. For this reason, there is no such thing as prayer to a living man, even if he is far from us. For the same reason talking to Jesus IS in my opinion always a prayer except you see him in a vision which I think doesn't happen in our days. But I don't want to argue with you, I pray to God for those who love him and his Son Jesus🙂

  "Instead, you ignore him and direct all your appeals to the baliff or maybe to the court reporter, or someone else."

  Considering your court example it seems to me that you are comparing the supreme God to baliff or a reporter... Comparing Jesus to court judge I would compare his Father to a Supreme Judge. See Psalm 94:2

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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..

  "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?

  "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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?
