  this is sad, tragic and stupid.... .

  a priest in eastern europe has been accused of drowning a baby boy as he baptised him.. police are investigating father valentin for accidential homicide after witnesses at the ceremony said the priest did not cover the baby's mouth during the ritual, the sun newspaper reports.. father valentin had denied being responsible for the baby's death during the baptism in moldova.. the six-week-old baby died on the way to hospital and an autopsy found he had drowned, the baby's dad dumitru gaidau told romania's publica tv.. mr gaidau, 36, said his son was clearly in distress during the ceremony.. "he couldn't inhale, his face turned blue and he was foaming at the mouth.

  he [the priest] said we should not interrupt this their ritual," he said.. "we couldn't believe it that he just put his hand over his belly and over the head and submerged him three times in the water.".

  Jehovah's Witnesses View of Jesus Compared to the Early Church

  the following is an extract from something i wrote 16 years ago soon after leaving the watchtower.

  i am posting it because it may help honest jws consider how far their beliefs are at odds with new testament christians.

  if they have "the truth" then their attitude to jesus ought to reflect that of the apostles.

  John 20:28 when Thomas said to Jesus, My Lord and My God, The Washtower wants you to think he is swearing, but just one of many examples where they have to ask you to remove your thinking cap. Jesus was Thomas,s God.

  That "invisible second coming/presence" thing is what catches most people with common sense to raise their internal flag, that this is like a timeshare presentation or something similar. You can make up anything if you say its invisible, such utter non sense, I'm surprised it has lasted this long past 1914. Imagine going to a doctor for the flu and he says his medicine is "invisible". You would leave and never come back if you had any sense.

  If you watch Trump,s speech and when he said we need more peace rather than war, you spoke up and brought up how much closer the Great Tribulation is than last year.

  Obviously you don't pay attention at assembly,s and at Kingdumb halls to say away from sites such as these, you might get sucked in, watch this Governing body message and take heed from his "Bible Based talk"

  It's right there in our faces, how could we NOT see it?

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know there have been many many posts on here over the years on the deity of jesus.. i am submitting this one because i am feeling a little confused.. the thing is, i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer and i know this.

  so when i am going through my bible reading (to all you haters, yes i still do it) i see so many scriptures that just fly in the face of everything the jws teach about jesus.. i begin to wonder if indeed i am diseased in the mind ,as they will try to paint me, because it seems so plain to me.. i never even gave it a though growing up as to if jesus and god were equal.

  i just didn't.. now when i read scriptures like philippians 9.... 9 for this very reason, god exalted him to a superior position+ and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,+ 10 so that in the name of jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground+— 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that jesus christ is lord+ to the glory of god the father.. .

  If you really want to look into this, get the inter linear copy and look up philipians 9:9 and actually see where they added the word "other" at least 4 times to utterly change the meaning. In the old NWT they used brackets with the word "other", but in the new one, "other' is used as if it had been there for 2000 years. Deceitful

  More evidence beards are being eased in . . .

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the june 2017 watchtower tells the experience of a bible student who was homeless and unkempt, but improved his appearance after being preached to.. peter began to change.

  he bathed, neatlytrimmed his beard, and put on the betterclothes that don offered him.

  peter continued to maintain a clean appearance.. so here we see that with a neatly trimmed beard the watchtower's writers view him as having "a clean appearance".

  How Old Was Eve When She Was Tempted?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has this question ever been answered by wt or biblical apologetic?.

  if near the beginning of her creation, would she not have had the effective development of a a toddler or even a baby?.

  if so, would you sentence a toddler or a baby to death for grabbing an appealing candy from a bowl?.

  Why don't they have a drama on this story? It might get more attendance than any memorial ever got.

  New Watchtower - Can You Look Beyond Outward Appearances?

  by ttdtt in

  2. bible

  how ironic that they have asked jws to not look past - tight pants - so called "affectations" - beards - long hair - short hair - and like 1000 other meaningless and trivial things.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-june-2017/can-you-look-beyond-outward-appearances/.

  Peter kept a diary. The early sections of his journal were dark and gloomy, but his more recent entries were different. One entry read: “I learned God’s name today. Now when I pray, I can pray to Jehovah. It’s wonderful to know his name. Don says that Jehovah can be my personal Friend, someone who always has time to listen to me, no matter when or what.” These stories are just that, just stories made up to fit the WT 6th grade mentality. No last name to find out if there was really a homeless person that kept a diary? Seems like in every article there is a made up story just to support a 6th grade point.
