That conjunction between Jupiter and Venus occurred on June 30th it is not tonight July 3rd.

Didn't that blood moon appear again a few days ago too? I thought these were "signs" ??

The blood moon did not appear a few days ago it appeared back in April on the memorial and the next blood moon will appear on Sept 27th.

There was something very interesting about the April blood moon thou…

Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour (3PM Jerusalem time—Eastern Time, 8AM) Jesus called out with a loud voice: “E´li, E´li, la´ma sa·bach·tha´ni?” which means, when translated: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”37…Jesus let out a loud cry and expired.

I also noticed that the sayings of Jesus were referred to as Jehovah saying it. I guess they do believe in the trinity.

Ezekiel 34:11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am, I myself, and I will search for my sheep and care for them. 12 According to the care of one feeding his drove in the day of his coming to be in the midst of his sheep that have been spread abroad, that is the way that I shall care for my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all the places to which they have been scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom.

That noted, PLEASE read the context in regards to those scriptures. Also if you would PLEASE read Ezekiel 13:1-16.

Ezekiel 34:1 And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you must say to them, to the shepherds, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who have become feeders of themselves! Is it not the flock that the shepherds ought to feed? 3 The fat is what YOU eat, and with the wool YOU clothe your own selves. The plump animal is what YOU slaughter. The flock itself YOU do not feed. 4 The sickened ones YOU have not strengthened, and the ailing one YOU have not healed, and the broken one YOU have not bandaged, and the dispersed one YOU have not brought back, and the lost one YOU have not sought to find, but with harshness YOU have had them in subjection, even with tyranny. 5 And they were gradually scattered because of there being no shepherd, so that they became food for every wild beast of the field, and they continued to be scattered. 6 My sheep kept straying on all the mountains and on every high hill; and on all the surface of the earth my sheep were scattered, with no one making a search and with no one seeking to find. 7 “‘“Therefore, YOU shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah, 8 ‘“As I am alive,” is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “surely for the reason that my sheep became something for plunder and my sheep continued to be food for every wild beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my sheep, but the shepherds kept feeding themselves, and my own sheep they did not feed,”’ 9 therefore, YOU shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah. 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Here I am against the shepherds, and I shall certainly ask back my sheep from their hand and make them cease from feeding [my] sheep, and the shepherds will no longer feed themselves; and I will deliver my sheep out of their mouth, and they will not become food for them.’” 11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am, I myself, and I will search for my sheep and care for them. 12 According to the care of one feeding his drove in the day of his coming to be in the midst of his sheep that have been spread abroad, that is the way that I shall care for my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all the places to which they have been scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and collect them together from the lands and bring them in onto their soil and feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streambeds and by all the dwelling places of the land. 14 In a good pasturage I shall feed them, and on Israel’s high mountains their abiding place will come to be. There they will lie down in a good abiding place, and on a fat pasturage they will feed upon the mountains of Israel.” 15 “‘“I myself shall feed my sheep, and I myself shall make them lie down,” is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. 16 “The lost one I shall search for, and the dispersed one I shall bring back, and the broken one I shall bandage and the ailing one I shall strengthen, but the fat one and the strong one I shall annihilate. I shall feed that one with judgment.”

Governing Body

by Daym123 in

hello,.

i am currently in a discussion with a jw about the governing body.. i have read alot of articles regarding it, however whenever i bring up what i have read, i am refuted with scripture, such as acts 15, where they say there was a governing body, who sent out elders and men etc.. does anyone have a website that i may not know of, that has answers to what they refute with?

or any help here or good thought provoking questions to respond with would be much appreciated.. thank you kindly.

johnamos

I don’t see the point in trying to prove that there was or was not a GB back in the 1st century…is it just to say the there is no need for one today??? That is just like saying there is no need for companies to have CEO’s and managers, etc…

The only thing that needs to be disproved or at least called into question is rather or not the current teachings/beliefs coming from GB are correct or not.

On the following site you can find many questions that you can ask that will put those trying to answer in a catch-22…the questions bring out the truth and exposes the errors, or in the case of the WTS/GB, flat out intentional lies.

This clip (the original one) and the one that he is speaking about tight pants should be sent to some gay activist group and let them make national news about it. If someone can put the two unedited versions on here and research what would be the best group to send it to, then everyone on here should all send the same email to the group in hopes that they (gays) will make a fuss stating they are offended. Maybe even send it to Ellen Degeneres show and Jimmy Kimmel show. (Jimmy is not gay but he does a good job of making fun of people that are homophobic)

Gods name

by Mr.logic in

jw

what is the correct spelling of gods proper name"yahweh or jehovah"?

if the jw's maintain that yahweh is more proper, why do they misspell it "jehovah"?

if the name of god is so important, then you should not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too.

johnamos

I kind of got that you didn’t read my posts based on how you wrote yours so it was great to see someone else make the same point that I did coming from there own knowledge and reasoning…

Also,

The name that would count would be the name as it was pronounced by Jesus' mother. Anyone care to give her a call?

Yes, that is true as well, which it would be whatever the 'Hebrew name' that was said to be given…and it certainly was not 'Jesus' but yet many don't seem to make a fuss about using that name.

So the angel said to her: “Have no fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God; and, look! you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you are to call his name _________.

Now when eight days came to the full for circumcising him, his name was also called ________, the name called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

VI by any chance have you seen my post on this thread…anyhow I just wanted to make mention that although what you say in regards to Jesus’ name is 100% correct, it is important to point out that you are using the shorten form Hebrew name “Yeshua (Joshua)” but the fuller form is “Yehoshua (Jehoshua).

This is important to note because the fuller form shows the prefix Yeho/Jeho and since Jesus said that he came in the name of his father and because Yehoshua is said to mean ‘Jehovah is salvation’, then you should expect that whatever God’s name really is it should be reflected in Jesus’ Hebrew name.

Depending on what 4 you use, YHWH, YHVH, JHWH, JHVH, the name would be YeHoWaH, YeHoVaH, JeHoWaH, JeHoVaH. In any case the prefix Yeho/Jeho can be seen as well as the ‘HO’ sound.

Also IMO, the name ‘YaHWeH’ seems to be less likely to be correct. The YHWH can be seen and the vowels a and e are there (vowels used in other English forms of Hebrew names) but it is missing the vowel o which causes it to miss the Yeho/Jeho, and the ‘HO’ sound as in Yehoshua/Jehoshua.

HM-TM you are correct in your statement and it baffles me why there are those that harp on the correct pronunciation of God’s name but have no problem using the name Jesus when it comes to the Son of God.

His Hebrew name is Yehoshua, so why not call him that or the English form of the Hebrew, Jehoshua? No instead they call him the English form of the Latin form of the Greek form of the Hebrew.

Hebrew - Yehoshua > Greek – Iesous > Latin - Iesus > English – Jesus

English – Jehoshua

As far as a 13th century mistake, the name can be seen by Hebrew names that no one disputes as being incorrect.

JHVH + vowels E O A = Jehovah

Jehoshua - Jehovah Is Salvation

Jehoram - Jehovah Is Exalted

Jehoshaphat - Jehovah Is Judge

Jeremiah - Jehovah Exalts

Isaiah - Salvation of Jehovah

Zephaniah - Jehovah Has Concealed

Obadiah - Servant of Jehovah

And as far as EL.

Ezekiel - God Strengthens

Daniel - My Judge Is God

Joel - Jehovah Is God

CAP There are plenty of other things to criticize the Borg for than this issue.

DF I do agree with cappytan on this, there are more serious issues to criticize the bOrg on.

PHIZ I do agree with DA Cappytan that this is far from a major issue,

Sensible view :)

That said, no matter what vowels are placed between YHWH it can’t be said with certainty that it is correct but you can use the J for Y and the V for W and it is necessary to attempt to put vowels in order to pronounce the YHWH/JHVH.

June JW Broadcast - Jehovah's & Jesus' names Are Interchangeable!

by The Searcher in

mr. geoffrey jackson hosts this month's propaganda-fest, and uses a favourite catchphrase of the org - "by extension" - to get out of the dead-end which the scriptwriters had put him in.

he quotes matthew 10:22 - "and you will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my [jesus'] name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.".

mr. jackson knows only too well that probably no j.w.

41 I (Jesus) do not accept glory from men…43 I have come in the name of my Father,

16 Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me.

Therefore Jesus said: “When once YOU have lifted up the Son of man, then YOU will know that I am [he], and that I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me I speak these things.

because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak.

However, as many as did receive him (Jesus), to them he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name;

To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone putting faith in him gets forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

9 because God assigned us, not to wrath, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
