  Does This Site Ever Change The Mind of “Spiritual “ Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  do you think witnesses who come here believe that in fact they don’t have the truth, after all.

  or are we just preaching to the choir?

  ?.

  Why isn't Lazarus my next-door neighbor?

  by return of parakeet in

  2. bible

  after looking through doug mason's "ransom" thread, i noticed a little discrepancy between dub doctrine and the bible; i.e.

  lazarus.. if the wages of sin is death, lazarus paid the wages in full by dying, and when resurrected by jesus, he should then have been a "perfect" man.

  after all, he paid his wages for his imperfection -- he died.

  Is the husband the head of his wife?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how do we explain the marital role with what paul said in 1 cor.

  “but i want you to realize that the head of every man is christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of christ is god.” (niv).

  read a few chapters earlier at 1 corinthians 7 to see what paul does say about the relationships between husband and wife.

  When did the Jehovah's Witnesses officially become a "religion"?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most people know that jehovah's witnesses began as a publishing company promoting a restorationist type christianity.

  people who were followers were called bible students.

  but when, exactly, did it change from a "movement" to a "religion"?
