inside theKH: this is such a non-story

Unless you are Jim Murah.

I'm guessing by your callous attitude you are still an active JW, insidetheKH ?

Can you honestly look at that photo and say the JWs had no other options as to KH placement? Really?

Doc House: It's EASY to learn fallacy. When people teach their OPINIONS as to what GOD'S prophecies mean- that does NOT make them false prophets. Just very indiscreet...

Well then, Doc, by your own mouth you just invalidated the WT/GB as the "faithful and DISCREET slave". So why do you defend them?

BTW- your excusing of WT's false prophecies contradicts the Bible's description of what constitutes a false prophet.

You are a prime example of self-contradiction and arguing from a position of delusional ignorance.

why Jehovah's witnesses? not yaweh witnesses?

by purrpurr in

this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.

why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?

i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.

Doc House: Yes, Shirley- I am a JW.

I'm curious: why do you argue for the Watchtower when you don't even follow their mandate to stay away from "apostate" websites?

This is the hypocrisy of JWs like yourself. You argue for the rightness of WT and condemn anyone who disagrees with their theology, yet you yourself ignore their counsel when obeying it is inconvenient.

Why should I, or anyone else here, take you seriously or listen to anything you have to say????

Trademark office rejects Watchtower's application for "JW.Org" logo

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#casenumber=85896124&casetype=serial_no&searchtype=statussearch.

even though watchtower's application has been rejected, they will be allowed to use the logo because it is for religious usage and will not be confused with commercial products.. the trademark office did note this:.

indeed, numerous other marks are registered reflecting the letters j and w:.

How did Holy Spirit let that slip by?

Holy Spirit was practicing its Texas Two Step to "Footloose" and was otherwise distracted from other WT business.

Doc House: AndShirley- the "Slave Class" nonsense is ANOTHER opinion of prophecy.

Really? Tell any elder the WT's view on the slave is just a simple "opinion of prophecy" and see how many nanoseconds it takes for an apostasy judicial committee to be formed.

To further obliterate your comment, why is WT the only 'Christian' religion that holds this unique "opinion" about itself?

Doc, are you deliberately obtuse? Or, woefully ignorant?

For a guy who has a ten post limit, you sure do squander your resources on nonsense and empty rebuttals. Or is this the best you've got?

JW internal warfare threatens the Tract campaign

by Quarterback in

i overheard this argument re the new tract campaign.

one elder told a publisher, to hide the tract in the mailbox if the home owner wasn't home.

the publisher was used to folding the tip of the tract, and just left a tip showing.

This kind of advice is a predictable outcome when janitors and window washers run the show. Dumbasses.

DocHouse: The WTBS teaches nothing unbiblical that I know of.

The WT Society has openly admitted it goes beyond scripture, then mandates these rules/doctrines must be followed:

"A basis for approved fellowship with Jehovahs Witnesses cannot rest merely on a belief in God, in the Bible, in Jesus Christ, and so forth. Simply professing to have such beliefs would not authorize one to be known as one of Jehovahs Witnesses. Approved association with Jehovahs Witnesses requires accepting the entire range of the true teachings of the Bible, including those Scriptural beliefs that are unique to Jehovahs Witnesses" (Watchtower, April 1, 1986, p. 31).

.

In a "Questions from Readers" column in the 4/1/86 Watchtower, the organization provides a list of doctrines that a person must adhere to in order to remain in good standing among Jehovah's Witnesses. The list includes more controversial doctrines not found in the list a student must believe. Two significant ones are:

1. That there is a "faithful and discreet slave" upon earth today entrusted with all of Jesus earthly interests, which slave is associated with the Governing Body of Jehovahs Witnesses (as of 7-15-13, the Slave is The Governing Body).

2. That 1914 marked the end of the Gentile Times and the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the heavens, as well as the time for Christs foretold presence.

It is common for these particular teachings not to be advertised to newly-interested persons, because they are the most difficult to accept. Yet, as the article asserts, adherence to these doctrines is essential to remain in good standing.

the biblical definition of "faith"

Sure. Go to the Bible to get the Bible's definition which "proves" the Bible to be correct.

Maybe since I'm a Newy the site limits me to only 10 posts, making it VERY hard to reply, sometimes...

It's seems to me, then, that the best course of action would be to make each of your ten posts as effective as possible by offering substantial material to consider. But you don't.
