  Here is Terry's article. Read it...very interesting:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/adult/252177/1/Fahim-my-friend-is-now-an-Apostate-to-ISLAM#.U_X2nY3n_Sc

  Here's an excerpt:

  ".... He [Fahim] explained to me that he had never actually read the Koran, but, had grown up with it everywhere naturally accepted as the spoken true word of Allah.

  His arguments with the radical Islamists in his native language made him wonder how they could have so warped the teachings of Muhammed.

  So, he read every word over the two year period!

  His conclusions are very interesting to me. I thought I'd share them with you.

  He told me he realized what the problem with Islam is. It is the moderates who are totally confused! The Koran is not teaching peace and love at all. It is the fanatics who are correctly representing what the teachings of Muhammed are: violent and bloody extermination of the NON-believers in every OTHER religion! And he suddenly knew he could not have any connection with it--OR a God who displayed such a mindset!"

  These beheadings of infidels by the way are actions described in the Quran, thats why these extremists are doing it.

  Muhammad personally beheaded over 700 people. Is it any surprise his followers do the same?

  thats why these extremists are doing it

  Sadly, the Muslims doing these things are not extremists...they are Fundamentalists adhering strictly to the Quran.

  Several months ago Terry posted a topic about a fascinating conversation he had with a long-time Muslim friend about this very thing.

  Jehovah told to Moses: "....kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man"

  in numbers 31 we read the following:.

  jehovah then told moses:2 take vengeance for the israelites on the midianites.

  afterward you will be gathered to your people.3 so moses spoke to the people, saying: equip men from among you for battle against midian and to execute jehovahs vengeance on midian.4 you should send 1,000 of each tribe of all the tribes of israel into the army............ 7 they waged war against midian, just as jehovah had commanded moses, and they killed every male.8 along with the others slain, they killed the kings of midian, namely, evi, rekem, zur, hur, and reba, the five kings of midian.

  oppostate: It was not a command of God that the children and mothers should be slaughtered....God did allow this to happen

  So what's the difference between ordering it or just standing apathetically by and watching it happen? God didn't have the power to stop it if he wanted to?

  No matter how you argue it, god is a dick.

  And, hamsterbait is correct. Moses was barred from the Promised Land because he didn't give enough credit to the egotistical, narcissistic, self-absorbed, vain, everyone-look-at-me god, Jehovah.

  In a childish tantrum because he wasn't getting enough attention, Jehovah took it out on Moses. God had no problem with infanticide and genocide, but what really pissed him off was Moses allegedly stealing some if His thunder.

  Amazing that anyone still claims that Islam is a religion of peace with these neanderthals on the planet.

  Neanderthals were far more advanced.

  ucantcomehome: it seems they were looking to 1914 and something big happened

  Actually, those who watched world events knew a war would break out in a big way in Europe decades before it happened- not a matter of if, but when. Otto von Bismarck was one such person. Incidentally, CT Russell predicted nothing resembling the events that actually transpired in 1914.

  Last warning and prediction

  In December 1897, Wilhelm II visited Bismarck for the last time. Bismarck again warned the Kaiser about the dangers of improvising government policy based on the intrigues of courtiers and militarists. Bismarck's last warning was:

  Your Majesty, so long as you have this present officer corps, you can do as you please. But when this is no longer the case, it will be very different for you.

  Subsequently, Bismarck made this prediction:

  "Jena came twenty years after the death of Frederick The Great; the crash will come twenty years after my departure if things go on like this" ― a prophecy fulfilled a little late when, twenty four years after his resignation as Chancellor, World War 1 began in August 1914.

  "Europe today is a powder keg and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal ... A single spark will set off an explosion that will consume us all ... I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you where ... Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans will set it off."

  --- Otto von Bismarck

  .

  For years it was thought that the Balkans would be the epicenter of a European wide conflict ("those damned Balkans" as Bismarck called them). Foreign offices even figured how it was going to happen: the Germans would let the Austrians go unchecked and Russia would refuse to lose face by allowing it. When the Balkan Wars erupted in 1912, administrators held their breath, but the fact that they were contained to the Balkans was a source of optimism for the doomsday predictors (James Joll in "The Mood of 1914" makes a good case for this).

  i love to read the watchtower's article "the church fathersadvocates of bible truth?

  " (w01 4/15 pp.

  there we may read the most contadictory statements of the watchtower society, which shows how deceptive and ignorant is the jehovah's witnesses religion.. .

  For all of WT's posturing against the Catholic Church, it is the height of hypocrisy to then adopt concepts of the CC that have become the foundation of WT's theology:

  > the name "Jehovah" is a Catholic invention

  > disfellowshipping (excomminucation)

  > WT has no problem using the Bible canon compiled by the CC

  > hierarchical church structure

  If the CC is, and was, "apostate" Christianity as WT claims, then why does WT copy so much of what the CC does? And WT has no problem referring to Catholic sources as an authority...when these sources agree with WT's thinking.

  Of course, what the 2014 KM ignores, and what WT has ignored for decades, is that for nearly 60 years WT proclaimed Jesus' presence began in 1874, not 1914:

  .

  The Scriptures show that the second presence [of the Lord] was due in 1874 . . . . This proof shows that the Lord has been present since 1874.
  --The Watch Tower, 1 March 1923, page 67

  Surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of God that the Lord Jesus is present and has been since 1874.
  --The Watch Tower, 1 January 1924, page 5

  .

  WT taught that Jesus began ruling in 1878, and 1914 was proclaimed to be the year of Armageddon, not the beginning of Jesus' presence:

  .

  "Be not surprised, then, when in subsequent chapters we present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God is already begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A.D. 1878, and that the 'battle of the great day of God Almighty (Rev. 16:14) which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced. The gathering of the armies is plainly visible from the standpoint of God's word." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, The Time Is At Hand, 1889 Ed., p. 101. The 1915 Edition of this texts changed "A.D. 1914" to read 'A.D. 1915')

  "In the coming 26 years [1914/1915] , all present governments will be overthrown and dissolved." (C.T. Russell, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 98-99, 1889)
