  Shunning ? did JEHOVAH shun Satan ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don`t know if this has been addressed before , however it appears there is an inconsistency and a big one at that with the practice of shunning with jw`s.

  elders / ministerial servants look out for the spiritual health of the congregation , and if they see something they feel is detrimental to the spiritual health of the congregation they are going to act to rectify it, .

  they take appropiate action where they think is necessary .

  The Military Failure of the United States of America. Why?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  the usa is undoubtedly the strongest military power in the world, and has often been willing to use that power against other nations, some historians count 187 foreign wars in 200 years, and this youtube video lists the wars the us has fought in the twentieth century, most of which, (in the earliest part of the 20th c) it can be argued, were won by the usa.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q51nfakme-g. this is not an argument about the rightness or wrongness of any war.

  the argument is why the mightiest ever military power, a political power that controls overwhelming destructive forces, a power that claims to stand on the side of its god, does not win wars?

  have you thought about this question?

  In the latest wars like in Iraq and Afghanistan the US gained their original objective. Destroy Saddam, put the country back on the US dollar standard and privatize the oil fields. In Afghanistan they have blocked China's influence opened up the area for a pipeline that will benefit US oil interests and now have control of the countries precious metals which again keeps China from monopolizing these metals. The US got what they wanted and problems like Isis and the Talaban are just little issues they really don't care about.

  Whose God are you worshipping??

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the early writings of the bible its mentioned that the israelites worshiped false gods, gods of the stars and other celestial bodies.

  ezekiel even bloviates against this in his writings and king josiah is said to have abolish these practices.

  jeremiah mentions that god would even destroy the city were sun worship was being practiced a place called bethshemesh in egypt.

  Another update, recently it has been released that archyologists found king HezekiahS royal inscription pressed into a clay bulla. In this inscription there are two Egyptian Anks and most notably a symbol of a sun disk with wings. This is a symbol of the God Amun-ra, confirming my original post.

  When one looks at the edomology of the gods of the near east one can see their related, meaning the Sumerian God Anu is also the Canaanite god El and in Egypt this same god is Amun. So during Hezekiahs time Egypt was his ally and also had the most influence over the Levant. So it would make sense that he's using the iconography of the Egyptian God of the heaven Amun. Jehovah is Amun-Ra, Anu, El then takes on the attributes of the newer high gods the people of that area descided to worship Baal Hadad , Osiris and most notably Marduk.

  So now you know whos God you have been worshipping.

  Bending Truth - CO Talk - Time and Money Invested

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watched the bending truth video last week - an essential for those asking "why?

  " people join, and why people stay.. the co's talk on inspired truth and inspired error made much reference to habakkuk "not be late.".

  and then, they actually verbalized the bending truth video, for those wondering about the delay, and what to do.. "think about how much time and money you have already invested in serving jehovah.

  Notice that Satan in the bible never existed in the old testament

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  he appears as a snake in genesis not as satan.

  all the way to job no satan is mentioned.

  satan and devil mean "resister" and can be apllied to other people.

  Another angle is in the story there's more then one God. God tells David do it, another punishes him. The original flood story was this way, God of sky wants humans dead, God of earth saves humans

  Undeclared changes to the 2013 NWT

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the following from the 2013 edition of the nwt, the watchtower society indicates that when it released its initial 1950 edition, it considered the greek text provided by westcott and hort as its master text.

  as a result of these additional masters, the wts made some undeclared changes to the 2013 nwt.

  it does not list these changes or give any explanations.. greek text: in the late 19th century, scholars b. f. westcott and f.j.a.

  I'm wondering how many times they took out the name Jesus and replaced it with the name Jehovah? After using any other Bible but their over the last couple of years it's apauling so see the word Jehovah all over the new testamant, much more then before I believe.

  Everyone here has valid points, they may not be broke but selling properties cutting back tells me they need cash. I think the bigger picture is they are not retaining people or signing them up like before. Religion is drying up and they are trying to shore up their company. The internet is killing off belief in the Bible, so is science, archeology etc.

  If their selling assembly halls a source of money for them then they truly do have money problems and the cult doesn't have the active members they claim at least not paying ones.
