  Earnest the Greek Septuagint is older then the Dead Sea scrolls. I’ll look into those other inscriptions.

  I believe The Tetragrammaton was substituted later to cover up and replace the gods names that were originally in the writings. Old Testament writings in my opinion were old stories gather from around the Levant and didn’t all speak of the same god. That’s why in Jerimiah for example his god never thought of a sacrifice human or animal. Other writings talk about god being from Egypt and there’s even descriptions of Egypts god Ra in one of the minor prophets. There Egyptian influences all over the place in these writings as well as Greek.

  At 1.4% growth the last 2 years, it's safe to say, jw.org and cart witnessing is an abject failure!

  so much for jehovah blessing this new arrangement.

  they are barely keeping up with the birthrate!

  so basically the org spent millions of dollars on their website and broadcasting so the only growth they are still getting comes from born ins and illiterate and superstitious folks from africa.

  Cart witnessing is kicking ass. In the Congo they got them set up near rivers and the people coming from a long day of fishing and running from crocodiles are lining up in droves to speak with ones and take book written in foreign languages.

  November 2018 Watchtower study....attacking weak members, their personalities, and apostates

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society always attempts to disprove or discredit valid arguments or statements by criticizing the ability of individuals to think, reason, ask tough questions and make their own decisions!

  if they can't logically attack the message, they attack the messenger!!

  the name calling of apostates or anyone who doesn't agree with all the wtbts flip-flops ( the light gets brighter) never stops!

  I was stumbled by a prominent brother , brother Lett when he said that when he was younger at bethel most there believed the end was coming 1975. Opps didn’t they used to say and say again now that the whole 1975 thing was because some brothers out in the field got carried away and said these things? Well according to Lett the ones at Bethel thought the same even accusing him of apostasy for not believing.

  Yep you can’t make this shit up!

  i can’t show a pic because it was posted by a friend pimi on face book.

  but the pic was of a 3 wheel bike with a cart styled front and then in the back a basket but on the sides below the seat a plaque with the website on it.

  it’s really sad that the cult is using 100 year old technology to try and recruit people because modern ways of advertising either costs money or will expose them to ridicule and the members are clueless.

  There’s no J in Hebrew period! The fact is the old Hebrew language had no vowels that’s why they switched to Aromaic. Vowel points were introduced in the 10 century AD. There’s very little evidence that anyone spoke or wrote Hebrew back in the days previous to the 6th century BC .

  The oldest Torah is only 600 years old the oldest manuscripts that could be called the Old Testament are the original Greek Septuagint which was originally only the first 5 books.

  Any older manuscripts of Old Testament writtings in Hebrew then the Septuagint were just small fragments of wisdom sayings. Oldest manuscripts of gods name and stories and descriptions of the biblical god are found at Ugarit. His name is El and the stories written their were later used as foundation for some of the stories we read today in the Old Testament.

  When I saw this on you tube about her I thought this is fantastic! Then to find out there are even more successful exjw then her on you tube and it’s just plain wonderful. Also over on Reddit someone posted how the countries that have the richest per capita people are also the places we’re the decline of the cult is happening most.

  Take this info and add to it the pedophila problems that the cult has and how it’s hitting the mainstream media , this cult has some real problems.

  Their not going out of business anytime soon but the stresses on it has become clear and they are reacting. Closing down halls and selling off properties is just one good sign!

  Jehovah's Witnesses including its leaders are in the business of lying

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ......endeavored to create an image of the organization which they are a identifying part of.. when you think about this religious organization and most its social ideological expressions are expressed through lying.

  its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible.. the leaders intentionally twisted doctrines to enhance the proliferation of the literature the wts published, which were a false theology through their interpretation of the bible.

  the proclamation that jws are generally good wholesome living honest people.. there is constant endeavor by the people involved to hold up a pretentious veil of honest righteousness identifying the organization and its adherent followers.

  I can see you ask an elder this question and then watch his eyes roll back into his head and after a small seizure. Look back at you and quickly respond “why do you ask, are you an apostate?”
