What are your current beliefs on God and the bible
by Leander in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when i first left the wts initially my intentions were to continue studying the bible on my own.

but now i really don't see the bible as being a true source of guidance.

as a witness i used to constantly read in the articles that god loves mankind, but how much love could there be if there are so many different religions all claiming to be the right one?

Your Opinion of this:

the questions:.

if someone disassociated themselves from the watchtower society due to research that convinced them that the watchtower was erroneous on many issues and yet still felt convinced that jehovah is much more gracious with regards to salvation than what we learned through the watchtower, is it possible for such a one to get reinstated, even if they did not believe numerous things that the watchtower teaches?.

what's the basis for that ?

The Trinity

2. beliefs
top reasons the wts is lying about the trinity.

their translation of john 1:1 is not only a complete farce but falls apart upon closer examination of their own beliefs.

the insertion of the phrase a god, instead of god is just a clear misinterpretation.

Who is Jesus Christ?
by UnDisfellowshipped in
1. watchtower
2. bible
who do you believe jesus christ is?.

i will post my beliefs on this thread soon.. this is probably the most important question there is to ask anyone.. mark 8:27: and jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of caesarea philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, who do men say that i am?
