JW cannots........

by Nan in

jw
friends

i couldn't believe this list of cannots that jws have to adhere to!

i already knew about the holidays, blood tranfusions, the pledge, etc.

there's maybe one or two that i would agree are for your own good, but the rest are ridiculous!!

”JW cannots” is a depressive result of following imperfect men, such as apostle Paul. It is typical for imperfect humans to forbid things that God does not forbid. (See James 3:2) Where in the Gospels do you find reason to forbid all those forbidden things among Jehovah’s Witnesses?

“Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man [apostle Paul], to whom no salvation belongs.” (Psalms 146:3)

“They [Jehovah’s Witnesses] bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men.” (Matthew 23:4)

“This people honors me [JEHOVAH] with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men [apostles Paul and John] as doctrines.” (Matthew 15:8)

THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! The WBTS set a new date!

by dmouse in

the latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.

ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.

but does that mean that the big a isn't near?

Benny Sikter

Hi friends,

WBTS have NOT set a new date! Please read the article in The Watchtower again and see what they really say.

Will the brothers at Brooklyn Bethel answer my questions?

dear friends,.

can i use your email address to discuss with you?

i really want to hear your reply to these questions:.

Benny Sikter

Hi friends,

I think that I have sent twenty letters or more to Brooklyn Bethel (fifty letters or more to Sweden Bethel) during my time as a member of their congregation. But no answers to my scriptural questions have ever been given to me. And no elders have visited me in order to instruct me according to the truth. (See Matthew 25:42-46)

That unchristian ignorance was the reason to my disassociation last summer. (See Revelation 18:4) Should not true Christians follow the words in 1 Peter 3:15 and always be “ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect”?

Will the brothers at Brooklyn Bethel answer my questions this time?

Benny Sikter

Dear friends, Can I use your email address to discuss with you? I really want to hear your reply to these questions:

How did the death of Jesus Christ buy back what Adam had lost? In a spiritual way or physical? If physically, why is not Adam alive? If spiritually, why is Jesus Christ still alive? And should these two sons of God remain dead physically? Did God, because of the origin sin of Adam, loose one or two or none of His sons? (See Acts 2:22-36; Romans 6:7)

Does the Almighty God really need a sacrifice to be in good relationship to man? If a little boy had been disobedient to his father, does his father in return need anything from his little boy? Should the boy kill himself or should he give his father some money or something else in order to cover up his disobedience? Opposite, should the father kill his own little boy or take something from him in order to cover up his disobedience? (See Isaiah 1:18; Acts 17:25; Compare Mark 9:43-48)

Would Adam and Eve ever be resurrected from the dead ones? If not, will their resurrected sons and daughters miss their parents in Gods New World? And what about the grandchildren? Will they miss their grandparents? Is it possible for those resurrected children “to keep paying a due compensation to their parents and grandparents” in the future for the reason that they are living because Adam and Eve had give birth and raised them? Is Jehovah God “satisfying the desire of every living thing” or just “not quite” every living thing? (Psalm 145:16; 1 Timothy 5:4; See Acts 24:15)

I sent this letter to The Governing Body, but they never answered. Why?

the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.

Ray Franz and 1975

by izobcenec in

jw
friends

did ray franz believe that end would come in 1975...i am asking that because my jw friend said, that he listened to his talk few years before 1975 and that ray was very clear about 1975...my jw friend is blaming ray and those who were d/f in 1980 for 1975 fiasco and because they were d/f, he doesnt see any problem with 1975...thanx for your comments

Benny Sikter

Hi izobcenic, Tell your JW friend that he can blame all members of The Governing Body for 1975 fiasco. Don't just blame brother Ray Franz who indeed was deceived by his anointed brothers at that satanic time of Jehovah's Witnesses' bad history. (See Matthew 18:6) "It does not belong to you to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the FATHER has placed in His own jurisdiction." (Acts 1:7) "Add nothing to His Word, that He may not reprove you, and that you may not have to be proved a liar." (Proverbs 30:6) Which one of the Jehovah's Witnesses is not a liar, a son of Satan the Devil? I don't know any. (See John 8:44) Love

Why Aren't Jehovah's Witnesses Allowed To Freely Express Themselves?

by minimus in

jw
friends

it's a simple fact.

jw's cannot freely express themselves.

they can't freely tell another about a doubt or a question that they might have for fear they could be exposed to the elders.

Benny Sikter

Dear "Scholar",

You say: "These men (Raymond Franz and Carl Olof Jonsson) have deceived many who are ignorant and childlike in their understanding of chronology and theology. These men have set themselves as teachers and they bear a heavy responsibility when they pass their chronology as infallible doctrine."

But is really these men's behaviour different to Jehovah's Witnesses' behaviour that also is setting themselves as teachers? Have not Jehovah's Witnesses ever deceived many to believe false doctrines? What about the year 1975 and “the generation” mentioned in Matthew 24:34? Were not many brothers and sisters deceived at that time? (See Matthew 23:2; 2 Timothy 4:3, 4)

“Add nothing to His Words, that He may reprove you, and that you may not have to be proved a liar.” (Proverbs 30:6)

How many times have not Jehovah’s Witnesses taught other people to follow mere words from human beings? (See Psalm 146:3-10)

“Trust in JEHOVAH [not in His Witnesses] with all your heart and do not lean upon your [or Witnesses’] own understanding. In all your ways take notice of Him, and He Himself will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5, 6)

Baptism - a symbol of dedication to Jehovah

by Nosferatu in

it just came back to me that baptism is just a stupid public display, letting everyone know that you've dedicated your life to jehovah.

i think it's funny how the elders can tell if you've undedicated your life to jehovah, and they disfellowship you.

now who's choice was it to dedicate your life to jehovah?.

Benny Sikter

Hello again! I am not an active dub as you say! Why do you say this to me? Baptism is not a trap to fall into. It is just a symbolic act showing interest in following God. No humans on earth and no elders in the congregations have anything to do with it. It is an individual step. The religion of Jehovah's Witnesses will be put to eternal death by JEHOVAH GOD because they, among other things, take on the authorization to disfellowship people from His congregation. All these sinful elders, no matter if they are properly baptized or not, will also be removed as His representatives in His due time. Be sure of that. Benny Sikter

Who really belives that there is a Satan

by Singing Man in

is there any real evidence that there is a satan and a bunch of nasty demons?

it seems to be implanted on into our hard drives of our minds through the bible and religions litature.. it seems to me if the bible told us the moon was made of swiss cheese and religious litature said pigs could fly most humans would agree at once.

one mans opinion.

Benny Sikter

Hi Happythoughts!

I think all people on earth are "married" to Satan the Devil because they are living in intimate harmony with his deeply depraved wickedness. What do you say about this tough statement?
