They posted my rebuttal!

I've noticed the people that bashed your article either claim you have a lack of faith or claim that you're a disgruntled ex member with an agenda. None of them really debunk your claim.

As for another JW translation anomaly

Ex.3:14-15 reads, "And Elohim (Another name for God) said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and

That's how it's written in most bibles, yet in the JW bible, it's translated as "I shall prove to be as I shall prove to be".

Maybe it's because Jesus later said "
Before Abraham Was,
I AM" (Jn.8:58)"

In the JW bible, it's translated as "Before Abrhama was, I was", to something in that vein (I don't have the JW bible set before me.)

No reputable Bible translates "I AM" in any other way, except for bibles translated by Neo-Adventist Non-Trinitarians like the Church of God and other whackjob religions. (And guess who's the biggest Neo-Adventist Non Trinitarian church?)

Although they didn't get my name right, I'm glad to see it's posted there.

just watched the news and two 14 year olds have been brought into custody for questioning of the burning of the hall in middleboro....it is burning right now..... the media was interviewing an elder who was let in quickly for some important papers when one of the side walls caved in while the fire fighters were trying to put out the fire.the fire men were sent to hospital for smoke..... i wonder what was the important papers that they needed??.

i have never known fire men to let people into a burning building before.... the whole thing sounds fishy to me....

ColdRedRain

Even though it seems satisfying when a KH is burnt down, just remember, they're going to have to rip off more people to pay for the building, not to mention, the KH may have been burnt down, but that still didn't remove the numbers of the Witnesses. This site does more damage than any fire can do to any KH.

The JW Name

by Purza in

i was talking to my boyfriend last night and i mentioned something about the jw's adopting the name "jw" in 1935.

(that surprised him) please keep in mind i have been inactive for 2 years and i never really cared before that, so my memory is a bit rusty.

he asked when they began and i said sometime in the late 1800s.

Also too, the JW name was adopted in a time when the bible students in the world fragmented and formed their own "Bible Student" sects (Associated Bible Students, The Dawn Bible Students, etc.) and Rutherford didn't want to have his "Bible Student" cult confused with the splinters, so he switched the name over to "Jehovah's Witnesses".

The blasphemy of God's name hasn't stopped ever since.

No flood for 800,000 years ... and we're having warm weather !

an interesting read about our little world:.

There is no doubt that we affected the atmosphere of the planet by the removal of our boreal and our austral forests. Those were the biggest contributers of oxygen on our planet and we ridded ourselves on them. It's no wonder why we're getting less and less healthy. There's a lack of oxygen in our enviroment to run on.

However, there isn't conclusive enough evidence to state whether we've changed our evirons or not with greenhouse gasses. We only contribue less than 5% of all global pollution. The rest is done by mother nature herself with her sulphurous volcanoes.

Watchtower's view on Extinct Animals

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

what was the watchtower's view on the dodo bird, the wooly mammoth, and other extinct animals?

were they going to be resurrected, or did the wt think that extinct animals were a myth?

ColdRedRain

So pretty much, they're saying "You're thinking too hard." When somebody says that, it usually means that they don't have a fucking clue and you found a flaw in their reasoning.

yeah, another shameless plug for my music.

i found a great website that will allow me 50 megs of storage for music!

this means better bandwidth for my tunes (rather than using the free sites).

And look at the Dubbies try so hard to "Debunk" him.

Not only are they not on the same page when it comes to reasoning, they're not even on the same book, subject and language.

Are you bint because maby they have higher standards on not praising one person over another? As for your First bible verses, i felt that Checking a few types of bible's would help me understand what the fuss was all about. I went to Bible.com .

American Standard version Of the Holy Bible
5:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and
Amplified Bible (AMP)John 15:4

4Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
5I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

Where do these bible people come up with Union, does it not mean togetherness, are you trying to say that Christ will posses people?

Phill 2-10 and 12 Where every Knee will bow, is it not true that Jesus Christ is now King? And in Isaiah 45:23 that Jehovah is letting his then covent people know that he will still be in charge even though the other gods Bal and Nebo where very provaliant strong gods. You notice now that there is a new people of all nations toungs and tribes that are under Jesus as King.

I wonder who is more like Christ? Some one who only teaches to there established congrigation, or people whom not only model them selves after Christ, and do what Christ told them to- preach the good news to the entire inhabited world!
I am not in the job discription of recruiting, i am only an informer.Heck Im not even a Witness, yet.

I just get the feeling that you are the one recruiting, posing your website and mailing address, which i know you ask for donations because I once appon a time used to get your mailer. I found that your words in your mailer where not factual, and that You dissed other religions instead of mearly comparing them. It seems that you have a Chip on your sholder. Could it be that you have been rightly dissfelloshiped? I see alsorts of people online dissing JW, and Mormans, and more than most are Dissfelloshiped.. well no wonder! DUH? Am i seeing a pattern.

You have the right to let people know that Jws can prove there case, "smoke screen"? I dont think so. Oh and thank you for letting people know that they have more respect for there God than to put fame on them selves.

1st goal to tampa bay on the power play.. anyone care to venture a guess?

Oh god, a Dallas Stars fan tries to tell a Minnesotan that how there wasn't interest in the North Stars.

Pretty much, the North Stars were to Minnesota like how the Pacers were to Indiana or how the Cowboys were to Texas. They were the professional team in the national hotbed of the sport. Of course they had good attendance.

http://www.hockeyresearch.com/mfoster/business/nhl_attn.html

The only exceptions were 1988-89 and 1990-91, both when the Twins, who were in a more centrally located stadium in Minneapolis, had good seasons, also noted that the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves had their inagural season in 1989 (A year which the Vikings had a good season), also in a more centrally located stadium in Minneapolis. Also, the winter of 1990 was a very harsh one. And also added to the fact that people just didn't buy tickets in advance, back then. They usually walked up to the ticket booth and bought the tickets, which wasn't recorded as well.

Anyways, our attendance for our new hockey team is still good even though the team couldn't buy an offense from a scalper outside the Xcel energy center. Let's see if Dall-ass can support their team when they institute a salary cap next year and they can't buy an all-star cast of players (Guerin, Niwendyk, Belfour) and fall into obscurity like southern hockey always falls into.
