  The Watchtower's 'Faith Without Works' Scam

  by metatron in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a particular topic that evokes much smugness on the part of.

  witnesses is what james said about "faith without works'.. once this subject is brought up, they jump to the conclusion that.

  all others who fail to record hours spent in this usually unwelcome.

  Caught Red Handed at a Funeral Home

  by Sangdigger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while making a run to the local drug store last night, i noticed before getting out of my truck, an active jw (who rides his bicycle everywhere) coasting in front of me, parking his bike, and disapeared into the store.

  i see him all the time and i know he sees me, but not sure if he's ignoring me, or just plain cant see.

  maybe thats why he dont drive a car.

  The Bible - inerrant word of God?

  by Mr Bean in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the deeper you look into, clearer picture is emerging that god had not any input in these writings at all.

  there are many verses, even whole passages which exist in some editions and in some they do not.. he evidently didn't supervised writers or copyists and we have plenty of evidences of that, his name in nt included.. since gospels of peter or thomas are not regarded as valuable and important documentations of jesus' life, only one conclusion comes to my mind.. as a moral guide the bible is an excellent book, written by... men!.

  highly recommended!.

  Hi Everyone!

  by thepreacher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to stop in and spread the good news.

  you will find it in 1 corinthians 15.1-11, written under inspiration of the holy spirit and not the spirits directed (by alcoholic spirits) of the watchtower.

  my wife and i just recently da'd and we forced their hand since they were avoiding us entirely, despite three years of inactivity, with no 'shepherding call' at all.

  The historicy of Jesus Christ: I need your help

  by Ginosko in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  recently i was reading about the historicy of jesus christ and i found some documents quite perturbant, one of them is located in this url: http://www.courses.drew.edu/sp2000/bibst189.001/jesusmys.html .

  i found especially perturbant the parallels in the conclusion between jesus christ and osiris-dionysus.

  of course any kind of material could the published in the internet, but, are these parallels thrue ?

  The Glory Days Are Over

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is no doubt in my mind that the glory days of jehovah's witnesses are over.

  from my knowledge and experience with wt history, i would define the glory days as the decades of the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's.

  with knorr's great expansionary vision and discipline, dubs in the 1950's became a "somebody" in the 1950's.

  Jesus ... the greatest sacrifice?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this will probably sound controversial to anyone who is still religiously inclined so i apologies upfront and do not mean any offence by it.

  it's just my 'pondering'.. i was thinking about all the times that i heard form the platform and read in the watchtower that jesus made the greatest sacrifice ever in history by giving his life in exchange for all minkind, to die for our sins etc.. but even if this were true, would it be such a great sacrifice?.

  giving one life in exchange for thousands ... millions ... billions seems to be not too big a sacrifice for the return and one that many people would make today.
