  Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator? Watchtower's Position is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit!

  by RottenRiley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  2. p. 363; emphasis added) .

  (ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.

  ; emphasis added) .

  JW have perverted view on position of Jesus and the humanity in a relationship to God. WT teaches (or taught when I was in) that Jesus is only meditator between the annoited sheep and God. The Great crowd is not. Salvation for the Great Crowd is achieved through joing the FDS as a arc of Noe. This view is extremely powerful for the WT to manipulate its members:

  1. Annoited feels that they have a special relationship and everyone is second class christians
  2. It maintains over the members a control that their salvation is only possible by joing their publishing house in Brooklyn

  while browsing throught my facebook timeline today, i came across a post from a facebook "friend" who is a hardcore zealous jw.

  he obviously has no idea that i'm an apostate.

  and so this person provides me endless entertainment on a daily basis with his delusional posts about the org.. today we had this gem, where he said he had just designed his paradise home in photoshop which i am posting a picture here.

  A.proclaimer, I knew some JW like that who speculated which villa in my hometown they can occupy after armageddon. When I mentioned Mark 13:2 where no stone will be left one upon another... they were rather sad.

  Hell or no hell

  by never a jw in

  about a year ago i had an exchange of emails with an elder of a congregation where all my jw relatives attend.

  i asked him all kinds of questions regarding blood, 607, shunning, evolution, higher education.

  as anticipated, he either had no answer or provided an evasive one.

  When I took lectures of theology for my undergrad, we had several different religions in the class where we debated various doctrines. Some Muslim branches believe that hell is no eternal, but eventually people achieve a mercy from Allah. Only people who deriberatly insulted God will be punished forever as they will not be able to obtain his forgivness.

  I think my D.O. Is a closet apostate. References Stanford Prison Study and hints he sometimes disagrees with the Branch

  by kneehighmiah in

  i find it odd that the district overseer today made.

  1. zero yes 0 references to the fds in any of his talks.. 2.he also told elders that the brothers worship god and not them.so therefore the elders have no authority to order the friends around.. 3. he also talked about the stanford prison study and said that people who receive authority over others often abuse it.

  4. he mentioned that when he disagrees with the branch (aka the fds) he's learned to just do what they say.

  I would not believe one word that would come from D.O. as a good intention. These people are trained for years in deceptions and lies, and they have no shame to put upfront a criticism of the FDS as a mask to uncover unhappy JWs.

  Wow, it is soooooo funny. I remember elders like these. In 1989 my elder reasoned that he does not need to fix his house, because big "A" was just behind the corner. 25 years later, he still did not fix his house that he had inherited from his JW parents, but the house turned much into ruin...lol

  Not only Millenials but also Gen-X & Y. However, USA has one widespread religous attendance in the world and the most religious population in the Western world. Americans consider faith as a part of their cultural, social, and national identity. Nowhere in the world any country experienced four distinct religious awakening as did USA since 1700's and USA is the biggest exporter of religion, bibles, faiths, and missionaries in the world at least since 1840.

  I believe in existence of hell. I see its a personal exclusion from God's love. I am not sure if the hell burns or not, and I have doubt that eternal torments matches divine justice.

  I know JW who committed suicide. I know JW where entire family committed suicide. They drove their car outside Prague, put hose into the exhaust pipe and turned the engine on. Both husband and wife, and their two children died. My JW aunt attempted suicide and was hospitalized in mental ward for some time.
