The "Trinity" is not Biblical.

by Revealed in

simple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.

.

so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.

Trying to Proving the Divinity of the Bible is as futile as trying to prove the divinity of other religious books.

Ok, Trinity is not found in the Bible Agree. That doesn’t make the Bible Superior or Attest itself to be Gods Word, as claimed.

The supposed Jesus was as ignorant as like the common man of those times. If he was divine he would have spoken about our Solar System, Stars , Universe, Gravity and germs.

And this human sacrifice (To supposedly forgive the Hypothetical sins of the world) is a barbaric ancient practice. It is totally illegal now , morally wrong, cruel and criminal, as always. Why Glorify it?

BTW, I was a protestant Christian for 32 years and a JW for 11 years and an Atheist now.

The Eyes Of Tammy Faye

by smiddy3 in

i just watched this movie today and still not sure what to make of it .. did / do these people really believe what they preached ?

on the one hand i would say they did ,however on the other hand they knew religion was a gold mine for them .. and their lifestyle how they live reflected that .. and i can see the gb of the wt in it for the same reasons but they do it without all of the theatrics that these televangelists seem to thrive on.. i look forward to your thoughts on the movie..

EverApostate

2000 years ago - a person claims that god spoke to him – This becomes a religion

Today – A person claims that god speaks to him. Majority of the world would consider him as deluded or a fraud. Only a Few dumb would believe.

Armageddon house?

by exjwlemming in

the other night, my wife and i were driving through a upscale suburb with old, large, beautiful homes.

there is one house that my never jw she really likes.

as we drove by the house, i turned to her and said, "that's your armageddon house.

EverApostate

Many many many times I would hear this in the cutls FS. I wasnt disgusted at that time, as I was in their bandwagon. Now I feel like throwing up.

False members numbers

by asp59 in

is watchtower faking there member numbers?

i live in europe.

for the last 15 year's probably 25 person i knew or more were df, pimo, left by own will, inactive.

EverApostate

I had been out of the cult since 11 years and truly don’t know what’s happening inside.

When the numbers really go down to an alarming level, the cult would say that Jah is shaking the loose leaves of the trees in preparation of Armageddon. (I think there is a Bible verse on this)

If the Numbers go up, they would say its Jahs blessing and Armageddon is fast approaching. (There are numerous bible verses for this too)

A question I have had since I was in the cult

by mickbobcat in

so anointed ones go to heaven and rule with christ.

men and women on earth can be of the anointed.

so does that mean woman are tranny's who are of the anointed?

EverApostate

Right Just4Real, Revelation 14:4 states that the anointed are not defiled by women. (BTW, how dare he says that. Male chauvinistic guy. Where did he and Jesus come from then ?)

So Technically as per Bible, the anointed cant be women.

EverApostate

Women are not permitted to speak in the congregation, yet they can be anointed. Death Qualifies women to rule with Christ in heaven (As per WT and its not my opinion) in the Kenny Rogers crowd

Was told I was not progressing!

by Overrated in

jw
friends

you're doing everything you can, meeting attendance, field circus, helping out where you can and you are told your not progressing!?!

as anyone had that happen to them in the "trooth "?.

EverApostate

Progressing in “JW” terms means showing Unquestionable faith and dedication to the cult every day, progressively. That means shunning your family members too, in case if the need arises.

Don’t fall for it. When I was a JW the elders would come to me and say that I am not Progressing because of my low FS hours (3 or 4 hrs per month). I always had many doubts and most of the JW beliefs were either ridiculous or too good to be true.

Thank Jehovah, I never progressed and finally quit

Watchtower Disparages the Bible

by Vanderhoven7 in

i'm looking for wts quotations that contrast with ii timothy 3:15-16 whereby they downplay scripture.. here is one from way back..

"...people cannot see the divine plan in studying the bible by itself...if he then lays them [scripture studies] aside and ignores them and goes to the bible alone, though he has understood his bible for ten years, our experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness.

on the other hand, if he had merely read the scripture studies with their references, and had not read a page of the bible, as such, he would be in the light at the end of the two years, because he would have the light of the scriptures," (watchtower, sept. 15, 1910, p. 298).

EverApostate

The Bible says that the snake talked to Eve. Period. Even an 8th grader would laugh at it

WT (and other denominations) interpret it as Satan Talking to Eve.

That’s why they say that reading the Bible by yourself is dangerous. To cover up the silliness, cruelty, Ignonrance and Barbarity – found in the Bible - to suit their agenda

by pistolpete in

"brothers, we have a financial deficit of $5,000 dollars for our circuit assembly.

keep in mind that we have utilities and other expenses that need to be met.

EverApostate

Well, these GB may have a dificit for flying in business class and for their Luxurious stay in a 7 star Hotel.
