  i was at a mall trying on shoes and this old man is in a wheelchair near me.

  says how he thought those shoes were sharp and he had never worn brown shoes before and that he is 104 years old.

  i said no way and asked what year he was born.

  Smiddy:

  Lazarus died he paid the price for Adams disobedience ,sin.

  He was resurrected to life ,so by all accounts he should be free of the Adamic sin that condemned all of humanity to death so he should still be alive walking around among us right ?

  This is what I asked the dubs when I woke up and before I got disassociated. Only got blank stares. I still ask the same to any JW or a christian that I come across

  As per Bible's sin redemption formula, Lazarus should be alive today as a living example of resurrection and eternal life. All the scientists of the world should have experimented on Lazarus and unanimously agreed that his cells replicate themselves perfectly, with anti aging properties and there is no way he could die. Lazarus should have been given an accommodation in the Watchtower suites and should give Public talks all around the world, about his resurrection testimony and his enormous life experiences for 2017 years or so...(Unless other christian denominations snatch him)

  Almost 90% Of JWs are embarrassed about their own beliefs and are always hesitant to open up a conversation to the public and they all do it for counting hours only. This was my experience in the Cult and I had also been doing the same.

  Welcome Smiddy

  Cold Steel. Thanks for your long explanation but anything from the Bible doesn't impress me now, as I had found it to be a collection of myths and superstitions, a long time ago

  Singapore is a tiny, beautiful and economically powerful country in SE Asia. All religions are allowed there except the Jehaovah's Witnesses and another Christian denomination. JWs are banned because they don’t serve the military and all Singapore Citizens are required to serve in the military for a while.

  The JWs are banned in Singapore since 1972.

  Jehovah being such a powerful GOD, (As we all once believed), cant remove the ban in Singapore for his most important preaching work. If this JW religion is all real, Cant Jah lift the ban in Singapore in no time. All the Babylonian religions are free to Practice there but not the true Religion, worshiping the true Almighty god.

  There is a huge Hindu temple in Singapore, dedicated to Lord Muruga, a prominent Indian God. I can only conclude that Jehovah is less powerful than Muruga, assuming both GODs are real.

  Jehovah, the almighty owner of this Universe, is not allowed in a tiny nation. Poor thing, this Jah!

  we all know watchtower doesn't encourage their members do research for themselves.

  can anyone point out any articles where it mentions this?

  any help would be appreciated.

  When I was in , I was advised that the Governing Body members are equivalent to qualified research Scholars and know everything and we should only stick on to their Explanations, no matter even if we don't understand them.

  In their terminology, Research means digging it from their own publications. This sounded weird to me even then, and may be that's why I turned out to be an Apostate.

  Watchtower teaches that Jesus dying on the stake is no longer certain

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has held for many years that jesus died on a stake and held strongly to this teaching.

  w 1951 3/15 the above agrees with the new world translation of the christian greek scriptures in its appendix, page 769, in saying that the instrument upon which jesus was nailed was a stake without a crossbeam, and not the religiously represented “cross”; and that the greek word used for that instrument in ancient time meant a “stake” and not the conventional religious cross.

  they are no longer certain on this point.

  First of all why does an innocent man need to die for others(Sinners). Isn't this injustice ?

  Moreover, what has Jesus Death brought for mankind ? Nothing, except the illusionary and hypothetical reasoning that he died for us , washed our sins and paid the ransom. Even if we accept this nonsensical human ransom theory, shouldn't have Jesus Death eliminated all sufferings and brought a Paradise Earth, right then and there ? When the price is paid, we get the benefit. That's how things work, right from the beginning.

  Whether he died on a cross or a stake is another empty argument and reasoning based on a useless outcome.

  The spinning blade of a Sword and the 2 Angels guarding the gate....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.

  do people really believe that as a fact?.

  seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!

  Flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of Eden" is all real and exists until now. But invisible , just like Jesus ruling invisibly now.
