  1 John 5:13-20 Jesus is the true God?

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the main things i am trying to wrap my head around after waking up to the nonsense of jw.org is the deity of christ.. jws go out of their way to ignore him, it seems to me.

  they make him out to be an angel or something.

  yet, if one simply reads the scriptures, you get an entirely different picture.. doing some bible reading this morning i accidentally (long story) read the latter part of 1 john 5 and it's good stuff.. after reading it in the niv i read it in nwt and it is still pretty amazing even in that abomination of a translation.. it says.... 13 i write you these things so that you may know that you have life everlasting, you who put your faith in the name of the son of god.

  Jesus didn't write a single word in the Bible. Did he ? No historical evidence of his existence and his supposed miracles. Are there any ? Nothing that he promised happened so far. Then why to "Search for a black cat in a dark room where there is no cat at all"

  Your View Of Death How Much Does It Effect The Way You Look At The World Around You?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  lets face it the watchtower's indoctrinations effect the way we look at the world we see governments as tool of the devil.

  we look at our relatives different, we will not speak to our own children if disfellowshipped.. a better world is what christians promise believers, or hell for those condemned by the deity.

  kiss the ass of the deity and go to a better world, and don't forget to put something in the collection plate on sunday.. to face death with out the crutch of a future better world for beleivers, is better, as you can cherish the life you are living and be more in the present while facing what ever life throws at you.

  not a peep about all victims, not even a prayer for them.

  only pray for jws.

  and who or what is jehovah's loving arm of support?

  So Jehovah doesn't prevent the mounting disaster, but offers his arm of support. True that only Zombies can swallow such reasoning.

  The true essence of the Bible—there is some problem with it?!

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the famous aesop fable, we read about a fox who unsuccessfully tried to get some grapes, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “i am sure they are sour.”.

  someone made a second part to this story.

  fox did some rehearsal in the night and came on to the scene next day, and jumped with difference and got the grapes from the vine tree, and he began to eat to his full capacity.

  This is a great thread.

  Once the ransom is paid the captive should be freed. Once a person finishes his Jail Sentence for the crime he committed, he is free of his crime - Means, he paid for it.

  But in this bizarre concept of Christian Ransom, Jesus died for our sins but we still suffer with the consequences of sins.

  ICor 15:42: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised up in in corruption.

  If that is so, then Lazarus was resurrected without Corruption (Without Sin) and a person without sin is perfect and should be living eternally. Why did he die AGAIN?

  Hebrews 9: 27 and as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this a judgment
  

  As per above, death is only once for mankind. But why did the resurrected die again?

  The Wages of Sin is death. Once a person received his wages, he had got what he deserved, for the services(Or Sin) he had done. So Sin gets nullified for the resurrected ones. Then why did the resurrected Zombies die again

  Advice on family waking up to TTATT

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you've been following my posts here, i am physically in and mentally out.

  it's so hard because i wish that my family could wake up just as easily as i did.

  the other day i had a conversation with a relative regarding whether they have come to terms with their own mortality and they replied that they try not to think about it too much but also said that it's possible that armageddon would even happen long after they are gone, which i thought was a very interesting thought.. maybe it's just me, but i feel like what made me wake up easily was that i've always had little doubts here and there but this was stuff like me being unable to grasp the concept of how one could be anointed and how would you know if you were.

  I would recommend gauging your parents and whoever is still in. Gauging in the sense, just try to predict what would be the worst they would do if you became an apostate. Based on that, decide whether you should get along or at least be PIMO.

  I did this in my life. My wife and mom are still JWs. Once I decided that they would not shun me, I wrote my letter of disassociation. My relationship with them continues as happy as Usual. No repercussions!

  Very often I still try to plant seeds of doubt in them. It ends up in a heated argument for a few minutes and then love takes over..

  judgement and resurrection

  another inconsistency in wt theology:.

  jw believe, when armegeddon comes, only jw will survive.

  good news was preached in most areas and people could decide for or against god.

  JWs are preaching freely in India for the past 97 years. Still hardly anyone knows about them or the Big J. I used to wonder about this very often, when I was in.

  Big events/developments which Bible failed to foresee!

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  though bible made prophecies about “wars and rumors of war, famines and earthquakes, and persecution, hatred …” as signs of “last days” (mathew 24:6-11) which are neither specific nor extra-ordinary given the history of such events, it failed to foresee the positive development such as communication revolution (e.g.

  tv, internet, mobile phone …) which is also favorable to preaching activity—the whole world can be preached to within a matter of hours.

  [bible writers thought it would take at least 21 centuries for the whole world to be preached to.—mathew 24:14].

  If Bible was really the word of God, at least the following should be contained in the Bible:

  Germ theory - Reason behind how germs, bacteria and pathogens attack or benefit other living things.

  Astronomy - Should have mentioned the simple science of this solar system, planets, stars and galaxies.

  Physiology of human body- How the human body (At least humans) works and is made up of.

  Rather, there is nothing beneficial for mankind about the following that are mentioned:

  Earthquakes, Famines, Diseases are caused by sins, slaughter, blood shed, incest, talking snakes and donkeys, Solomons 600 wives and 300 concubines, Genealogy of Jesus(Contradiction here again) and other nomads, women inferior to men, a hypothetical ransom sacrifice…..

  Some Things Just Dont Add Up, How Did We Miss This???

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  some things i just didnt notice at the time which now seem so obvious:.

  the bible tells us that the end will come like a thief in the night, when we least expect it.

  (matthew 24:44).

  Adding my 2 cents

  Lot was seduced by his daughters to produce offspring. Genesis 19: 30-38
  

  Women, who cannot prove their virginity in their marriage bed, should be stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 22:13-21)

  Lot offers his daughters to be raped by perverted men. (Genesis 19: 8 )
  

  If a man rapes a woman he can give 50 shekels to the girl’s father and marry her. (Deuteronomy 22: 28)

  Despite the above humiliation(And many more), women are the larger army in JWs and Christendom.

  "Only Witnesses demonstrate Christian Love"

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so a couple of nights ago i was speaking with a relative and we began talking about the organization.

  i had to asked her "why do you believe that this religion is the correct one?

  " they stood quiet for a second but then said that they view and feel genuine christian love, a type of love that is spoken about in the bible.

  For “still” Christians.

  What is Christian Love anyway ? Jesus commanded his followers to hate their families and come after him. Luke 14:26 How do you formulate Christian love out of this ?

  If I want to stop thinking on my own, I can return to the truth and let my brain snooze off.
