  Jwfacts-- Why So Many Contradictions?

  by Recovery in

  2. beliefs

  i am well aware that many members of this board adhere to the view that the wt and/or the bible is contradictory.

  the question is: if paul grundy is so enlightened as to 'the truth about the truth', why is he so contradictory?.

  jwfacts to me (in a personal message): "much of the information at jwfacts.com is from the research of people far more gifted then me,and comes from jwn.

  i am now addressing all statements that have not been responded to in the original magic thread.

  hopefully this clears up the misconception that i am ignoring arguments and cannot offer a strong defense of my stance on miracles/magic.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/238004/15/jwfacts-why-do-you-equate-miracles-with-magic.

  starting with page 16..

  Jwfacts-- More Lies But This Time About The Great Crowd

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jwfacts has an article that explains why the great crowd must be in heaven.

  i am also aware that many of these are the same arguments that stemmed from the 'awakenings at bethel' so my statements are not simply attacks of jwfact's character (since these arguments are probably not original) but rather his copy and paste of what others have said instead of verifying it as 'fact' for himself.. so here are jwfacts arguments:.

  1. he shows that russell and rutherford (at some point) believed that the great crowd were in heaven.. 2. each term that describes the great crowd of revelation 7 is else used to described the anointed by the wt.

  The Bible-- Full of Errors And Inconsistencies?

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i noticed in the "magic" thread many former jw's no longer adhere to the bible as the unerring and accurate word of god.

  if you feel this way, can you please list any specific reasons/arguments as to why not.

  this thread isn't for debating purposes, but simply for listing.

  Jwfacts, Why Do You Equate Miracles With Magic?

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a question for the author of the website jwfacts.

  as i was reading the sparlock article, i couldn't help but notice something seriously wrong:.

  "the bible abounds in vivid fantasy, such as its many celestial descriptions, or the portrayal of warring kingdoms with imaginary beasts.. the sparlock message is confusing, as much for an adult as for a child, as the bible shows that god's followers practice magic, even if they are usually referred to as miracles.

  is there such a thing as progressive understanding of god's will?

  a simple yes or no will suffice, but if you'd like to state why, please by all means do so..

  Finally! -- Why the WTS Discourages Higher Education

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm sure many of you have been wondering why the wts has stuck to it's adamant viewpoint of higher education.

  let's settle it once and for all.

  this will prove conclusively why it's in young people's best interests to avoid higher education.. candace conti has inspired hundreds, perhaps thousands of young girls across america to successfully take on the wts.

  Let's Discuss Ray Franz's Books

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been repeatedly pleaded with to read the books of ray franz in my short stay on this board.

  apparently these are all the all-powerful, wt crushing arguments, that lead so many to leave jw's and become ruthless opposers of god's people.

  we can discuss any claims/statements/scriptural arguments presented in either of his books, as long as it somehow proves jehovah's witnesses are not god's people.
