I now consider myself to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses
by jaffacake insix months ago i knew nothing about the watchtowe religion.
i had not read my bible for more than 25 years, and had gradually drifted between atheism and agnosticism, without giving any thought to what those terms meant.
then my lifelong friends started studying with jws.

I need advice about my studies with JWs
by jaffacake inhit my first real hurdle studying with an elder.
i couldn't accept acts 15 as a basis for a governing body.
instead of studying the chapter i was diverted to the fds, the 144,000. i couldn't see any link with the little flock.

What is the most accurate translation....
by jaffacake ini have just read a couple of excellent booklets ordered from r watters freeminds site dealing with the tetragrammaton.
the nwt seems to be an accurate translation of hebrew scriptures, and correctly reinstates an english alternative to the tetragrammaton.
but they nwt new testament is wholly unacceptable (although the kingdom interlinear portoin seems excellent).

Can someone tell me whether a 1970s Watchtower .............
by jaffacake inclearly stated that christ is not the mediator for christians today, not even jehovah's witnesses.
but that he is only the mediator for the faithful & discreet slave class.
it then follows that most of the bible was not written for the rest of us who must rely on the eartly organisation as our mediator for salvation.

Can you answer a baptism question
by jaffacake in.
someone got baptised last week, and their partner who was present (i was not) says she was baptised in the name of the father, son and holy spirit, not a spirit-led organisation.
he says the 2 questions did not refer to the organisation.. is he mistaken?

Just had my first ever study with a JW
by jaffacake ini wanted to ask questions about the organisation, but he looked me in the eye & ignored my questions to pursue his agenda.. he listed about 15 topics for us to study, to prove only jws are based on 1st century christianity.
i got him to agree not to attack other religions, (proving them false does not prove jws true) he agreed with this but then went on to criticise other religions!
next week i'll be firmer on this point!.
