What are JW relationship between work and WT? I mean when JW is working some work (say secretary), does they report all deeds of company to Elders? Will they "spy" if asked?

skipped another meeting tonight.. won't answer the phone.. scared of the doorbell.. wife wants to stop too but won't commit.. family too important to lose.. tired of the hypocrisy, guilt and fear.. just want my own life.. all that being said: still believe the basic teachings beyond the other pharisaical 75%.. .

Removal of YHWH from Old Testament

by ackack in

part of the jw's argument for the inclusion in the jehovah is that there was a custom to remove it from the old testament.

is that true?

am i even getting the argument right?

Shazard

Well if there would be written YHWH in Old Testametn today, nobody would understand what really is meant by this. There are meny gods and each of them has meny names. And in this case YHWH is just another name of another god. But what really YHWH means is - "The Creator" - the one and only source of whole reality, GOD, CREATOR, LORD. I agree that LORD is not the best substitution for YWHW, better would be "CREATOR" as YHWH stands for "One who brings into beeing". And this is essencial part of Christianity, Christians believe that only Creator is God and only God is creator. If one is not creator it is not God and if one is not God it is not creator.

by Santisimo in

the following is logical and indisputable proof that the religion of the wts is false.

assume that this were a conversation between a jw and a non-believer (non believer shown in red).

this example will show you how clear the logic is:.

Have you ever noticed how "Born-Agains" get angry when you don't believe?

since you have been out of the jw's have you ever noticed how born-again christians get angry when you don't believe in their "interpretation of the bible"?

it never fails since i have been out for over 15 years when i run across a born-again and they don't know my past they will try to force their interpretation down my throat until i show them that i am very versed in the old and new testaments.

i know all of the scriptures that they will bring up and if i disagree with them then i am going to "hell" according to them.

>"We have different beliefs about some things but I accept your viewpoint on that passage." If I heard a Christian tell me that I would >probably have a heart attack from shock. Common. You want someone who does not agree with you to accept you? How that's possible. I can admit that we don't agree, and that means that I do not accept your interpretation. Or I can accept your interpretation, and then I do agree with you. But you can't have it and eat it!
