Ex-JWs, does the WTS still teach this?
by A-Team in"when jesus was on earth as a man, he was a hebrew, and now in his capacity as jehovah's royal executioner he is called by the hebrew name abad'don, which mean destruction.
in the greek in which the inspired christian scriptures were written his similar title is apollyon, which means destroyer" (watchtower, 12/1/1961, pg.
abaddon (hebrew:????

I think I may know how the JWs came up with the 607 BCE date...
by A-Team inand it's really simple and silly error, if you are not careful...but the main mistake is hiding the error.
they counted the wrong way from 597 bce, the year that zedekiah's reign as king of judah started.
once someone inside the wts caught wind of this error, they had to change the date of zedekiah's reign from 597 bce to 617 bce, to make their entire theology fit, or their theology whould have been shot to bits.

Women aren't suppose to be ministers..says who?
by A-Team ini've been hearing this from the 7 day advantist, church of christ and jws, and was show 1 cor 14:36 as proof.
but, i decided to read the context of the verse....and it paints a different picture, atleast imo (ps i am not saying that females should be heads of congerations, now that is out of order.
) i'm using the message translation, for clarity.

What the WT Mag says you need to belive if you want to become a JW.
by A-Team in8/22/86, questions from readers excerpt.
*** approved association with jehovah's witnesses requires accepting the entire range of the true teachings of the bible, including those scriptural beliefs that are unique to jehovah's witnesses.
what do such beliefs include?

Lurkers, I have a legit question, that is mind boggling to me.
by A-Team in#1, 1 cor 10:9. the nwt translation puts the word jehovah in place for christ.
yet, when using the kit greek,my greek, and a online greek bible, christos is written in the chapter, and not jehovah....yet many jws will argue up and down that jehovah is to be there....dispite the fact that the greek word for jehovah was never even used.
how can one logically argue that christ is not suppose to be there, when their won greek translation has it in there??

What would happen if all of the "annnointed Ones" die before Jesus returns?
by A-Team in.....this is a hypothetical.
most of us know that they will change doctrine in order to keep this going.
but, if somehow the doctrine isn't changed, and there are no more 'anointed ones' left in the org....and if jesus hasn't returned yet...what happens then?
