let's talk about Holy Communion and the WTS "non-communion"
by potentialJWconvertswife inhere's the question: why do the whole memorial thing if (i'm assuming) there will be few or (in most cases) no one actually taking the sacrament?
and what reason does the wts give for saying only anointed can partake?
are there any examples of the disciples administering holy communion to any regular folks?

?ing the JW intro DVD
by potentialJWconvertswife inokay, so i've seen the first boring part of the dvd singing the praises of the wts for their wonderful literature and dedication to distributing it in hopes of enlightening the masses.
now gearing up to watch part 2- "our whole association of brothers" -or something like that.
i plan on taking notes regarding questionable beliefs, etc.

No one comes to the Father but through Me
by JH incan anyone explain to me what "no one comes to the father but through me" means ?.
i told my mom, who is getting baptized tomorrow in the baptist faith, that we have to pray to the father, not jesus like they do.
she told me that they pray to jesus because jesus said, "no one comes to the father but through me", so they pray to jesus directly, and then he relays the prayer to the father.

Lurkers and Newbies..please read appendix 1-D in the NWT Fraud Bible....
by oompa inyou will see two major things in the reference bible.....1-that the inspired word has been changed....altered by satan and apostates...they took gods name out of the greek scriptures....check the insight book under jehovah and you will find that there is not a single ancient manuscript in the greek scriptures that contains the divine name.
2- you will notice that appendix 1-d tells us that they have "restored" the divine name in the greek scriptures where it was quoting from the hebrew scriptures.
there is no manuscript support for doing this, but what is worse is that they don't tell you they have also put it in the nwt wherever the hell they feel like it!!

in defense of the Holy Trinity
by potentialJWconvertswife ini need some help on the holy trinity.
my husband is studying with the witnesses (he's not one of them yet), and is totally buying into the idea that god, jesus and the holy spirit are all separate, not (as i've tried to explain) separate, but also one in the trinity.
i have pointed out the scriptures in john that reference god as the word, and then jesus as the word later.

Convention time!
by jacethespace inhow many of you attended a convention at a stadium and at the end of the loooonng weekend .
wheres that scripture which says "let another person praise you and not your own mouth" somewhere in proverbs,i guess though it doesnt apply to the governing body as per usual.. i was always suspicious of these boasting sessions at conventions and thought it was nothing but hyped up advertising for the tower.i was also suspicious of all those donation boxes all around the stadium at conventions.a christndom church has one box at the back of the hall as well as plate passing the tower has a box at the hall and hudreds scattered everywhere at a convention/assembly.not much diffrence to me.. it was funny how there was a lot of difficulty to leave the car parks at the end of the day with some cursing others for being in the way and having to que up.then we would leave and remark on being back "in the world".oh no all those mad drivers everywhere now we are out of " paradise" dashing about..
