  love, miss bohm.

  Embarrassed myself by following WT dating advice

  i was a good little dubby.

  i tried to keep up with studying, only had jw friends, and always followed what the wt pubs said about how to date.

  if there was a brother that i was interested in, i'd ask if it would be okay to get to know him better.

  same here! I felt like an awkward school boy until i broke free and even then I had alot of trouble! I was in my late twentys before I started to get it right but once it clicked I could talk ass out of Ellen D! Found Christ and a wife thank God before my unit fell off! I was making up for supressed puberty I reckon...LOL!

  My father served as an elder and told me recently that when counting the partakers, only baptised publishers in good standing were to be counted! On the other hand those in attendance were all counted if they had the breath of life in them!

  When did Jehovah's Witnesses begin to consider their religion the one true religion?

  yesterday, my wife and i was going for a walk in the neighborhood.

  she was carrying my niece and commenting on how heavy she is.

  i told her that apparently her sister has to carry her child, diaper bag, and her things to the bus stop every morning.

  madJW I noticed that you pointed to the use of the name Jehovah and Yahweh and also asked who else is involved in the preaching of"The good news of the Kingdom" worldwide as proof that the Watchtower is the true Religion! Well to start with the "Good News of the Kingdom" as preached in Jesus day was this.... "behold the kingdom is at hand". This clearly was not some futuristic event but was proclaimed by Jesus many times to be near! How so? Jesus many times reffered to the Kingdom as being the "Kingdom of Heaven" which according to Jesus was no Part of this world! Wouldn't it be safe to say that the good news as JW's preach it is the Kingdom of the earth? This is in no way a continuance of the message that Jesus spoke of... it is a "new" gospel which paul said should not be received! I challenge you to show me the scriptures that show that Jesus will return this Earth to a Paradise for believers! Jesus asked Lazurus sister this"he who believes in me will never die at all,do you believe this"! Well, did she die? That would depend alot on your belief in a heavenly resurection or an earthly one. My heavenly resurection belief does not contradict Jesus' teachings at all in that although the flesh perished her spirit was recieved by Jesus into his Kingdom! I encourage you to read Corinthians as if it applies to you and not just some elite group in brookland NY. Read what Stephens' hope was as he was being stoned by the self rightouse Jews of the day in Acts!I promise you will understand what I'm speaking of about the ressurection! And then please read Hebrews the 11th chapter to learn the hope of Abraham, Issac, Sarah and other faithful ones of old! The watchtower would have you labor from door to door teaching that these ones will be resurected to paradise earth but this is not in harmony with the scriptures! Jesus said "woe to you scribes and pharasies, you shut up the kingdom of heavens before men, you do not let others enter nor do you yourselves go in".

  As far as the use of the name Jehovah the new Watchtower admits that the name does not exist in ANY of the original greek manuscripts! The reason is Simple! That there is no other name by which you must be saved in heaven or on earth other than that of Jesus Christ! In honor and worship of that name we bring honor to the father, through the son! Paul speaks of being persecuted for the name of Christ Jesus by the jews whom your organization claims used the name Jehovah! If it were proper to do then wasn't Paul rightfully persecuted for preaching and honoring Jesus instead of using the name of the father as you portray it to have been used? Doesn't the Watchtower persecute Christianity today through there literature and door to door ministry for the same reason? I often think of how simular the JW's are to the Jews of Pauls day and they are never spoken of very highly by Jesus, his Apostles, or the Holy Spirit! I do not judge you but you must judge for yourself what He thinks of an organization that claims that he has returned and has taken upon itself the right to stop preaching the Kingdom as he preached it! I myself will continue to preach the kingdom of the heavens As Christ preached it until he tells me to stop with his own mouth and no man or organization can shut it!

  Emotional blackmail in this cult sadly works

  by troubled mind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night my husband and i were out having ice cream @ culvers when we noticed a group of jws coming in after their meeting .. it seemed a celebration for one family.

  we saw the father of the family was all dressed up and associating with everyone .

  he had da'd himself over 20 yrs ago and has been blacklisted from family and friends this whole time .i guessed last night was his reinstatement to the cult .

  Would a definite article prove that Jesus is God?

  by solafide in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from what i've studied of jw's, john 1:1 is interpreted as "and the logos was (a) god".

  therefore, because there is no definite article in john 1:1 for example, one supposedly cannot confirm that jesus is referred to as "the god".

  so my question for the jw is "what if jesus were reffered to with a definite article in the nt"?
