Proof that Satan is in control of the WT and THAT is why the new change will come.....
by EndofMysteries in

2. beliefs
if anybody ever read the two babylons book, it detailed how christianity became corrupt.

how over time, not on the spot, but slowly changes were implemented, it started with forbidding anybody to read or hold the bible, and only the leader/pope etc could teach, once there was full absolute power, then satan was able to put in anything he wanted to corrupt it all.

i am not going to list the articles and scriptures, everybody can find those, i'm just going to quickly show from the history to now how it's happened and the proof and what is happening now.

2. beliefs
i noticed in the "magic" thread many former jw's no longer adhere to the bible as the unerring and accurate word of god.

if you feel this way, can you please list any specific reasons/arguments as to why not.

this thread isn't for debating purposes, but simply for listing.

1. jw
2. friends
just like in another thread a saw, the best way to deal with my jws is not debating or arguing, but instead posing questions for them to answer or not answer.

i want to come up with specific questions relating to the 'global flood' that completely debunk it.

what say you, jw.net?.

Scriptures seem to hint that Jehovah/Yahweh is a SON of God?
by EndofMysteries in
1. watchtower
2. bible
after the past few years of trying to really figure out what the bible is teaching and no influence, one of the things has been that possibly the god of the israelites may have been a son.

i want feedback on what i am about to show.

this is the tip of the iceberg, just one angle of what may be going on.

New World Translation Assaults on Language and Phrases that Always Wigged Me Out!
by DarioKehl in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i listened to the august 4th episode of the healingxjws podcast where they interviewed a former jw circuit overseer.

he shared many great examples of how original meanings (especially poetry) were lost in this terrible translation.

it's worth listening to.

Daniel 8:20,21 - what do secular authorities say?
by konceptual99 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i am looking for anything that suggests there is a rational explaination for daniel apparently predicting the rise of greece as a world power.

there is some stuff online suggesting that scholars years ago thought it was modified over time but evidence points to it having been written in the 6th centuary bc and they have been forced to correct their view.. is there anything anywhere that presents the accepted secular view of this passage?.

cheers.

Did Israel's Leader come from Bethlehem?
by Doug Mason in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the july 2012 issue of awake!

states that the narratives of jesus birth show that the bible is a book of accurate prophecy.. the aim of this study is to find out what the birth narratives do reveal about the nature of the bible.. what does investigation of the writings of micah, matthew, and luke reveal about the way that the bible should be read and applied?.

does this investigation open the door to a better comprehension of the nature of scripture?.
