  CO retirement severance?

  by road to nowhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend says the wt gives a substantial sum to retiring cos. he says one bought land and built near him, a desirable rural area.

  i think it must have been saved green handshake money or inherited.. btw this man also thinks the gb are the smartest men alive..

  New World Translation is not much different other translations

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  key scripture 2 timothy 3:16 should have been translated as “every scripture inspired of god is also profitable for teaching” like many other serious translations (such as american standard version ; douay-rheims bible etc) as it is what the greek text says.. this is in harmony with the contents of bible and also with the writer paul himself who knew after his departure ‘even from his own number men will arise and distort the truth.’ (acts 20:29-30) for example, verses such as romans 7:19 is such distortion.

  such verses cannot originate from real paul who was “holy, righteous and blameless.” (1 thessalonians 2:10) hence paul had the freeness of speech to tell others to be “blameless” like him (1 thessalonians 5:19-23; ephesians 5:24) there are many things in the scriptures which are not inspired such as words of satan, words of job’s wife and his false friends, words of judas, lot’s daughters …etc.

  apostle peter never disowned jesus because if he had done so, his contemporaries would have interrupted him when he rebuked jews, saying: “you disowned the holy and righteous one and asked that a murderer be released to you.“ (acts 3:14) his listeners would have asked him “what right do you have to reprove us for ‘disowning jesus” when you yourself have done it first?” all such verses or accounts were later adoptions.

  "The New World Translation Is Not Much Different From Other Translations!"

  Oh yes it is!

  The NWT is the only Translation at Colossians 1:16 thru 20 that has the word 'other' 5 times incorrectly inserted and so perverts the meaning of these vs:

  "...16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become the one who is first in all things; 19 because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all other things by making peace through the blood he shed on the torture stake, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens."

  Sorry...but the NWT is filled with distortion, baloney & crock from Genesis to Revelation! :-)

  For New Ones!

  every day someone somewhere is being disfellowshipped.

  after the trauma of being cast out and shunned by relatives and friends, many exjw's start an investigation of the watchtower society.. they begin to collect every scrap of evidence they can get their hands on to prove they were lied to.. some of these archives may come in handy.

  if you need something and it is not in an archive somewhere, send me a pm and i'll see if we can get it for you.

  The "Trinity" is not Biblical.

  by Revealed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  simple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.

  .

  so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.

  Clearly joe134cd you're desperate & disturbed by the JW religion's current state of affairs especially in the USA. The next 5 to 10 years do not bode well for this cult... I'm truly sorry!

  If I can think of something to console you further with...anything good to say about this cult...you know I'll reach out to you... Best regards!

  Some may be wondering...why compare the Jehovah’s Witnesses Org to the McDonald's Org ?

  They both produce junk food! :-)

  Why do only 14% of JWs live in the USA...when it's an American based Church group...Why...Why...Why? Soon this 14% will become 13%...then...12%...then 11% & so on!

  Why do upwards of 75% JWs currently live outside of the USA in the most poorest countries? Soon this number will become 80% then...well you get the picture!

  McDonald's Hamburgers Inc has a very strong presence in wealthy countries...with very little presence in the poorest countries. They say at least 85% of Americans eat McDonald's product at least once a year. McDonald's is here to stay!

  How much longer will the WTBTS aka Jehovah’s Witnesses be around? It simply is not sustainable with a 14% and dropping USA presence trend...Yay!...Praise The Lord!...Happy days ahead! :-) :-) :-)

  i just posted this on a seperate thread, but i think it deserves its own thread.

  this is with regard to the pew survey that states “2 out of three 3 born into the jehovah’s witness faith.

  will not remain in the faith as adults.”.

  What has saved and helped the JWs maintain a 1.2 million (meager 14%) presence in the U.S. was the introduction of the cartoon characters Caleb & Sophia some 8 years ago! WT has been pushing very hard 'child baptism' for the past 8 to 10 years in case y'all didn't know/notice!

  If it wasn't for this campaign of 'child baptism' for nearly a decade now...JW membership numbers would be tanking at a much faster pace!

  Thank God for the children and thank God for Caleb & Sophia...we couldn't of done it without you! :-) :-) :-)
