NWT is soooo inaccurate....
by iwasblind inhi this is for the lurkers.. please start reading from another translation and use tools like www.biblehub.com to verify the differences you find.. biblehub has an interlinear and a strongs concordance and heaps of dictionaries and commentaries.. you don't have to be a translator but you can clearly see how the watchtower bible and tract society has changed the bible to devalue jesus, to support their idea of a paradise earth hope for christians and many other false doctrines.. i could never understand why the jw's where attacked when they chose to translate the bible - now i know.. seriously people, there are a lot smarter people than me on this forum and heaps of research.

don't be afraid of the truth!.

The Watchtower Writers need to answer this question "Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history!"
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inhow come the watchtower will not side with christendom and address a topic like the following?
what if christendom had allowed islam to spread it's plunder into europe without a fight and great force?
i direct your attention to islam spreading not as a distraction, but to ask the question most atheist have asked me when we talk of this subject.

"Do not be called teachers"--Doesn't Jesus OUTLAW all organized religion?
by humbled injw's and other churches all set up housekeeping in different theological areas.
some one person can't believe any more what their church is saying, gets a different "take" on god, and......starts trying to convince others to follow them and everything they teach.. nothing new about that.
but why are so many of us blind to this scenario: we allow that some people get to contemplate other thoughts and others are not allowed.only some lead and everyone else must follow or be thrown out.

2013 DC Recording
by turtleturtle inafter listening to the 2013 dc recording entitled "human apostates", i have this to say.
this group of men (gb) have made themselves an enemy of logic and truth.
their tactics and propaganda smack of christendom's techniques to keep membership.

What is the most damning watchtower publication?
by zound ini want to purchase a couple of vintage watchtower publications to help in my helping jw's break free.
some of the older ones are expensive or hard to come by - i know you can buy them on cd's but i'd like to own one or two of the "classics of propaganda"- some of the ones that speak for themselves as to the ridiculousness of this religion.. of course any magazine i pick up today speaks to me of the ridiculousness, but you need something much more hardcore for the jw's.. any recommendations?.
"children" has some pretty good quotes in it..

The Experts- Jehovahs Witnesses
by jean-luc picard ini was thinking this weekend of a brother i first met when i was a teenager.. not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.. an inexperienced teen, i also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.. looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, i now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.. he later became an elder and i might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance .
but he had no education.
no schooling.

Governing Body theft: Catholic 'magisterium' and kicking CHRIST out of christianity
by Terry inthe catholic church is founded upon magisterium which is the doctrine that jesus began a long succession of priests who administered his kingdom work and education through peter and his subsequent popes.
moreover, jesus gave this catholic church the right to make policy which heaven would back up with divine authority.. the protestant reformation nullified this idea by presenting a rival doctrine of sola scriptura which is the doctrine that no priesthood is necessary for an individual human being.
sola scriptura says one man and one bible is what god will work through directly as long as jesus is invoked as the mediator.. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses coalesce around the doctrine that the magisterium applies to them as "anointed" and no lone ranger christian can go around them.. in one fell swoop jw's stole the catholic doctrine and stepped on the protestant alternative!.
