There are interesting similarities between RCs and JWs. They traditionally view their org as the saving ark, they have a meditorial clergy though the JWs speak of elders and governing body and none of them worship Jesus as their only God. Similarities between JW and Islam? Well, works. The Muslims seem to hold Muhammed in higher esteem than the JWs hold Jesus

JWs closer to Islam than to Christianity.
by Lost in the fog inok, so i know that the following article is from a roman catholic church blogger, but i thought that his ratios and comparisons were very well set out, if anyone else is interested.

True, ideas and reading does not turn one either way. Faith in God is something you either have or have not. That is basically the problem with much evangelism. It tries to convert people that are not fertile grounds. You can force such people but to no good outcome

Animals as vegetarians thread continued
by Crazyguy2 ini found out just last night that back in 2015 scientists discovered a piece of amber estimated to be over 15 million years old.
inside the amber was a flea, very similar to the size and kind that attack and eat our blood today.
whats even more astonishing is in the mouth they found bacteria that has the same make up as bubonic plague.

It seems the JWs never made up their mind; OEC or YEC. If you are to choose between the two, YEC has proven easier to preach.

Coronavirus: Punishment from Jehovah and a sign from Jesus!
by lastmanstanding inthe watchtower has taught for over a century that plague is part of jesus’ sign letting earth know he’s lurkin’.... combined with the recent acceleration by the chinese gubmint of ejecting jws from china, it’s no surprise that dubs are of the belief that ‘jehovah is punishing china’.. dubs must be expecting a few large earthquakes to strike china in the next weeks with possibly a war or two, to round out the pain of jesus’ sign to these wicked jehovah haters..

Well new viruses may be Mother nature's way to punish China for her overpopulation, abuse and dirtyness. As modern humanists we hate the idea, but she will probably solve the earth's overpopulation her own way if God does not intervene. I fear that is more likely than mankind evacuating to outer space or the third world learning to make use of the condoms we should give them

The future of the Watchtower Society
by mickygrey ini left way back in 2002, seems a long time ago now and i haven't really kept up with any developments since.. i've kept one ear open and noticed recently there is talk of the wt being investigated over the sex abuse cover ups, but over the years this story has come in and out of the news.. what is everybody's predictions as to the future of the borg?
i know what most people want to happen, but realistically, are we just looking at certain elements being hit because of the restructuring they did a few years ago to protect from this very thing?
looking further ahead, you'd like to think that more people would wake up?

It is hard to make prophecy, the JWs know that. I am sure they will change some doctrines like 1914, but the harsh rules are needed if you want numbers. If they give up on refusing to participate in military, blood doctrine and shunning, they will loose most of their millions of followers. Some need that stuff and they are ready to provide -

What Jesus could / should have said if....?
by smiddy3 inif jehovah god had purposed followers of jesus to be called jehovah`s witnesses , jesus christ had the perfect opportunity to instruct them to do so .. the fact that he didn`t and the overwhelming evidence in the new testament that followers of jesus were to be witnesses of jesus christ as the only means to come to the father jehovah god.. sciptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jesus 20+ , scriptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah in the new testament ?
none / zero .. not the wtb&ts or the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses but only by bearing witness to jesus as his witnesses.. and here is the proof not by what jesus said but what he didn`t say when he had the opportunity to do so.. when many stopped following jesus because they were shocked by what he was saying .john 6 :67-69.
"therefore jesus said to the twelve ,you do not want to go also do you?

1 John 5:20-21 gives an example of how it is impossible to separate God and the Son. Scholars may argue who "this is the true God and eternal life" in verse 20 points to. You can not seperate him who is true from his Son. They are both the one true God opposed to idols. The Jw org made the logical conclusion of their mistake. Unlike God's angels they do not worship the Son, unlike the Hebrews author they do not identify the Son with Jehovah (Hebrews 1:6-12). -

The salvation offered in the gospel is for his name's sake 1 John 2:12. We bow and confess Jesus is Lord to the glory of God or as it says in Isaiah to God himself Philippines 2:11, Isaiah 45:23. So the sovereignity of God can not be separated from his salvation. God created for his glory and pleasure Revelation 4:11. We are made for God=Jesus, not the other way around ☺️

Increasing number of memorial partakers. It is incredible that they can deceive people that see themselves as believers and Christians to reject the symbols; "no Jesus, I dont want you" is really what it says. All due to Rutherfords unique speculations. Maybe a small rebellion is on the way?
