  Not too sure that the GB can prove they are God channel of communication.

  But you could find a "Revelations Its Grand Climax Is At Hand" flip through the first chapters. You will see a picture of Russell. Flip through Insight book more information. Twisting scriptures, the stone would surely cry out...if not for Russell. Crazy to misinterpret Jesus sayings.

  Follow Rusells books Chart of Divine Ages, or Divine Plan of Ages.

  Your husband should do a study on the history.

  For fun order online fold out of Chart of the Ages.

  Here somethinghttps://ia600304.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?zip=/24/items/GreatPyramidPassagesVol21913Edition/1913_Great_Pyramid_Passages_Vol_II_jp2.zip&file=1913_Great_Pyramid_Passages_Vol_II_jp2/1913_Great_Pyramid_Passages_Vol_II_0052.jp2&scale=2&rotate=0

  Check out page 17 or type in 1914.

  I would want to know the beginning of 1914,1915.

  After that who cares about any of it! Shocking!

  ERA machine was use for communication, utterance,speaking in tongues at assemblies, was used for Rutherfords writings. He banned speaking in tongues.

  Anyhow it makes you wonder who they were channelling!

  Strike 3 for the elderette and me! (???) I never heard a JW talk SO much about Jesus!

  miss k and her friend miss w arrived promptly today.

  our scheduled topic of discussion: jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth and the life..." john 14:6 since she was basing this topic choice on the fact that i had quoted that verse, i'm not sure why... she spent what seemed like a very long time, hopping through scriptures that all said that jesus was the truth, the way, or the life.

  ok, so we agreed... i kept waiting for her to get to a point, or sway from this principle.. of course, she summed up with scriptures that show how jesus submits to the father, and what does that mean we should do?

  Jesus card, it must be only because they are celebrating his 100 year kingship.

  Interesting it might be a new way of preaching so householders and bible studies think JWs believe in the biblical Jesus.

  It is a hook.

  just dont know when i'm gonna be able to do that.. right now, i am working full time, i go to school part time, etc.

  i want to start traveling more, doing more activist work, visiting more apostate friends, and helping to get people out of this 'so called religion.'.

  in other words, i want to start going to un-preach where the need is great.

  How about making a tee shirt to wear out. Put something on it that will make any JW think.

  Fake letter from the branch re counting of time

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. experiences

  in another thread, one of our members made up a great satirical letter that sounded like something the society would write about how to count time now.... it included counting all time spent in preparation etc.... (can someone please post the link here??).

  i used the letter, edited it a little, and copied it on to official letterhead for a stir..... it is going on the notice board when i can casually slip in the hall one day..... .

  ahhh...being a stirrer....such fun.....

  Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

  the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.

  the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.

  Jonza,"factfinder: So you believe Jesus is just a Mighty God? not Almighty? So you believe Almighty is greater than just Mighty?"

  I think he means that the Messiah would be called a Mighty God. Never was he referred to as Almighty.

  He would have mighty powers for example perform miracles, but he would was not called Almighty God who would have complete power; omnipotent ability to perform everything. Not just one miracle at a time but thousands which Jesus will learn.

  Jonza "What is funny is that none of you accept the trinity simply because you cannot understand it. It does not make sense to you. Yet the Bible clearly supports the concept. Just because you cannot understand God does not mean He does not exist a certain way. Either Jesus is God and there is only one God, or the Bible is false. Simple as that."

  John 1:1 there are two. The Word was with God.

  Maybe God YHWH declared later Jesus as God as Hebrew 1

  The Spirit of God, is that the same as the Word was with God? I do not think so.

  Other churches makes some good points on what the Spirit can do,however they lack on the Holy Spirit part of Trinity.

  Anyhow there is something unique in The Spirit, so I can no longer play it down like the Wt to just air or wind.

  If people received Holy Spirit third person of Trinity GOD,and it dwells in us we would be a god. joke! We should all be gods like Thor but with different hammers.:-)

  Obvious it just a matter of what everyone believes or not.

  are their any former atheist/agnostic on here who reverted to christianity or a belief in god.

  i became an atheist back in july and it was the most unfulfilling depressive period of my life.

  i'm now starting to rebuild my relationship with god and i'm already starting to feel a lot better.

  Design that made me laugh!

  Sparrow, I did the same! Unfortunately, with time everything changed. Like minded people all moved or went to other kh, and the doctrines changed.

  It is a hard one but some day you might leave again realising that you out grew like minded folks.

  In some odd way that is what we have in common with atheist. :-)

  Anyhow, there is no such thing as a perfect religion so I wish you happiness and peace of mind.

  Sparrow, I had to learn that simple way of Christanity and Jesus hope! I agree with you because Grace is simple. There really is no reasoning to double check the bible for deeper meaning. Now they try to tell me only certain ones God will give a deeper understanding! Bull! Crazy.

  You are so right!

  I doubt any JW could have a heart felt love for Jesus because they are too busy convincing people with smooth words and building "WT Mcmansion." Did you ever notice how many times they expressed "heart felt love" as to convince everyone how they should feel. People heard it so much that it means nothing!

  Grace just feels good!
