138Jehovah God is Real
by TakeOffTheCrown inthere are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

Christianity is a belief that you are reconciled to God though having a personal relationship with Jesus christ. That is the story of the new testament. Becoming born again. Entering into the new conevant.
As a jehovah witness you believe that is only for the annoited that are sorely represented by the governing body. These are the only ones that have this relationship. Though your works and obedience to these men you will be saved.
For example if you have a certain decision to make , you wouldnt pray it about and expect your conscience to drive your decision. The you look to jw.org and see what the society says about it.
The idea you have some kind of super natural relationship with jehovah god goes against what the society teaches.
I know the borg talk about your relationship with jehovah and how important it is to pray and such but you really have to look at what they teach.
It's all for show.

Actually if you child gets hit by a drunk driver and is bleeding to death, as a jehovah witness there is no point praying. It's your duty is to let your child die.
The entire premise of the religion is you have no personal relationship with God. Jesus only died to give us the faithful slave. It's your works and obedience to these men , that is your salvation.
You have no relationship with God. Don't try this Joel Osteen bullshit with you. You are a fraud.

I really don't understand the supernatural declarations of faith as a jehovah witness.
The entire premise of the religion is you are not able to have a personal relationship with God, it's only for the annoited.

That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.
by new boy init seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.
it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.
something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

We had an elder in our hall who had his kidneys fail and I just assumed I was going to a funeral real quick. I didn't think kidney dialysis was premitted. ( the act of removing the blood from the body and cleaning it and injecting it back.).
Yet we are not allowed to store our own blood for surgery .

Birth of my son
Getting my heart broken at 18 years old. Diffinetly a positive experience. It taught me time really does heal old wounds and sex doesn't mean love.
Watching a high school crush of seven years marry another guy. Funny thing is we did reconnect years later and told me she thought of me often.
Reading a book called the two powers in heaven, basically explaining the plurality of old testament god and who new testament thought jesus was. It literally destroyed any chance of me ever getting baptized or taking the Wts with any seriousness.

JWs kinda admit to not being Christian
by NikL induring the book study which is basically a book all about the history of "gods organization" ©.
a paragraph that hit me like a ton of the proverbial bricks was this.... 9 first, jehovah’s servants came to have the proper view of the importance of god’s name.
faithful early bible students viewed the ransom arrangement as the bible’s main teaching.

I saw this speaker talk once about " the name of god " and starting using old testament examples. We are protected by name of god, the name of god is in him, the name traveled to met us. The ark of the conevant is call the name. Etc etc.
What it really means is the essence or power of God. It often just used to refer to God himself. It Hebrew it is called the shema.
It has nothing to do with four letters or just saying a magical word. The jw have reduced the bible to Harry Potter on this issue.

Jesus in the old testament
by Steel inabout two years ago i was challenged by a householder to do the research on the subject.
of course thinking it was all bunk i decided to take a look off the reservation.
much to my surprise a lot of started to make sense and i started to understand the connections between the old and new testament .

Something else I find odd once I understand who bible scholars though jesus was in the old testament, the proof texts jws use to try and disprove jesus being god really mean nothing. I think the most quoted being " there is one true God the Father and one he sent forth jesus christ".
