the title should be “ the watchtower’s (sort of) apology for 1975 ….. sorry.
january 1st 1976, i remember that day when i heard a radio disc jockey gleefully announce that the world had not ended as jehovah’s witnesses had said it would .
It was.
You go to a church, which tells you NOTHING of what the Bible really says.
I'm a witness of Jehovah and Jesus- nothing will ever change that.
Does the GB have the spirit of the 12 apostles? It would seem so. They will have to answers for themselves.
Yet they have promoted the Truth of God's word thru us!
i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.
Oh, J- if only you KNEW!
I first doubted the Bible, and then what the WTBS was showing me.
And that was just the START!
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.
What about THIS, J~
James 2:24- You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
2:26- As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

I am a JW.
I DON'T.
I see Jehovah as God, the 'Org' (meaning the GB) just as men.
Since you realize He doesn't lie, you aren't going to a church?

" take other examples of contradictions such as "works vs grace" "
What contradictions, Abe1?
James 2: 18- But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

Where? Churches? Taking on Atheism?
Good question- I can't stomach the meetings. ZOOM or in person.
I often wonder about the faithful remaining in Israel after a Kind that was corrupt!
But I still have FAITH- even stronger than EVER! I guess I have the spirit to thank for that!
