  Facing Reality - It's a Death Cult (Romans 6: 7 Examined)

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower view on romans 6: 7 examined .

  the watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.

  so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!

  with that logic, only the wt Armageddon survivors need the ransom and a mediator, because they are the only ones never frying* dying for their sins.

  considering it is contacted in the open and i see other people engaging outdoors on other sales activities why is cart witnessing still not allowed?

  are there any updates as regards returning to this activity any time soon ?.

  Wt could suspect that more confrontations will come in the future for those hapless keepers of the carts, with more savvy jwfacts educated , and/or fanatics with equal zealous delusions on the loose in the streets.

  Local CW shutdowns have happened already before.

  an outdated article, applicable to times when warm body presence was needed. and marriages of already committed pioneers, or folks with backup of well to do parents.

  In today's labour, real estate market/ inflation, even one good earner can not provide solidly for the family or future, and wt has been proven to be very bad predictor of permanent relief. (ask your district overseers about the overlap)

  Beware of the scribes who devour the houses of the widows

  this verse from the gospel of luke came to mind considering how many poor jws donate in the hope that they will get a new kingdom hall only to find out that their money have been stolen..

  when they near death they realize that their hope of never dying has been stolen too, so, they , in desperation will will all their assets to the promiscuous promisor aka wt inc. to have an assured share in the resurrection.

  assets, sometimes even diverted to the first tier of wt enforcers.

  How do you find reddit

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

  for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

  i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

  Not only are JW's false prophets but also the anti-christ! Here's why..

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when we think of "anti " we think being " against".

  but i read somewhere it actually means "in place of" or "substitute" and doesn't the organization think of itself as the only way of salvation, instead of jesus?

  they have also said jehovah is the means of salvation!

  wt teaches the exact opposite what Christ taught, example:

  jesus said " about the new covenant symbol, blood/wine : drink all of you -- talking to a group of people with an earthly hope at the last supper. wt teaches do not touch. how more anti christ can you get?

  Jesus said this generation will not pass away until all has happened

  wt says this anointed generation will go to heaven before all these things even start.

  Jesus said "it is not given to you to understand time and seasons,

  wt tried ti pin it down to year and date . making a mockery of the "great time keeper" fueling anti christian feelings, destroying confidence.

  Pushing the big J when the small J is called for in scripture.

  Terry, congrats, with your sense of humour, you will last, laughing. have 16 more years in the bank than you, but still like to die young, at the latest possible date. am encouraged by reading about all the 110, 111 year olds, still having twinkles in their eyes. not jws, obviously, ( they celebrate their birthday anniversaries), These are worth to be thankfully celebrated, wt policies notwithstanding.

  it is an interesting case of why "equal pay" isn't quite what you think it is.

  men deserve more, because more than one pole is involved. They raise their own pole. it is polarizing.

  Are JW's Sins Forgiven? NO - (Says the Watchtower)

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone who has been of this forum in the past few days has seen doubting thomas (an active jw) refuse over and over to provide even one scripture that can show how a jw can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant as described in mt.

  26: 27-28. yet, he claims to believe in the blood covering of jesus while at the same time personally rejecting the new covenant "for forgiveness of sins".

  his contradictory claims are common among jw's.

  Here are the wt errors:

  They declare the new covenant to be only for the priest / kings, whereas the old covenant was for all of israel, not just the tribe of judah and levi. the new has to follow that pattern imho.

  They declare the partakers to be the israel of god, whereas in many places the 12 tribes are all the believers, not just the sealed 144 000. wt itself says that the 12 tribes are the non 144000.

  jesus passed the bread and wine to believers with an earthly hope, not anointed [yet].
