  i was googling the subject and came across this story.

  i just had an incredible phone conversation with a long-time jw who has strong "q-anon" "sovereign citizen" beliefs.

  the wife(first gen) says she is not surprised.

  I`m an Aussie and I had to look up QAnon on the net to find out what it actually means ?

  I had never heard of it defore.

  2. bible

  a lot of false teaching darkens our doors today, especially with watchtower teachings, calvinism and lordship salvation.. latest video below explores the verse john 3:16 and shows forth the truths which christ preached to nicodemus.

  the jws also spread fear amongst their followers stating that if the leave the org, then jehovah will strike them down at armageddon.

  this video covers this same fear.. feel free to watch below..

  The short answer is no ,I do not.

  The American Government ordered the dropping of an Atomic Bomb on two civillian cities ,Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

  And not on the armed forces of Japan who were responsible for carrying out the war.

  I`m really not sure of why the question ?

  What are the odds that Armageddon is soooo close?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  well judging from past prophetic pronouncements....go figure.

  "surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of god that the lord jesus is present and has been since 1874;…" watchtower 1924 jan 1 p.5).

  "the prophecy of the bible, fully supported by the physical facts in fulfillment thereof, shows that the second coming of christ dates from the fall of the year 1914.

  BluesBrother ,so was YHWH wrong in creating Adam and producing Jesus with a foreskin in the first place ?

  Stupid me , I have two sons while in the struth , my first born was un circumcised and my second son who was born 6 years later was circumcised when in my religiousness thought it must have been the thing to do .

  Their "version" of Almighty God and his son implies a mass-murdering of billions of people for being stupid, deceived, scripturally uneducated, not joining their sect of Christianity, etc. etc.

  Didn`t GOD set the precedent for this when he brought a world wide flood on the Earth ?

  Watchtower looses Norwegian Appeal

  by Diogenesister in

  1. social
  2. current

  watchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.

  the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.

  the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .

  Rom.13: 1-7 Be in subjection to the superiour authorities for it is an arrangement of GOD and he who takes a stand against that authority takes a stand against GOD.

  How is it that the GB of Jehovah`s Witnesses can cherry pick what scriptures they adhere to and those that they ignore ?

  I wonder how may people like us were active JW`s before 1975 and are still here now ?

  I also wonder how many ex JW`s know or knew JW`s had an earlier date for the end of 6000 years in the late 1800`s ?

  Offhand i cant remember the exact date , so 1975 was their second guess at it .

  Have JW `s ever faced the topic of Jesus having inherited Adamic sin ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the bible all humans male and female have inherited sin because of adam and eve`s disobedience to god .. god may have impregnated mary with a life force , however it was still sinful mary who gave birth to jesus after nine months in her body who is /was supposedly without sin ?.

  mary must have passed on some of her sinful state to jesus having been in her womb for the past nine months , surely.

  and there is nothing in the bible / scripture to say otherwise ?.

  How can that be ? Mary must have passed on some of her sinful state to Jesus having been in her womb for the past nine months , surely. ?

  And there is nothing in the Bible / scripture to say otherwise ?

  So in my mind Jesus had to be imperfect to some extent ,and not a perfect son of God.

  What do you say ?
