  Was / Is God biased ? prejudiced against certain Peoples / Tribes or Nations ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let me explain :.

  after the creation account of the bible, tribes of people and nations began to form and spread around the land.. god first chose noah and his family to protect them as he destroys all others in the flood.. and he ticks off everyone in babel ?

  and then he favours abraham and his descendants as the nation of israel culminating in the jewish lineage to jesus the son of god.. he has never had any dealings with any other people`s or nation isn`t that some form of favouritism ?

  Which of you readers are being shunned by their relatives / friends ?

  2. experiences

  a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).

  My niece has shunned her mother and sisters and my family for many years now because we left the religion.

  That`s her choice and her loss.

  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.

  Ministry in John 3:16

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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 ?
