  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  frequently asked questions.

  if i accept a bible study, will i be pressured to become one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

  jehovah’s witnesses love teaching people about the bible, but we never pressure anyone to join our religion.

  Should you tell your Bible study conductor on day 1 you will never become a Jehovah’s witnesses. That's the end of the Bible study.

  James 1:27 to the rescue.

  Ask him, must you be a Jehovah’s witness to follow the content of that scripture?

  Keep it mind that the key part that says

  and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

  Ask him are JWs unstained from the world in their mode of operation throughout the years?

  Truth b known idea is simple and straightforward or go through your hr personnel.

  Or ask Does "Jehovah’s organization" equals "Jehovah"

  If Yes is his answer. Get him to find a Scriptural support.

  Watchtower Study on 5th December.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.

  in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".

  however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.

  When the wife of an elder sent a text saying RETURN TO JEHOVAH my short and simple reply is I am not aware of any scripture that states leaving a religious organisation equates to leaving God.

  I am yet to get a reply since then.

  Since they preach freewill, it is the freewill of many out there never to become a Jehovah’s witness and these people the JWs relates with freely on numerous basis. One begin to wonder what is the difference between a JW that equally exercise the freewill to opt out of the organization.

  Those that says they are TERRORIST have a point anyway. The organization is the architect of its own TROUBLES and tag as TERRORIST.

  TERRORISM begins with DISFELLOWSHIPPING or EXCOMMUNICATION

  First group characterized by saying......

  “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
  

  1 Peter 3:3, 4
  

  Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

  
  

  
  

  Second group characterized by saying......
  

  "Jesus will return in 1874, 1878, 1914, 1925, 1975" of which non came to fulfilment and all of these ran contrary to the below......

  Acts 1:7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

  The question once again............... are BOTH GROUPS SCOFFERS and RIDICULERS?

  Their taskmasters have spoken.😂. Just so funny how members cannot see the control mechanism has no basis in the scripture and was brutally exposed during the lockdowns that it has no meaningful bearing on anything.

  Thanks again Atlantis. Stuff like these gives numerous ones out there that are not aware something to think about when engaged in discussion based on related topics.

  Eating of blood prohibition specifically not forbidden for non-Jews

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  deut 14:21 you shall not eat anything that has died a natural death; give it to the stranger in your community to eat, or you may sell it to a foreigner.

  for you are a people consecrated to yhwh.... it seems quite self evident the ritual of blood letting prior to eating meat was understood by the deuteronomist as binding only on jews..

  Blanket ban or prohibition approach by the organization will lead to reading and interpreting the below scripture 1 Peter 2:11

  Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents+ to keep abstaining from fleshly desires, which wage war against you.
  

  
  

  Keep abstaining from fleshly desires such as food, drinks, sleep, watching football, sports, sex, recreation e. t.c.

  Compare with Acts 15 29
  

  to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood,+ from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality.

  The Watchtower—Study Edition | January 2022

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | january 2022. during the great tribulation, gog of magog’s forces may try to assault us in our homes.

  but we can take comfort in knowing that jesus and his angels are aware of what is happening and will defend us (see paragraph 13).

  13. when gog of magog attacks, why will we appear to be vulnerable, but what reason for confidence will we have?

  I always laugh when reading all these maybes. Too many assumptions, speculations.
