  A Return to the Basics - Part I

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower

  every so often we get so stuck with specifics and the latest wt scandals or doctrinal nuances that it's good to get back to the basics.

  that is the purpose of this thread.

  i cannot count the times that, when dubs arguments are demolished with quotes from their own literature and practices, they resort to this statement in sheer desperation: well, at least weve got the basics right.

  Salvation-The Watchtower's Way or the Bible's Way

  my bestfriend adonoyechod wrote an excellent message titled humor and sarcasm.

  it is true, we must remember the purpose why we are on these message board.

  it is not to just to win the argument but to win the lost for christ.

  Humor & Sarcasm

  in ref to the article about the nwt having clarity of language: great post!

  still i fear that there are many other verses out there that are so taken out of their context.

  of course we don't all have to be greek scholars or hebrew scholars to know that there is something so very wrong with, "you have greased my head" and while a verse like this can and should be considered peripheral material, in the sense that it has nothing to do with their salvation, there are verses in the nwt that merit, not our laughter, but our serious consideration in light of the fact that they rely so heavily on these false interpretations and alterations of holy scriptures, thus the veil over their eyes.

  Do They Really Believe In The Trinity?

  by adonoyechod in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in order to produce a publication such as "should you believe in the trinity", someone had to go through all the extensive material utilized i.e the encyclopedeas, the dictionries and the articles.

  seeing that most of the quotations in that publication were taken out of their context it is therefore safe to assume that the "bowl of salad" method was used, meaning that they only picked the parts they they felt proved their point and discarded the rest.

  consider for a moment the time it takes to read all the materials needed to produce this publication.

  144,000 pagans or annointed

  by JCISGOD98 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  charles russell the first president of the watchtower believed and taught that the anointed ones, which are the 144,000 who go heaven, began to be chosen just as soon as the church began, and by the end of the first century most of them were chosen.

  the watchtower of february 1, 1975, page 84 reiterated that jehovah god started selecting the 144,000 nineteen hundred years ago.

  history tells us that this persecuted church continued for several centuries, so there were many years during which the true church existed and expanded.

  Is The "Light Gets Brighter" Doctrine...

  by adonoyechod in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have often read, been told, and heard by jw's that the light gets brighter and brighter.

  i realize that this particular phrase comes from the bible, but i fail to see it's application anywhere in the nt or ot.

  at least in the manner in which they explain it.
