Has God preserved His word today?

by JW Answers in

has god preserved his word today?

many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.

yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

The Bible was compiled by Roman Politicians, centuries after the supposed death of Jesus Christ. Many supposed holy Books were excluded in that compile.

The Bible was circulated through handwritten copies until men invented the printing press. Not a very efficient way to spread god’s word

Almighty God’s holy name was taken out of his Holy book and he didn’t do anything about it for 1875 years until the JW religion was established.

Translation of a book into any other language would twist the original meaning, culturally and grammatically. This is what linguists say.

Still the Bible is undergoing revisions, as many verses are deleted from it, from various Christian denominations.

Jehovah created paradise to be perfect, right Dad ?

How could an All perfect God make creatures that could choose to sin and become imperfect.

God cannot sin. Thats what the Bible teaches. So should have been human kind, created by a sinless god.

What would you do or say?

by Butyoucanneverleave in

a brother who is not baptized ( so there's still hope for him ) had a sister recently run into him at a store.

show wanted to know if he's going to the kingdom hall.

she asked him to write a letter for her to give to his mother ( who's deceased) in the paradise explaining why he didn't make it.

EverApostate

There are several Nutty cases like these in the JW world.

One brother said that he would start to tremble whenever he misses s meeting, and would become normal only when he is at the meeting again.

Another nut came to the hall to give his part, when his father was dead.

And mosquitoes will drink orange juice

Some elders or Ministerial servants would have the privilege to prepare Mosquito special Orange Juices.

So the animals too would be perfect, as it has been promised that death would be no more, nor crying nor suffering.

And all carnivorous creatures would be eating Vegetation.

And what about leprosy germs, TB germs, Virus, and Flesh eating bacteria. Oh... they too would be made perfect, to be more virulent? We have to wait and see

And people won’t gossip, be selfish or harm others or even the slightest apostate thinking won’t come to their mind.

And meetings - 5 times a day to praise Jah. What if I skip meetings , as I always did in the old world.

No field Service, and fake time reporting, as all would be JWs. Phew…..That’s a good relief.

No fear of Job Insecurity, Layoffs, Inflation, Pollution , Corruption, Crime. All taken care of by Jah + Jesus + 144K

No Inorganic food stuff.

And people can choose to live some 10 million years in the Alps, the next ten million years in the Americas, another 10 million in any tropical Island. You know, these are minuscule periods of time when compared to eternity

Wow! Quite a situation, to live on forever. Looking forward.

Did the jw's leadership ever apologize for 1975?

by dugout in

jw
friends

talking to my friend who's an elder, when i asked him did the leadership ever attempt to apologize for the 1975 prediction fiasco he said they did.

and he was going to show me.

i'm still waiting..................................................tic toc did they???

EverApostate

This never fails to get to me.
"It is to be regretted" -- passive voice.
Even in an "apology", they refuse to take personal responsibility.
Imagine "apologizing" in this manner in any other situation.
"It is to be regretted that your best friend was slept with by myself on the eve of her wedding..."
"It is to be regretted that gasoline was poured by myself all throughout your house, and a match was lit, and a fire was started..."
Link Dislike Like sir82, very good. You have best explained the manipulative Language of WT

Anyone know the significance of the three days and nights Jesus is dead?

by Crazyguy in

in my studies i’ve come to realize that most dying and rising gods such as inanna, jesus and others all were dead three days and nights.

the moon is dead as far as man not being able to see it in the sky three days and nights but many of these gods are not associated with the moon, osiris maybe being the only exception.

have any of you in your research come up with a plausible idea on why there all dead just threes days and three nights?.

EverApostate

Its all Myth, copied from some other earlier myths. Hence......

J.W.`s and Paradise and the Reality of it.

by smiddy3 in

when god created adam and eve and put them in the garden of eden it was then up to them to cultivate and take care of it ,god had no further hand in it .the responsibility rested with adam/eve and their offspring.. the same would be true in the paradise to come ,god gets rid of all of us wicked people ,but then it is up to j.w.~s who are left on this earth to restore such a paradise.?

without god`s intervention.. think of it , this system is gone with all its infrastructure.. 8 million + j.w.`s scattered throughout the earth with.

no communication systems operating .

EverApostate

I was once told by an elder that Armageddon Survivors won’t miss their dead (non JW) friends and relatives in the new world because Jah would wipe their minds off their memories.

Feel like throwing up when I think of this now.

What Privileges do you get when you are baptized ?

by LOLS in

my husband was baptized at the recent 2018 convention in south africa ....... he was very annoyed that his non-believing wife did not attend the baptism....... but i think he received pressure from his jw father & elders as to why his wife was not attending ....... anyway ..... it's really water off my back .

i wanted to know what privileges you get as a baptized jw man , as i saw a message from one of the elders at his cong , congratulating him on his baptism and to earning more privileges ..... what are these privileges the elder is speaking about ,,,,, .

i don't feel like asking my husband as it just lands up in a stupid fight ..... or a long winded explanation ..... thanks .

EverApostate

Privilege is a misnomer in the JW world. In simple terms, that is Free Labor you provide to the Watchtower.

Recruiting others, which is called Field Service, Congregational responsibilities which includes a whole ton of activities for the WT, preparing for meetings and conventions and free Labor during conventions are all termed as Privileges in JW dom.

Dis-fellowshipped For Not Going To The Kingdom Hall You Are Assigned Too

by new boy in

jw
friends

my parents started attending the glendora congregation in 1961. my mother had a strange feeling about the congregation.

there was something going on there that just didn’t feel right.

there was a huge exodus going on of people leaving this congregation’s kingdom hall too.

EverApostate

When I got myself Disassociated they announced as “So and so is no longer one of a Jehovah’s Witness”. They announce the same ambiguous way, either for Disfellowshipping or to any who gets disassociated.

This is a clever tactic to keep the Congregation thinking that this guy might have Sinned Seriously and hence shun her/him. It also prevents the congregation to investigate why this guy got Disassociated himself and hence prevent them from knowing TTATT.

Cunning as a pack of Foxes.
