  Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator? Watchtower's Position is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit!

  by RottenRiley in

  2. p. 363; emphasis added) .

  (ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.

  ; emphasis added) .

  Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator

  An invisible, un Audible, "Never proved to Exist" Mediator. That is scary

  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  Yeah, the Holy Bible says that we would be having an "All American" faithful and discreet slave during the last days to communicate and save the whole world.

  Believers: How do you know your view of your chosen holy book is the correct one?

  don't start fighting, darlings.

  i am genuinely curious.

  after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.

  But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.

  Wow. I never thought of this point. So if the beaten slave survives for 2 days and dies on the 3rd day, the master is not to be punished. What a loving arrangement.
  

  I should use this point in my Field service

  Do JWs believe that animals were created to live in harmony? Lion and the lamb

  by Doubledecker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thanks to all who replied to my first post, i appreciate you taking the time to do so.. i left jws for my own reasons as a teenager as i just simply didn’t believe it .

  i am enjoying playing catch up with all the information out there now showing multiple examples of false prophecies , covering up the truth and the jw broadcasting stuff is amazing ( as said before i’ve just ignored the organisation for 30 years ) , it’s totally brainwashing evangelical propaganda.. however i digress .... as a young kid i used to ask , “if in paradise the “ lion will lay with lamb “ and all creatures will live in harmony, why for example does a snake have venom if not to eat another creature ?”.

  like i say i was 10 years old i remember so please excuse the childish question.. but do they actually believe that was gods original plan for animals ?

  King David's Three Choices

  by Jehalapeno in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  editor's note: found this on reddit...thought the meat of the post would be a good post for discussion here as well.. consider the three choices god forced upon david for taking a census.

  these three choices were forced on king david, not for murdering people, not for raping women, not for lying, stealing, or any crime we can think of in our modern world that is repugnant, but simply for taking a census or in other words, counting people.. for counting people, jehovah forced a decision on david that involved the lives of thousands upon thousands of innocent people.. the choices all dealt with the “way” jehovah would kill thousands of unsuspecting loyal worshipers.. 1 chronicles 21.

  “these are the choices the lord has given you.

  Diogenesister I agree. Many of GOD's supposed killing in the Bible may have been natural disasters, superstitiously attributed to God.

  The Egyptian plagues, 70K killed because David took a census......

  hi , this is my first post .. i left jws 30 years ago as 18 year old unbaptised youth and after the initial fallout from leaving pretty much put the whole thing in a box and buried it .. however , i am now starting to realise how much the doomsday messages and the ‘them and us’ doctrines that’s fed to you from birth has remained in my core beliefs.. how have others managed to reprogram themselves ?.

  thanks for reading , have a good day .

  Once when you realize that All religions are scams, peace would empower you. Needs a lot of research and open mind thinking

  Exactly. This is what I ask any CHristian. Why does the Biblical god punish the people for what the King did. (Even the Egyptian Plagues and the killing of the firstborns)

  Clearly these are indications that they were written by Psychopaths.

  How do you feel about the JWS religion after being out more than 10, 20, 30 years ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  myself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years i see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .. part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.. the numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.. then there is the many families breaking up.. marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the jws.. the deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.. this hit me personally when my mother refused a bt when she was ill in the hospital and died.. over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate i left when i did but i do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what i've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.

  I had been out for 10 years. Hate the GB for all its deception, tricks, scams, cover-ups and their dangerous dictatorial attitude.

  I do all I can to prevent people from getting trapped into it. As well as, I do everything to wake up who are already in.
