  so we are a couple weeks into this crisis with the meetings being cancelled.

  wtf do they have jw broadcasting for then?

  On second thought, cancelling all meetings and field service is the best news jw's have had in decades!

  True, I think atleast 75% Jws are happy about it.

  Jesus never invited any spectators when he initiated the memorial (in fact he kicked one out).
  The Bible doesn't say spectators must watch the anointed pass the bread every year.
  There was no provision in the Pascha meal for people not to join in the meal. Egyptians were not invited into the homes of the Jews to watch them eat. No, not even the Egyptians that later joined the Jews on their exodus (according to the myth).

  Thats true. This ceremony that JWs do is like a circus clown event. Why do nonpartakers need to attend ?. To passover the emblems ? Thats a funny and silly thing.

  And Jesus said "Whoever does not eat my flesh and drink my blood will not have eternal life"

  So this human flesh Eating and Human blood drinking(Yuck) is mandatory for every christian.

  The Memorial will be held only for JW's. No guests allowed.

  Why cant they have the memorial only for the anointed. That would be even safer

  Mathew 24: 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
  

  To give a fitting reply to a JW who claims the End has started....

  Jesus said the Kingdom would be preached in all the World. Has this been done in Every nation ?

  There are still nations where JWs cannot preach. How do they Explain this.

  Social distancing and the Memorial

  by Kingdavid41 in

  1. social
  2. current

  with the coronavirus now categorized as a global pandemic and many large gatherings are now social distancing for safety concerns of contacting and spreading the virus.. will the memorial of christ death take place on april 7 2020 worldwide where thousands will gaether in large crowds to commemorate the death of jesus as commanded in the bible.

  jesus gave the command to keep doing this in remembrance of him or will sound, reasonableness and good judgment for safety overrule on that special night.

  my guess is that it will not be canceled regardless of the frightening and very real pandemic the virus has caused around the world!.

  Do you think any of the GB have different beliefs?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think any higher ups know that much of the doctrine they teach is bunk?

  thinking back to the time of raymond franz, how he pointed out specifically numerous teachings that the churches really did have right all along, and really any of the hidden mic apostacy trials you listen to on youtube, you see that even when inconvenient bible teachings are proven, the elders just try to sweep it under the rug and move on.

  i think i remember franz saying how one of the gb approached him somewhat sympathetically, but there was nothing he could do.. whether you believe in the bible or not, there are some basic beliefs common among most denominations because they're just so plainly stated, such things as heavenly life for all christians, no central authority structure, minimal use of god's name, etc.

  I am sure that all - if not many of them know its all a scam. And for sure, they would have differing views and beleifs. But thay cant rebel and quit since they very well know they cant survive if they are out.

  Or atleast they know they wont get the respect, Luxury and Rock star fame if they quit.

  Acer - Christianity is different as it answers the question about sin. What is sin, how does sin lead to death, How does God save creation from sin and death. No other religion answers that question.

  Sin is a concept fabricated by Bible writers for the sole purpose of controlling the masses. There is nothing called Sin. Its the greatest scam invented and still going on for thousands of years

  IS there any tangible proof at all, for any religions, to prove that they are backed up by god ?

  I'm tired of the org misquoting scholars to support there heretical NWT

  by yogosans14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  day after day jws are constantly fighting with me over the internet that the nwt is the most accurate translation and then they prove it by quoting scholars from the watchtower magazines.

  they tell me i'm biased and there rendering of john 1:1 as "a god" is approved by scholars but i have researched there so called "supporters" and i have found they have tooken what they said out of context to twist the scriptures to there liking.. .

  dr. julius r. mantey (who is even recognized by the watchtower as a greek scholar since they quote his book on page 1158 of their kingdom interlinear translation): calls the watchtower translation of john 1:1 "a grossly misleading translation.

  In the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, published in 1984, the text in John 17:3 was translated by WT as follows:

  This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

  In the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, published in 2013, the text at John 17:3 has been changed by WT as follows:

  This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

  Notice the difference between these two texts at John 17:3?

  There is a huge difference between taking knowledge of someone and coming to know someone.

  And it was there, mistranslated for some 30 years.

  In most of Christendom’s Bible it was correctly translated as "knowing you" right from the Beginning.

  Wt claims that they only have the Holy Spirit, which guides them in everything, including the Biblical Translation.

  So the Holy Spirit guided them wrongly here for 30 years?

  Ask any JW about this
