Jehovah's Witnesses Beliefs Compared to Christianity
Christ will destroy present system of things in the battle of Har-Magedon: Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. (Psalm 110:1) But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia
The dark night that St John describes is not abandonment by God but special consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect their souls. He then earned a graduate degree in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in philosophy from Holy Apostles College...
Similarly, Jehovah knows that all honesthearted humans and angels will benefit from seeing that Satan and his fellow rebels have failed and that humans cannot govern themselves. Why can we be sure that Jehovah has a good reason for allowing suffering to continue? 9 It is comforting for us to know that God does not cause suffering
We appreciate the opportunity to share with you some of the research we have compiled and hope you will find it helpful as you determine whether you should get involved with the Watchtower organization
It made me sick watching my 94 year old grandma go without so many basic necessities of life to put her last dollar in that box just to see it get lost when the economy crashed. Yes, Russell borrowed most of his ideas from Second Adventists, and he borrowed a lot from the Freemason ideas, and he made use of a lot of Art Deco design elements with Egyptian motifs largely because of his obsession with the Great Pyramid
But the Witnesses do not favor one nation over another; they are found in almost every nation, and they have offices in many parts of the earth to supervise their activity in those areas. In pointing out the meaning of symbolic language in the Bible, they let the Bible provide its own explanation, instead of giving their theories as to its significance
Most important, in ruling that Witness children could not be forced to recite the pledge, the new majority rejected the notion that legislatures, rather than the courts, were the proper place to address questions involving religious liberty. Did God change his mind 50 years later and then say alternative service is now okay to do? Who did all those brothers go to jail for Dee? Was it for Jehovah or for the Watchtower Society? What about good ole and special BETH-SARIM, JWs? Was Jehovah behind Beth Sarim too? An entire house and property waiting for the ancient worthies to be resurrected and have a place to go to
Does this strike you as a healthy statistic? Or does it tell you that something is terribly wrong? Why do so many leave? This site is setup to help you wake up to "The Truth About The Truth" and cope with what that really means! . (He covers most of what Ray Franz says) As a bonus, he has a lovely voice to listen to!! If you have facebook there are excellent support groups with almost on tap advice
After all, I did it for Jehovah and his glory, right? He promised me that this wicked world was soon to end at Armageddon, to be replaced by His paradise earth. The School involved both training courses and student deliveries on a variety of topics, with the focus to make everyone a more capable minister and public speaker
(admin), on October 22nd, 2014 Who are the Bible Students? Where do they come from? These are questions frequently asked by those who seek to identify this movement and its origins. (admin), on October 22nd, 2012 Find more discussion about the Governing Body by clicking here: Recently, the Governing Body has modified the definition of the Faithful and Discreet Slave to exclusively apply to themselves and to not include the thousands of other anointed
The fact that many JWs disapprove of higher education is enough to keep most of them as far from it as possible in order to gain the approval of their families and potential spouses. So, to go into 1914 and the whole generation issue, I would have to explain why any of the readers here should care about it before I even addressed the actual issue of 1914
How long did it take you to graduate from what took the rest of us 12 years to complete? Was it a whole week? Of course you would think yourself better than the disciples of Jesus. During the purchase of the photographic copy, they omit the worldwide circulation not observing the use terms of the delivery note nor handing over complimentary copies to the archive.The picture was taken during Lleida bombing in November 1937, and it shows a woman crying before de dead body of her husband
It is therefore a numbers game, and logic dictates that if a certain approach is detrimental to the majority it should be dispensed with in favor of a more effective alternative. These are the 2 web sites that are helping me through this horrible situation of being out here all alone in my town with nobody that I can talk to and confide in about Watchtower abuse
Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower's changing stance on blood transfusions
Jehovah's Witnesses currently misuse Acts 15 to claim modern day Christians must not have blood and then erringly revert to the Mosaic Law for formulating the strict details on their blood doctrine. And they built the high places of the Ba'al in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Ba'al, something that I had not commanded or spoken of, and that had not come up into my heart." Equally tragic are experiences of parents that lose not only a children, but their entire family over the issue of blood
I have made the decision to become celibate because it is something that I have the right to choose, just as I had the right to have really hot sex with a guy I barely know. How can you explain that they lived in different times and what they wrote is the same and the prophecies are been fulfill these days? You are very Ignorant
The Jehovah's Witnesses
I want you to notice how many people John sees: Revelation 7:9-10"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number..." Let's pause there for a moment. Why? Because they were crucified on traditional crosses with crossbeams.A third reason we believe Jesus died on a traditional cross has to do with the placement of the sign in Matthew 27
I am a Jehovah's Witness. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?
Thank you for your wonderful grace and mercy! Have you placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior because of what you have read here? If so, please click on the "I have accepted Christ today" button below. Christians acknowledge that one of the names for God the Father is Jehovah; however, there are many other names and titles which the Scriptures use in reference to God the Father
Really? Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Certainly, God knows who they are and He also knows they have deceived themselves into thinking that they have salvation simply because they attend some protestant, mainline church
Since Abraham died hundreds of years before Jesus said this, how could Jesus say that Abraham "saw it and rejoiced", if there is no conscious awareness after death? In Jn 6:51, Jesus says that a person must eat "of this bread" in order to "live forever", and that "the bread that I give IS my flesh". How could Christ have been a created being if ALL things came into existence through him? If Jesus was a created being, then according to Jn 1:3, Jesus would have had to create himself
Yes, the individual carrying out the sin is primarily culpable, but anyone who covers up the sin is also culpable, do you not agree? The decision to disfellowship a lady for not convincing a group of three men that she fought and cried out when she was raped has NOTHING to do with the evil person who raped her. If you do so, you will have a good chance of turning the tide in helping someone wake up from corrosive indoctrination, and get on with enjoying life with you in it
Things Jehovah's Witnesses Can't Do.
(James 5:13-18) If he does not do this within a reasonable period of time, concern for the cleanness of the congregation should move you to report the matter to the elders.' WT, Oct 15, 1989, Article: 'Guard Against Harmful Gossip!' par 21) More Rules and Things Jehovah's Witnesses Can't Do. JW's are separate from the world) JW's 'Avoid Sexual Misconduct' (The Watchtower says, 'Love for fellow humans will deter you from engaging in sexual misconduct.' WT, Nov 15, 2006, Article: 'Keep Yourself In God's Love!' Subtitle: 'Display True Love for Others', par 11; Also see, WT, Nov 15, 2006, Article: 'An Issue That Involves You', Subtitle: 'Avoid Sexual Misconduct) See Jehovah's High Moral Standards Do suggestive and immodest dancing in a public place
Defend Jehovah's Witnesses: Jehovah's Witnesses and Birthdays - Why Don't They Celebrate?
http://defendingjehovahswitnesses.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-do-jehovahs-witnesses-not-celebrate.html10 months ago Defending The New World Translation Luke 23:43 - Punctuation and the New World Translation; "Truly I tell you today,..." - On occasion, opposers of Jehovah's Witnesses attempt to attack the scholarship and honesty of the translators of the New World Translation Bible. Likewise, just as the early Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses today view these things seriously because they are aware that Jehovah God views these things very seriously
Her social worker contacted our Ministerial Servant about helping to put skirting on her trailer home (skirting keeps out the bitter cold winter winds we have here.) The govt would supply the skirting if the JWs would supply the labor. and somtimes Mom would give them some money but not before they had to stand there and here a whole sermon as to how God would rid the problem entirely in the New World
The final battle between Jehovah and Satan, the Battle of Armageddon, is to start shortly, settling the question, "Who will rule earth?" A very special 144,000 Witnesses, the only ones considered "born again," will rule with Jesus in heaven at the end of this battle. When he fails, Jehovah God will re-establish his kingdom and destroy Satan and all his rebellious followers, thus vindicating Jehovah's name (an obsession with Witnesses)
