It's not.We're right now discussing Christmas in the trinity thread and this thread. Shouldn't you be moderating this? (just kidding) But shoudln't you?As I said in that other thread:Quote For some weird reason, you equate “not working” with “celebrating.” This is false. However, I am self employed and barely work at all, really. (Hence, I'm…[Read more]

Ummm. I think you misunderstood me. I said, or asked:”If God originally intended for man to live in paradise, can anything thwart that purpose? Can Satan, or Adam or anyone change that purpose?”Although not answering the question, because it is obviously “no,” as you say, I agree with you: No one can thwart God's purpose for his children to…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,Perhaps you should prove your love of scripture by insisting your JW organisation abides in it. And perhaps you should prove your love of scripture and truth by giving up false religion and babylion practices. Step out of her, Nick. What do you think Christmas is? True Relgion? Or is it lies and paganism. You know the answer,…[Read more]

CB, your complete lack of evidence to support the claims you make often makes me nauseous. especially when you repeat them over and over again, without actually thinking what you are saying. It's almost as if you've been…brainwashed.In your post above, you state:Quote Their own “bible contradicts them.Unfortunately, you know neither scripture…[Read more]

I like bothering people with this very strange quote:The Encyclopedia Canadiana (Under Jehovah’s Witnesses), second paragraph:“The work of Jehovah's Witnesses is the revival and re-establishment of the primitive Christianity practiced by Jesus and his disciples during the first and second centuries of our era. Their services are kept simple. The…[Read more]

Quote Go to “Restored Worldwide Church of God” ( http://www.thercg.org ) to learn about every truth that the bible teaches. This information is entirely free.And they don't use Jehovah's name, just god, lord, GOD, or LORD……………. so that should make everyone happy. Of course, the truth isn't about making “everyone happy.”Try this site:…[Read more]

Quote Well if they're a cult….it's the first cult that I know of… that doesn't expect anyone to contribute unless they want to (I certainly never did),Hello, T8, if you're out there, notice what Matthew said above, a page or so back.And please stop trying to connect wrong practices such as this with JW's.Thankyou.

Qa, (Matthew), you are often mentioning videos or documentaries that changed your life. I highly suggest you watch Al Gores “An inconvenient truth.”

He is the “faithful witness” and also called the “faithful and true witness,” in scripture.Who was he a witness of?Like the great cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews 11, he was a witness for Jehovah, his Father.Jesus was also not a supporter of heaven.net.

Ask yourself, ‘What religious group is noted for sticking closely to God’s Word, even when its teachings differ from the beliefs of most people? Who stress the importance of God’s personal name, even using it to identify themselves? Who optimistically point to God’s Kingdom as the only solution to all human problems? Who uphold Bible standar…[Read more]

Yes, and in the final part of the days, the good news of the kingdom is being preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and it's being done by Jehovah's Witnesses. (Mat 24:14) “It must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the m…[Read more]

Quote Since it is the JWs that (as far as I know) brought up that we have NO soul or ghost like spirit that goes to heaven.We have both “soul” (life) and a spirit (life force).But yes, we have no ghost inside of us that continues on conscious after death.Quote While the Jehovah’s Witnesses and others are labeled cultists because they say that t…[Read more]

Nick, you are not in the Bible.Thus, you come from the world.

If you want to disuss this topic, we are currently discussing it in the appropriate thread. But I thought you'd try to prove that Jehovah's Witnesses have mixed or syncretized the Bible with the world.The belief that Michael is another name for Jesus is not a worldly belief. So I take it you've given up on what you've said, or at least can't…[Read more]

Quote Is JW unity so precious to you that you would not challenge and warn and even rebuke your wayward leaders even if they taught what Christ did not? While the Bible nowhere specifically says this, the evidence supports it. There are a lot of things the Bible doesn't specifically say that are none the less true. Nick, you have to understand…[Read more]

Nick stated: “Hi david,Scripture never makes any such statement so why would you try to build on such fantasies?”I can only assume you are speaking of these words that we are discussing:”Is not Michael an amazing servant of Christ and his God?”You're right. Scriptue makes no such statements. Which is why I asked you to back up that unscriptural…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,So if I set up a commune and refuse to serve the government and treat everyone well would that suffice to please God? Hi Nick. Your ability to reason and logically communicate seems to be falling apart. I am not suggesting what you say above. You had quite falsely stated that JW's beliefs “are a syncretism of the bible and the…[Read more]

While there are many reluctant to even use God’s name, there is one group that is not.ACTS 15:14“Syḿeon has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.”Ask yourself: How does this scripture fit me?Are you part of the group that is “a people for his name?” (Acts 15:…[Read more]

“Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.”—Isaiah 43:10, 11, (American Standard Version.)Jehovah God had witnesses on earth durin…[Read more]

Historian Kenneth Scott Latourette wrote: “Still another set of charges held Christianity up to ridicule for its recent origin and contrasted it with the antiquity of its rivals .” (A History of the Expansion of Christianity, Volume 1, page 131) In the early second century C.E., Roman historian Suetonius called Christianity “a new and misch…[Read more]
