    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    It is...but it works, so the organization continues to do it.

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Oh, but wouldn't you find it fascinating to watch Deeje or HockeyCowboy or any other JW try to disprove any of those statements? We lived it...we know that all of those things are true...perhaps with some slight exaggeration on a couple of statements, but definitely not lies or "half truths."...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Actually, Deeje, I think that people would be VERY interested in any sort of counter arguments you could invent to show where those statements were lies and/or twisted half truths. A couple of them, in my opinion, seemed slightly exaggerated, but overall the statements are truthful and...

    Where does the NWT Bible Falsify?

    Here is a link to a site where there are multiple instances showing where the NWT differs from other Bible translations. Generally, the differences are made to bolster the JWs' beliefs. I would think that the goal should be to base one's beliefs on what is written rather than modifying what is...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    You're welcome. Despite the fact that I am considered an "apostate" and someone not to be trusted as far as JW teachings are concerned, the reality is that I, unlike most JWs, have no agenda. I simply relate to the best of my memory and ability what I had been taught when I was a JW.

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    When you gave your previous comment along with the actual definition of immortality, as I mentioned, it made me step back and re-consider what I had been taught. However, here is what JWs believe on this matter. JWs believe that there is a very distinct difference between "everlasting life" and...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Honestly, I find your comments to be quite intriguing. As a JW, I never thought to question what the GB taught us, and I simply accepted that we should not delve too deeply or question too much. I'm sure that Deeje is doing the same. She is well-versed in what she has been told, but it does...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Yes, I was an active JW for 30 years. I'll try my best. Yes, Adam was created with a mortal body, but JWs believe that, as long as he obeyed God's laws, that mortal body would have continued on indefinitely. Not quite. If I remember correctly, Adam would have been granted "everlasting...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Let us not forget that wedding flowers were used to confuse the demons, and bridesmaids were utilized in much the same way--to confuse the demons so that they wouldn't steal the bride. Do you see anything Christian about that? JWs, however, don't have a problem with wedding traditions. They...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    I think that you just confirmed the point PruePhillip was making. JWs consider everything in the book of Revelation to be symbolic EXCEPT for the number 144,000. That is absurd. Well, JWs do a really good job of picking on every other religion on the face of the earth. Since they feel...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    I guess the scriptures and the parable of the prodigal son are totally unknown to you, then? The scriptures show that the prodigal son was never shunned by his family and that, unlike the process utilized by the JWs, was warmly welcomed back by his father as soon as he arrived home. He was not...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Disfellowshipping as practiced by JWs is absolutely unscriptural. The scriptures state that the process begins when someone in the congregation becomes aware of another congregation member repeatedly engaging in sin. The scriptures state that the sinner should be spoken to--one-on-one--in an...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Most JWs would have enough sense not to attack a "worldly" person like that, but despite what you wish to believe about your "brothers" some JWs are just, shall we say, jerks who say horrible things and do horrible things. When people recount bad experiences with JWs, it doesn't automatically...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    They don't. They just call it "meat juice" and pretend that it isn't blood.

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Care to explain the process by which the "four basic components" of blood are removed from meat, thereby making the remaining blood allowable? I didn't realize that there was any special process being utilized by butchers to make residual blood in meat acceptable for JWs. Please post a link...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    Do you wash your meat and wring it out well? Perhaps soak it overnight in salted water to try to remove all blood? Probably not. Can you show any scripture wherein God commands anyone to refrain from accepting freely donated human blood used in a medical procedure? Can you show any scripture...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    And yet, JWs will accept almost all fractions of blood, and they will also accept an organ transplant, which will almost inevitably contain some amount of whole blood. They eat meat, frequently cooked rare, and declare that the blood they are consuming is not blood, but "meat juice." When the...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    And what JWs continually ignore is that fact that the abstention from blood was solely an abstention from eating animal blood, in order to show respect for the life of that animal. JWs have twisted what the scriptures have said by turning a rule against EATING animal blood into refusing freely...

    Can a JW please answer this one question, pretty please?

    What those JWs said to you was unforgivable and I can understand why you were disgusted. Usually, JWs are a bit more circumspect with regard to what "worldly" people do with regard to medical treatments, even if they, themselves, believe such a treatment is against God's will. They had...
