    JW's Jesus is Archangel Michael?

    Because he does not know how to debate like an adult. o_O

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Can I ask how many elders or overseers there are assigned in any congregation? Can you tell me when a single clergyman was put in charge of a congregation in Christendom's church system? You see, in the first century, there was no "clergy". There were shepherds and teachers who were appointed...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Yes, those who have a problem with Jehovah's name but accept "Jesus" as the name of his son are nothing but nit-picking hypocrites. English is not Hebrew. Pietro, Pita, Petros, Pietari, Pedro, Petari....all mean Peter....does God not speak every language? If Jesus is God then shouldn't we be...

    What if atheists had a missionary service?

    The Trekkies are not real you know.....o_O Who will build this "warp engine" before we crash completely? I'm not terribly confident in man's track record so far. It is apparent that all the world powers think fixing up the problems is someone else's job. Like cleaning up all the pollution in...

    Can a believer...

    You missed my point entirely Jo. o_O The point was that "serious theological students" of today can be just as wrong as those of the first century who believed that they were God's people teaching the word of God correctly. Their teachings were exposed by Jesus. He said they weren't teaching...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    In your estimation of things it probably appears so, but what are "the gates of hell" (hades)? Please explain what you think that means. And weren't the "weeds" of Jesus parable to grow in the world along with the wheat down to the time of the harvest? That means fake Christians have been in...

    Can a believer...

    And I understand spiritual blindness when I see it. Who on earth are the "pew research group"? They speak for God now do they? Human opinion is just that....open to being completely flawed as we all know. In the Bible, it is the majority who are always in the wrong. It is the minority who hang...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    When we searching for the truth, we have to be prepared to make sacrifices. Long held beliefs that are in error must be discarded, no matter what we have been taught regarding their importance. Start from the beginning and get a feel for the big picture. When Jesus walked the earth, he sought...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Who told you that? It isn't true. Actually the words were changed long before we came on the scene. We just changed them back to what the original words meant. We eliminated all the false doctrines of Christendom and started from scratch. I will match the NWT against any translation, any day...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    I think some people need to look up 1 Tim 6:3-5.

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Then God is cold too. I am simply reflecting the same attitude of a God who does not wink at wilful practicers of what he condemns. When he says "don't do that" and someone does without a shred of remorse, God does not forgive. Only when genuine repentance is demonstrated will forgiveness take...

    A civilized dissussion: Christianity and paganism

    @Yoshua.....the trinity has been debated to death on these forums. Please read the many threads. I doubt you could raise a single issue about the trinity that has not already been hammered into the ground. It's a case of believe it or not...I don't. I do not believe that you can make a doctrine...

    Can a believer...

    Are you serious? o_O That link was the greatest load of hogwash I have ever read! Plucking a verse here and there out of context to "prove" that Paul taught a different doctrine than Jesus is rather pathetic. Only someone who has no idea what the Bible as a whole teaches would swallow that...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    If I was not a JW and my adult child decided to live a life that I disapproved of, I would not support it. I would have no desire to continue a relationship with someone who was committing acts that offended ME...let alone offended my God. There are many parents out there who have no contact...

    Pearls among swine

    This is true.....people fear change and will fight to maintain their comfort zone. If nothing else, it should warn us about running with the crowd. o_O Can you please elaborate on what you mean here?

    Now that the door is open, where does it close?

    When you attack my brothers, you attack me. Just as Jesus said....what you do to his brothers, you do to him. Why are you surprised that I would defend them? What you insinuated was that all JW's are reflected in your family's particular experience. As I said...who can make a judgment with one...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Not to mention the fact that it is illegal to desecrate someone's grave. If Russell were here today, he would order it torn down. He made some wrong assumptions but they have long been corrected. He misinterpreted a scripture in Isaiah. Unlike the churches of Christendom, when we find out that...

    I like your respectful manner already :) Welcome!

    A civilized dissussion: Christianity and paganism

    Hello Yoshua, nice to meet you too. :) Sneak in any time you like. Thomas was actually expressing doubt, not doctrine. The context helps us to draw the right conclusion from Thomas' words. Shortly before Jesus’ death, Thomas had heard Jesus’ prayer in which he addressed his Father as “the...
