    What does it mean to be "saved?" Saved from what exactly? And how do you KNOW you're saved? OMG!

    Its really very simple... but to answer your question, let me ask you a question.... If someone were to hand you a 10 or 20 year calendar and said you must select a day from this calendar on which to die... which date would you like to choose? Any date is fine, it can be tomorrow or 2 years...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    The man who founded the Watchtower was not visited by an angel. He had a desire to study the bible and he formed bible study groups with christians from many different denominations...they eventually formed the 'International Bible Students Association' Their study led them to the realisation...

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

    I would disagree with you on that point. The scriptures do not record any further communication between Jehovah and Adam. He was exiled. That is what spiritual death implies... God, our spirituak Father and source of our spiritual light, is no longer with us. ISAIAH 1:15 And when you...

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

    Of course... and the WT is of the same opinion... so whats your issue?

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

    Ask yourself this... when Adam and Eve sinned, where did God put them?

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

    This is another thing i love about this organisation.... it treats us as individuals because it is God who is dealing with us. He knows us individually and gives us whatever time we need to get back to where we need to be.

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Yes. I agree with that. I dont want to knowingly seek out apostates to hear what they have to say. They are like a poisoned well... its best not to drink.

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

    I guess it depends on the individual and on what sort of changes they need to make to come back. And im speaking from experience on this topic as one who was disfellowshipped... i was reinstated in only a few months.

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

    No she wont. The elders will do everything they can to help her stay in the congregation. what if your adult child is the unrepentant person? Now your loyalties will be tested and the depth of your relationship with jehovah and obedience to his laws will show themselves.

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

    it is Jehovah who requires this....the WT, as a christian organisation, rightly apply Gods word and teach all of us his requirements. 1 cor 5:11-13 quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral, greedy, idolator...remove the wicked man from among yourself" All i...

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

    Thats actually quite false. We are not told to cut off disfellowshipped family members at all. Our immediate family will always require our communication. The wt says that we will always need to have contact due to important family matters that may arise. The only contact we avoid is...

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

    Wow , so basically every religion can be defined as a cult in your view. I dont think that definition is really what a cult is. Usually a cult has a human leader who convinces the group that he/she is a saviour and they exclude themselves from society, become very secretive and the leader...

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

    True... man makes mistakes. But some mistakes are motivated by greed, ambition, pride.... when church leaders burn people at the stake for disagreeing with their dogma, it is no longer an innocent mistake. A literal fulfilment did occur in ancient times. Back then the kingdom of God was...

    How do you define cult?

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

    No of course not...they are dead! Its the holy spirit which inspired the bible and its the holy spirit that interprets it. But often people jump ahead of the holy spirit in an attempt to explain it...we've been guilty of that in the past and so has the rest of christendom. The other problem...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Even trinitarians themselves do this in their own bibles have you noticed 'LORD' as opposed to 'lord' and 'GOD' as opposed to 'god'? This is done by translators who choose to capitalise every instance where the name Jehovah appears. When you see GOD and LORD you should know that the verse is...

    I want to know more about these characters of Abrahamic religion.

    The movie is absolutely nothing like the original bible account.....except that they both have water in them lol Lucifer is a latin name for the devil/satan...its not his real name...the bible does not reveal the angels real name. Satan is Gods arch enemy. He was one of the holy angels who...
