I know, I'm opening a can of worms here, but if you can "go back in time" to desecrate one religion...

Seems like the JWs screwed the pooch when their FALSE PROPHCIES came and went.Maybe more cowbell is needed.

I don't take anything you say seriously.

Good!

For I am a big goof off clown.

But, do not ignore the SCRIPTURE that I post.

Matthew 26:63-66

WhatEVER they say; it was enough to get JESUS killed.

His JUDGES sure thought that He equated Himself with GOD.

I was raised a JW until I left home when I was 16 and this religion has screwed up my entire life and of which I also hold accountable to the suicide of my younger sister and the death of my nephew.

Are you channeling Michael Jackson?

I know. And it’s entertaining to watch them stick their fingers in their ears and sing.

“What bizarre beliefs??? You have yet to name 1!!!!

Right you are! I named more than 15.

:-)

All of which you ignored or missed. Here they are again
for your edification.

THAT Jesus Christ (who is Michael the Archangel in their doctrine ) (WT 2/1/91 p.17) is mediator for only a small, elite, group within their ranks called the “anointed remnant”. Others must come to this group who control the organization and earn their salvation by absolute obedience to it. (WT 04/01/79).

THAT all religions except their’s are of Satan, and your Pastor or Priest is under the Devil’s control. (Truth..E. Life p. 132-137)

THAT the Watchtower Society is the only source of truth on earth today, and all churches teach error and will be destroyed at Armageddon. (WT 04/01/88 p.24; Truth.. p.120,121).

THAT the cross is a pagan symbol of sex worship, and that all buildings or persons displaying the cross are likewise pagan. Jehovah’s Witnesses deny that Jesus died on the cross. However, the Watchtower Magazine now admits they are not certain about the cross, but will continue to deny it anyway. (WT 8/15/87 p.29 Aid.. p.1608,9).

THAT no one goes to heaven but 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses, and your soul will be destroyed if you refuse to join their organization. (WT 12/15/68 p.765-766; Truth...p.75-80).

THAT the Christ child was only an “IT”, not a “HE”. See the New World Translation, Luke 2:16,17. *

THAT Jesus was not the Christ (or Messiah) until age 30, even though their own bible says in Luke 2:11, “because there was born to you today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie p. 211)

THAT after Jesus was buried in the tomb, Jehovah dissolved his body into gasses and it disappeared forever. (WT 09/01/53 p. 518; Time...Hand p. 129).

THAT Jesus rose invisibly in three days, so Jehovah had to “materialize” a fake body for him complete with fake nail prints so His disciples would believe it was really Jesus risen. (Make Sure..(52 ed.) p. 314)

THAT Armageddon and Christ’s second coming were foretold to happen in 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975 by this “nonprophet”organization. (WT10/1/1890p.1243;1/1892p.1354; Life Everl. (66 ed. p.29)

THAT when Christ failed to show up in 1914 The Society claimed in later years that He had come — invisibly — of course, and all Jehovah’s Witnesses believe this today. (Light (30 ed). p. 194; Paradise on Earth..p.148)

THAT Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob etc. were to be back on earth as perfect humans in 1925. The Society built a palatial home for them BUT when the patriarchs failed to show up, the President of the Society moved in. (Millions..(20 ed) p. 89-90; WT 03/15/37 p. 86).

THAT their light gets “brighter and brighter”, allowing for the many changes and “about faces” on their doctrines. Yesterday’s error is today’s “truth”. Often the “light” bounces back and forth from old to new views and back again! Does real light return to darkness? (1 example Sodom: WT 06/01/52 p. 336; 08/01/65 p. 479; Rev..Climax..(88 ed) p. 273).

THAT the Watchtower Society and its followers are all prophets of God today and the Governing Body is directed by angels from God. (WT 01/15/59 p. 40-41; WT 4/1/72 p.200.

THAT salvation for Society members consists of doing the good works of placing Watchtower books and magazines and winning converts. (WT 08/15/72; Make Sure (65 ed) p. 438-9).

THAT soon Jehovah God will become a GRANDFATHER and Jesus will be promoted to “EVERLASTING FATHER”! (WT 08/01/95 p. 13).

THAT Jehovah God is not omnipresent, but still Almighty. Think! How can this be?(Light II (30 ed) p. 184). “The true God is not omnipresent for he is spoken as of having a location: (Insight into the Scriptures ,Vol 1, pg 969 (1988 edition)

There is only one reason to leave your cult...
at least one that is the first major reason
problems that should tell you it is a cult.

They make Jesus Christ, who is God, has always
been God and always will be God - neither created
nor made - into a created being.

No Christ who is God, no salvation. No Christianity.
No heaven.

Of course, there Jehovah’s Witnesses are wrong
on every major belief - including how to read
Greek.

Those are great reasons to FLEE slavery to the
watchtower cult.

See my # 479 for all the versions ... They all say The Word WAS GOD...

JW's quibble about the greek, trying to get "the Word was with God and the Word was A god". That is the point trying to be made, but failing miserably. The JW New World Translation (NWT) carries the error, but fails to translate "ton theon" consistently throughout the NT. You are correct in that all of the reputable translations (by people who KNOW Greek, incontrast to those who wrote NWT) read as you pointed out.

Sorry, I have never learned any of those things while studying w/ the witnesses.

Any questions I had were answered directly from the Bible.

Just so I can see for myself, instead of “quoting” your sources, could you please link them instead.

No Hon. They answered you using their error filled bible. No one uses their "translation" but them. And no Greek scholars back their translation.

What Greek Scholars Think of the New World Translation

The New World Translation (1950) A Corrupt sectarian Paraphrase!
