jehovahs witness

[annieup]

FIRST OF ALL THE WITNESSES ARE NOT A CULT. THAT OPINION WAS FORMED BY SOMEONE THAT OBVIOUSLY FEELS THREATNED BY THE TRUTH.IT AMAZES ME THAT WHENEVER A WITNESS DOES SOMETHING WRONG IT MAKES THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWS! IF A BABTIST OR PROTESTANT DOES SOMETHING WRONG IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR RELIGION. AND THIS BIG COVER UP GARBAGE IS A JOKE. ADMITTEDLY THEY ARE NOT PERFECT NOR CLAIM TO BE. MATT 24:9 SAYS THAT WE WOULD BE OBJECTS OF HATRED ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NAME. WHAT OTHER RELIGION IS HATED ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NAME? ONLY 1 THAT I CAN THINK OF THE WITNESSES PROUDLY GLORIFY JEHOVAHS NAME. ALSO WE ARE NOT PROGRAMMED. WE HAVE FREE WILL,GOD DOES NOT WANT ROBOTS, THAT IS WHY HE GAVE ADAM AND EVE FREE WILL. AND WE DO BELIEVE IN JESUS. HE IS GODS SON AND HE DID GIVE HIS LIFE FOR OUR SINS. I ALSO GET A KICK OUT OF THOSE WHO TELL US WHAT WE BELIEVE, ESPECIALLY IF IT ISN'T TRUE. PEOPLE JUST MAKE UP WHAT THEY WANT ABOUT THE WITNESSES AND THE NAIVE ONES BELIEVE IT. IF IT IS TRUE THEN LOOK INTO WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE DO. DONT JUST ASSUME TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT THEY TEACH OR BELLIEVE BASED ON SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION. TALK ABOUT HAVING A MIND OF YOUR OWN!!

That would have been very difficult since he was married to his late wife and I was married to my late husband. LOL. Just wondered what they would have said about that! Thanks. You made me laugh. Golly, gee.

"Do you believe in Zotunism? Well, Merry ZOTmas anyway."

Anyway, the fact that JW’s suffer so much persecution and hatred must indicate something good about you. Know what I mean?

P.S. I love Jehovah.

Um...first of all, I don’t think you both mean the SAME Jehovah. To the LDS Jehovah=Jesus, to JW’s Jehovah=God the father.

Secondly, before you two reach across the aisle and sing Kum-by-ah, I would appreciate a response to my question posed to you on another thread.

Okay, you can admit it now. This thread is a prank, right?

Other posts have been funny but yours made me LOL.

Try these for starters.

The Watchtower departs from Biblical teaching when it comes to many important points/truths such as:

1. The Trinity (they say it was invented by the Catholic Church)

2. Salvation by grace (they believe works are necessary)

3. Jesus crucified on the cross (they say it was a stake)

4. Jesus deity (they believe He was the archangel Michael)

5. The bodily resurrection of Jesus (they believe he was raised a spirit)

6. Eternal judgment (they deny hell)

7. The need to be born again (they believe they cannot be born again).

that’s a lot of LOL’ing... :P Maybe you should stop reading that post.

Hey, before I go piece by piece through your post, let me ask you about some other truth I came across in regard to your religion. Note that I have checked with a Witness of my acquaintance and found that these verses say the same thing in the "properly translated" Witness version of the Bible as they do in the "intentionally corrupted" Bible that I use, and that the bold emphasis is mine:

In Revelation 1:17-18, a person says "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." Note that since this person says he was dead and is now alive, he must be Jesus.

Then, in Rev. 2:8, this person again calls Himself the First and the Last, and in 2:27 He says He received authority from the Father, so He cannot be God the Father. In Revelation 22, Jesus again says "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

No big deal, right? Well, here's the problem, in Revelation 21, God...thats GOD THE FATHER says from the throne of Heaven:

"It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son."

So, your religion teaches that Jesus was not God and it is blasphemy to say that He is...but your Bible says that both Jesus and God are "The First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End". That's impossible unless they are the same person!

So, it looks like your masters sold you a bill of goods. Become a true follower of Christ and be free.

“What is a Babtist? “

A Streisand cult.

Imagine the surprised look on the JW faces when a guy wearing a Whermacht uniform opened the door.

That would have been priceless...

ROTFLOL!

I had forgotten about that. Yes, there may have some objection from the spouses.

[reaganaut]

I didn’t see the thread as “baiting” at all. They were all legitimate questions that I would love to see the LDS answer.

One of my professors who was raised Jewish and converted to Christianity, once said: “A faith that cannot withstand questions, is a faith that is not worth having.”

We are both right, and not arguing.
