jehovahs witness

Posted on 12/21/2009 12:08:37 PM PST by 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!!

John Ankerberg is good. I also like the old “Kingdom of the Cults” by Walter Martin.

Ron Rhodes has some good books out. And for Mormonism, the Tanners (utlm.org) and John Farkas’ (long time personal friend) work is excellent. His wife found the documentation regarding Joseph Smith’s trial for ‘glasslooking’, iirc.

Listen everybody, especially you girls
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe
That a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see her treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell her it’s unfair

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody

Is it right to be treated so bad
When you’ve given everything you had?
Even tossin’ in my sleep
‘Cause I haven’t seen my baby all week
Now, you chicks do agree
That this ain’t the way love’s supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Just to find out all night that I’ve been cryin’
But I believe a woman’s a man’s best friend
So I’m gonna stick by her till the very end
But she causes so much misery I forget how
Love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain’t fair

Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness
Witness, witness

Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be sad
But I have a love that’s twice as bad
Now all you chicks agree
That this ain’t the way its’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness

Thank you for seeing that. I wasn’t trying to bash the Mormons as people. I realize that our fellow Americans and fellow Republicans represent a diversity of spiritual viewpoints. I found those questions especially useful for Christians who may have some Mormon missionaries stop by at their doorstep and for those who want to further clarify what the contrasts are between Mormon tenets and Biblical Christianity.

Ultimately, from an eternal perspective, faith in Christ is what saves souls—not patriotism or the right social views. It was posted in the religion thread for a reason.

I pity them, not only because they believe in a false Jesus, ...

HMMmm...

Where have I heard THAT before??


 
"There are those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints do not believe in the traditional Christ.
 
No, I don't.
The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak.”
 
– LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley (LDS Church News, June 20, 1998)

That Nicolas who clocked Arias was THE Saint Nicholas, who, in Catholic cultures, is credited with inspiring gifts to children, instead of this wierd fat guy named Santa Claus.

I’ll answer #2 pretty quick: For the same reason news reporters kept stating that they were in Washington on September 11th, 2001, in front of the Pentagon, which is in Virginia. Or why Harvard is said to be in Boston, or the Statue of Liberty in New York, or the Vatican in Rome.

Bethlehem abuts Jerusalem.

Nah, I’m giving Joey too much credit.

I read it. If I wrote only for the person I’m responding to, I’d be wasting a lot of time.

Always loved that story about Saint Nicholas. St. Nicholas was my stepfather’s family patron saint (Serbian Orthodox) and so I grew up hearing those things instead of ever hearing about “Santa Claus”.

It stops looping at a count of 144,000.
I wonder if the “badger, badger” thing does too...

In my head, it must be getting close.

It was.

The Cult of Global Warming is much worse and costs us money. At least JW doesn’t charge.

Hebrew didn’t have written vowels. YHWH is the English equivalent of the Hebrew letters and God’s name was never meant to be unpronounceable judging by the thousands of times it’s used in Scriptures.

I was trying to quote “Young Frankenstein.” But I see it was too early in the morning for me and the brain just wasn’t working.

Note to self: it ain’t funny when you have to explain it.
