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!!
In (the) beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God , and the Word was a god....
There's your post. That means there's 2 Gods. How do you reconcile that?
(this should be fun)...
(this should be fun)...
Go there, read, get back with us.
It is all there, down to the last error.
Oh and you still have not told anyone that I have seen what your affiliation is.
Certainly you should be as equally a strong advocate of your own belief system as you are the Witness with whom you "studied the bible"...
Probably not. NGZ will just avoid answering because the doctrine has been proven false. It’s not a claim that I’ve made but a contradiction in their teaching. And it’s a HUGE one.
“If you don’t want to link “your sources”, then this discussion is over.”
Apparently, you wish for someone to come it,
towel over the arm and make your life just so
easy. I gave you citations. If you wish to discuss
them, follow the citations.
I’m not here to make your life easy. If you wish
to discuss, then discuss. If not, just say, “Well,
really, I just thought I’d stop by and tell you
that every cultist I met was really, really nice
and helped me with the Bible.”
That’s OK.
The fun part is watching these cult folks duck around such issues.
It is quite a thing to behold, I especially like the parsing and obfuscation.
Looks like I will have to revise my earlier posting:
If facts mattered, there would be no Later Day Saints...
...or Jehovah's Witnesses...
That can be entertaining. But we are talking about NGZ’s salvation and it’s important that she THINK and get it right. The people she studied with may have been sweet and wonderful but that doesn’t make them right. And it could cost her eternity with God.
Sometimes this method, as harsh as it maybe, is the only thing that will bring on the “eureka” moment.
I agree. And she is responding to the affection that she feels for these people and not hearing the contradictions she was taught. Emotion is blinding her to Truth.
Hallmark of a cult. We are your only TRUE friends, we love you, indeed we love you so much we choose you to hear the truth...
“We’re your only friends” is the hallmark of anyone looking to control. Abusive people use it too. Right after they separate a person from those who really do care.
Kinda see a pattern forming...
The facts are that MORMONism was delivered to earth by a couple of Angels of Light to an ignorant 14 y.o. farmboy.
Their doctrine was delivered via bad Greek translation...
“The “it” they refer to is THE BIRTH, THE SIGN, not the child.”
No, FRiend. “It” isn’t in the Greek text. It was chosen
by the NWT team because it supports their view - or they
started with the KJV and then just changed words where they
could to support their theology.
Modern translations have shifted to reflect “Him” or the “baby”.
17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
NKJV
17 After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child.
NLT
I will also reflect back to you that twice you have answered
my post by picking at the simplest of things, while setting aside the complete heresies without comment...
Inquiring minds want to know why?
ej,
don’t miss that the “witnesses” had their truth delivered by angels too!!!
Yes. And it’s all about control.
Might have well been Fed Ex...
