What Does The Jehovah Witness & Watchtower Magazine Teach That Is Wrong ? BEWARE by Nobody: 2:44pm On Jul 07, 2012 |
There are five important facts to remember about the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Organization. 1. They have accepted the Organization as the Prophet of God. 2. They have accepted the Organization as God's sole channel for His truth. 3. They believe that to reject the Organization is to reject God. 4. They believe that only the Organization can interpret the Bible; as individuals they are unable to do so. 5. They believe the Watchtower Magazine contains God's truth, directed by Him, through the Organization. What does the Organization and Watchtower Magazine teach that is in conflict with Orthodox Christianity? 1. That Jesus is a created being/a creature. 2. That Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel 3. That Jesus was not resurrected bodily, but as a spirit being. 4. That Jesus returned invisibly in 1914 (secretly to the Organization) 5. That Jesus was only a man when on earth, not the Word Become flesh. 6. That the Holy Spirit is only an active force, not the person of God. 7. That Hell is simply the grave. 7. That Heaven's doors is open to only 144,000. 8. That the majority of Witnesses must remain on earth. 9. That salvation is found only through the Organization. 10. That it must be maintained by energetic works for the Organization until the end when one may merit eternal life on a paradise earth. The Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe or teach some of the very basic tenets of Christian doctrine. They deny: 1. The Omnipresence of God. 2. The Deity of Christ. 3. The bodily resurrection of Christ. 4. The visible return of Christ. 5. The Promise of Heaven to all believers. 6. The necessity of the New Birth for all believers. |

But I thought u urself recently concluded that HELL is d common grave of mankind... Or have u been hallucinating lately?? Was it not u that recently argued tooth and nail with ola and many others that Hell is not a place of torment but Hades?? How does that ur new found knowledge differ with that which d witnesses believe in?? Frosbel it seems u'v become so confused as to what u believe and advocate..... Jehovahs witnesses dnt believe in d immortality of d soul which I know and which u recently just knew.... Put it up there in ur list....... U will use those hands and mouth to come bak to back up those teachings up there ur fighting against.... Soonest!!!!!!!!!!!! Its gonna be gradual..... 1st its ur change of understanding as regards Hell... 2ndly is ur change of understanding regarding d immortality of d soul.... Other changes are coming my bro....... If Jesus wasn't fully a man on earth he wouldn't die my bro... Acquire some common sense..... If Jesus was God bodily he would nt die,he would not forget when d world would end,he will not worship some1 else... He wouldn't be called the son of man,...... What do u tink d word ""SON of MAN"" means?? The Jehovahs witnesses have always been right on this issue..... I espouse there stand on it....... 3 Likes |

ijawkid: But I thought u urself recently concluded that HELL is d common grave of mankind... Hades or Hell as translated by the KJV ,is indeed the common grave of mankind. Hell aka Lake of Fire is the final destiny of the wicked who will be destroyed once and for all, so no eternal torment as some so wrongly assume. Agree Frosbel it seems u'v become so confused as to what u believe and advocate..... Only GOD is immortal and he will give immortality only to the righteous Put it up there in ur list....... God forbid. Soonest!!!!!!!!!!!! I have debated JWs for over 10 years and they have not convinced me on the validity of most of their doctrines. 2ndly is ur change of understanding regarding d immortality of d soul.... No change here friend If Jesus wasn't fully a man on earth he wouldn't die my bro... Ask God for wisdom What do u tink d word ""SON of MAN"" means?? Son of MAN The Jehovahs witnesses have always been right on this issue..... JW is a cult friend. Except you be BORN again you shall not see the kingdom of GOD. New International Version (©1984) In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." - John 3:3 |

i have vouch not to discus jw issues but i just culdnt stand their blatant falsehood as their light keep brighter and brighter. The truth of today, to a jw, might become false tomorrow in the next edition of watchtower magazine. While attacking the nazi's for persecuting dem in ww2 in almost all their watchtower magazines, for not assistin in the war efort, they neva mention the allied forces persecutin dem as well cos nazis lost the ww2. If d nazis had won, the watchtowr write-up on ww2 incidence would have been the opposite. This is pure hypocricy perfectly crafted to brainwash most jw without questioning. And if u dare question too much u will be disfellowshiped and finally shunned for challengin any wrong watchtower teachin. May God let mature men reason well. |

Ironically, these positions are easy to defend using the Bible and reason if one of course first accepts some of their own premises. Let me demonstrate this. frosbel: There are five important facts to remember about the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Organization. There is nothing strange about this. The Catholic Church actually does something very similar. They have the Pope who is considered infallible etc. At least, the Jehovah's Witnesses defer to a group and not just one unelected man. frosbel: If Jesus wasn't created, then how could there have been only one God? frosbel: I'm unsure about this. frosbel: This makes more sense than a body walking through walls after it is dead which it couldn't do while it was alive. frosbel: This is not strange in Christian circles. Do you remember Harold Camping? frosbel: It makes more sense than him being both human and God at the same time in the same place. frosbel: Have you considered that their conception of a spirit is different from yours? frosbel: That would be more consistent with a God who doesn't want to see people suffer. frosbel: Says so in the Bible. frosbel: Of course. Who else will a New Earth be for? frosbel: If they were right, that would be true. frosbel: Why else do other churches have workers? frosbel: Does God really need to be omnipresent if he is already omniscient and omnipotent? frosbel: Christ cannot have been both God and man at the same time in the same place. It is logically contradictory. frosbel: Explained above. frosbel: That would be the logical conclusion since they believe his reign has begun. frosbel: Remember that some people are supposed to live on the New Earth so it is reasonable to conclude that they will be believers. frosbel: What do you mean by "New Birth"? Last time I checked, they take their baptisms seriously. 4 Likes |
