Esdb3: Now I know your are really sick. . For making this statement. I remember when I was younger. . A Jehovah Witness told me that Jesus was hung to a tree to die. . . not in a cross form. . The hands were not spread apart like the cross sign, but. . stretched above the head. . What a sick doctrine. . ! 1 Like

hmmmm2015:I laugh at your ignorance. Who gave you the impression that we Dont know of beth sarim and that it is hidden from us? You are simply delusional to say the least. I laugh at people who think they know more about our organization that we do. If you're an avid reader like you pride yourself to be you would know that the 1)proclaimers book & 2)salvation Both published by Jehovah's witnesses covers these subjects extensively. You are so full of yourself that you are blind to your ignorance. Jehovah's witnesses have Jehovah's backing and have never been perturbed by hoaxes and half-truths presented by enemies of Jehovah's organization. Rather than back slide, we are unscathed from such cheap side talks and we continue to make giant strides because we have God's backing. 1 Like |

alexis:You are very WRONG @ No. 3 , Jehovah Almighty God can not die [habakuk 1:12]. But the person spoken of in Rev 1:17 said he was dead . And Yes , there is a big difference in how Jehovah used first and the last nd how Jesus used it . Example : will it be wise to say an only child is Almighty God simply because he introduce himself saying " I am the first and the last " child ? A wise person will consider the context of discusion How JEHOVAH GOD used " first nd the last" ' I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but me' Isa 44:6 . His Been Almighty How Jesus His Son used " first nd last" ' I am the first and the last , and the living one , and I became dead , but Look! I am living forever and ever, ' Rev 1:17 . He used it to describe his unique resurection , he is the first to be raised from dead and live forever , and the last to be raised from dead by his God And Father .(galatians 1:1) Yes , jesus will be the one to resurect others from grave - john 5:28,29 , no wonder he said " I have the keys of death and the grave " rev 1:18 1 Like |

LinuxMint:You can't just pick up three or two bible chapters and interpret them to suit your long held believes. The act of apostles, Leviticus, and deuteronomy you talked about were basically given instructions to the isrealites on the need to abstain from the unclean with special reference to animals. Those passages didn't say one can't contribute or donate his/her blood to save the life of another. Just because you know God loves you, doesn't mean you'll deliberately stand in front of a MOLUE (passenger bus) to get smashed and think you won't die, cos what you explained is tantamount to the aforementioned example. The bible even reverence that ; Heaven help those who help themselves (old saying right?!). It's when you take the necessary steps to help your condition that moves GOD and his grace upon your life, but when you're carefree about delicate issues and leaving God to spoon feed you, that's when he'll feel discouraged about your condition. God has provided us with the necessary means at our disposal to make everything right on earth. Where and how we use them is dependent on us. To me, the ten commandment of our savior, JESUS CHRIST remains the sole nexus to my living on earth, and in so far as it's still valid I'll do all things necessary that's not contradictory to it. |

Are not the JW's pushing for the New World Order while door knocking around all neighbourhoods. Jesus had warned us these things must take place, and sure enough not only the JW's who are pushing for the New World Religion-but the Mother of Churches the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis is behind the scene's calling out to leading Churches around the world so all believers may bind together once again. Revelation 13:16-18 Also it courses all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so no-one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. Revelation 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words from this book of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life. Take note-its a pretty heavy risk to tackle-and you JW's speak with your lips to know God-and yet you don't recognize His Son Jesus, to be your Lord and Savour. Jesus is the true Shepard-He is our gateway to heaven, He is the light of this world, the way and the truth, the true vine, the bread of life I tell you the truth before Abraham was born Jesus said I am. Jesus Christ is Lord. 1 Like |

charlesucheh: what ![]() so u mean blood in dat scripture refers to only animals, humans don't have blood when paul clearly states abstain from blood ? The Bible commands that we not ingest blood. So we should not accept whole blood or its primary components in any form, whether offered as food or as a transfusion. Note the following scriptures: Genesis 9:4 . God allowed Noah and his family to add animal flesh to their diet after the Flood but commanded them not to eat the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with its soul—its blood—you must not eat.” This command applies to all mankind from that time on because all are descendants of Noah. Leviticus 17:14 . “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh[/b], because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the soul, or life, as being in the blood and belonging to him. Although this law was given only to the nation of Israel, it shows how seriously God viewed the law against eating blood. Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” God gave Christians the same command that he had given to Noah. History shows that early Christians refused to consume whole blood or even to use it for medical reasons. Why does God command us to abstain from blood? There are sound medical reasons to avoid blood transfusions. More important, though, God commands that we abstain from blood because what it represents is sacred to him.— Leviticus 17:11; Colossians 1:20. so bro u cannot change God's standards at all.. the bible clearly forbid the intake of blood either eàting nor infusion.... |

Timflex: I am not surprised with the way you've decided to go about the issues I've raised. Your founder from Russell himself to Rutherford keep denying their predecessor's doctrine. Another question for you : Is any portion of the Watch Tower or the Governing Body to be considered a prophet of God, or the voice of God? Do the Governing Body or its associated corporations have better information from God or have a more direct channel to or from God’s thoughts than others? If this is true why has God changed his opinion, based on Watchtower teachings, so many times in Watch Tower history? 2 Likes 1 Share |

dolphinheart: For you to make this statement shows how small-minded you are. Jesus came to the earth in the form of a what? A man. God is in the form of a what? Spirit. Yet still, Jesus rose or not? Mtchew. so John 14 5-11 was Jesus lying? I didn't write that verse afterall.[/quote] Remember, the head of Christ is God. Jesus said the father is his God, and jesus is not the father. So you know more than john in 1john 1:18 or more than Jesus in john 14 5-11? Why do you preach the bible to suit the belief of a fraudster who explained the bible in his own words? Why can't you read the bible and think for yourself? Jesus said 'if you've seen me you have seen the father" Let me explain it to you this way. In John 1:1 John explained that christ was the 'word' that God spoke. More like saying he is the distinct voice of God. Now is a man different from his voice? Nobody is saying God is not at the top of the hierarchy, what we are saying is that Jesus is God and God is Jesus yet God is greater than Jesus. When you get to heaven you can ask God or Jesus what the statement means. Oh! Sorry my bad you won't be going to heaven afterall. Don't worry those of us that go there will send you people the explanation. |

Esdb3: listen to ur conflicting statements.... its just like u saying a son is the father and the father is the son . ..who then produce each other..? lets b frank here,... a son can neva b greater dan his father.... when Jesus said he and his father r one, he refers to their attitudes, thinking, etc... they do things in one accord... Jesus even said that his father is greater than him... even his father later confirmed it during the baptism of Jesus. he said "this is my son the beloved.....". also during d temptation of Jesus, he said to satan " You shall worship the Jehovah your God, and him only shall you serve." so just as hw there cant be 2 presidents or Governors, there cant b 2 Gods.. think about it sir.... |

LinuxMint: For your attention Jehovah's word is never changing. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. From your humble submission, I think it won't be out of place to conclude that we should not trust this your present stance on doctrinal issues as it subject to another review in the light of new revelations and discoveries just like your organisation has predicted the end of the world in more 4 times. Another question for you: Was Beth-Sarim, the Mansion owned and operated by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society in San Diego and used by Joe Rutherford in the 1920’s built as a residence for Enoch and other holy men from the Bible when they were expected to rise from the dead in 1925 by the Watch Tower? 1 Like |
