You are in a cult created by Charles Taze Russell in the late 1800's. The Watchtower is a multi-million dollar tax-free international corporation. Nearly every aspect of its members' lives are dictated by The Watchtower. It is a huge money-making venturing benefiting a few at the top. Your belief system is dictated not by the Bible, but by a group of men, The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society in New York. You are indoctrinated to believe in their interpretation of the Bible and are strongly warned not to draw your own conclusions. You could be labelled an apostate and face disfellowship. You are not free to read from other religions and then reject those ideas, so your religion has taken away your ability to make an informed decision about your spirituality. JWs are wolves in sheep's clothing. They come off as nice and caring because they are trying to sell a product, their religion. Deep down, they believe you are controlled by Satan unless you are a JW. A JW cannot truly be your friend if you not a JW. That would be a "bad association" for them and again, grounds for disfellowship. [/quote] "My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself, 2 so as to pay attention to [b][i]wisdom[/i][/b] with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment; 3 if, moreover, you call out for [b][i]understanding[/i][/b] itself and you give forth your voice for [i]discernment[/i] itself, 4 if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, 5 in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very [i]knowledge of God[/i]. 6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment. 7 And for the upright ones he will treasure up practical wisdom; for those walking in integrity he is a shield, 8 by observing the paths of judgment, and he will guard the very way of his loyal ones. 9 [b][i]In that case you will understand righteousness and judgment and uprightness, the entire course of what is good[/i][/b]. 10 When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge itself becomes pleasant to your very soul, 11 thinking ability itself will keep guard over you, discernment itself will safeguard you, 12 to deliver you from the bad way, from the man speaking perverse things, 13 from those leaving the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 from those who are rejoicing in doing bad, who are joyful in the perverse things of badness;" Pr2;1 [/quote] Jesus warned against false prophets (like JW). "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" Matthew 7:15-16 The "fruits" of the Watchtower cult, their prophecies, have repeatedly proven false. Their argument to this is that the truth is being continually revealed to them. But they are clearly being mislead by false prophets, who change their teachings at their own whims, not through any increased enlightenment. [/quote] The reason JW's present[i][b] no prophesies[/b][/i] is because miraculous gifts expired 2,000 years ago with the apostles, and the complete writing of the bible. Everything regarding qualifying as a candidate for being the meek who inherit the earth is revealed in the bible. Efforts to figure out what prophesy means provides subject for meditation until they're fulfilled and everything is finally understood. [/quote] If you think your "religion" is based on the Bible, then why do you need a group of men in New York state to interpret it for you? Are you not smart enough to figure things out for yourself? [/quote] No I'm not. This is why you haven't explained [i]anything [/i]what so ever, smart as you profess to be. Actually, how about [b][i]you[/i][/b] post the scripture that explains [i][b]this[/b][/i] to me. Need a clue? It's in Mt24. [/quote] Maybe you should reread that portion of Matthew and get a clue. You are letting mortal men (The Watchtower Society) dictate what you believe. [/quote] I am learning Jehovah's solution to Satan's reign of terror, and divine requirements for survival from the WBTS. All I hear from you is that you're superior. [/quote] I don't see where it was said that anyone was superior. Debate much? lol NO NUKES!!!!!lol [/quote]
