Funny, many ex-mos say the same things about Mormonism yet we are the ones called bigots and liars here.
OTOH, I agree with you and say the same thing applies to all cults (LDS included).
LOL.
When I lived in Provo, UT, all my LDS neighbors used to send the JWs over to my house (I was LDS at the time). Now, those were fun conversations!!
Geee, where have we heard THAT before? ;)
ROFL!
Why what ever are you implying ;P
You know...lol.
I don’t know how these people can claim that they are the only true Christians when they don’t even believe that Jesus is the Son of God. They believe that Jesus is just another of God’s creations.
ping for your opinion
It goes back to self definition of the terms. Through essentially forms of brain washing, they 'train' the believers to accept their 'truth' as the only truth.
Like mormonism, JW rose from the 'restoration' movement of the early 1800's - each claiming theirs was a 'restoration' of the true church. Yet in both we can see the flawed teachings and outright deceit of its early leadership.
The bible further teaches that people will see those things that tickle their ears - and this religion feeds their egos, allowing them to feel superior.
those Wacky J-dubs...
More delays - perhaps JWs need to review their history more:
1874: Date for Christ’s “invisible presence,” changed to 1914
1914: End of the world
1915: Replaced 1914 for the end of the world
1918: End of the world, the destruction of churches
1925: End of the world with the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
1929: “Beth Sarim” House of Princes built in San Diego, deeded to king David and other biblical prophets for their “soon” return upon the earth
1940’s: End of the World would come with the “soon” battle of Armageddon
1975: 6,000-years of human history, the end of the world would come within “months, not years.”
1994: 80-year Generation of 1914 should bring the end of the world, 1995 redefined the word “generation” to be symbolic of general readiness for the end.
They should consider that the Watchtower society’s interpretation of the scriptures is fundamentally flawed with this many errors/false predictions and excuses. Since they have been wrong on these points - how many other points are they wrong on as well?
That’s what they said.
;D
Paul McCartney? “Someone’s knocking at the door, somebody’s ringing the bell...”
