Jehovah's Witness's (NWT) Flawed??
page: 1share:
Jehovah's Witness's
Was Jesus just a god, or was he God. Let's see what the Word has to say. I always love when Jehovah's Witness's come by my house, when I show them that they are taking the word of a known thief and charlatan via the early 1900's, they argue, then you show them the Greek......
Funny thing is I never get mad, but they never seem to come back..hmmm
Is the New World Translation flawed? Its less than 100 years old or so...and yet we have texts that predate even Islam..

Yeah - flawed to say the least - the founder was even arrested once for lies, proven in a court of law. He never would say where he learned the Greek and Hebrew and would NEVER allow a confirmation of this. I wonder why?
Notice on the last set, the Islamic reply to this verse would indeed be interesting, besides the 'text has been changed'. Some of these texts predate Islam itself by 600 years.

I was raised in this cult, and I can assure you that the reason their bible reads this way is because this group exists primarily to glorify the zionist supreme god Jehovah and so they must work to place Jesus in his lesser position. That's the reason John 1:1 reads that way: It makes Jesus look like less.
A few facts:
1: All JWs are ignorant of Masonry, yet their leaders have been masons/elites from the start. Their founder, Charles Taze Russell, an 1800's preacher, is buried under a masonic pyramid. JWs have no idea who's driving their church, but they are threatened into silence and obedience, so it never comes up much.
2: The JWs believe Armageddon is coming and that theirs will be the worldwide (and only legal) religion after this war. They dream of the "New Order" in which they will be allowed to rebuiild a destroyed world into a paradise and in which all humans will be Jehovah's Witnesses. They will also, in this paradise, be ruled by Illuminated angelic gods from some unknown "heavenly location". Convenient.
3: The Watchtower family of slave-fueled bookmaking companies secretly had been registered as an supportive NGO with the UN (and have published positive pieces about the UN, as required of NGOs) while outwardly preaching that the UN is Satan's tool. More here.
...So if their timeline comes true, the NWT will be the only legal translation of the bible, eventually. But really, since the whole bible is cobbled together and contains both lies and truths, what difference does it really make if theirs it a bit more wacky than anyone else's?

Smallpeeps, I can see by what you wrote that you have looked into it. I understand it as a cult, but I like talking to them and listening to the
"Plain Truth" and then showing them the lost ways that they follow.
Their souls are in danger.......

Yeah, but this post is a little longer than it needs to be. You might want to post 1/5th as many references and more commentary by yourself on why
you think this matters.
Frankly, like I said, this is a small issue except for those Christians who demand to see Jesus as THE God. If you must see him as the same God as the Hebrews worshipped, and which the JWs worship, then it's not the kind of Christianity I agree with.
But if you're saying this is a conspiracy, I'd say yes, it is an active decision by the translators of the NWT bible to translate John 1:1 in this way. They do this to make it clear that Jesus is not God, for that is anathema to Jehovah's Witnesses.

Wow, this is interesting.
I was in Florida visiting my dad and his family who are JW's (he tried to convert me for years with no luck....his daughter is no sheep ;-)
Anyhoo, it was around Easter time, and one day my stepmother brings out a fancy dancy long dress to show me. I asked where she was going to wear it and she told me it was for the celebration the day before Good Friday. I said, which celebration? She said it was the most important day of the year for JW's, the day they CELEBRATE the crucifixtion of Jesus Christ!!!!!
I nearly fell off my chair...I'm not religious by any stretch of the imagination but that that freaked me out. When most Christians celebrate the resurrection, they celebrate his crucifixtion...
Now knowing about the cult's Masonic origins I'm understanding this a bit better. Lavage de cerveau, peut etre?

Yes, but if you actually attend this ritual, you will be even more stupified.
In my post above, I mentioned the Illuminated angelic gods that will rule the JWs future paradise. In fact, these are the higher caste of JW, who total exactly 144,000 (as mentioned in John's revelation at Patmos). These are the only humans who will go to heaven and be with Jesus when they die.
You see, when Charles T. Russell (roscrucian, mason, golden dawn) started the WTBTS (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society), he said every member was going to heaven. He prophesied turn-of-the-century devastation and dawning of a new "Golden Age" circa 1890. He set dates for this event (he knew it was coming), but they came and went. Eventually, he set upon 1914. "Look out for 1914!" became the cry of the "International Bible Students" as they were then called.
Unfortunately, the prophets did not return in 1914 as Russell said they would and there was no paradise. There was however, considerable attention for the little group of "Russellites" who had prognosticated a year the world did, in fact change. After this, Russell was overcome by age, but remains revered by some people in Pennsylvania who do not like the Jehovah's Witnesses and who remember Russell as an actual prophet of sorts.
The WTBTS, being a valuable commodity, just like the little cards in the game Monopoly, was eventually legally wrested from the core of Russell's followers and the new title-holders took the growing corporation/cult into a new age.
Obviously if you make a prediction like 1914 correctly, you are going to gain converts. So lots of JWs came in and pretty soon there were much more than 144,000 of them. Due to Russell's heavenly dogma, the JW corporate leaders had to figure out a way to not irritate the majority heaven-bound Russell-members while opening up the cult to a wider audience. Nobody wants to join a religion where they can't get a great reward, but the new corporate leaders of the JW publishing company couldn't change the dogma that the 144,000 of heavenly ones in the Book of Revelation was a literal number. To change that would alter the mental schema of these very tightly controlled followers and probably reduce the value/credibility of the cult.
They came up with a fairly crude solution: They interpreted Jesus's words about his "other sheep who are not of this fold" to mean that there was a new, non-heavenly hope for anyone who was a late-comer to the cult, now grandiously named "Jehovah's Witnesses". The new 1930's corporate owners painted an Illuminated picture of a paradise Earth (after Jehovah's final bloody war of Armageddon, of course) where this new Earthly group (the 'great crowd') would enjoy bliss in paradise. Ruled of course by the 144,000 'anointed ones', invisibly, from heaven.
So all those JW's you see walking around are members of this group, that is to say, the group that will live through Armageddon and beautify the world after, commonly called the "New Order". They know and accept that they are never going to heaven.
In fact, when viewing the JWs in a conspiratorial light, one sees that after "Armageddon", the world will be able to be whatever the invisible JW corporate leaders say it should be. Presumably the JWs left alive after Amageddon would have some kind of telephone or CB radio in order to receive direction from these rulers in "heaven".
Since most of the 144,000 first-gen heavenly JWs are dead, the ones who are left alive today are verrrry old. There are some younger ones and these are explained vis: "Well, one of the old timers must have lost faith and needed to be replaced." These so-called 'anointed' people somehow know that they are not bound for post-Armageddon garden-planting, radiation removal and tree-trimming like 99% of the JWs on Earth. No, these people are going to heaven.
Having explained this higher caste of JWs, this takes us back to the original issue of the ritual of Christ's death, here's the point: At this evening celebration, held annually around Easter, the JW kingdom halls will fill up. The rank-and-file members (dressed nicely, as mentioned) prepare to pass around the sacraments of Jesus's last supper, represented by a glass of wine and a tray of unleavened crackers. They all quietly sit in this most sacred of rituals. A song is sung and a prayer offered.
So the pastors of the congregation take the sacraments and they pass them around the place --and nobody drinks or eats! Seriously, as a kid, I'd sit there and watch this glass of wine and plate of bread go around the whole place, touching everyone's hands (including mine --it is important for the kids to participate in this ritual also) with NOBODY drinking or eating. This was because we did not have an 'anointed' heavenly member in our congregation. Thereare only 8,000 or so members of the heavenly annointed class remaining on Earth, you see, out of roughly 2 million registered JWs. Only those JWs of heavenly destination may partake, for only they are part of the covenant with Christ.
In congregations of JWs where an anointed member worships, that individual person may drink or eat of the sacraments, but nobody else may do so. Now ask yourself why they would want to have a global ritual in which the sacraments of Jesus's last supper are actively and reverently denied by 99% of the members in attendance. Who would love a ritual like this? Hmmm... Could it beeee.... SATAN??!?
I recommend everyone ask a JW about their 'memorial' and try to attend. Feel free to drink the sacraments because Jesus said you could. Ignore the dirty looks. BTW, if any of this confuses you, imagine getting this taught to you from childhood onward. You wouldn't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

Oh, my friend, I hear you totally on that. This is the most amazing insight. smallpeeps...thank you. My parents divorced years ago (before he converted)...he's been a JW for 30 years or more and both my American brothers have known nothing else. One is an "elder" in the organization!! My Dad and stepmother are older so there's probably no hope for them, but my brothers....its pretty scary. Although they don't push anything on me at all, thankfully. I've discussed things with my younger brother and he's pretty open to talking about different concepts. But they've got it bad over all, the younger has even learned Greek (we're a combination of Portuguese and Spanish) so that he can preach multilingually!
I never stay around long enough when I visit (nothing in common), but it would be interesting to attend this memorial. It all sounds like nonsense to me....how could anyone but the weak-minded and gullible get drawn into this cult? The children, of course, never had a chance!
Are you saying that they purposely translated the text incorrectly to advance a different theology, or that they were merely inept?
I live in Cleveland Ohio (apparently the home of the gullible and brain dead) and am surrounded by dozens of Kingdom Halls... with one just right
around the corner - lucky me!
I get visisted every weekend by some young, well-dressed JWs attempting to "convert" me. What always befuddles them is when I ask, "If only 144,000 of you are going to heaven and you have over 2 million members, what are the rest of you going to do?" I've had dozens of answers to that one but mostly just blank stares. It's really kind of funny but mostly pretty sad.
I am the product of a Roman Catholic upbringing although I am not a practicing Catholic. I did, however, have the benefit of attending a Jesuit college which stressed theology (Not just Catholicism) as a core of it's liberal arts program and was afforded a wonderful opportunity to study other religions as well as logic and philosophy. What really gets me is how completely counter-culture (Read as CULTISH) the Jehovas really are. Their religion defies any sense of logic or rationale. I love debating them as a result. Perhaps someday I will be able to convert one of them.

Hehe. I've had very similar conversations. A man & woman team would stop by and she wore a head covering. I asked why, they quoted Paul saying a woman should cover her head in the presence of a man in prayer since he is to lead. Nevermind the fact Paul was solving a very specific problem about disagreement and church descension at the time, I nodded and we went on. The next time she came over by herself since her husband was sick. She said "let's pray". I asked where her head covering was, she said it only applies to believers in God with Jesus as son. I said am a believer, ready to lead the prayer. She stopped me saying that the rule only applied to Jehovah's Witnesses. I asked where in the Bible that was and got a similar response.
Here are some good opener questions when Jehovah Witnesses want to talk to you about their beliefs:
1.) What happens if I get drafted into the military?
2.) Suppose I'm unconscious in the Emergency Room bleeding to death and the doctor immediately makes the decision to give me a blood transfusion, is this a good idea? Why not?
3.) I'm a busy person. Does it matter that I can only attend 2 meetings a week?
4.) Who do you think I should vote for in the up-coming election?
5.) (Men) Why can't I have long hair and a beard?

Always remember that it is not just a person , but a principality...power...that you are confronting.
If you let yourself forget that...then you could easily be surprised after the meeting. Guilt, depression, doubt, ...heaviness ....
Just be aware...and let the Lord lead.

Are you saying that they purposely translated the text incorrectly to advance a different theology, or that they were merely inept?
Well the supposed leader said he was fluent in Greek and Hebrew but could never prove it and it seems that 'someone' helped him 'interpret' the scripture in a way that denies the Christ....John is the most commonly used verse and the other is this one:
John 14:28 "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
They fail to understand that this is while He was Flesh and had yet not ascended.
Another one that they have trouble with....as does Islam:
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
A cult? you bet.
Fun when they stop by? Well somewhat but sad at the same time, you can show them that their book is flawed from the manuscripts that their supposed leader translated from....its plain as day and yet....they refuse to believe anything else. You can even show them how may times the JW's have had to CHANGE the NWT to omit obvious errors in meaning.
They only stop by my house once.......regretfully.
It is no more flawed than all other versions of the Old Testament, which incidentally means that it is no less flawed.
The Word, was spoken by the Egyptian god of the day, whether it was Atum; Ra or Aten, and it is the stories of those idolatrous Egyptian beliefs carved in stone which parallels the papier derived Hebrew Bible, and consequently from which the Christian Bible derives its teachings.
So why exactly do you choose to direct your attention to just the JW, when in fact you should be directing your energies to the root cause; Egyptian teachings, Edsinger?

Because I do not watse my time with the 'trivial'. In no way did the Hebrews worship an Egyptian god. The God of Noah was not Murduk or Thoth or any other Egyptian god or diety. You find yourself in the very small percentage of folks who look for answers from Gnostic texts?
What you tried a few months back will not work now so save your fingerprints.
As for JW, because I finally HAVE a copy, electronically of course and I find it facinating how they just change a few words here and there and change the ENTIRE meaning of Scripture. Its a dangerous cult.....
By the way, I guess Enoch is walking with an Egyptian god now isnt he? Ezekiel? Daniel?
Oh but you do! By the very fact that you would prefer to deflect incorrect religiousity to that which you deem illicit proves this.

But! I am challenging you and the root, not what some rather young tradition holds, but yours and that which you espouse. I can do so simply by this: Provide the oldest known document that supports your faith which dates prior to anything of Egyptian origin, which I can show, and have already shown is the root of the Hebrew religion, and I will grant that you have the knowledge to be bashing any other belief. I will even provide you with a point of (oldest) reference; if your provision does not reference Joshua, then you are dismissed as a know-nothing.
Ah! but denying same does not make it so. Your Hebrews have nothing that is even equivalent to the Egyptian stone carvings of 4500 years ago, much less papyri older than 2400 years. This from your God who supposedly carved his constitution in stone 5,765 years ago, not once, BUT TWICE! And I repeat...TWICE!
In no way did the Hebrews worship an Egyptian god.
Defensive? The god was in fact Thoth. It is your god, Enoch. Once more, I repeat for you...you have nothing that supports any Hebrew or Judaic text which cannot be found in even older Egyptian hieroglyph or stelae.
The God of Noah was not Murduk or Thoth or any other Egyptian god or diety.
That is exactly what I enjoy. It is always the smaller percentage of above average thinkers that are necessary to push the limits, non? Why, what would we have done without Alexander Graham Bell; Sir Issac Newton or Benjamin Franklin? If they were of lesser intellect, singer, they would have been like you.

My fingerprints? What I tried a few months back? Are you using illicit mind altering substances or even employing illegal methods to try and trace my internet address, or even attempting to access my private information, edsinger? I demand a yes or no response here as no other response affords you any rights.
What you tried a few months back will not work now so save your fingerprints.
I personally believe that: 1) you do so because you blow hot air in that regard and not because anything I say influences you; 2) you contravene the terms and conditions of International Convention and 3) You contravene the TOS of this very site.
Imagine, singer, that one post from me, solicits such animosity from you. I above all others, appear to force you to work hard to stay at least 4 steps behind me.
I really do not care if you have 5,000 copies. If one is wrong, so are the others. This does not address that which I have addressed to you, and that for your edification is: Your Christian text is reliant solely on Hebrew text which in turn is outdated by Egyptian text which points to both Hebrew and Christian theology as being derived from the:
As for JW, because I finally HAVE a copy,
worship of idols and multiple gods.
Only with those of your mindset. Personally, I believe the creators of those myths are dead, and are incapable of thought, including your Enoch/Thoth if they in fact existed.

Well lets see then, by your logic then the Egyptians were copying the Sumerian's? They predate the Egyptians. Root of the Hebrew religion? Who are you trying to blow smoke to? The Hebrew religion was monotheistic, Egypt was not even close. Sumer wasn't either for that matter.

Sounds to me like you have been reading Sitchin. Thoth was not the God referred to as the Ancient one....How could there have been Judaic text pre-Abraham?

So you insult my intellect?Nice touch. Its funny how you would mention Newton (my personal favorite as one of the smartest men in history. Its ashame that a man born with more intellect than you and I put together spent the majority of his time studying the Bible. Ironic isn't it?

By fingerprints I meant wasting your time 'typing' trying to convince me of your Hebrew/Egyptian. I guess you are the smartest man in the world because not to many ascribe to your theory, most understand it as BS.
No drugs......
Like I care 'who' you are. I wouldn't even waste my time, no need, actually I pity you.

Hot air? Ok when you don't like what I say, you are so entitled. I contravene the terms of International Convention do I? GOOD,
John 7:7 "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
Mat 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Well I have had my share of flags I will grant, I wear them with honor. I really could give a hoot less whether you like me or not. When you become a MOD, ban me, until then stop whining.

Animosity? It got that reaction because it failed months ago, maybe you can convince a teenager of this Jehovah was Thoth or Ra or whatever, but it bounces off me. You want to know why? Its something that you can't touch, can't smell, can't see, but sure can FEEL. Its the Holy Spirit. I accepted that free gift and I hope someday you open your heart and accept it also.

worship of idols and multiple gods.
Well if that is what you see it to be then that is your choice, multiple gods are strictly forbidden in both Judaism and Christianity. Just because you think that they are conjured up from Egyptian texts, doesn't mean that you actually are even close to the truth. At least be creative and claim the Sumerian's as they PRE-date your beloved Egyptians. I mean if you wish to call Noah Gilgamesh, then fine, but at least get the right time frame!
Originally posted by SomewhereinBetweenOnly with those of your mindset. Personally, I believe the creators of those myths are dead, and are incapable of thought, including your Enoch/Thoth if they in fact existed.
Well I believe that Enoch never saw death. Why? Because the Creator's Word said as much and that is good enough for me.
You believe whatever you wish, accept that mankind was not created but was the result of some cosmic fart or something. Thats fine, until you actually WITNESS the power of prayer and you get the chip off your shoulder that make you refuse to believe what deep down you know to be true.
Have a nice day!
