St. Paul when writing authoritively, uses phrases thus: "that you heard from US..." "...it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to US..." "...OUR Gospel..." Rarely does he refer to himself on such important matters. He doesn't have the "ME, the Bible and the Holy Spirit" mentality, and he not...

Agreed. A mystery is something we can know some things, but we can't know everything about it. That's where faith comes in. Faith and reason are compatible, like 2 wings of a bird. Neither is approaching the shores of a banned topic. This could be an interesting thread, with everyone...

Gen. 17:12, Lev. 12:3 – these texts show the circumcision of eight-day old babies as the way of entering into the Old Covenant – Did the parents of these 8 day old babies say, "lets wait until he is old enough to decide for himself to be circumcised?? Parents play a crucial role for...

A non-sequitur fallacy. Baptism works for infants the same as adults. The difference is that adults need to be instructed as to what exactly they are doing. Scripture gives no age restriction for baptism. Forced conversion or forced baptism (usually by power hungry kings) has never been...

Good point. If infants are excluded from being in a household, then what are they??? Cattle??? If infant baptism is so wrong, why did no one object until the 17th century? (not counting the Anabaptists) Luther and Calvin baptized infants, why is there no objection to them?? And where, exactly...

Agreed, but how is Jesus and the Holy Spirit made unto "Our likeness?" The answer is a banned topic. Spirit

Luke 1:28 [RSV]: "And he came to her and said, 'Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!'" [The RSVCE translates kecharitomene ("favored one" above) as "full of grace"] Catholics believe that this verse is an indication of the sinlessness of Mary - itself the kernel of the more developed...

Who is "we"?

Banned topic.

Agreed. It hasn't changed, it developed, never deviating from the essence of Paul's doctrine. The evidence is there for anyone who wishes to see it. It is incorrect to regard St. Paul as some kind of spiritual “lone ranger,” on his own with no particular ecclesiastical allegiance, since he was...

False premises. Neither Jesus nor Paul taught Christianity would be derailed to the point it would be unrecognizable. You still haven't produced any evidence the Apostolic Fathers (falsely defined as apostates), even after spoon-feeding their names. The WTS "thought police" forbids you from...

The answer you can expect is a distortion of the question. Remain Loyal to Jehovah apostates. Also, some religious leaders spread false information about us to cause unsuspecting ones to leave the truth. It is dangerous for us to argue with any opposers, to read their books or blogs, to go to...

Apostolic Fathers Christian writers of the first and second centuries who are known, or are considered, to have had personal relations with some of the Apostles, or to have been so influenced by them that their writings may be held as echoes of genuine Apostolic teaching. Though restricted by...

According to Biblegateway, apostacy is ə pŏs’ tə sĭ (מְשׁוּבָה, H5412, apostasy; παραπίπτω, G4178, to fall away). The abandonment of one’s religion. This simplistic definition is, roughly, in agreement with every major encyclopedia on the plant, Christian or secular. It's like saying, "I am...

1) Monkeys have legs. 2) I have legs. 3) Therefore I am a monkey. I think you understand the argument.

5 members of Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations charged with child sexual abuse in Pennsylvania Inside the brutal world of the Jehovah’s Witnesses Four Jehovah’s Witnesses charged with sexual abuse of 19 children across Pennsylvania Jehovah's Witnesses sued over 'historical sex abuse' A former...

There are about 5,100 Catholic bishops in the world. Jesus picked twelve disciples, yet one of them betrayed Him. That’s an 8% ratio of “bad apostles / bishops.” Another denied Him three times, but he repented, so (to be gracious) we won’t count that. Using the same ratio, there would be 408...

Posting long lists of issues is an act of desperation, so I take one at a time. The Apostolic Fathers were God's instruments in giving us the Bible, but apostates at the same time? Thank God for the ignore button. The time has come.

Are Jesus and Michael the Archangel Really the Same Person? One of the most peculiar of the WTS’s teachings is their assertion that Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel. If the JW has difficulty explaining any particular doctrine, it will be this one. Even JWs will admit that if one were to...

2000 years and we are standing stronger that ever. A kingdom with no queen would have been unthinkable to a 1st century Jew. The Davidic Kingdom was monarchical. You don't know what means. A collection of "Kingdom Halls" is not in the Bible. False Bibles were rejected, the same as any...
