    By your last remark you confirm you know very little about the origins of the JW organization and their true founder, Judge Rutherford as you make the common mistake of equating Pastor Russell as the founder. When Judge Rutherford took over the organization shortly after the death of Pastor...

    You sound as though you are relatively new to the JW's, if you are not fully satisfied with the organization maybe its time to move on, but don't give up on your faith.

    It should be rightly understood that although we as Bible Students share some similar beliefs as that of our JW friends (no different for example then Baptist share some similar beliefs as Catholics) we do not agree with the structure of their organization and how it is run. We don’t believe in...

    This is probably the attitude you've experience elsewhere, but I havn't seen one person yet who said you were in a cult or that your worship is godless, not on this site, at least not yet, give it time and the worst of some on this site will rear its ugly head. And what's really striking is...

    Well that sums it up, you don't know anything about the JW's and yet you are criticizing. Was this how you were before you became a Christian criticizing all the various religious organizations which you knew little or nothing of, or is this unique to the JW's alone based upon some preconceived...

    Unfortunately this is true, most people are to lazy to actually investigate for them selves by going directly to the source (in this case an actual JW site to see what they believe), but rather seem content to accept the first thing they read, most of which is written by those prejudice of the...

    JW’s don’t see Jesus as only a man, I’m not a JW but even I am not that naive. You need to stop reading the propaganda posted on the internet by those opposed to the JW’s. JW’s believe as do Bible Students that our Lord in his pre-human existence was the Logos, the Word of God (John 1:1), “the...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 28, Part 6 VERSE 17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings that they might gaze at you.” Lucifer became the epitome of pride. His beauty and wisdom went to his...

    Ezekiel Chapter 28, Part 4 VERSE 14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.” “The anointed cherub who covers (overshadows, protects, a caretaker),” Lucifer was charged with...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    Sorry my friend but that's not faith, that's credulity and without faith (true faith which is based on proven facts) it is impossible to please God.

    The Great Mystery of Evil

    Excerpt taken from a discourse by Brother George Tabac Feb. 1990 The word Mystery or Mysteries comes from the Greek word Musterion and is used in the New Testament 27 times. Strong defines it as a secret or mystery imposed by initiation into a religious rite. Vines Dictionary defines its...

    To hell with me

    The distinction here is made between faith based upon the Word of God, which we have proven for ourselves and “blind faith” which is something commonly practiced by the majority of professed Christians most of whom tend to believe anything stated, which is held by the majority (orthodoxy), and...

    The Permission of Evil, Part 2

    Ability to love implies ability to hate; hence we may reason that the Creator could not make man in his own likeness, with power to love and to do right, without the corresponding ability to hate and to do wrong. This liberty of choice, termed free moral agency, or free will, is a part of man's...

And though, in the working out of...

    Can Satan create?

    The “breath of life” which man received at his creation is not the same thing that we as Christians receive when we receive the Holy Spirit. The “breath of life” is the power of God which brought the organism, the earthly being to life, making it a living soul, whereas the Holy Spirit (at this...
