What are the political implications of these people knocking on your door?
>>527939977They'd be harmless enough if they didn't tell their followers they're not allowed to get blood transfusions. That's just straight up evil.
They don't believe in Christmas
>>527940204Fucking communists
>>527940204Childhood JW here. We don't even get fucking birthdays, couldn't go to the other kids parties either
>>527939977If you tell them you're an apostate they'll mark your neighborhood as a no-go zone
>>527940144It's really fun to see the children slideshow at the annual convention of those who sacrificed themselves for Jehovah. Completely not a death cult
>>527940204they don't celebrate ANY holiday
>>527940280Based Etho
>>527940431>>527940144Jehovah's Witnesses reject blood transfusions. Blood tranfusions are dangerous no matter what. They are so dangerous that hospitals won't take responsibility for them. They demand that either you or the person responsible for you sign a waiver from any damage done from the transfusion itself. Bloodless medicine should be the standard but the Blood Cartel..I MEAN... the Red Cross will do everything in its power to not allow this. Same reason why you will never have a cure for cancer. Not profitable.Opponents never talk about the constant successful non-blood operations JW have all the time. We dont' let our kids die. We choose alternatives in the form of bloodless surgery. Even non-JW get them all the time. Like blacks getting killed by police, opponents would have you believe all JW die at the operating table and sensationalize it as if it happens all the time and every day.The problem is that a lot of hospitals refuse to give us this treatment because it either: cost them money, are not trained for this, are ignorant on the dangers of blood, or just straight out bias because they see blood transfusions as the "life saving" and even charitable. Refusing charity is a blasphemy to people. As a result, they complicate this while the person is dying. By the time they win the court case to not receive a transfusion it is too late. The problem isn't us, it is the medical industry, we deny them money for demanding safer procedures which they lose money out on. Blood, like Chemo, is a huge Pharmaceutical business. Same argument with cancer patients who demand holistic treatment of their cancers and the medical industry gets mad for refusing their expensive drugs. That is why holistic doctors are getting assasinated across the country for curing cancer.
>>527940204Correct. Pic related
I had sex with a JW girl, she was hot.
>>527940327You ask us to disinclude you from our address list. >>527940578We only celebrate the Memorial of Christ Jesus death.
>>527939977>What are the political implications of these people knocking on your door?I think this happened once, yeah not too sureSo I said gimmie a sec, what the heckThey stood in the doorI played something they never seen beforeSomething somethin like two whole buckets o' pussy juice 900 of those shitty cellulose picks later40 licks bucko, fuckin line em up here we go Eleven full cranksHa, now I know how he chopped the mountain hey, check that shit out*Offers bottle*Just a lil bit, heh>You can call me Nuckin' FastyThey won't come back,
>>527941409You would be labeled an apostate for being on this website. You don't follow the Bible, you follow the orders of the Governing Body (that no longer has being anointed a requirement). They gave Anthony Morris a house in North Carolina to stay silent about the changes the organization will experience soon. Celebrations and birthdays will be allowed soon, because of the loss of members.
>>527941293Blood transfusions are disgusting and barbaric. I can't stand the idea of touching someone's saliva, imagine injecting it into your veins. We don't even know what filthy wacko a bag of old blood could have from, but let's just blindly chug it down!
>>527939977Why do they always come at you with this angle?
>>527939977Jw are closet faggots, and jw girls are My fav anal whores
>>527941293what's your stance on child genital mutilation?
>>527941912They have already known I'm here for over 10 years now. When Paul went to go preach to Athens the city was fully of idols. There were also a lot of penis statues in honor of Hermes.(Acts 17:16). /pol/ is tame compared to ancient Athens. Yet Paul was commended for walking through all those pornographic idols and preaching to them.>>527941931Agreed. They let gays and tattooed people donate blood.>>527942031Circumcision? It's not required for Christians.
>>527942217>When Paul went to go preach to AthensMy favourite part of Acts is when all the Greeks are laughing at him and calling him a schizo. Based Greeks.>You say this man is your king... and he is dead...? lmao
>>527942217>They have already known I'm here for over 10 years nowDoubt it. Let's see your written correspondence with your local Elder with approval from the Governing Body for your "work". People have been kicked out of Bethel for less
>>527939977It's basically a cult, if I was ever the supreme ruler of the US i would ban this shit instantly and put bounties on the heads of every single one of the boomers who run the watchtower organization. These fucking faggots preach that doomsday is here and coming shorty, every single time, but have millions in real estate.This religion tore my family apart, they all deserve to suffer. I don't believe in genocide, but when I do, I start with the witnesses, then jews
>>527942217Former JW here, I am owed a fucking apology from elders (cultists) for shaming me and lecturing me in the past to shave while now it's perfectly okay. You are all scum and will soon be a thing of the past as a organization.Not to mention the congregations are full of sex predators.
>>527942217ok thanks for answering on circumcision Now I take issue with the 'Roman Empire breaks down' under 'Aurelian'He not only restored the Roman Empire back to its glory, but was also an ardent follower of Sol Invictus who was identified by future generations with Jesus Christ
>>527939977They get the most complaints from prostitutes.
>>527942632>sex predators.Bethel's laundry department is full of lisping faggots. Every Bethelite has heard of the guy drugging someone and sucking his toes and raping him.
>>527942530We don't need permission to preach online. Again >>527942217 Paul preached in Athens surrounded by penis idols dedicated to Hermes. We can preach to anyone.
>>527942634Sol Invictus who was identified by future generations with Jesus Christ>(2 Corinthians 6:14-17) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? 15 Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Beli·al? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: “I shall reside among them and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 “‘Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take YOU in.’”>(1 Corinthians 10:21) YOU cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; YOU cannot be partaking of “the table of Jehovah” and the table of demons.
>>527942716Why?
>>527942583>This religion tore my family apartMy parents sabotaged me and my siblings by not allowing us to go to higher education, because our dad was/is an Elder. (When he was a college grad himself.) Now the organization allows higher education, beards, and women to wear pants. I heard from my Bethel sources celebrations are next. My childhood was ruined because of their stupid rules they imposed on us, and osterized me throughout school.
>>527942764>Preaching on /pol/You would be disapproved if not straight up disfellowshipped if they knew you were speaking with such wordily people such as us. I bet you count being here as your field service time. Fucking disgrace.
>>527941912>Celebrations and birthdays will be allowed soon, because of the loss of members.Please elaborate.
>>527942764>None of the methods we have used to reach large audiences, such as newspapers, the “Photo-Drama,” radio programs, and the Web site, were meant to replace the door-to-door ministry. Why not? Because Jehovah’s people learned from the pattern set by Jesus.https://wol.jw.org/ase/wol/d/r266/lp-asl/1102014246You're not allowed to use websites outside of official JW site for ministry. Stop lying
>>527942951>The rules changingIt's the same with the blood transfusions. In the 40s someone decided "don't eat blood" also includes blood transfusions.
>>527943118>You're not allowed to use websites outside of official JW site for ministry.I do remember about 10 years ago being instructed not to use social media to preach, because it could endanger brothers in countries under ban. I don't remember the other reasons.
>>527939977They're a heretical sect. Claim to be Christian but they're not because they believe Jesus was the archangel Michael. They behave as a cult in that if you quit, they will make your friends and family shun you. Unlike the mormons they are underachievers, they discourage education past high school. They will come to your door in twos, sometimes women. If you see a woman coming to your door, tell her to try to get her talking quota by getting one of those gigs in front of a table handing out Watchtower flyers. Yes, they have a quota on how many hours a week they need to be out there trying to convert people. >>527940144They now allow transfusions of blood fractions but not a full transfusion. That won't help all the Jehovah Witnesses that would have lived from a life saving transfusion of blood fractions had they allowed this from the start. The blood transfusion restriction comes from them misinterpreting scripture like they constantly do. The Old Testament said "do not consume blood" to tell the people to avoid partaking in evil pagan ceremonies but it wasn't intended to prevent life saving medical procedures.
>>527943103>Please elaborate.The JW organization has made massive changes like allowing beards, women can wear pants, and service runners don't have to be baptized anymore. Mind you there was a fracture in the past about beards bans that created a splinter group, The Russellites. They're doing this because they're losing members. Their membership counts includes people like me, who are inactive, as members to boost their count. I have intel that celebrations, and even more controversial, heaven, will be introduced. They're going to do away with the Paradise Earth narrative to make themselves seem like other "normal Christians" sects.
>>527939977Jesus Christ is God and the trinity is real. Now please leave me alone you temu Muslim.
>>527942842still does not explain the insult to LVCIVS DOMITIVS AVRELIANVS
>>527943118You just took that paragraph out of context. We use phone witnessing, letter writing and carts like pic related to preach to people we cannot reach at the door. Internet preaching is not an established alternative to preaching but it's a method I use because I am good at it.
>>527943488>because I am good at it.That's some cope. Let's see your records as submitting /pol/ as ministerial work
>>527943380I don't want to spam the thread too much. Here's my previous post on the Trinity.

>>527939977Per preddit, knocking on the door is just to reinforce the rest of the world hates them and they should stay in the cult. As to the rest of the insane shit>heaven is limited to 144,000>BUT, you don't want to go to heaven because the world itself will be paradise, stop talking about the 144,000 (or the 6 gorillion for that matter)>satan gets one last chance after armageddon to bring people to his side, then he and those that went with him just stop existing, poof, never there>literal autist view that god/father/ghost are completely separate and cannot all be the same as one>BUT, watchtower(tm) just this past year said you can toast to drinks and say cheers. shunning and all of the other cult shit is still on the table, but cheersing is allowed. await further firmware updates>>527943372I await further firmware updates regarding paradise
>>527943279>I don't remember the other reasons.There's an overall tone of not having a relationship with worldy individuals if you were not bible studying with them. Nobody here has asked anon to study the bible with him, so he's not performing his duties as a faithful servant.
>>527943768He's counting his 'preaching' to /pol/ as his service time. It's shameful and hilarious. He would be given a very stern talking if not straight up reprimanded if they knew he was here.
>>527943592That's confidential.>>527943372Absolutely nonsense >>527943369Don't kid yourself. The people getting disfellowshipped are not intellectual critical thinkers who were brave enough to stand up for themselves. They are people who got disfellowshipped for lying, adultery, dating non-believers, smoking, alcoholism, fornication, uncleanness, theft, homosexuality, etc. Those same people then go around telling everyone they got kicked out for being critical thinkers.
>>527943917They have already known I'm here for 10+ years. They only warned me to just be careful and use good judgment. They gave me their blessings back in 2012. Being here is not a replacement for door-to-door preach but it's an alternative like letter writing, phone witnessing, cart witnessing for people we cannot reach at home. Pic related is an usual but creative way to preach.
>>527943661An archangel couldn't die for your sins and everyone's sins. Only God could.Jesus is God. Your own corrupted translations still point that out even after all your attempts to distort and twist God's word.>A voice of one calling out in the wilderness: “Clear up the way of Jehovah! Make a straight highway through the desert for our God. (Is.40:3)>In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Ju·deʹa, saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” This, in fact, is the one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet in these words: “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of Jehovah! Make his roads straight.’” Matthew 3:1-3>He said: “I am a voice of someone crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make the way of Jehovah straight,’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.” (John.1:23)>This is the one about whom I said: ‘Behind me there comes a man who has advanced in front of me, for he existed before me.’(John.1:30)That’s all New World Translation. How much clearer did John the Baptist and Isaiah have to be that Jesus was Jehovah?But it gets worse. Jesus Himself even quotes Malachi in Matthew 11:10 and Luke 7:27>“Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will clear up a way before me And suddenly the true Lord, whom you are seeking, will come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant will come, in whom you take delight. Look! He will certainly come,” says Jehovah of armies. (Malachi 3:1)That’s John the Baptist clearing the way for who? For the true Lord! Who shows up? Jesus! “Clear a way before me” says Jehovah
I was a jw till I left when I was 13. AMA
>>527943661Temu Muslim. Everyone is tired of your kikery. Just stop. No one is reading your tired heresy. I know you think your regurgitated shit doesn’t stink but you are in a cult
>>527943917>>527943999>He's counting his 'preaching' to /pol/ as his service time. It's shameful and hilarious. He would be given a very stern talking if not straight up reprimanded if they knew he was here.I knew a family disfellowshipped for supporting their son's athletic career in high school. They tried to use the "serving Jehovah" and "spreading the Truth" as an excuse; it didn't work. I've seen someone reprimanded for being part of a bird watching club, because it was ran by worldly people. OP is young and doesn't even know his own organization.
>>527944264How many times were you molested and by how many men?
>>527943731>heaven is limited to 144,000Correct >>BUT, you don't want to go to heaven because the world itself will be paradise, stop talking about the 144,000 (or the 6 gorillion for that matter)Why would you want to leave earth? Pic related is where we will live forever. >>satan gets one last chance after armageddon to bring people to his side, then he and those that went with him just stop existing, poof, never thereCorrect >>literal autist view that god/father/ghost are completely separate and cannot all be the same as oneCorrect, Trinitarian heresy. >>527943768Our relationship with worldly people is limited. Not outright prohibited.
>>527939977Best not to listen to people that can't translate koine greek
>>527943999> disfellowshipped for lying, adultery, dating non-believers, smoking, alcoholism, fornication, uncleanness, theft, homosexualityEveryone is a sinner. Your cult is insane
>>527944264are JW's discouraged from interacting with "wordly" people by their church? The one's I've met claim it's not true but I don't believe them, also most of them seem like they secretly don't want to be apart of the whole thing.
>>527944365They’re terrified of leaving the cult and losing their jobs and being on their own
>>527944202>An archangel couldn't die for your sins and everyone's sins. Only God could.God cannot die. >(Habakkuk 1:12) Are you not from long ago, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die.[...]>(Daniel 6:26) ...For he is the living God and One enduring to times indefinite,[...]>(Revelation 4:9) And whenever the living creatures offer glory and honor and thanksgiving to the one seated upon the throne, the one that lives forever and ever,That alone disproves the Trinity. Someone else had to die because God cannot.
>>527944202The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Feeduck and Seeduck".
>>527944329I'm 43 and have been a JW for 18 years. I wasn't born in the truth, I converted as an adult at 25.
>>527943999I never said anything about people kicked out for your questionable list sins. I compared JWs to a cult because they will make everyone around you, including your family, shun you if you quit.
>>527944536That's because it's a Bible teaching, not an elder/Watchtower teaching. >(2 Corinthians 6:17) “‘Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take YOU in.’”>(Ephesians 5:11) and quit sharing with [them] in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness, but, rather, even be reproving [them],>(2 Thessalonians 3:6) Now we are giving YOU orders, brothers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the tradition YOU received from us.>(1 Corinthians 5:6)... Do YOU not know that a little leaven ferments the whole lump?>(1 Corinthians 15:33) Do not be misled. Bad associations spoil useful habits.>(2 Corinthians 6:14-17) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? 15 Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Beli·al? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: “I shall reside among them and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 “‘Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take YOU in.’”>(1 Corinthians 10:21) YOU cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; YOU cannot be partaking of “the table of Jehovah” and the table of demons.
>>527944345>Not outright prohibited>Do Not Yoke Yourselves With Unbelievers>We cannot expect to remain a friend of God if we side with those who choose to be friends of the world. >https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1989807>https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2009764Why are you lying? They clearly do not want members to have personal relationships with non-believers
>>527944445Jesus is true God and true man. The flesh died keep up.
>>527944365> are JW's discouraged from interacting with "wordly" people by their churchYes. Basically you are encouraged to only talk to outsiders as a means to get them to join. This usually means that your entire friend circle/support system are members of the org. If you leave, you lose your entire social life and are isolated since there is a shunning policy. So even if they want to leave because they don't believe, they may stay for years due to fear.
>>527939977JWs are very common in brown countries. I've never met a non-brown JW who didn't push mass immigration in order to accelerate their conversions.
>>527943768My ex-wifes' mother was a JW. She struggled. I had soooo many chances to decapitate her beliefs, but I never did. I always thought it was only thing keeping her from reaching for the bottle...
>>527944751I have a JW girl added on social media, does that mean she could get in trouble if they found out she had me added on there?
They showed up in my neighborhood in high end luxury cars, a new Range Rover, an X7, etc. this was the second time they visited me so I redpilled them pretty hard and they haven’t come back.
>>527944820Yep. They’re fearful and miserable. It is truly a miserable cult that offers nothing but terror
>>527944845Also this. They are highly materialistic and many are fakes in it for financial gain. If they leave the cult they lose their comfy lifestyles. They’re as bad as Indian gurus
>>527944536>>527944649A requirement to keep the congregation clean from corruptive influence.>(Titus 3:10, 11) As for a man that promotes a sect, reject him after a first and a second admonition; 11 knowing that such a man has been turned out of the way and is sinning, he being self-condemned.>(Romans 16:17) Now I exhort YOU, brothers, to keep your eye on those who cause divisions and occasions for stumbling contrary to the teaching that YOU have learned, and avoid them.>(2 Thessalonians 3:6) Now we are giving YOU orders, brothers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the tradition YOU received from us.>(2 Thessalonians 3:14) But if anyone is not obedient to our word through this letter, keep this one marked, stop associating with him, that he may become ashamed.>(2 John 10) If anyone comes to YOU and does not bring this teaching, never receive him into YOUR homes or say a greeting to him.>(1 Corinthians 5:11) But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.>(Matthew 18:15-17) “Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 ... take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. 17 ..., let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector.The other Jews generally avoided voluntary association with tax collectors and classified them with persons known to be sinners, including harlots. (Mt 9:11; 11:19; 21:32; Mr 2:15; Lu 5:30; 7:34) Hence, to treat a “brother” who proved to be an unrepentant wrongdoer like “a tax collector” meant having no voluntary association with him.—Mt 18:15-17.
>>527944835If she is adding you for the purpose of converting you they would permit it. They will use her pussy as bait
>>527944714If unbelievers are family and marriage mates non-believers, coworkers it's alright. But it's limited. If we withdraw from everyone like the Amish then we cannot be a light to the world.
JWs are anti-Trinitarians? Hit me up on their core beliefs on the trinity. Do they like Arius? Give it to me straight.
>>527944959Yeah it’s over. You can cherry pick as many Bible verses as you want but people don’t care any more about your temu Islam
>>527944736>The flesh died keep up.Then he never died then. He just shed his meat costumes like the angels of old that incarnated themselves. They could eat, drink and even have sex and procreate in their meat costumes. They were never human. They just materialized "meat costumes." When they went back to heaven they just "shed" their costumes. But they never "died and went to heaven." (Ge 18:2; 19:1,12; Jos 5:13,14; Jg 13:3,6; Heb 13:2)Yet the Bible explicitly says Jesus died. If Jesus just shed his meat costume like those angels up above then he never died. So the Bible lied.
>>527944941Just tell them to look up the synagogue of Satan verse. The pulled up the little bible app on their phones, they had no idea it existed, they kept talking about reading the bible and I was like “what about this line”
>>527945076They do not believe Jesus is God. They are essentially Muslims. They are not Christians.
>>527945018Not sure if she is or not, but we rarely talk about the religion, in fact, I'm the one who brings it up most of the time, she mostly just flirts with me and we talk about music and other stuff. I don't know what to think
>>527944714>Not outright prohibitedHe's right, it's not prohibited, meaning dating, marrying or being friends with unbelievers won't result in a disfellowshipping. But there will be loss of privileges, loss of standing, and a general social avoidance from the brothers.BTW, I say brothers and not "the friends". That retarded term started being used around 20 years ago, and makes me keep thinking "We are the Super Friends!"
>>527944835No, again it's not a black and white issue. The apostates are trying to make it a black and white issue but it's not. You can be friends with unbelievers but your association must be limited. Otherwise, we would have to become like the Amish and become isolated.
>>527945113lol.
>>527945146I want to hear it from them, not from you. I am not and never will be a Christian. Athanasius invention of the trinity is very obviously a bundle of nonsensical political lies that you pretend makes sense.
>>527945113Is this what you do? Cherry pick verses to argue with orthodox Christians so that you feel less afraid of your own mortality and build up goodgoy points with your elders so you can get a Range Rover? Is this really your life? Just going around calling the Bible a lie?
>>527944524>I'm 43 and have been a JW for 18 yearsThat's sad. You probably don't even have a family, because you convinced yourself that was the best way to serve where the need is great. The end is near! So why have a family? Why plan for the future? A pathetic life. The organization won't be there for you when you're no longer useful to them, and when you need help the most. I knew brothers who were broke and desperate trying to survive by the organizations rules, and the organization wouldn't help in anyway. They received help from Catholics and Jewish organizations; food, utilities paid, etc.
>>527945263You don’t have access to the internet and can’t access a qrd of JW on your own
>>527939977>you need more info to take a conclusion ?
>>527945373I was hoping the JW ITT would give me a QRD
>>527945076Start with my archived post. >>527943661Then here https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/526274779/#q526276507TLDR, God’s name is Jehovah. His very first creation ever was a spirit being he named Michael. That same being was renamed Jesus when he came to Earth. The holy spirit is a thing. Not a person. It's the equivalent of a drone, remote control or computer program. It's a tool used by God, Jesus and men to accomplish assignments.
>>527939977Cult
The bigger problem....Divide and conquer.

>>527944845There's nothing wrong with being wealth. >(1 Timothy 6:17-19) Give orders to those WHO ARE RICH in the present system of things not to be high-minded, and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment; 18to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, 19safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that they may get a firm hold on the real life.
>>527945263They believe in one God, whose personal name is Jehovah.They reject the Trinity. God is not three persons; Jehovah alone is God.Jesus is not God but God’s first and greatest creation.Jesus existed before his human life, as a spirit being.He is identified with the archangel Michael.Jesus died on a stake (not a cross).His death provides a ransom that makes salvation possible.He was resurrected as a spirit, not physically.The Bible is God’s word, but they use their own translation:The New World Translation.Interpretation is guided by the Governing Body, a small leadership group.Individual interpretation is discouraged; unity of belief is emphasized.Only 144,000 people go to heaven.They will rule with Christ.Everyone else who is saved will live forever on a restored paradise earth.Most people do not go to heaven.The soul is not immortal.At death, a person ceases to exist (no conscious afterlife).Hell does not exist as a place of torment.The wicked will be destroyed permanently (annihilation).We are living in the “last days.”Christ began ruling invisibly in 1914.A final battle (Armageddon) is coming.Only Jehovah’s Witnesses will survive Armageddon as an organization, though individuals are judged by God.No birthdays, Christmas, Easter, or national holidays.No voting, military service, or political involvement.Strict rules about conduct and belief.Members who leave or are expelled are often shunned, including by family.The Governing Body (based in the U.S.) is believed to be God’s channel on earth.Loyalty to this body is considered loyalty to God.There you go. JW in a nutshell
>>527939977Jehovas witnesses are a cult of doomsday worshippers who have been declared heretical by every trinitarian church in the world. They're just as bad as Mormons but twice as culty

>>527945419Does the church have any strong feelings on Arius and Arianism? Kinda seems like you guys might be in the same category without getting too into the weeds.I think from a pure biblical stance, you are actually correct. The Trinity is a political invention of the Greek early church.My other quibble with you is that you shit on these Greek church fathers by saying they're doing Greek philosophy, but I'm sure you know that the Gospel of John begins with Jesus being referred to as the "logos". But John is "canon" for some reason and these other guys aren't? weird
>>527945037>If unbelievers are family and marriage mates non-believers, coworkers it's alrightThat's not true. The case in Norway proved they actively use shunning as a practice on individuals not disfellowshipped, which is why they had to back step disfellowshipping as a practice.>Is strict avoidance really necessary? >Yes, for several reasonshttps://www.jw.org/en/library/books/gods-love/disfellowshipped-person/There's individuals who are treated like they're disfellowshipped when they're inactive, and still counted as a member in the organization.
>>527945502That's fair enough.>>527945550>Jesus died on a stake (not a cross).There is a strange passage in Acts where it literally says that Jesus died being hung from a tree, which almost gave me whiplash when I read it the first time.
>>527945637They don’t use the Bible. They have their own book

C.U.L.T.
>>527945550
>>527945550The problem with JW is that doctrine for them is determined by them coloring in the lines of which books are biblically canon and which aren't. But they themselves don't decide which books are canon, they're just taking it for granted, and then doing their own divergences from the modern church. They're willing to question church authorities and diverge only up to a certain point in history at which point they stop questioning things. They never actually go all the way and question the entire thing because then they wouldn't have a religion to begin with.
>>527945076They think they're the new jews, God's Chosen people. They do not believe in hell, like jews. They believe Earth must be cleansed, so only Jehovah Witnesses inherit Paradise Earth.
>>527945676Go back to the church fathers and original Greek for translation and interpretation. Not everything is well explained in English and especially in context of the OT. Seek apostolic interpretation not just your own interpretation
>>527945735Sheeeeeeit>>527945828Yeah, the explanation was that "tree" was really the word for wood and could mean many things. Plausible but still strange.

>>527945778>Hebrew NonsenseGreat descriptor of not only that entire film, but also the entire book (Exodus) it's based on.
>>527945920>In the Book of Acts (5:30, 10:39, 13:29), the phrase "hanged on a tree" refers to the crucifixion of Jesus, using the Greek word xulon, meaning wood, timber, or a stake. I posted it because their doctrine of believing he died on a stake piqued my interest since I also questioned this exact passage when I read it.
>>527945761144,000 is directly from Book of Revelation.

Pal, I don't know if you know this, but you're a heathen.
>>527945657I'm talking about unbelievers not inactive. We are not Amish and isolate ourselves. We have friendly relationships with coworkers, next door neighbors, unbelieving family members, children, parents and marriage partners. They are just limited with boundaries. >>527945637>Does the church have any strong feelings on Arius and Arianism?No, we salute him for standing up for the truth he knew about that time but we don't follow his interpretation of God. > The Trinity is a political invention of the Greek early churchCorrect. A scheme to include Pagans without a full convergence. >Greek church fathers by saying they're doing Greek philosophy, Because some of the Church fathers were originally Platonic students who converted later. That's why they were so studious and well versed in the scripture. They were already trained to research thought and teachings. The problem was that Christians back then were seen as uneducated people and the church fathers took that personally. So they started to use their old Platonic education to interpret the scriptures. They were the original framers of a primitive Trinity.

>>527945809The Bible already had an established canon before the Catholic and Protestant churches came along.>OTJewish tradition credits Ezra with beginning the compiling and cataloging of the canon of the Hebrew Scriptures, and it says that this was completed by Nehemiah. Ezra was certainly well equipped for such a work, being one of the inspired Bible writers himself as well as a priest, scholar, and official copyist of sacred writings. (Ezra 7:1-11)>“We do not possess myriads of inconsistent books, conflicting with each other. Our books, those which are justly accredited, are but two and twenty, and contain the record of all time. Of these, five are the books of Moses, comprising the laws and the traditional hisstory from the birth of man down to the death of the lawgiver. . . . From the death of Moses until Artaxerxes, who succeeded Xerxes as king of Persia, the prophets subsequent to Moses wrote the history of the events of their own times in thirteen books. The remaining four books contain hymns to God and precepts for the conduct of human life.” - The Jewish historian Josephus, in answering opponents in his work Against Apion, around 100 CE (I, 38-40 )>NTIn the first century C.E., letters from Paul, James, Peter, John, Jude, and the governing body in Jerusalem contributed to the growth and the preservation of the unity and cleanness of the Christian congregation.—Ac 15:22-31; 16:4, 5; 2Co 7:8, 9; 10:8-11; 2Co 3:7; Ac 28:21; 2Th 2:2; Heb 13:22. All those were compiled.The oldest known reference to the NT Bible canon is the Muratorian Fragment which dates back to 170-200 CE. The Fragment mentions a non-Biblical book, the Shepherd, and states that a man named Hermas wrote it “very recently, in our times, in the city of Rome.” Scholars date the final writing of Hermas’ Shepherd between 140 and 155 C.E.The RCC didn't compile the Bible. God compiled it himself.
>>527945809>>527946213The Tosefta, a written collection of oral laws that was completed by about 300 C.E., says with regard to Christian writings that were burned on the Sabbath:>“The books of the Evangelists and the books of the minim[thought to be Jewish Christians] they do not save from a fire. But they are allowed to burn where they are, they and the references to the Divine Name which are in them.”This same source quotes Rabbi Yosé the Galilean, who lived at the beginning of the second century C.E., as saying that on other days of the week,>“one cuts out the references to the Divine Name which are in them [understood to refer to the Christian writings] and stores them away, and the rest burns.”The Jews admitted that the Jewish Christian not only had their own books between the 1st and 2nd century but those books also had Gods name in it at the time. The Bible was done and collected by the 1st century.

>>527946095I was raised Christian, went through an edgy atheist period in my teens, attempted to reconnect with the Church in my 20s, realised I could never believe such things and have been becoming more of a hard to pinpoint esoteric spiritual mystic since that point. You could easily class me as a pagan but I do not think of myself as such, I am drawn to perennial spiritualism, Ramesside theology, some neoplatonism, and other pre-Christian myths naturally speak to me far more than Christianity ever did. I am also interested in the intersection of religion and political power. Many on /pol/ will disagree but I believe that opponents of Js must leave Christianity behind as it is a large attack vector for them against us.

>Arguing theology with a cultist who has been studying and training in theological debate since he was literally 6 years oldJust don't do it. JW (every organized religion) weaponizes people like this and deploy them as needed to the 'frontline' of debate.Every possible thing you say, permutation of an existing argument, contradiction, etc, has already been studied and then they have been trained in how to respond. It is literally his job, and life purpose, to argue on behalf of his cult.He gets paid to do this, and thinks if he does this well enough, he earns eternal life.So compare that to your level of motivation, and make the decision to disengage.If you have JW in your area and are concerned about them recruiting your friends or family, then you take a gun and put it to the head of an 'elder' in private, and tell him the area is off limits. He won't go to police, and he won't send anyone to kill you. He will just direct his goons to proselytize somewhere else. This pattern repeats itself all over the world, and one of the reason why JW are so nomadic. Gun to head -> move on. It's your job as the clan patriarch to defend your domain from incursions of cultists. Fortunately JW are relatively benign and can be coerced to move on. The same cannot be said of islamists or hindus.

So this is some kind of HUGE blasphemy that has never happened before until our days.>“And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.”—Revelation 13:16-18.Satan here is basically mimicking Jehovah and Jesus on designating his followers. When Jehovah gave Israel the Law, he told them: “You must apply these words of mine to your heart and your soul and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they must serve as a frontlet band between your eyes.” (Deuteronomy 11:18) This meant that the Israelites had to keep that Law constantly before them, so that it influenced all their actions and thoughts. The 144,000 anointed ones are said to have the Father’s name and that of Jesus written on their foreheads. This identifies them as belonging to Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. (Revelation 14:1) In imitation, Satan uses the demonic mark of the wild beast. Anybody engaged in everyday activities such as buying and selling is pressured to do things the way the wild beast does, as, for example, cheating, lying, killing, stealing, etc. They are expected to worship the wild beast, letting it rule their lives, so as to receive its mark.Those who refuse the mark of the beast refuse to engage in daily activities that mimic Satan's attitude of evil.

>>527940144> you must consoooom the blood, goySorry to say, blood transfusions are generally more damaging than life-saving.
>>527941293>Blood tranfusions are dangerous no matter whatGenerally speaking, if you're in need of a blood transfusion, you're already on death's door. There are risks involved, but it's better to take a risk with a bad transfusion than to take a 100% chance of death. Also, you seem to be neglecting that there are a lot of cases that outright require a blood transfusion. If you got shot and are hemorrhaging blood, you NEED new blood in your body.
>>527948849> Generally speaking, if you're in need of a blood transfusion, you're already on death's door. lol, lmao evenIf medicine only gave blood transfusions for hypovolemia after severe trauma, the entire blood industry would collapse.

>>527948723It's not literal women and virginity. We know this because the Apostles were married and they were of the first fruits. Mary is also part of the 144K and she is neither male nor a virgin.Their ‘virginity’ is by remaining separate from the world and by keeping themselves morally and doctrinally pure.—Re 14:1,4; compare1Co 5:9-13;6:15-20;Jas 4:4;2Jo 8-11.We know this because Paul wanted to present the Corinthian congregation “as a chaste virgin to the Christ.” (2Co 11:2-6)The not defiled with women is pic related. The Whore of Babylon who has defiled daughters as well.(Rev 17:5)It's talking about people who are morally chaste and don't participate in false religions.

After the Apostles were given an invitation to heaven, the people in that room were also.(Acts 1:12-15). Mary and the other women there were among those chosen to go to heaven as well. Neither the Apostles nor Mary were literal virgins anymore. It's highly unlikely that those other Christians with were as well. So the virginity in the 144K is only symbolic.

All the philosophy aside, the funniest shit about JW is they predicted the end of the world several times and those predictions failed miserably kek. Once in 1914 then also 1925 and 1975.Prime definition of being a false prophet but I'm sure JWAnon has some retarded explanation why it's not a false prophecy
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.48 I am that bread of life.49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.>15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.EMPHASIS ADDED

They saw JehovahWhen you see Jehovah it makes you go and knock on doors
>>527939977This thread is by a lazy Jehovah's Witness that wants to count the time as having gone out in service instead of going door to door but an apostate just ruined it.
>>527945076A big reason Jehovah’s Witnesses aren’t recognized as “Christian” by most Christian traditions has less to do with the Trinity alone and more to do with the entire architecture of their theology.JW theology aligns much closer to Second Temple Jewish restoration movements than to historic Christianity. The Hebrew Bible and prophetic timelines are the backbone. The New Testament functions more as confirmation material than as the engine of the system. Their covenant logic is Israelite rather than Pauline: a single chosen people, strict boundary maintenance, moral obedience tied to salvation, and an awaited earthly theocracy.That puts them at odds with what most churches see as the defining innovations of Christianity: Pauline universalism, salvation through union with Christ rather than organizational loyalty, and participation in divine life rather than legal conformity. From that perspective, rejecting the Trinity is only one downstream consequence of a much deeper divergence.This is also why calling them “Arian” doesn’t really fit. Arius was still operating inside a Christian metaphysical framework. Jehovah’s Witnesses largely bypass that framework altogether. Their Christology resembles a Jewish apocalyptic agent model more than a fourth-century intra-Christian dispute.So the tension is structural:• If Christianity is defined by Pauline theology, JWs aren’t Christian.• If Christianity is simply one branch of Israel’s messianic expectation, then JWs lose their claim to exclusivity. Also, the only way for this to be accepted is to change the recognized definition of Christianity, which again, is why many branches don't call JWs Christian.There isn’t a configuration where they remain both non-Pauline and the only true Christians at the same time. That contradiction is why they’re rejected by most churches and often described as a high-control restorationist movement rather than a Christian denomination.

>>527939977Hi JW on /pol/. I have questions that I figure could only be answered by a JW, in regard to Christianity as a whole. I have issues believing in the authorship and divine continuity of the biblical scriptures. Additionally I have no clue why only certain books from the original septuagint & dead sea scrolls etc etc (all of the source material for the abrahamic religions) were decided upon to be the Bible. It varies widely between denominations for seemingly arbitrary reasons. This is never explained in a satisfactory and thorough sense anywhere and as such it takes away credibility. I used to study the bible in earnest, and it never panned out because I could not find faith. Ever since I have prayed for faith and been met with deafening silence. This is my personal issue but I elaborate on it for a reason. This and the scriptural issue all seems to lead me to the conclusion that this was all just a paroquial set of stories that bound jews together in their nomadic time of need 3000 years ago, then was taken on by Romans (for various reasons). Any thoughts on this matter?>>527961426This seems like a misconception, their "chosen people" and their strict boundaries you speak of are decided alone by their faith in Christ, though. It is universalist at its core.
>>527962654>What exactly is the official stance on JW's dating outside their religion? ISee>>527944714Read the publications for yourself. They only talk to you in order to recruit you. They do not recommend their members dating and marrying non-members
>>527963986>Heeding the Bible’s warning also spares us the painful consequences that often result when a Christian yokes himself with an unbeliever. There is, for example, the possibility that the unbeliever will turn the Christian mate from serving Jehovah. Consider Jehovah’s warning to ancient Israel. Marriage alliances with nonworshipers were prohibited>Nevertheless, the Bible’s counsel is clear: ‘Do not yoke yourselves with unbelievers.’ (2 Corinthians 6:14) Is this divine warning harsh or unreasonable?OP will tell you otherwise, but the publications make their stance against dating and marrying non-believers very clear

>>527942014Because they have nothing else to offer. I have distant relatives who are JWs and I went to their memorial, which is their version of Easter but also a Black Mass because they make a point of rejecting Jesus' body and blood (unless you are one of the special super chosen, but you're not expected to be one of those so there is social pressure to make a show of rejecting the sacrament).Anyway, aside from that the entire thing is basically an infomercial. They spend the whole time talking about all the great stuff you'll get by being a witness like living forever and a great community. This is about two hours. I've been to many different places of worship and never have I felt more distaste than this. There was no spirituality, it was just a big commercial. But they do make sure all their members try to invite people to this specific event (and so if you know JWs they will be all about trying to get you to come to "the memorial") so it makes sense, it's a big recruitment drive.So again, they come at you with that angle because there is nothing else to offer. They also go through training and drills on how to talk to people, so they're all getting their pitches from a centralized marketing authority

>>527966424Ah. This explains your antipathy to Christianity. I recommend developing your mind beyond the age at which you were first traumatized by life.
>>527966682And god. You forgot god.Or what do you think faith is?Retard.
>>527966802There it is. The real you.
>>527939977Some jackass read the Bible wrong and then going off personal revelations just made a ton of shit up.They're a cult.They act like a cult.That JW fag is on the payroll.
>>527961901the rest will live here on earth
>>527966802Faith is deeply uncertain and mysterious fren. A faith unexamined is not worth having. “I believe Lord, help me in my unbelief.”
>>527966777>I recommend...Stopped reading right there. You would probably recommend Lord of the Rings if someone told you Gandalf was Jesus in disguise.>>527966828>The real youYou mean sceptical? Yes.What do you think your brain is for? Counterbalancing your fat ass?
>>527966929You are in a lot of pain. I can tell life has been hard on you.
>>527966424Jehovah's witnesses will never do anything like that without ulterior motive. When there are disasters they only help witnesses, when there is government aid they take it and lie to their congregants, saying it's from them while telling them how evil their governments are. Yes, they came because they identified your mom as an easy mark. They always do that. They're literally trained on how to pick the people most likely to convert (those with very difficult lives and no support system) and love bomb them as long as there's a chance they join the cult. Once you make it clear you will not, they will evaporate like ghosts. Other Christian denominations do not offer conditional charity, and when they are giving food or partaking in restoration projects make it available to all
>>527949249>You can get bloodless procedures doneAnd you're way more likely to die. Thank God courts often step in to force your kids to get blood transfusions when they're grievously injured as otherwise you cunts would just let them rot.
>>527966907>Faith is deeply uncertain and mysteriousSo is the plot to Harry Potter.>A faith unexamined is not worth havingAnd yet you won't examine faith itself, huh?>>527966989>I can tellYou believe in ghost stories.You can't even tell when I'm (gently) mocking you.>Jehovah's witnesses will never do anything like that without ulterior motiveSame as everybody else. Stop pretending you have the moral high ground.
>>527939977I bet they'd be the first to turn on kikes
>>527967041> when they are giving food or partaking in restoration projects make it available to allCorrect sir. Conversion by subversion is theft and a big nono in the apostolic tradition
>>527967137I certainly do examine faith all the time by reading the church fathers. Only Christ has the moral high ground. I am just a lowly sinner.
>>527966483Attended a mixed funeral and watched an elderly attendant break down in hysterics because the person who passed was "nowhere, just dead", because people were saying it was ok and that he was in a better place. The generation that was promised they would never die
>nu-arianoids
>>527967137> Same as everybody elseConversion is deeply immoral in apostolic tradition. Only God can convert hearts
>>527967271>question my beliefs>check instruction manualpick one.
>>527939977poor & retarded
>>527967189Lol what the JWs do is conversion by subversion, other churches have no design on converting the people they help, they will help regardless of whether you make it clear you will never be an adherent. You're making it sound like you're a covert JW
>>527967371I'm not playing "hunt the invisible friend" games with you. The poster claimed JW's have nothing to offer. I know from personal experience that's not the case. End of.
>>527967379Have you read the philosophical writings of the desert fathers and then gazed at the stars and contemplated their words?
>>527967452I think you have me mistaken with another poster. I am definitely not JW
>>527940144why do you want nigger blood in you? isee why mental illness is as prevalent as it is now
>>527967556Understood, I very well might have
>>527967493No. But I have read the philisophical works of Plato and Marcus Aurelius, and gazed at the stars in contemplation.Sorry to disappoint, but there are too many "desert philosophers" to study in one lifetime.I don't read junk mail either.
>>527967633So have I, and they don’t stretch to where the path ends.
>>527967695>trust me bro, I'm the wizard you're looking forJust fuck off.
>>527967772Tolstoy reached the same conclusion that I did. He was so afraid of this conversation that he feared walking in the forest with his rifle because he was afraid of blowing his head off. That’s the terror of where the path ends.
>>527967861>Some writer was afraid. You should be too...No. I'm not joining your speshul cult.But you do you. I will just sit here and gently mock you.
>>527939977Globalist fucktards doing jew's work. There is no nigger they would not love importing while they have a visceral hatred for Orthodoxy like any tribe-related activism.
>>527968034You’re unfamiliar with Tolstoy? I strongly recommend reading his Confessions. It really parallels Augustine’s but of course Augustine has an excellent treatise on time which was amazing given it was written in 400AD 1100 years before heliocentrism.
>>527939977You shouldn't open the door to heretics.
>>527968269Stop trying to convert me. You think you're being clever quoting literary works, but your fundamental arguments suck.Souls are just tokens used as one half of some circular logic nonsense.God doesn't give a shit about you. Grow up and deal with it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p554R-Jq43A&list=RDp554R-Jq43A
>>527946421>it was pretty cool to experienceso, dealing with anal warts since, or you were a pozzed faggot before that? Little is know that legit, inherently right-wing Christians care less about the pages inserted in the Bible (most of which you said is not even there but writen by a (((Roman))) historian) by generation of kikes trying to subvert the Original message.The jews were so fucking degenerates and demonic in their child abusing rituals that plenty of reformers came around that era, some wth God spirit, some just out of being morally sane. If some shits like Epstein buddies could do it in the age of modern surveillance, I can imagine what kind of shit they could do 2000 years ago.
>>527968598I’m not trying to convert you at all. I would never do that. In fact I’m not even talking with you. I’m presenting information for the lurkers.Don’t you know anything about the internet
>>527946449>43 pbtidHoly mother of circumcised Hindu rats, we have a live one
>>527968787>I’m not even talking with you. I’m presenting information for the lurkersAll these (((you's))) I'm getting are coincidental huh?You people are even dishonest to yourselves.
>>5279655819 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
>>527968957I am not jewish. I denounce zionism and spit on the talmud. The purpose of internet debate is not to convince the target of debate but influence the lurkers. Everyone with an IQ above room temperature or not from r*ddit is aware of this.
>>527968951So now there is a numerical limit for posting in a thread? /pol/ is dead anyway
>>527941326yahweh is not the fatheri don't know exactly why hitler wanted yall out of germany but i don't see why not either
>>527939977Two cute ladies on my doorstep that I have to politely say "thank you" to. Truly awful 2 minutes of my life.

It really parallels Augustine’s but of course Augustine has an excellent treatise on time which was amazing given it was written in 400AD 1100 years before heliocentrism.LOL 400AD wasn't even a real year. all that shit happened after 1000ad
>>527969158>I am not jewishlol>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood, etc...I thought everyone with an IQ above room temperature or not from r*ddit was aware of this.

>>527969494Kek that’s a good troll
>>527967493>then gazed at the starsYou aren't allowed to look at the stars. Deuteronomy forbids it. It's idolatry and it makes the god of Israel very angry. Revering the stars is how I became pagan.
>>527941409Would convert for one on right
>>527969648the real troll are those who convinced humanity its all legit like Scaliger and Bernays
>>527969600My childhood made me stronger. It taught me self-discipline, and not blaming other innocents for my shit.I'm not lashing out at strangers. I'm mocking YOU.I'm also not an athiest. I sound like one to you because you're a disengenious halfwit.>Take my advice and grow up...and believe in my invisible friendlol. No. It's OK to question things. It's not OK to claim you have all the answers.>>527969648Have to admit he got me. But tbf, it's 4chan, and...you know the rest.
>>527963906I answered this here>>527946693The reason why some books ended up in the Apocrypha is because they had contradictory information with the main books. >>527960984We will survive. If we have to go underground then so be it.>>527962654It's prohibited.
>>527969781KEK. Have you seen the telescopes the Vatican has?
>>527939977Witnesses preached that satan controls the world and will try to get us to worship the antichrist and our blood is sacred >vaccines(all)not just 'covid' turns out to be the mark of the beast>turns out world is controlled by satanic lizards(lizards blackmail operation(epstein)
>>527969973Nope. There is no astral content to Christianity.
>>527969958>It's OK to question things. It's not OK to claim you have all the answers.I always question things. Go back and look at my posts and see how much I talk about mysteries and unbelief. You don’t pay attention and project your prejudices and rage towards others
>>527970021Stars are for the goyim
>>527970021That is because you refuse to engage with the writings of the church fathers and doctors. You don’t understand Christianity at all. You hate a child’s construct of Christianity
>>527964375The Word of God. >>527966078>Isn't this Jehova the same as Allah? Muslims and Jews worship the same God, right?No. Allah and Jehovah are not the same God.(Isaiah 42:8) “I am Jehovah. THAT IS MY NAME; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images.(Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, WHOSE NAME IS JEHOVAH, YOU ALONE are the Most High over all the earth.(Ezekiel 36:23) ‘And I shall certainly sanctify my great name, which was being profaned among the nations, which YOU profaned in the midst of them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,’...(Ezekiel 38:23) And I shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’>>(Matthew 6:9, 10) “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.>(John 17:6) “I(JESUS) have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word.>(John 17:26) And I(JESUS) have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”>(Hebrews 2:12) as he says: “I(JESUS) will declare your name to my brothers; in the middle of [the] congregation I will praise you with song.”>(Psalm 22:22) I(JESUS) will declare your name to my brothers; In the middle of the congregation I shall praise you.God has only ONE NAME. Jesus prayed to his father BY NAME. He made his father's name known. That name in English is Jehovah and in Arabic يهوه. Not Allah, not Jesus, not Lord, not LORD, not God, not I AM
>>527969973Those are for spying on distant choirboys in the shower, though.>>527970082>I always question things.Saying you are questioning thigs and ACTUALLY questioning things are completely different. You have to be prepared for a conclusion you don't like for it to be an effective strategy.
>>527970114This is about divination and idol worship
>>527970194I'm right and you're wrong. Augustine thinks this because of Deuteronomy. The Talmud attacks "worshippers of the stars" i.e. goyim constantly.If you admire the stars, you are making your god angry because you are not serving him.
>>527970279You are gazing at them in admiration and it is a form of idol worship. I have already pwned you. You are a pagan now.
>>527970288> you admire the stars, you are making your god angry because you are not serving him.TOP KEK
>>527970327This is so sad. You don’t understand the context in which this was written and why and refuse to listen
>>527970340>zero argument>zero recognition of your position being attacked by the Church Fathers you claim to read and respect
>>527970382Understanding and admiring vs saying the stars are gods. Do you really not get this?
>>527966343>Muslims, Jews and Christians all worship same God, also called JHWH, Jehova, Yahweh, Allah, Eloi, Elohim, Elah. It's same god, just called in different middle east languages.Muslims worship the moon God, Hubal renamed Allah. That's why the symbol of the religion is a moon. Jews worship Satan because they reject Jesus. That's why they are called the Synagogue of Satan in the Bible. Mainline Christianity worship a nameless pagan Trinity they call LORD or I AM. Only JW worship the true God of the Bible.
>>527970461>I'm just gazing at the golden calf in admiration bro, it's fine
>>527970510You are either trolling, stupid or very intellectually dishonest
>>527970493>Jews worship Satan because they reject Jesuslmfao. This is literally a black and white argument.Here. I'll post an infographic for you to study.>>503281217
>>527970556I am correct that Christianity does not care about stars, because the OT condemns it. You are unconcerned about this, I do not care how you rationalise it to yourself, but it creeps me out. The stars don't belong to you.
>>527970668>This is literally a black and white argument.True but it's justified because they openly reject Jesus KNOWING and DENYING he is the Messiah.
>>527970770> Christianity does not care about starsPlease see the Vatican telescope arrays. Please see who codified the Big Bang.
>>527970823It's a fallacy, dumbass. It is never justified.Maybe you should look the word justified up.
>>527970959Catholicism=/= ChristianityWhere did all the wealth come from?
>>527970959You are trying to wriggle out of 2000 years of Christians avoiding looking up.
