ijawkid: Naaaaa.......we stay on a topic till the end...if its about mary we discuss it right down to the end...if its about the use of the rosary we discuss it right down to the end......if its about purgatory we stay on the topic....... Why are you lying openly in public? |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 4:44pm On Apr 10, 2013 |
ijawkid: So wo was the inspiration behind the false prophecies you call "mistakes?" God or Satan? ijawkid: ...we don't remain stiff necked even whÉn it is glaring that §omething is wrong........ But you can see that something is wrong and you remain stiff-necked. Your sect made a prophecy purportedly from God that the world would end in 1975. This is 2013 and the world has not ended. Who lied? God or your sect? And you remain there. Are you not stiffinecked? ijawkid: but that has not changed a thing about the JW's........we don't joke with the prophecies about an impending destruction of this world.......we are ever observant to worlds affairs and how they are connected to scriptural prophecies........ You mean you don't joke with your false prophecies. ijawkid: The question you should ask yourself now is:::::: Why should I ask that? Do you ever ask what Catholics believe? ijawkid: When I attack the doctrines of my colleagues here I first of all know what they really believe down till this moment........... That is a lie. Every Catholic tells you that they worship God alone yet you run around saying that we worship Mary, Saints, Pope, statues, rosaries, candles etc. 1 Like |

italo: The drive for truths and also anticipation of Gods kingdom is what was responsible...... italo: Why should I have left??........do we still hold on to 1975....??...besides the 1975 issue was a speculation and wasn't even a stamped fact back then.......... A stiff necked person is one who would hold on to something for all eternity even when shown the way to make improvements.... italo: I don't joke with end time events and how they fit into scriptural prophecies found in the bible.........if you are not doing that then I guess you are not anticipating an end......abi??... italo:Ofcoures I do.......I don ask tire.....and we've argued over it much on this forum....... italo: Ahhh!!!...........now you see all the wahala u mentioned.??,,,..if the witnesses were in you guys shoes they would have abandoned all of those fettish practices and made adjustments.....now that's the difference between a JW and stiff necked people like you....even when the scriptures itself shows that you are plain wrong,you guys stubbornly choose to stick to what you do because of traditions.......... For example::. If after studying much I come to a realization that the use of beads in worship isn't christian or has any foundation in christianity but rather on paganism why can't I make adjustments??....... Ask yourself.......ask...... |

Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 6:36am On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: So prophecies no longer come from God? ijawkid: If after studying much I come to a realization that the use of beads in worship isn't christian or has any foundation in christianity but rather on paganism why can't I make adjustments??....... If your doctrines can change, how do you know the ones you hold today are true and will not change tomorrow? And who inspired the first one that was later declared wrong? God or satan? 1 Like |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by ijawkid(m): 8:13am On Apr 11, 2013 |
italo: Prophecies from God are already in the scriptures......matured christians only juxtapose them with the happenings around the world.........awareness my bro.....I guess you don't have that..... italo:Example??.....you mean trinity,xmas,hell fire,easter,neutrality to politics and wars etc or our observance to world events??......you know our tenets.....the foundation doesn't change.....we remain meticulous followers of Christ....... italo: I have told you.....the fervor for seeing an end to this wicked world is the driving force..which ofcourse is from God...... And that drive is still intact........that's why we preach tirelessly........ I guess you don't have time for that since you're pre-occupied with idol worship.... |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 12:24pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: So the fervor that made your sect to lie that the world would end in 1975 is from God? |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 12:32pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: My question was: is it true? Is it true that Charles Taze Russel (the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses) lied that Jesus would come back in 1914...and when we didnt see Jesus, he quickly lied again that Jesus had already come invisibly? |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 12:33pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
Before he got his religious career well underway, Charles Taze Russell promoted what he called "miracle wheat," which he sold at sixty dollars per bushel. He claimed it would grow five times as well as regular wheat. In fact, it grew slightly less well than regular wheat, as was established in court when Russell was sued. Later he marketed a fake cancer cure and what he termed a "millennial bean" (which a wag has said probably got that name because it took a thousand years to sprout). Is this true? |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 12:59pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: In his 1920 book titled Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Rutherford taught that the millennium would start in 1925, that the patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were going to return to earth physically. To help God out he built a large palatial Spanish mansion in San Diego, California for Abraham Isaac and Jacob to live in, he called it Beth-Sarim -House of Princes, and tried to deed it to King David. Some quotes of anticipating this event “There will be no slip -up.... Abraham should enter upon the actual possession of his promised inheritance in the year 1925” (WatchTower 10/15/1917, p. 6157) “Beth Sarim was built in 1929 as proof that the resurrection would soon take place.” (Salvation p.311) “The press has scoffed at Beth Sarim, but those faithful men of old will be back on earth before Armageddon ends.” (WatchTower 3/15/1937 p.86) “Beth Sarim, built in 1930 is now held in trust for the occupancy of those princes on their return. “ (New World p.104) “After 1925 expect shortly Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Issac, Jacob…”(Way to Paradise p.224)”The undertakers will decorate these new rooms for the resurrected ones.” (ibid. p.228) 1925 came and went as do all their dates. When and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob never showed up, Rutherford did not want to waste a perfectly good mansion so he moved into it himself and lived there until he died in 1942. 50 years later the Watchtower wrote “Beth Sarim was built for brother Rutherford’s use.” (1975 yearbook) 1975 YEARBOOK, p. 146: “The year 1925 came and went. Jesus' anointed followers were still on earth as a class. The faithful men of old times—Abraham, David and others—had not been resurrected to become princes in the earth. (Ps. 45:16) So, as Anna MacDonald recalls: '1925 was a sad year for many brothers. Some of them were stumbled; their hopes were dashed.... Instead of its being considered a “probability,” they read into it that it was a “certainty,” and some prepared for their own loved ones with expectancy of their resurrection.” 5 years later they commented “Considerable expectation was aroused regarding the year 1975.... Statements published that implied that such realization of hopes by that year was more of a probability than a mere possibility. It is to be regretted ... the publication of the information that contributed to the buildup of hopes centered on that date.” (Watchtower 3/15/1980, p. 17) What the Jehovah’s Witness organization actually said, “Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old. . . (Millions now living will never Die , pp. 89-90) These lies are from Jehovah's Witnesses authorized publications, arent they, Mr Ijawkid? |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 1:06pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: Which Bible did Russell and Rutherford use? Didnt Knorr adulterate the Bible to suit your sect's heresies? |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 1:08pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: I have already given quotes from Jehovah's Witnesses authorized publications like Watchtower, Salvation etc |

mumumugu: Italo take it easy I'm taking it easy, that's why I'm not making allegations. I'm only asking him questions. If I want to attack him like he attacks us... |
Re: Facts You Should Know About Jehovah's Witnesses by italo: 1:18pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
ijawkid: I dont know, maybe you can show us Schools Jehovah's Witnesses own. Jesus did not put in 90 percent of his time into preaching. His active ministry was 3 out of his 33 years on earth. Jesus was the son of a carpenter and I'm sure he helped his father with his work. |
